Lattimore first developed his interest for music in the high school band program at Eleanor Roosevelt High School in Greenbelt, Maryland. He often acknowledges Dr. Baker for setting him on current path. Lattimore recently spoke at the 2005 Eleanor Roosevelt High School Graduation.
After a stint as a member of the R&B group Maniquin, Kenny regrouped and released his debut album Kenny Lattimore on Columbia Records in 1996. That set boasted a pair of Top 20 hits "Never Too Busy" and the perennial wedding favorite "For You". The huge success of the album earned Lattimore a win for Best New Artist at the NAACP Image Awards in 1996.[1]
He followed his debut up with another critically-acclaimed set of smouldering soul music when From The Soul Of Man was released in 1998, yielding the hits "Days Like This" and "If I Lose My Woman". After a short hiatus, the singer re-emerged with a new album and a new label. Arista Records would be the new home for Weekend whose title track was a radio favorite.
He married R&B singer Chanté Moore on January 1, 2002. In 2003, he and his wife recorded a duet album entitled Things That Lovers Do consisting of classic soul songs from the 70's and 80's plus two new original songs. The standout singles were the smooth & contemporary "Loveable (From Your Head To Your Toes)" and an upbeat funky cover of René & Angela's "You Don't Have To Cry". The music video for the latter featured a very pregnant Chante Moore shortly before she gave birth to the couple's son Kenny Jr. on April 10, 2003. Lattimore & Moore continued promoting the album with a hugely successful touring stage show.
Following the success of Things That Lovers Do, Kenny released another album of duets with his wife. This time, the duo bested the previous effort with a double-CD of gospel and R&B love songs entitled Uncovered/Covered. The set will be lead off by dual singles, a slick Bryan Michael Cox production "Figure It Out", as well as "Make Me Like The Moon", a stirring gospel ballad co-written by Kenny and Chanté, and produced by Fred Hammond. Uncovered/Covered was released in stores October 10, 2006 on LaFace/Verity/Zomba Music Group and debuted at #10 on the Billboard R&B Charts and #2 on the Billboard Gospel charts its first week in stores.
Come To Me
Kenny Lattimore Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Sit down, relax a while
There's no work this time
So I'm all yours tonight
Baby, let's unplug the phone
So that no one will know that we're home
(Unless we should, we'll let 'em believe it)
I don't want nothing to break the flow
It's about the time that we get closer, come on
I'll pour my love like wine, sweet and slow
What you need I'll be tonight
We'll do everything by candlelight
Just you and me
Don't you worry 'bout a thing
I'll be giving you the very love
That you've been missing
Come to me, come closer
I'm feeling your love all over
Come to me, come closer
I'm feeling her love, I love her
Don't pretend tonight, you know I want ya
Let's be real alright 'cause you know
I just wanna love ya, love ya, love ya, love ya
Come to me, come closer
I'm feeling your love all over
Come to me, come closer
I'm feeling her love, I love her
You, I love you so much
You know I love you so much, baby
Come to me, come closer
I'm feeling your love all over
Come to me, come closer
I'm feeling her love, I love her
Come to me, come closer
I'm feeling your love all over
Come to me, come closer
I'm feeling her love, I love her

Baby, come inside
I want you to come into my house
Sit down, relax a while
Take a seat and unwind for some time
There's no work this time
We have nothing to do, it's our time
So I'm all yours tonight
Tonight I'm entirely dedicated to you
Baby, let's unplug the phone
Let's disconnect the telephone line
So that no one will know that we're home
To keep our privacy, let's pretend we're not in the house
(Unless we should, we'll let 'em believe it)
Or else, if necessary, we'll admit it
Got the music nice and low
Let's play low volume music to keep the serenity
I don't want nothing to break the flow
I don't want any interruption to cause a disturbance in our time together
It's about the time that we get closer, come on
We should connect emotionally and physically now
I'll pour my love like wine, sweet and slow
I'll show you my affection in a slow and gentle way
What you need I'll be tonight
I'll be whatever you desire tonight
We'll do everything by candlelight
We'll have a romantic atmosphere by lighting candles
Just you and me
Only the two of us are present
Don't you worry 'bout a thing
You don't have to worry, I'll take care of everything
I'll be giving you the very love
I'll provide you with all the love
That you've been missing
You've been longing for this affection and I'll give it to you
Come to me, come closer
Come nearer to me
I'm feeling your love all over
I sense your love all around me
I'm feeling her love, I love her
I feel the love of my partner and I love her
Don't pretend tonight, you know I want ya
Let's be real tonight because I want you
Let's be real alright 'cause you know
Let's be authentic because you understand it too
I just wanna love ya, love ya, love ya, love ya
All I want to do is love you repeatedly
You, I love you so much
I'm crazy about you.
Come to me, come closer
Come nearer to me
I'm feeling your love all over
I sense your love all around me
I'm feeling her love, I love her
I feel the love of my partner and I love her
Come to me, come closer
Come nearer to me
I'm feeling your love all over
I sense your love all around me
I'm feeling her love, I love her
I feel the love of my partner and I love her
