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.
Healing
Kenny Lattimore Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Bring your burdens here
Jesus is waiting, give Him your cares
Come to Him as you are
Mercy and grace you'll find
There is healing, healing for your soul
Your salvation's here
The Lord is waiting today to fill
Your heart with love, joy and peace
Won't you give Him a try?
There's healing for, there's healing for
There's healing for your soul, your soul
These lyrics are from the chorus of Kenny Lattimore's song "Healing." The song is an invitation for those who are burdened, hurting or seeking a solution to their struggles to come before God who is waiting to offer them healing. The lyrics encourage the listener to come into His presence, to bring their burdens and cares, and to come as they are. The invitation is extended to everyone regardless of their past or present circumstances, and the song speaks of the mercy and grace that can be found in God's presence. The song assures the listener that the Lord is waiting with love, joy, and peace and that there is healing for their souls if they give Him a try.
Overall, the song resonates with the message of hope that is found in the Bible. Jesus himself invited those who are weary and heavy-laden to come to Him, and He promised to give them rest (Matthew 11:28). In a world where there are so many things that can weigh us down, Kenny Lattimore's song is a reminder that there is hope in God and that we can find healing in His presence.
