About Ce Ce Rogers

Cleveland-born vocalist Ce Ce Rogers wisely changed his name from Kenny to avoid confusion with the country/pop singer. James Brown nicknamed him Ce Ce as a teen, after watching the young Rogers imitate Chubby Checker. Rogers later studied music in Boston, where he was a classmate of Wynton Marsalis. Marsalis urged him to concentrate on his vocals. Rogers moved to New Jersey and formed Ce Ce & Company, where he worked with vocalist Sybil. After producer Marshall Jefferson saw his show, he recruited Rogers to sing the vocals on a song he'd written titled "Someday." The song did well enough for Rogers to land his own deal. His 1989 LP Forever was well received by dance audiences, and he followed it in 1991 with Never Give Up. ~ Ron Wynn, All Music Guide

KanYe West
KanYe West keeps on challenging the limits of hip-hop: if "Graduation" was his pop album, the first single from "808s and Heartaches" sees the star going all soulful and expanding the most spiritual side of former highlights such as "Jesus Walk" or "Can't Tell me Nothing". Arguably the first interactive recording ever made, thanks to the KanYe's official blog; when the original mix was posted, many fans reacted sending an avalanche of negative feedback; maybe it was the use of popular pitch-altering software autotune, abused in recent times by everyone from Cher to T-Pain, that led the audience to revolt and ended up with the notorious perfectionist re-recording the vocals and adding some taiko drums to highlight its minimal beat, imitating a heart pounding; posting it again afterwards for general approval. Not happy with that, he later went the Radiohead way, making six different stems (vocals, drums, piano, etc.) available for fans to remix the song themselves. "Love Lockdown" can be seen as West upgrading himself from rapper to proper soul singer and is one of his more inspired and powerful moments to date. A mind-blowing closing performance at this year's VMAs ignited a chart frenzy all over the world and it looks set to last for a few months.
