Who Am I?
Born in Alabama, USA, my family moved to Illinois where I grew up. It was here where I graduated from high school as a star tennis player, accepting a tennis scholarship back in Alabama, where I also graduated with a major in economics.
I gained my fame as the frontman for a top 1970s Motown band. After making several hit songs, I decided to venture into a solo career in 1981. In doing so, I went on to achieve further fame as one of the most successful artists of the Eighties. During this time I scored five No.1 hits and thirteen Top 10 hits in the US.
In 1981, I sang a duet with another top singer for the theme song of the movie, “Endless Love”. It became one of the biggest hits for my record label.
In 1975, I married my highschool sweetheart Brenda and in 1983, we informally adopted a 2 year-old girl who we raised as our daughter and formally adopted in 1990. She is now famous and making headlines in her own right. I am currently divorced from my second wife, with whom I had two children.
In 2006, I released my most recent single, which peaked at #6 and was accompanied with a video clip starring my famous daughter. It was my biggest success in 10 years. |
