Phil Perry Biography
Phil Perry is one of the most popular and richest R&B Singer who was born on January 12, 1952 in Springfield, Illinois, United States. Singer and songwriter with the R&B music group The Montclairs from 1971 to 1975.
He has been featured as a vocalist on tracks by artists like Bobby Womack.
Discovered by Catholic nuns while singing high masses in his Catholic Church (St. Elizabeth in East St. Louis), and a high-school talent show favorite, Phil Perry wrote and recorded his first single “Hey You” with The Montclairs, who were also based in East St. Louis. They were signed to the Archway Records label just before Perry turned 17 years old in 1969. The song is considered to be the first of a classic soul collection of Perry ‘Old School’ singles popular in the 1970s.
In 1972, The Montclairs recorded for Paula Records with minor soul ballads that included “Dreaming’s out of Season,” “Prelude to a Heartbreak,” and “Begging’s Hard to Do.” The Montclairs left Paula Records and disbanded in 1975. Perry then moved to California with former Montclair Kevin Sanlin, recording as a duo, resulting in two albums at Capitol Records in the early 1980s that were produced by Chuck Jackson and Dr. Cecil Hale. One song, “Just to Make You Happy,” had a respectable level of success in radio.
He married singer Lillian “Tang” Tynes in 1976.

On September 11, 2001, Perry was scheduled to perform at the World Trade Center’s lunch-hour jazz concert series between 11 a.m. and 1 p.m. As fate would have it, he was spared from the devastation of the terrorist attacks on the Twin Towers. However, for the next few years, he sank into an artistic depression, and did not record again until invited by longtime friend Don Grusin, who he joined in September 2003 for a collaborative venture titled “The Hang.” This CD/DVD project was nominated for a Grammy Award, and included Dave Grusin, Harvey Mason, Patti Austin, Natali Renee, Abraham Laboriel, Alex Acuna, Ernie Watts, Lee Ritenour, and others.
In 2006, former co-producer of the Magic album, Chris “Big Dog” Davis, urged Perry to record a collection of R&B hits titled Classic Love Songs as an independent one-off project for Shanachie Records. Since that time, Perry has recorded four projects for that label with Davis, including a project with Melba Moore. In 2007 he reunited with Dave Koz and toured the country. The same year, he released the album “Mighty Love,” for which he was voted the 2007 Male Vocalist of the Year in the SoulTracks Readers’ Choice Awards. In 2008, Perry recorded a duet album with Tony Award-winning vocalist Melba Moore titled “The Gift of Love.” It was awarded the Duo Album of the Year Award in the SoulTracks Readers Choice Awards.
