babyface - s/d

Top 5:

Babyface "Whip Appeal"
TLC "Red Light Special"
Bobby Brown "Roni"
The Deele "Two Occasions"
Brandy "Sittin' Up in My Room"

Oh yeah and Mary J. Blige's "Not Gon' Cry." And his new album is great. His work with Eric Clapton is not, so d that.

if i was to buy one long-player, either babyface solo, or totally/mostly babyface-produced, what should i go for? babyface albums opo.

His best album (of his own), song-for-song is his most recent, Grown & Sexy. But taking his career into consideration, it's not so essential.

That said, if I had to pick a Babyface-driven album, it'd be the Waiting To Exhale soundtrack, maybe his last career peak before being deemed irrelevant by the masses.

God, I forgot how awesome "It's No Crime" is; it even sounds a bit like Duran Duran's "I Don't Want Your Love."

he had some good songs that the neptunes wrote on his last (?) album. shame he wasnt really writing the hits himself anymore but id take face over any other latter day producer-artists.

Also: Babyface >>>>>>>>>>>>>>> R. Kelly.

apparently Babyface & Toni Braxton's Love, Marriage & Divorce was a huge hit in South Africa, went to #1 and sold 2.8 million copies, more than Beyonce or a lot of other international stars. nice that it found the audience it didn't really have in the U.S.

:D

whaaaat that number sounds way too high. i am glad it did well tho

it's on wikipedia, but the same entry also says the album sold 1.5 million in the U.S., which is totally not true, so that may be an inflation.

the album IS #4 on South Africa's iTunes store though, like right now, a year and a half after its release, so it's definitely inordinately popular there: http://www.apple.com/za/itunes/charts/albums/

On the evidence, this man was a genius.
