A classy garage artist from Newark, New Jersey, although he was born and raised in Virginia, Michael Watford's distinctive, soulful baritone graced a number of successful records after his debut, Holdin' On, for EastWest. He grew up performing song-and-dance routines for his parents with his brothers and sisters before joining gospel group the Disciples of Truth at the age of five. From there, he joined Smack Music (Michael and Debbie Cameron), the New Jersey production team from whom Adeva has also benefited, in 1987. It took some time for Watford to progress to center stage, but this was typical of his retiring, almost reticent nature. It was "Holdin' On" that provided the push. Originally housed on a 1992 Atlantic Records compilation (Underground Dance Volume 1), it was soon picked out by club DJs. The Smack team also worked on his debut long-playing set, assisted by producer John Robinson. This housed the successful singles "Luv 4-2" and "So into You," which authenticated his appeal to club audiences and soul fans alike, though he maintained his deep religious beliefs. Michael Watford died on January 26, 2024, at the age of 64. ~ TiVo Staff
