Memphis soul legend Don Bryant has passed away at 83. A gifted singer and songwriter, Bryant began as a solo artist in the ’60s before becoming a prolific songwriter at Hi Records, penning hits for icons like Solomon Burke, Etta James, and Albert King.

He is perhaps best known for crafting classics for his wife, Ann Peebles, including the Grammy-nominated “I Can’t Stand the Rain.”

After decades supporting Peebles’ career, Bryant returned to the stage as a solo artist in 2017, releasing acclaimed albums Don’t Give Up on Love and You Make Me Feel.

Sorprendentemente Don Bryant retomó su carrera en solitario en 2017 con dos álbumes de rhythm and blues clásico mollares, macizos, publicados por el sello Fat Possum. Primero fue "Don't Give Up on Love" y exactamente en esa misma línea, que retrotraía al mejor soul de los sesenta, "You Make Me Feel" tres años más tarde, 2020. "Your Love Is Too Late" es del segundo, "I Got to Know", del primero.

Aunque Don Bryant fue más conocido como compositor, también publicó música bajo su nombre, comenzando con su álbum de 1969 «Precious Soul», un LP de versiones sin mucha historia, correcto sin más.

Fue su trabajo creando temas para otros artistas como Etta James, Solomon Burke y Albert King con el que causó mayor impacto. Y, por supuesto, para Ann Peebles, "I´m Gonna Tear Your Playhouse Down" es otro serio temazo de su cuarto álbum "I Can't Stand the Rain" (Hi, 1974) considerado la obra maestra de la cantante de St. Louis.

Más bajas, para el rhythm and blues en concreto. El veterano músico y compositor de soul de Memphis, Don Bryant, ha fallecido a los 83 años.

Bryant será principalmente recordado por su trabajo junto a la cantante Ann Peebles, como coautor de su éxito atemporal de 1973, «I Can’t Stand The Rain», que alcanzó el puesto 38 en las listas USA y John Lennon calificó como «mejor canción del año». Otro tipo de "chic", norteamericano y negro setentero. El tema conoció numerosas versiones: Humble Pie, Ronnie Wood, Lowell George y Tina Turner, entre otros, la hicieron suya.

DON BRYANT (1943-Died Boxing Day,December 26th 2025,at 83). American rhythm and blues singer and songwriter.In 1960, the still teenage Bryant was offered a shot at songwriting, penning "I Got To Know" for The 5 Royales. He wrote material for other artists at Hi Records while continuing to record with The Four Kings and as a solo artist, resulting in a 1969 solo album. However, with the success of Al Green, Otis Clay, and other vocalists at Hi, Bryant's singing career took a backseat to writing, joining Earl Randle, Dan Greer, and Darryl Carter as Hi's top staff writers. Bryant is credited on as many as 154 titles.

By 1970, Willie Mitchell had begun to pair Bryant with his newest act, a young Ann Peebles, for whom he wrote "99 Pounds" and "Do I Need You." The pair co-wrote the Top 40 hit "I Can't Stand the Rain" in 1973, and were married the following year.[3] Bryant spent much of the subsequent decade writing and opening for Peebles, with his final Hi single coming in 1981, a duet with his wife called "Mon Belle-Amour".[3]

Bryant focused mainly on gospel albums throughout the 1980s and 1990s, and ultimately stopped performing altogether outside of church services.Don Bryant (songwriter) - Wikipedia
