Well, I personally know one of the producers of Elliott Yamin’s first album and got a chance to meet the kid.
Nice kid, down to earth and doesn’t forget where he came from (he’s handicapped with diabetes and one bad ear he told me). And oh yeah, he’s got a great voice !
Well, I don’t want to dump on the guy, but when people are really talking about unmarketable, we’re talking about Yamin, but AI has often had a lot of guys that I have trouble hearing outside of something as light as AC, not even Hot AC. Not saying he’s bad, just that the only radio formats for him would be AC.
