He is best known for the 1990s hits "[[Touch Me, Tease Me]]", "[[Happily Ever After (song)\|Happily Ever After]]" and "[[The Best Man I Can Be]]" with [[Ginuwine]], [[R.L. Huggar\|R.L.]] and [[Tyrese Gibson\|Tyrese]], as well as the early 2000s hits "[[Missing You (Case song)\|Missing You]]" and "[[Livin' It Up (Ja Rule song)\|Livin' It Up]]" with [[Ja Rule]]. The latter two earned him two [[Grammy Award]] nominations. ==Music career== After stints with R&B group 'Future' and a duo called 'Black', Case got work co-writing and singing background for artists including [[Usher (entertainer)\|Usher]], [[Christopher Williams (singer)\|Christopher Williams]] and Al B. Sure. Armed with a song written by [[Faith Evans]], Case was discovered by [[Russell Simmons]] who signed him to Def Jam Records. Case's solo career took off in 1996 with the release of "[[Touch Me, Tease Me]]" featuring a then up-and-coming rapper [[Foxy Brown (rapper)\|Foxy Brown]] and R&B singer [[Mary J. Blige]] from ''[[The Nutty Professor (1996 film)\|The Nutty Professor]]'' soundtrack, going gold and reaching #4 on the [[Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs\|R&B Songs]] chart and #14 on the [[Billboard Hot 100\|USU.S. ''Billboard'' Hot 100]] chart. It also found success across globally, becoming a top 40 hit in the UK, where it reached the twenty-sixth position on the [[UK Singles Chart]]. Featuring songwriting and production from the likes of [[Mary J. Blige]], [[Faith Evans]] and Case himself, Case's [[Case (album)\|self-titled album]] was released by [[Def Jam Records]] in August 1996. Despite the huge success of "Touch Me, Tease Me", the album performed moderately on the ''Billboard'' charts. It peaked at number 42 on the [[Billboard 200\|''Billboard'' 200]] album chart, and reached the top 7 on the [[Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums\|R&B Albums]] chart as well. In a ''Finding'' interview with [[BET]] that premiered in January 2020, Case dismissed the album as one of his favorites. He later recounted that bad business deals and inexperience being a new artist at the time, as well as not having as much creative input on the album, caused his overall dislike for the album. It took nearly three years for Case to record a follow-up album. Case followed the success of his first album with the release of ''Personal Conversation'' in April 1999. The album featured the hits "[[Happily Ever After (song)\|Happily Ever After]]" (which reached #3 on the R&B charts and #15 on the Hot 100) and "Faded Pictures", which featured R&B singer [[Joe (singer)\|Joe]] and reached #3 on the R&B charts and #10 on the Hot 100. "Happily Ever After" featured a then 17-year old [[Beyoncé Knowles\|Beyoncé]] in the video as Case's love interest. The album's third single, "Think Of You" failed to do well, managing to only reach #50 on the R&B charts. ''Personal Conversation'' achieved gold status.
