Ephraim Lewis released Skin in June of 1992. I can't remember when I first saw the album or what inspired me to buy it. I just know it must have been sometime after 1994. I fell in love the the entire CD and decided I had to have more of his music. Sadly, that's when I learned that he had died at the age of 26... under rather odd circumstances. There's an "unofficial fan site" that gives a history of his life and death.
This clip is just one of the hauntingly beautiful soul/R&B cuts from his lone album:

I enjoyed the video... a bit of younger Luther Vandross. It always amazes me at how we lose some people along the way who had the most promise. Enjoyed it, sent the link to a friend who is abig R&B fan.

Oh, I like this. I'm not familiar with him ( not really into R&B )but I liked the clip!
