Biography

Sa carrière musicale est influencée par son enfance pendant laquelle il est membre d’un chœur religieux et d’un groupe à l’école.

L'album Anytime, sorti en 1997, le fait connaître du grand public avec notamment un tube de Diane Warren "Show Me The Way Back To Your Heart). La même année, il interprète l'hymne national au All Star Game de Basket, une prestation mémorable, sous les yeux de Michael Jordan, visiblement ému.

En 1999, il passe chez Motown et continue sa carrière. Son album Back at One sorti la même année et sur lequel il collabore avec Mase, Sean “Puffy” Combs, Mary J. Blige, Vanessa Williams, For Real, Mariah Carey, Regine Velasquez, Boyz II Men, Christina Aguilera et Quincy Jones, est vendu à plus de trois millions d’unités.

En 2001, il participe à l'album hommage à Phil Collins, Urban Renewal.

Davis's character, William "Bill" Dekker, is a newly divorced swinger who goes to work for an attorney (Feldshuh) as an investigator. His assignments have him tracking down divorced men who have reneged on their alimony and child-support payments, a twist of irony considering not only his chauvinistic tendencies but also the fact that he is himself relying on the money he receives from his assignments to cover his own alimony payments. The film takes its title from the song of the same name, which can be heard over the opening credits.

Ebony Scrooge (Williams) is one of the world's most successful pop singers. With her cold-hearted soul and nasty attitude, she lacks a great deal of holiday cheer and makes her band and manager anything but happy. While in New York for a charity concert, Ebony (who was once part of the 1980s trio "Desire") is visited by one of her former singing partners (who died in a car crash), Marli Jacob (Thomas). She tells Ebony that she was unhappy with her for willingly abandoning her that lead to her drug addiction and eventual death. Because of it, Marli is still earthbound and in chains. She warns Ebony of the same fate if she doesn't change her life soon. Marli tells her that she will be visited by three spirits—Ghost of Christmas Past, Ghost of Christmas Present, and Ghost of Christmas Future—who will hopefully turn Ebony's life around.
