- Summary
- R&B singer Tyrone Davis was born on May 4, 1938, in Greenville, Mississippi. In 1952, Davis left the Jim Crow South to join his father in Detroit, Michigan. By 1957, he had settled in Chicago, Illinois and became immersed in the local blues scene. In the late 1960s, having performed in small clubs on Chicago's South Side, Davis began recording original blues tracks for the Four Brothers label. One of those tracks, "Can I Change My Mind?" catapulted him onto the Billboard charts. The song eventually sold more than a million copies and thrust Davis into the limelight. Davis enjoyed a long and successful career as a musician. His work contains more than fifty hit songs including: "Turn Back the Hands of Time", "Turning Pointe", "Give It Up (Turn It Loose)", "Can I Change My Mind?", "In the Mood," "Close to You", and "Heart Failure". Davis passed away on February 9, 2005 at age 67.
