Robert Cray November 9, 2005

Since their 1986 breakthrough album Strong Persuader, The Robert Cray Band has courted controversy without once consciously seeking it. Strong Persuader's insinuating neo-soul sound was such a revelation, it helped prompt an '80s blues revival and transformed Robert into a pop radio, MTV and VH1 staple. Peer recognition grew with each subsequent recording. By the time the new millennium had dawned, the band had earned a double platinum album and two gold albums, and Robert had been honored with 5 Grammy Awards, 11 Grammy nominations, and countless other honors.
