Keith Sweat is certainly a well known name in the American music industry. His contribution in music industry is undeniable and he will be forever remembered for his prolific composition. After going through some trials and tribulations in the early stage of his career, he got the first break through when he was offered by Elektra Records in the year 1987. This was the important turning point of his long and illustrious musical career. Apart from being a prolific song writer, he is also a brilliant vocalist as well. He started his illustrious musical career with the famous musical band “Jamilah” in the year 1975. Sweat sharpened his musical skill after joining this album and it was his hard work and perseverance that made him so popular in the industry within a brief span of time.

Sweat toured in three major cities in United States: Connecticut, New York and New Jersey. This extensive tour with “Jamilah” helped him to come to the forefront of the music industry. It also helped him to clutch the attention of media as well. After consolidating his position in the music industry, he released his first solo album under the title of “It Last Forever” which was released in the year 1987. Approximately over 3,000,000 copies of this album were sold within a short span of time. This album is obviously one of the ground breaking albums. One of the famous singles of this album was “I want her”. This album topped in almost all the musical charts in the United States.

Inspired by the outstanding success of his debut album, Sweat released his second album “I’ll Give All My Love to You” which was released in the year 1990. This album was also an instant hit. It ranked 6th position in the Billboard 200 chart but this album failed to make an impressive impact on the audience. The lackadaisical attitude in promoting this album deterred it from emulating the previous album. But despite of this fact, almost over 2,000,000 copies of this album were sold. “Why Me Baby”, “Tellin' Me No Again” and obviously the title track of this album are some of the famous singles of this album.

The fourth album of Sweat was released in the year 1994 under the title “Get Up On It”. Over 1,000,000 copies of this album were sold but this album couldn’t cast a long lasting impression on the audiences. This album is followed by his next album “Keith Sweat” which broke all his previous records. Within a short span of time, approximately 4,000,000 copies of this album were sold. Some of the singles of this album become all time hits. This album was released in the year 1995 and it clutched in 5th position in the Billboard 200. “Nobody” and “Twisted” are some of the famous singles of this album.

But this period of brilliant success and prolific composition was followed by a gloomy period. His fame in the music industry began to fade quickly but he quickly overcome this period of aridity by releasing his album “Rebirth” which was released in 2002. One of the famous single of this album was “One on One” and this single clubbed 75th position in the Billboard Hot 100. His next album is scheduled to be released on 13 may 2008.
