R&B singer Peabo Bryson, best known for his voice on Disney classics like A Whole New World and Beauty and the Beast, has died aged 75.

He died on Tuesday evening surrounded by family and loved ones, his family said in a statement.

A cause of death has not been released publicly, but Bryson suffered a stroke over the weekend and had been receiving medical care.

The veteran R&B singer was the voice behind hits that spanned from the 1970s to 2010s, including Feel the Fire, I'm So Into You, Can You Stop the Rain, If Ever You're In My Arms Again and Reaching for the Sky.

"For more than five decades, Peabo's extraordinary voice served as the soundtrack to some of life's most cherished moments," his family said in the statement.

"His music carried generations through joyful celebrations, great love stories and enduring moments of comfort and inspiration, creating a legacy that will forever live in the hearts of those who loved him and the countless lives he touched through song."

Bryson won two Grammy Awards in 1992 and 1993 for two duet performances that went on to define a generation of Disney films: Beauty and the Beast with Celine Dion in the title track of the film with the same name, and A Whole New World with Regina Belle in the film Aladdin.

"While our hearts are broken, we find comfort in knowing how deeply Peabo was loved and how many lives were touched by his voice and his generous spirit," his family shared. "His legacy and music will live on for generations to come."

Bryson recently performed in a concert with Jeffrey Osborne in the US state of Georgia in May.

He was set to perform several shows for his Golden Touch tour later this year, in celebration of his five decades in the music industry.

Back in April, Bryson celebrated his 75th birthday and shared photos of his celebration with his family and friends on social media.

The only thing that keeps me calm in turbulent times is good music. He was among the contemporary of great musicians that gave us timeless music with terrific lyrics and great melodies.

Our old school musicians were so damn good. It will take a lifetime for any gen z singer to match their talents. I hope he sings his way to heaven where he will find eternal rest.

Bless your soul Bryson. I grew up listening to you as a teen. Rest well

I de tell u. Because of them, I rarely listen to any Gen Z music. They are just built different and U can actually connect to their music.

Rest in peace, condolences to his family

Rest in peace. One of the greatest with a great voice.

One of my favourite musician, rest in peace

Here's another morning without you
Here's another day, will I get through it
Without breaking down?
Haven't seen the sun since you've been gone
Like my heart, I lost it when you left me
And it can't be found
How can I go on?
Baby, I'd be living on memories
Of you and me
All the love we made
All those tender nights
And those endless days
They're all here inside
Baby, can you stop the rain from falling?
Won't you chase my clouds away?
I'd give anything to see the sun again
Only you can stop these tears from falling
I can't face another day
Baby, can you stop
Can you stop the rain?

Chai ! Very unfortunate. Rest in peace sir

These are artists that made music sound really good.

Peabo preason stole the hearts of people like me with his collabo with Regina Belle on :`A whole new world`

Till we meet again. Rip.

That song A whole new world, I don't joke with it. It's on a whole new level.

Tonight I celebrate my love for you...

Oh! Paebo Bryson

Can't forget his hit track with Kenny G- by the time this night is over. Literally one of my favourite songs . RIP to him

and the fake daddy GOs & evil politicans are still alive ?

The generation that makes music what it is and what it is supposed to be gradually leaving us one after the other.
I rmbr using most of their songs to win girls heart back then.
R.I.P Pearbo, you legacy lives on

drstranged:
Tonight I celebrate my love for you...

Stop this nah, why are you bringing back beautiful memories that wounds my heart.
Tonight I celebrate my love for you
And the midnight stars
Is all over shinning thru
Tonight, there'll be no distance between us.
What I want us to do
Is to make love to you, tonight!

May his soul rest in peace.

I too downloaded and listened to a whole new world.

So so nostalgic. 😍

Abeg forget, beautiful songs are long gone, not all this rubbish we keep hearing now

His duet with Roberta Flack titled "You're looking like love to me" is my forever go-to love song.

Thank you for the memories, Peabo🙏🕊

Still remember this song Roberta Flack with Him.
Evergreen

A whole new world
A new fantastic point of view
No one to tell us, No
Or where to go
Or say we're only dreaming
