A couple days ago I posted about hearing a breathy, airy male singer in the grocery store in the early 90s. It was Aaron Neville. I even replied to a suggestion of Aaron Neville that that was the closest it sounded like to what i was looking for. All the while it was him! I think the issue i was having was when I googled him it talked about a hit he had in the 60s so I thought he was an older singer. Also the song i was looking for eas not on his spotify page. The song i was remembering was Don't Know Much by Linda Ronstadt ft. Aaron Neville. It took me having to watch 90s love cd compilations on YouTube to find the song.

Thanks again everyone for your help and suggestions. I did hear a lot of great songs i hadn't heard in a long time so it was a fun trip down memory lane.

I apologize in advance that this is going to be so vague but I have memories of being a child in grocery stores with my dad and there was always an artist they would play and I can never find them so I thought I'd try here. The best way to describe it is it would probably be considered soft rock (that might even be a stretch), and he had a higher, airy voice. I always have people suggest Christopher Cross but I'm petty sure that's not who I'm looking for even though it's similar. Anyone want to take s shot in the dark at this one? Thanks!

Edit: Thanks for all the suggestions so far but still haven't found what I'm looking for (no it wasn't U2). Im also keeping up with a newborn along with this post so sorry if I fall out and can't answer for awhile. I've apparently made someone real upset by not including my country but he was correct, I'm in America. Lol This also took place in the early 90s , probably between 1992-1995. So far aaron Neville has been the closest with his quick, breathy singing style he has in some of his songs (not sure what that style/technique is called)

Edit 2: listening to Aaron Neville brought back more of the sound of the voice to me. Big emphasis on the quick, breathy singing style, almost comical sounding to me when I was younger hearing it. It was a higher pitched voice too. I would hear these songs being played in a save mart or Albertsons in central California. I'm listening to all the suggestions, still no luck but I'm hearing some good stuff i haven't heard in a long time. Thanks again for all the suggestions so far.

Edit 3: im trying to update with anymore details that come to mind. I don't know what years this guy was actively producing music, just that it was being played in the early 90s in grocery stores, but it definitely had a late 80s/ early 90s sound to it.

Edit 4: dang this post got a lot of replies. I've got alot of suggestions to listen to tonight. I'm sorry but i can't reply to each one but I see you all and appreciate all of your suggestions to help me find this singer. I will post an update if I ever find them.
