Seal
Remembered mostly for his mega-hit love song “Kiss From a Rose” that was featured on the soundtrack to the movie Batman Forever, Seal has had several soul and dance hits in his native U.K. and worldwide. Born Seal Henry Olusegun Olumide Adeola Samuel in England to Nigerian and African-Brazilian immigrant parents, he battled lupus as a child, leaving him bald and with permanent facial scarring. In recent years, he has become best known for his marriage to supermodel Heidi Klum. Seal has apparently always had a thing for German supermodels. After a long relationship with Tatjana Patitz, he dated Heidi Klum, marrying her in May 2005. The couple have two children together, and Klum has another from a previous relationship. Although his biggest hits came early in his career with the singles “Crazy,” “Killer” (both off of Seal), “Prayer for the Dying,” “Don’t Cry” (both off of Seal II), and “Kiss from a Rose” (off the Batman Forever soundtrack), his fourth album Seal IV was moderately successful without achieving any big hits. In 2007, Seal released System, featuring the single "Amazing" which was nominated for a 2007 "Best Male Pop Vocal Performance" Grammy.
