When I first
heard Marcus Canty on American Idol in 2007 he was great and was only
16. Even though the judges cut him, I knew he was going to be
remarkable. What the heck were the judges thinking? Apparently they
don’t have an ear for good music. After all they cut Jennifer
Hudson. Marcus was born in Bowie, Maryland on January 22, 1991. This
22 year old R&B, soul singer, dancer and musician can hold his
own with the best of them. Marcus was influences by some great
singers like Marvin Gaye, Luther Vandross, Stevie Wonder, Donny
Hathaway, Boys II Men Mary J. Blige, Monica, Bobby Brown, and Whitney
Houston. His song “Won't Make A Fool Out Of You” was in the movie
Think Like A Man. His debut album “This…Is Marcus Canty” was
released in 2013. Yes, he can sing some songs that I put on my
playlist. They are “User By You”, “Won't Make A Fool Out Of You”,
“Tonight”, “Three Words”, “Stay In Love”, “Don’t Pass
Me By” and In Out. Streetwise Radio is playing songs from Marcus
Canty’s album “This…Is Marcus Canty”. I think he did a great
job. I hope on his next album he uses more live musicians because he
was fantastic on American Idol. You can listen to Streetwise Radio on
MyGen365, Live365, Athena365, iTunes and Pandora.
