Brian McKnight - "Back At One"

When John Legend burst onto the scene in the mid-2000s, a woman I worked with named Phyllis told me that she thought he had the worst voice she'd ever heard.  Never shy of sharing her opinion, Phyllis also accused him of moaning and not actually singing.  I immediately took to John Legend and his voice despite his sometimes moaning-slash-singing.  I'll compare Phyllis' take on John Legend with Brian McKnight's "Back At One".  This song dominated all radio charts at the end of 1999, yet I cringed every time I heard it.
