Peabo /Bryson is a ro- h
mantic in the truest sense s
jof the word. His words
and music touch the heart h
and soul of Ksteners. r
TWse tales of love and d
romantic devotion make s
up the core of his debut tl
Capitol album n
"REACHING FOR THE V
SKY", an album whose
shades of funk and soul
state on record the complicated
nature of what
love is all about.
Peabo talks openly t)
about REACHING FOR e
?TH E -SKY 'a-romantic 4ia- c
ture and the emotional p
impact he hopes his songs t
will make on today's mar- J1
ketplace. "It's emotional, j
romantic music. It's music t
fe*Jrfc&make1pve by. And, you?
noticed that I said "sa&mS
Sex is-im- ?
portant, but too many of r
'. todays musicians tend to t
make a glorification out fo i
sex without love. What I-?

put some of the romance s
and emotion back into 1
people's thoughts." j
