Howard Stafford Huntsberry (born March 5, 1952) is an American R&B singer, drummer/percussionist, and actor from Pacoima, California.
In the mid-1970s, he served as drummer and male co-lead vocalist of the one-off project, The Ultimate Music Experience (T.U.M.E.), who released a self-titled album in 1975. In 1981, he became the frontman for the group Klique,[1] a position he held through 1985, when the group released its final album.[2]
In 1988, he released a solo album, With Love, which produced two minor hits on the Billboard R&B chart. He also starred as singer Jackie Wilson in the movie La Bamba,[2] singing a cover of "Lonely Teardrops" which was on the soundtrack album of the same.[1] Incidentally, Klique's biggest hit had also been a cover of a Jackie Wilson song, "Stop Doggin' Me Around".
Paying further tribute to Jackie Wilson, he also performed Wilson's "(Your Love Keeps Lifting Me) Higher and Higher" in Ghostbusters II.
