My Take
Regina Belle is one of those voices I feel deserves to be said in the same breath as the bigger R&B names of her era. The New Jersey native and Rutgers grad broke through in the mid-1980s, but for me she'll always be tied to 'A Whole New World,' that soaring Aladdin duet with Peabo Bryson that seemingly everyone knows even if they can't name her. I admire that range, from her own hits like 'Baby Come to Me' to anchoring a Disney classic. She strikes me as a singer with genuine craft who never quite got the household-name status her talent warranted.
