Calvin Richardson (born in Monroe, North Carolina) is an American R&B and soul singer-songwriter. In 1999 he released his debut solo album Country Boy.

Background

Richardson was signed to Tommy Boy Records in the early '90s. He was the lead singer of the R&B group Undacova, whose song "Love Slave" appeared on the soundtrack to the 1995 film New Jersey Drive. An album by the group never surfaced.

In the mid-'90s Richardson went solo and signed with Uptown Records/Universal Records. His debut album, Country Boy, was released on August 24, 1999, selling 100,000 units. Due to poor sales, he was dropped by Universal. Shortly thereafter, he signed a contract with Hollywood Records.
