Seal

Kiss From A Rose



Seal Samuel (born February 19, 1963) is a British soul vocalist and songwriter. Born Seal Henry Olusegun Olumide Adelo Samuel, in Paddington, England, his parents were Adebisi Samuel, a Nigerian immigrant, and Francis Samuel, an Afro-Brazilian immigrant. A childhood bout of lupus left him with distinctive facial scarring and hair loss. After school, he studied architecture and engineering.

His second album, again self-titled, was released in 1994. A critical success, the album featured the singles "Prayer for the Dying" and "Newborn Friend". A third single, "Kiss From a Rose", performed modestly when released but was later featured in the film Batman Forever which resulted in its worldwide success. It went on to win Grammy Awards for Record of the Year and Song of the Year in 1996 and became Seal's best performing single in the US market. Later he recorded a cover of Steve Miller Band's "Fly Like an Eagle" for the soundtrack of the film "Space Jam".
