American R&B singer Kenny Lattimore has released eight studio albums, two compilation albums, and two compilation albums with his former wife Chanté Moore. After fronting the R&B group Maniquin in the late 1980s to early 1990s, Lattimore left to pursue a solo career, prompting the group's disbandment.[1] He relocated to New York City where he was signed to Columbia Records as a solo act in 1995.[1] A year later, the label released his self-titled debut album, which reached the top 20 on Billboard's Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart and was certified Gold by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA).[2][3] It produced three singles, including the R&B top 20 hit "Never Too Busy" and the top ten peak, "For You."[2]
Lattimore assumed greater creative control on his second album From the Soul of Man, released in 1998.[4] The album peaked at number 71 on the US Billboard 200 and number 15 on the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart, selling 83,000 copies domestically.[5] While none of its singles impacted on the US Billboard Hot 100, its first two singles "Days Like This" and "If I Lose My Woman" became top ten hits on the Adult R&B Songs chart.[2] In 2001, music executive Clive Davis signed Lattimore to join Arista Records, resulting in Lattimore’s third solo album Weekend. Characterized by its more upbeat production and fresh collaborations.[4] it was his first project to miss the top 20 on the R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart.[2]
In 2003, Arista issued Things That Lovers Do, a collaborative studio album with his then-wife, singer Chanté Moore. Comprising cover versions of classic 1970's and 1980's soul duets, it became the highest-charting album for both singers, reaching number 31 on the US Billboard 200 and number three on the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart.[2] A second album with Moore, a double album titled Uncovered/Covered, consisting of one disc of R&B songs and another of gospel songs,[4] was released through LaFace and Verity Records in 2006. Although commercially less successful than its predecessor, it marked their debut on the US Top Gospel Albums chart, reaching number two.[2]
After the two duet albums with Moore, Lattimore released Timeless, his own cover album, through Verve Records in 2008. It peaked at number 53 on the Billboard 200, becoming his highest-charting solo album, and marked his first project to reach the R&B/Hip-Hop Albums top ten.[2] Following a hiatus and a period of artistic identity crisis,[6] the singer produced the album Back 2 Cool, which was eventually reworked and released by his own label Sincere Soul in partnership with eOne Music under the title Anatomy of a Love Song.[4] It marked his debut on the US Independent Albums chart, peaking at number ten.[2] Later albums did not achieve the same commercial success, though A Kenny Lattimore Christmas (2016) became another top five success on the Top Gospel Albums.[2] Here to Stay, Lattimore's eighth solo album, failed to chart in 2021.[2] One of its singles, "Take a Dose," marked his second chart topper on the Adult R&B Songs, however.[7]
