Billy Stewart

Billy Stewart was a distinctive R&B singer best known for his smooth yet dynamic vocal style and energetic delivery. Born in 1937 in Washington, D.C., Stewart blended classic soul with a unique, almost percussive way of singing, often incorporating rapid-fire vocal riffs that set him apart from his peers. He gained widespread recognition in the 1960s with hits like "I Do Love You" and his soulful, scat-filled rendition of George Gershwin's "Summertime," which became one of his signature songs.

Despite his success, Stewart's career was tragically cut short when he died in a car accident in 1970 at the age of 32. Though his time in the spotlight was brief, his influence on R&B and soul remains strong, with his distinct vocal approach continuing to inspire artists across generations.
