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.
Destiny
Kenny Lattimore Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
A pretty girl who makes my life complete
Ever since the day I found her
She's all that I dream
No other so lovely
I've never seen such a face
The feeling she gives me
And every time that she smiles
And I look in her eyes
I fell in love with a beautiful girl
There's no one that compares to her
Never thought Id be so lucky
Beautiful girl, beautiful
I wanna make her mine forever
I've been far from perfect
She's had plenty reason to leave, ooh
But somehow she forgives me
From the life I used to lead
I never imagined I could be the one to perceive
Someone as beautiful as she
And every moment that I live and I breathe
She makes my life so sweet
I fell in love with a beautiful girl
There's no one that compares to her
Never thought Id be so lucky
Beautiful girl, beautiful
I wanna make her mine forever
I will always love her for the woman she is inside
Her loves as pure as water that flows when my well is dry
Oh, I'm in love
I fell in love with a beautiful girl
There's no one that compares to her
Never thought Id be so lucky
Beautiful girl, beautiful
I wanna make her mine forever
I think I've found myself an angel
A pretty girl who makes my life complete

Her love is as unadulterated as flowing water during drought
Oh, I'm in love
I am in love
