A major star on television, the big screen, and radio, Jamie Foxx started out as a comedian and went through years of escalating recognition before winning an Oscar for his portrayal of Ray Charles in Ray. Though a 1994 album was something of an underground hit, he didn't really break out as a singer until his guest appearance on Kanye West's "Slow Jamz." The song helped set the stage for his second album, released through J Records at the very end of 2005 -- Unpredictable reached number one and eventually went platinum. ~ Andy Kellman Wikipedia
