Peabo was the legendary voice behind the Oscar-winning Disney classics “Beauty and the Beast” and “A Whole New World” … and both of his theme songs won Grammy Awards.<\/p>\n

We’re told the singer died Tuesday at 5 PM “surrounded by the love of his family and those closest to him.”<\/p>\n

Peabo’s best known for his soulful ballets and duets … his 1991 collab with Celine Dion<\/a> from “Beauty and the Beast” was a huge hit. The following year, Peabo and Regina Belle worked on “A Whole New World” for Disney’s “Aladdin” … the song reached the top of the Billboard Hot 100, the first song from an animated film to do so.<\/p>\n

The last time we got Peabo was in 2019 at LAX … when we chopped it up with him about Walt Disney’s influence and Disney stock.<\/p>\n

Other notable Peabo hits … “Can You Stop the Rain,” “Tonight, I Celebrate My Love,” “Feel the Fire” and “If Ever You’re in My Arms Again.”<\/p>\n

Peabo is survived his wife, Tanya Boniface Bryson, their son, Robert, his daughter, Linda Bryson, and his three grandkids.<\/p>\n
