| | Tyrone Davis, by Bill Pollak |
 | | Tyrone Davis was no Hoochie Coochie Man; he was a warm, vulnerable, expressive stylist who enveloped songs in his big, deep baritone and delivered them with passion and finely honed craft. |
 | | At Columbia, Davis made his lushest recordings, the best of which were exquisite ballads such as "In the Mood," "Close to You," and "Heart Failure." After leaving Columbia, Davis and Graham produced a dizzying array of discs on various labels, scoring one major hit with the novelty song "Mom's Apple Pie" (1991). |
 | | Although Davis's first recording for Malaco Records of Jackson, Mississippi ([Simply Tyrone Davis], 1996) was disappointing, there is reason to hope that the last of the great soul labels will be able to energize Davis's career as it has the careers of Z.Z. Hill, Bobby Bland, Johnnie Taylor, Shirley Brown, Little Milton, and many others. |
