#Usher Raymond IV (born October 14, 1978) is an American singer, songwriter, businessman, and dancer. He was born in Dallas, Texas, but raised in Chattanooga, Tennessee, until moving to Atlanta, Georgia. At the age of 12, his mother put him in local singing competitions before catching the attention of a music A&R from LaFace Records. He released his self-titled debut album Usher (1994), and rose to fame in the late 1990s with the release of his second album My Way (1997). It spawned his first U.S. Billboard Hot 100 number-one single "Nice & Slow", and the top-two singles "You Make Me Wanna..." and "My Way". His third album, 8701 (2001), produced the number-one singles "U Remind Me" and "U Got It Bad", as well as the top-three single "U Don't Have to Call". It sold eight million copies worldwide and won his first two Grammy Awards as Best Male R&B Vocal Performance in 2002 and 2003.
Confessions (2004) established him as one of the best-selling musical artists of the 2000s decade, containing four consecutive Billboard Hot 100 number-one singles-"Yeah!" (featuring Lil Jon and Ludacris), "Burn", "Confessions Part II", and "My Boo" (with Alicia Keys)-and the top-ten "Caught Up". It sold over 20 million copies worldwide and was certified Diamond by the RIAA. After splitting from his manager and mother in 2007, he released the albums Here I Stand (2008) and Raymond v. Raymond (2010), both of which debuted atop of the Billboard 200 chart and respectively produced the number-one singles "Love in This Club" (featuring Young Jeezy) and "OMG" (featuring will.i.am). The EP Versus produced the top-five single "DJ Got Us Fallin' in Love" (featuring Pitbull) before the release of the top-fifteen single "More". Looking 4 Myself (2012) also debuted atop the Billboard 200 chart with the top-ten single "Scream". The R&B ballads "There Goes My Baby" and "Climax" received Grammy Awards in 2011 and 2013. "I Don't Mind" (featuring Juicy J) also reached the top-fifteen in 2014, while Hard II Love (2016) peaked at five on the Billboard 200 chart. In 2018, he released A, a collaborative album with record producer Zaytoven.
Usher has sold 23.8 million albums and 38.2 million digital songs in the United States. Internationally, he has sold 80 million records worldwide, making him one of the best-selling music artists of all time. At the end of 2009, Billboard named him the second most successful artist of the 2000s decade, the number-one Hot 100 artist of the 2000s decade, and ranked Confessions as the top solo album of the 2000s decade. In 2010, Billboard placed him at number 6 on their list of Top 50 R&B/Hip-Hop Artists of the Past 25 Years. In 2019, Billboard also placed him at number 14 on their "Greatest of All Time Hot 100 Artists" list. Usher has earned 9 number-one singles. Considered an icon and sex symbol, he has had TV and film appearances and seen inductions into the Georgia Music Hall of Fame, the Black Music and Entertainment Walk of Fame, and the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Usher has won numerous awards and accolades including eight Grammy Awards, 34 ASCAP Awards, nine Soul Train Music Awards, and eight American Music Awards. With 18 awards, Usher is the fifth-most awarded artist at the Billboard Music Awards. He owns the record label Raymond-Braun Media Group (RBMG), a joint venture with talent manager Scooter Braun that includes Canadian singer Justin Bieber. Alongside a successful music career, Usher is also acclaimed for involvement in humanitarian causes and is the founder of Usher's New Look foundation.

Marvin was way ahead of his time . Still so relevant today . Rest in Peace Marvin . Still with us in Spirit and through your music . 💞🙏, Peace , Love , Health and Prosperity to All ,
Salute to Usher! Got me Bruh, this medley really felt like Marvin Gaye RIP.
This has me teary eyed. Next to "Flying High," "Save the Children" is my favorite song off of the classic,"What's Going On?" Good job Usher and Trombone.
