Born in Akron, OH; educated at the University of Akron (OH). A singer, composer and multi-instrumentalist, Ingram moved to Los Angeles in the early 70's where he played keyboards for Leon Haywood, and formed his own group, Revelation Funk. He also served as demo singer for various publishing companies, an occupation that led to his meeting and working with Quincy Jones. Ingram's vocals were featured on 'Just Once' and 'One Hundred Ways' from "The Dude" (1981), one of Jones's last albums for A & M Records. Both tracks made the US Top 20. Signed to Jones's own Qwest label, Ingram had a US # 1 in 1982, duetting with Patti Austin on 'Baby, Come To Me', which became the theme for the popular television soap 'General Hospital'. In the same year, he released 'It's Your Night', an album that eventually spawned the hit single 'Ya Mo B There' (1984), on which he was joined by singer / songwriter Michael McDonald, and made the US Top 20 again when he teamed with Kenny Rogers and Kim Carnes for 'What About Me?'. Ingram's subsequent albums, 'Never Felt So Good', produced by Keith Diamond, and 'It's Real', on which he worked with Michael Powell and Gene Griffin, failed to live up to the promise of his earlier work, although he continued to feature in the singles chart with 'Somewhere Out There', a duet with Linda Ronstadt from Steven Spielberg's animated movie AN AMERICAN TAIL, and 'I Don't Have The Heart', which topped the US chart in 1990. Also in that year, Ingram was featured, along with AI B, Sure!, El DeBarge and Barry White, on 'The Secret Garden (Sweet Seduction Suite)', from Quincy Jones's album 'Back On The Block'. Ingram has also served as a backing singer for several other big-name artists, such as Luther Vandross and the Brothers Johnson. His compositions include 'P.Y.T. (Pretty Young Thing)', which he wrote in collaboration with Quincy Jones for Michael Jackson's 1982 smash hit album 'Thriller'. He has written songs for THE SLUGGER'S WIFE (1985), MR. WONDERFUL (1993), BEETHOVEN'S 2ND (1993) and JUNIOR (1994). Since 1975, Ingram has been married to his childhood sweetheart, Debra Robinson; they have 6 children.  Nominated for Achievement in Music - Original Song 1993: BEETHOVEN'S 2ND "The Day I Fall in Love" - Music & Lyric (w.
