ARTIST BACKGROUND

About Keith Sweat

Song-specific inspiration or recording background is not established for this entry. This sourced artist profile provides career context.

Keith Sweat became associated with new jack swing through Make It Last Forever, his 1987 debut made with producer Teddy Riley. I Want Her emphasized dance rhythms, while the album's title song showed his ballad style. Later solo albums included I'll Give All My Love to You and Keep It Comin'. A separate partnership with Gerald Levert and Johnny Gill produced Levert.Sweat.Gill, extending his vocal work into a collaborative group setting.
