A multi-platinum selling artist and a multi-talented entertainer, Cox has conquered the R&B pop charts many times over. While singing with Celine Dion, Cox was discovered by the infamous Clive Davis and instantly signed to Arista records. Her Gold-selling self-titled debut album was released in 1995, and in 1998 she followed up with the release of her second album titled One Wish. From the second album came the double Platinum single ‘Nobody’s Supposed To Be Here’ which held the record for being the longest running #1 R&B single for fourteen consecutive weeks and earned her a Lady of Soul and Soul Train Award. ‘We Can’t Be Friends’, ‘Things Just Ain’t The Same’ and ‘It’s Over Now’ soon followed. In 2000 Deborah recorded the duet ‘Same Script Different Cast’ with Whitney Houston.
In addition to both film and television, Deborah also released a Grammy Award nominated tribute album to the legendary Dinah Washington in 2007, as well as an independent R&B album release of The Promise in 2008 where she earned her tenth #1 spot on the Billboard Dance Chart with the international hit ‘Beautiful U R’. Behind the scenes, Deborah has recorded singles for several film soundtracks including Akeelahand the Bee, Hotel Rwanda, Kingdom Come, Money Talks, A Good Man Is Hard To Find and most recently Tyler Perry’s Meet the Browns. With so much experience in so many fields, Deborah Cox appears to be unstoppable.
