CeCe Rogers (born Kenneth Jesse Rogers III, April 30, 1962),[1] is an American singer, songwriter and record producer from Cleveland, Ohio.[2]

He was given the nickname CeCe by James Brown, who watched him performing at 11 years of age, imitating Chubby Checker.[2][3] He is considered one of the most popular male vocalists in house music. In 1987, he recorded the track "Someday" in collaboration with Marshall Jefferson, an anthem of house music, having been rated number 3 in Mixmag's 100 Greatest Singles of All Time.

His track "All Join Hands" became popular in 1991, after Laurent Garnier began to mix it with Pulsation's "Transpulsation".[citation needed]