Usher is no joke when it comes to covering other people's songs. I first heard him do Marvin Gaye's "Can I Get A Witness" when he played him on the sitcom "American Dreams" based on American Bandstand, and his versions of Luther Vandross' "Superstar", Stevie Wonder's "That Girl" as well his medley of Marvin Gaye's "What's Goin' On" with "Mercy Mervy Me" proves he ranks among the best. And Trombone Shorty is high on my list as well!
What A Wonderful Combination To Represent That Song, Trombone Shorty And Usher Did A Fantastic Job, Love This Song.
Praying for our children in worn torn countries…. Sing Usher! Honoring the genius that is Marvin Gaye!
So happy to know Usher actually understands what Marvin Gaye stood for: all men!
Usher did the damn thing!! I remember this album, still have it, i was a teenager, and this was true then and is true now.Sad!
Damn Usher, you sang the hell out of this song, I have this album, I was going on 16 yrs old when this was out, and times were quite the difference, I would love to here you sing" Ball of Confusion" by the Temptations, I was about to cry on this on. Man you can cover a song, Marvin would be happy with this, Peace, right on!
Love Marvin, love Usher. good vibes, hard times.
Dear Marvin, two of your great songs , right there at the White House! It is just Amazing!!
Dig the musician behind Usher. Playing all those instruments. So talented. Black men rock. Please know that you are cherished and loved.
Wonderful rendition of some songs from the most organic album ever made by Motown, and one of the greatest records ever made.
It's the lyrics that made this song a prophetic history and future of mankind. What is man prepared to do to make it a Better World?
A great Song! ☮☮☮
A song that will always be a favorite well done usher
Great Performance
Civil disobedience...very well spoken ush💕💕💕💕💕
A EMOÇÃO NA FLOR DA PELE. SALVE MARVIN!
beautiful and soulful. makes you think when will we start trying ?
Trombone Shorty rocks the house with Usher singing from Marvin Gaye's sweet songbook. Rings true today. Obama is putting together some great White House performances.
Usher handled that!!!
Great job by all!!
Usher betta sing that song!Yesss!
REST IN PERFECT LOVE AND PEACE BROTHER MARVIN ,
Wonderful rendition..👌💪💪👏👏👍
So cool. Soothing..
I love him , just wish I could see him!
Surfing UA-cam and came by this vid and it brought tears to my eyes because, that was a time when I thought we as a nation turned the corner and were becoming better.
Better because we elected a black POTUS, better because we gave permission for gay couples to love and marry. Better because we wanted all of our citizens to be medically taken care of. Its makes me sad as to where we are headed now.
academicone1 same :( yes. "Things ain't what they used to be"
@@trollsthatlol1 I feel y'all. Back then the White House was truly the People's House. As a vocalist, I miss what we had. My president was working for the people while giving us some truly fantastic music moments. Too bad we can't go backwards and get some of that love back.
Thank you!! Save the children!!!!! No more War!!!!!
I love you Raymond Usher for ever
Como é bom escutar uma ótima música essa essência é ótima da para flutuar ouvindo essa música detalhes.
Good afternoon from Singapore! I hope you'd have a blessed day =)
Usher ❤️
Bro Obama vibing to this song is funny AF, got me ded 😂
Say Whaaaaat? Awesome.
The spirit of Marvin Gaye was in that room
Its awesome
Nice zong man Yes man 💪👍🔥💥💯🇸🇷 love it 💞🇸🇷👌👈👍💖💝💞
I love you usher
Quando você vai vim ao Brasil fazer um show
I respect Bob Babbitt's original bassline, but Nathan East blew it right out of the water...channeling James Jamerson a little, too. East is such a great bassist.
incredible
Usher looks like a gentleman.
Nathan East doing justice to this great James Jamerson bassline
yeah waz just about to ask who the bass payer waz... stopped the video few minutes in... so back to the matter
Although most of bass-playing on the "what's going on" album was done by james jamerson, bob babbitt played the bass on "mercy mercy me".
