ブライアン・マックナイト(Brian McKnight)はソフトでやさしいボーカルで女性を虜にするような甘いメロディを歌い上げるシンガーであり、ソングライターとしても活躍してきた人物だ。 昨今の優れたR&Bシンガーの例にもれず、彼も教会の聖歌隊出身。1969年、NY州で生まれた彼は祖父が聖歌隊の指揮者という音楽家族のなかで育ち、ごく自然にアーティストの道に進んだという。 ヴァネッサ・ウィリアムズ(Vanessa Williams)とのデュエット曲"Love Is"などのヒットでチャンスをつかんだ彼は順調にキャリアを重ね、97年にはP.ディディ(P.Diddy)のプロデュースによりJBのループが刺激的な"You Should Be Mine"をヒットさせる。この曲を収録したアルバム"Anytime"以降も、"Back At One"(1999)、"Superhero"(2001)、"U Turn"(2003)、"Gemini"(2005)とスタンダードな歌が楽しめる作品をコンスタントにリリースし続け、2007年の"Ten"でタイトルどおり10作目まで発表している。 .
