Now, some 30 years later, the R&B singer will perform in his first Super Bowl halftime show.
“He is one of the greatest displays of showmanship that we have ever seen,” Nicolas-Tyrell Scott, a London-based music critic, told CNN.
His debut album — “Usher,” released in 1994 — barely caught the media’s attention.
Musician Usher (aka Usher Raymond IV) records vocals for the song "U Will Know" on July 26, 1994 in New York City.
“He is the heartthrob of R&B,” Scott said.
