Peabo was the legendary voice behind the Oscar-winning Disney classics "Beauty and the Beast" and "A Whole New World" ... and both of his theme songs won Grammy Awards.
Reports say the singer died Tuesday at 5 PM "surrounded by the love of his family and those closest to him."
Peabo's best known for his soulful ballets and duets ... his 1991 collab with Celine Dion from "Beauty and the Beast" was a huge hit.
The following year, Peabo and Regina Belle worked on "A Whole New World" for Disney's "Aladdin"; the song reached the top of the Billboard Hot 100, the first song from an animated film to do so.
Other notable Peabo hits:
- "Can You Stop the Rain,"
- "Tonight, I Celebrate My Love,"
- "Feel the Fire" and
- "If Ever You're in My Arms Again."
