About the Artist
Michael B. Sutton has over two decades of seasoned experience in the music industry, including seven years as a staff producer and writer for Motown Records. A Stevie Wonder discovery, Mr. Sutton drew the attention of many talented artists at Motown for his genius as a musician, lyricist and composer. Over the years, Mr. Sutton has composed and produced music for Michael Jackson, Smokey Robinson, Diana Ross, Dionne Warwick, Anita Pointer and Pat Boone to name a few. Mr. Sutton’s contribution to the Disco era was substantial. Michael’s songs, performed by the duo Michael and Brenda Sutton, proved to be some of Disco’s most successful and timeless hits. The hot dance singles Down to love Town, Grip My Hips and Cheryl Lynn’s Shake It Up Tonight could be heard from every club coast to coast. In 1987, he founded Mibren Music, a successful publishing company.
To his credit Mr. Sutton has written, produced and scored over 300 songs for major artists as well as for film and television. Some of these accomplishments include the following: The album, Any Way You Like It for Thelma Houston which went gold, the album Switch which went Platinum, the movie score for One False Move, the title song, We’ll make It for the Channel 4 documentary Oasis Of Hope, the title song for the cable TV series Passion And Romance, ESPN’s Body Shaping and Co-Ed Training, the theme songs for the HBO movies Black Belt, Dance with Death, Guilty As Charged, Watchers 2, Showtime’s Black Scorpion and the production and performance for the HBO/Cinemax TV series Emmanuelle In Space.
Currently, Michael has just finished his own CD Hopeless Romantic. This album is a passionate blend of blues, quixotic love ballads and true get-down dance tracks. His vocal qualities have been compared to Marvin, Smokey and Luther, while still maintaining his own style, known as the "velvet voice." In addition, Mr. Sutton has completed writing and producing the moving Gospel CD The Turner Family "We Have A Song To Sing" Lastly, Mr. Sutton’s versatility is reflected in his having written and scored the play Right Smart Of Love Country Cooking Show.
Michael B. Sutton is well known in the industry for his personable nature, his honesty, integrity, professionalism and attention to detail. His tenure as a member of ASCAP for over twenty years has earned him the reputation of being a premier artist, composer and producer.

This review is from: Hopeless Romantic (Audio CD)
It's the right time for singer/songwriter Michael B. Sutton to release his first solo project, and it's the right project, too...a sensual...sometimes naughty...journey into romance and erotica. The first radio single, "Body Music," sets the right mood, with all the qualities a hit should have...great hook, compelling performance, smooth groove. All of the other original tunes on HOPELESSLY ROMANTIC are equally hit-quality, and well they should be. Mr. Sutton spent seven years as a writer/producer for Motown Records, composing hits for the likes of Smokey Robinson, Michael Jackson, and Thelma Houston, among others. He was also half of the R&B duo "The Suttons," aka "Mike & Brenda" in the 80's. Michael's voice is soft and persuasive, and reminds me in many ways of Smokey himself. He gently caresses the lyrics, conveying the romance and passion of his words. Besides the new single, I'm especially drawn to the ultra-sensual "Do That To Me," "Sweet Surrender," "Nobody," and the Latin-flavored duet with Tata Vega, "Lovers Serenade." The beauty and positive vibe of HOPELESS ROMANTIC are especially gratifying in light of Michael's struggles over the past several years. Diagnosed with "limited agoraphobia" in the 80's, he's courageously fought back from emotionally crippling anxiety attacks with the help of his therapist, family, and friends. HOPELESS ROMANTIC is truly a celebration not only of love, but of personal recovery and victory. I salute Michael B. Sutton's personal successes, and highly recommend this excellent CD for your collection! ~SCOTT O'BRIEN
