Grammy Award winning artist James Mtume has died. He started with jazz in the early 70s, and played with very esteemed artists like Miles Davis and more. But when he got into R&B music, that's what really got him noticed.
He has written and produced Stephanie Mills' "Never Knew Love Like This Before," and he was also known for "The Closer I Get To You" by Donny Hathaway and Roberta Flack. Mr. Mtume was also a public speaker, and hosted a popular radio show in New York. And yes, he is known for that hit "Juicy Fruit" too! He was 76.
