R&B singer James Ingram has passed away at the age of 66. Ingram has been suffering from brain cancer and he lost his battle with it. Ingram is best for some chart topping hits like “Yah Mo B There” with Michael McDonald, “Somewhere Out There” with Linda Ronstadt, “Better Way” from Beverly Hills Cop II, “100 Ways” and “Just Once.” His soulful singing voice will be missed, especially in the movies where he was on so many soundtracks.
