Wendell B. delivers a sensuous sound with his music, telling nothing but the truth in his lyrics, while filling your soul with some kinda feeling. Wendell B.’s deep, rich, variable baritone voice
has Southern Soul fans rock- ing to his songs.
Being compared to his idols, Luther Vandross, Will Downing and Barry White don’t bother this laid- back brother because Wen- dell B. vows to spread love through song to all of his au- diences. Wendell B. says, “fans deserve the best and I plan to give them the best. There’s a saying in the Bible ‘What comes from the heart reaches the heart’ and my goal is to touch everyone’s heart with MY LOVE SONGS!”
