Background
Elgin Baylor Lumpkin aka Ginuwine was born in Washington, D.C., on October 15, 1970 to parents Sandra Lumpkin and James II Lumpkin who are both deceased (MTV). Music was at the center of his heart from an early age after being inspired by Prince and Michael Jackson. At the age of 12 he was already performing at parties and local bars. His major breakthrough came when he joined forces with Producer Timbaland and went on to release his first album Ginuwine, the Bachelor in 1996 (MTV). Since then he went on to release many more albums with one of the being I apologize. Ginuwine is married to Tonya Lumpkin, who is also an artist and goes by the name Sole. Together they have eight children (MTV). Ginuwine recently formed a group named TGT made up of Tank, Ginuwine and Tyrese and they have released and album entitled Three Kings (Essence).
Sales
After its release on February 13, 2007, the album I Apologize was distributed to the stores for sale but soon after that there was a dispute regarding the copyright of the eight track (AllMusic). Apparently the CD had only three songs attributed to Ginuwine and the rest were by other undisclosed artists. It was therefore not an official release and official sales have not been concluded as this was an unauthorized album (AllMusic).
