Campbell Tevin Song Lyrics

Tevin Jermod Campbell (born November 12, 1976) is an American R&B singer-songwriter. He scored a string of R&B chart hits as a teenager in the early to mid-1990s.

Born in Waxahachie, Texas,Tevin Campbell by the age of four, had a passion for singing. Likened to such greats as Stevie Wonder and Michael Jackson, Campbell began by singing gospel, first as a choir member, and then as a soloist at Jacob's Chapel in a small town just south of Dallas, Texas. Apart from his favorite singer, Aretha Franklin, his greatest influence as a child was probably his mother, Rhonda Byrd. Then a postal worker, she was known to the Texas congregation as "little Aretha."

As Campbell told Dennis Hunt of the Los Angeles Times, "[My mother] pushed me and made me see trying to be a big solo singer was something I should do. Without her pushing, I'd still be in the background. To some extent, that's what happened to her. She has a good singing voice that she never fully developed. I guess nobody pushed her to get ahead. She didn't want to see me waste my talent too. When I was younger I wasn't sure what I wanted, but she knew what was best for me, and I went along with it." Rhonda went on to become Tevin's co-manager.
