The home going services of legendary R&B singer and songwriter Peabo Bryson are taking place today at a private, invite-only Celebration of Life at Antioch Baptist Church in northwest Atlanta.
According to the family, the service will feature musical tributes from Grammy Award-winning singer Regina Belle, Grammy Award-winning gospel artist BeBe Winans and Grammy-nominated recording artist Ruben Studdard.
The service is not open to the public, but it will be livestreamed to allow fans around the world an opportunity to celebrate the singer's life and contributions to music. Also, in lieu of flowers, the family is asking supporters to make memorial donations to the Mr. Robert "Peabo" Bryson Student Scholarship Endowment Fund at Morris Brown College or Antioch Urban Ministries.
Bryson was a two-time Grammy award winner whose career spanned decades. He's most know for various pop hits and acclaimed duets, including collaborations with Regina Belle, Roberta Flack and Celine Dion. His distinctive voice shaped a generation with powerful Disney ballads "Beauty and the Beast" and "A Whole New World."
Peabo Bryson was 75 years old.
