Usher Will.i.am R&B A playlist dedicated to the singer who dominated airwaves with his songs and moves

In the astronomic world of R&B not many can hold their seat in their serial competition unless you have the flair of Usher. Born Usher Raymond, Usher is one of the most recognised faces in R&B. Releasing his first album when he was just 15, he still retains his eminent stride with his recent announcement of his new album, 'A'. Landing no.1 in the Billboard’s chart, his album has gone as far as the air carries the wind. He has won the Grammy’s, the People’s Choice Award and is even considered a lady’s man with the blessings of an un-ageing vampire look. As he turns 40 today, we celebrate his polished vocals, broad vocal range, chic style, sexy dance moves and sensual ballads with some of his hit songs.
