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.
Forgiveness
Kenny Lattimore Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
In the throws of our misunderstanding
or do we fall apart
Can we find forgiveness
Or do we go on like this
Trying to cover up a broken heart
Mmh I made a mistake and I wanna know
Down in the flames of a broken love
If I ever really meant much to you
Then it wouldn't make much sense for you to
Turn your back and walk away from us
What about me
What about you
What about love
What do we do
What of my heart What of my heart
I'm asking you now
Begging you, please tell me
Can we find forgiveness
In the throws of our misunderstanding
or do we fall apart
Can we find forgiveness
Or do we go on like this
Trying to cover up a broken heart
I wonder has there ever been anyone
To go as for as we've come
And never mention of a hurting thing
This episode before us
Shouldn't overcome what we've got
So let's move on and get to better days
For all we know For all we know
We could be the best Oh, yeah
We'll never know
Don't take the chance So from right new
So from today ooh.., yeah, yeah
Let's make a vow
Whatever was wrong
It's over right now Will you forgive me
Can we find forgiveness
In the throws of our misunderstanding
or do we fall apart
Can we find forgiveness
Or do we go on like this
Trying to cover up a broken heart
Can we find understanding
Can we find
Can we find, or do we go
Tell me now will we let this go
I need to know I need to know
Please tell me so Right now, baby

Can we find forgiveness
Is it possible for us to forgive each other?
In the throws of our misunderstanding
Even though we don't see eye to eye in this moment
or do we fall apart
or do we let this divide us
Can we find forgiveness
Is it something we're capable of?
Or do we go on like this
Or will we keep going down this path of hurt?
Trying to cover up a broken heart
Hiding our pain from each other
Mmh I made a mistake and I wanna know
I messed up and I'm willing to admit it
Can you ever forgive me or do we go
Will you be able to forgive me or is this the end?
Down in the flames of a broken love
Will our love crumble and burn away?

If I held value in your life

Abandon us in our time of need
