Ginuwine
Elgin Baylor Lumpkin (born October 15, 1970), better known by his stage name Ginuwine, is an American singer, songwriter, dancer and actor. Signed to Epic Records since the mid-1990s, Ginuwine had released a number of multi-platinum and platinum-selling albums and singles, becoming one of R&B's top artists during the late 1990s and early 2000s.
Biography
Ginuwine was born on October 15, 1970 in Washington, D.C. He is named after NBA legend Elgin Baylor, who is also a Washington native. In 1993, he graduated from Forestville High School (now known as Forestville Military Academy) in Forestville, Maryland and later graduated from Prince George's Community College in Largo, Maryland with a paralegal associate's degree.
Career
Music
Ginuwine began his career as a member of Swing Mob, a Rochester, New York-based record label and music compound founded by Donald "DeVante Swing" DeGrate, the leader of popular 90's R&B group Jodeci. There, he met rapper Melissa "Missy" Elliott, singer-songwriter Stephen "Static Major" Garrett and producer Timothy "Timbaland" Mosley, who became his main collaborators through the 1990s. After Swing Mob folded, they continued working together on different projects, one of which was Ginuwine's 1996 debut album, titled Ginuwine...The Bachelor. The first single, "Pony", written by Static Major, showcased his smooth vocals and Timbaland's innovative production style, and the two became a hit-making duo. "Pony" peaked at number 6 on the Billboard Hot 100 and was used in a karaoke scene from the film Wild Hogs in 2007. It was used again in the video game Grand Theft Auto IV in 2008. In 2012, "Pony" was featured in a strip tease dance performed by Channing Tatum in the film Magic Mike. Mike Patton and Rahzel together perform a cover of "Pony" during their concerts. Ginuwine covered Prince's "When Doves Cry" single from the movie soundtrack Purple Rain.

Release and reception

Stephen Thomas Erlewine of Allmusic stated that the album included "more inventive productions and a stronger set of songs" than Ginuwine's previous work.

I Apologize
by: Priscilla ReneaAt night I fall asleep
Close my eyes what do I see
Visions of you and me together oh so happily
Why do these sort of things always have to happen to me
I'm steady picturing a love that I know cannot be
My pillows stained with tears of hurt because I know we're through
How did I manage to destroy a love that was so true
I've just been thinking how I'm gon' get you back in my life
Give me a chance and I will make things right
[B-Section:]
Cause you are the one of my dreams
But I guess you can't seee
That I'm stuck on You
Oh you are the one of my dreams
[Chorus:]
For everything I ever did wrong to you in the past
For all the times we tried but we just couldn't make it last
For every tear that ever fell from your eyes
I'm sayin sorry I apologize
I never had nobody love me the way that you did
For me to throw it away like it didn't matter it
Wasn't the brightest I admit it wasn't very wise
I'm sayin sorry I apologize
Memories of your smile are with me to this very day
You made my life worthwhile
Why did I throw it away
How could I think that everything was gonna be okay
If I just let you go
I still remember the way
You used to hold me close said everything would be alright
When I was down and out you helped me make it through the night
I'm lost because I've lost all hope for ever loving you
I'm going crazy I don't know what to do cause...
[B-Section:]
Cause you are the one of my dreams
But I guess you can't seee
That I'm stuck on You
Oh you are the one of my dreams
[Chorus:]
For everything I ever did wrong to you in the past
For all the times we tried but we just couldn't make it last
For every tear that ever fell from your eyes
I'm sayin sorry I apologize
I never had nobody love me the way that you did
For me to throw it away like it didn't matter it
Wasn't the brightest I admit it wasn't very wise
I'm sayin sorry I apologize
[B-Section:]
Cause you are the one of my dreams
But I guess you can't seee
That I'm stuck on You
