Happy Birthday, Usher! Celebrate With 11 Of His Greatest Love Songs

Usher started off at local singing competitions at the tender age of 12 years old where he caught the eye of a Laface Records A&R, and the rest was history. His classic hit songs like Yeah! and top charting album Confessions earned him a number of accolades. Usher has received countless awards for his stellar achievements in music from Grammys to Billboard awards.

The superstar has achieved such success with his distinct vocals, dance moves and stellar performance. Usher is an all-around talent, who most recently proved nothing has changed beginning his Las Vegas residency over the summer.

The singer and songwriter has collaborated on some of the biggest records like Grammy award-winning hit singles “My Boo” with Alicia Keys and “Yeah!” featuring fellow Atliens, Lil Jon and Ludacris. Usher’s range extends beyond sappy love songs, but those were the songs that stuck with fans forever.