@Thomas Oeffling well Nathan East played the bass for "Mercy - Mercy Me" with Jamerson style and he used some of "What's Going On" bassline in that song
J M yeah, the original track sounds good so I give props to Babbitt, but it doesn’t have the level of drive and innovation of Jamerson. Nathan East definitely felt his inner Jamerson here. Does anyone have the breakdown of who played bass on each track of the album?
Mercy was Babbitt but save the children was Jamerson.
yes go usher i love you
The Best
Amor 💘 😍 💌 💖 💓
2:14 this is why I play it 51 timeS
trombone shorty reppin nola in the white house
YES!!
ohh, C'mon... I never even heard about this fella until I tried to look up for some M. Gaye music. Drop me out USA
Wow!!!!!!!!
Awesome
Them peoples be feeling it
Marvin....the Great.
Caught the hat tip to Bobby Womack at 4:26. Nice.
Awww 🥰
Yo know it’s legit when everyone in the room is singing the song
The "Big Three" of Duke Ellington's Orch., also Trummy Young, Carl Fontana, Frank Rosolino, J.J. Johnson, all deceased trombone greats could have played circles around Trombone Shorty.
Thanks for informing us. Know-it-alls have so much to offer.
Jeff you’re so knowledgeable about music
mercy mercy bleu sky
And here's Usher, and here, yes, over here, here's Obhama, soulful to your requests, and you think it's coincidence? dem b'tchz be playing you short, Badu witchery - hold on, yes of course, I'll watch you, we can lose together, holding hands if you want, or not~
TOP.......................
And Still
the day that I was born
the irony of singing "save the children" to this group of people
the irony of you being here just to spout off at the mouth about your conservative views...
@@leonardrelford8098 instantly assuming that this person is conservative. So it’s not okay for Ghezal to assume things about the actions of our leaders but it is to assume that this belief and Ghezals viewpoints are conservative? So hypocritical and ignorant. This is precisely why American society has slowly begun collapse.
I miss that about obama years at least he knew what good music was.
Start 2:15
Cool performance by Usher. What concert is this? Is there more of it on the Tube?
Lol I'm two years late, but this is from A Celebration of American Creativity: In Performance at the White House in 2016. Honestly, every time the Obamas hosted any kind of performance, he was there lol. And for every black person's funeral come to think of it lol.
We'll have none of this artistic expression in the Trump White House!! Thank you President Obama for making it America's House.
2:29
I answer you Usher.... Who REALLY CARED TO CHANGE SOMETHING, is just Dead, RIP Michael Jackson!
Papa
え？オバマ前大統領夫妻がいますね？驚きましたけど居ても不思議はないですね。出来たら私も生で聴きたいですもの。
Cher president Obam en ecoutant ca avez vous pense aux enfants Syriens brules par les barils de Bashar envoyes du ciel en periode de treve!!!!!!!!!!!!
O inferno é um lugar onde não há DESCANSO E NEM DE PAZ, tem TORTURA A TODO INSTANTE E É POR TODA A ETERNIDADE, bora se entregar a ele e vigiar,enquanto ainda há tempo
Quer aceitar a Jesus?
Se quiser aceitar q Jesus,te mandarei um texto pra vc está aceitando
Who is the black guy on the horn?
His name Troy Andrews we call him Trombone Shorty in New Orleans
2:14!
O cara que ouve isso, estando no poder, tem que parar na hora de usar carro à gasolina, álcool, diesel ou qlqr outro combustível que polui o ar.
Obama's awesome brought some flavor an black culture too the white house
You know that's right !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
amazing job by usher. wasnt really a fan of him singing mercy mercy me. so far John Legend is the only current artist that I know could hit those high notes and sing it almost like Marvin.
Usher didn't save Justin briber
Barack Obama: "Maaah nigga"
usher has a nice voice but still cant match marvins voice i swear
Seems too perky.
Wow he is so gifted and talented too bad I had to thumb him down because of that.... 😡😡😡
Don’t be too hard. No one is perfect. I don’t know what made you think so, but as an artist and a human being, he deserves respects.
