An extremely talented vocalist raised in the gospel tradition, Donnie Tatem has become one of the most popular singers in the Philly Soul tradition. Tatem began his recording career as a member of the group Gentlemen Of Leisure that recorded the single "Never Had A Love Like This Before" in 1980. He can also be heard on the movie score of "The Fish That Saved Pittsburgh" on Lorimar Records in 1979. In 1981, Donnie joined the legendary acappella gospel group "The Stars Of Harmony" based out of Woodbury, New Jersey. In 1995, Tatem scored the lead role in the off-Broadway production "If Only For You" in Atlantic City and continued touring as a solo gospel artist until 2008 when he joined TRU with singers James "Jimi" Williams and Primo Wansley. The group attracted the attention of legendary Philly soul producer Butch Ingram and recorded the critically acclaimed album My Love Is TRU in 2010 on Society Hill Records, to which Donnie contributed the songs "Night & Day Dreams" and "Who Do You See When You Look At Me?." Since then, Donnie has become an invaluable performer on many of the Society Hill sessions that Butch Ingram produces and issued his solo debut, the critically acclaimed "Ain't No Love" on the label, which further cemented his status as a songwriter and lead vocalist who many consider the "cream of the crop." The album featured Tatem's brilliant version of Angela Bofill's 1983 soul-disco classic "Tonight I Give In." Producer Butch Ingram presents an adventurous fresh remix of the track which now includes newly recorded background vocals by the current members of TRU - adding yet another cherry to the top of the cake.
