here's a comparison i never thought about. but babyface vs. prince :hmm:

[I love Latina women]

now

i know, i know prince had an impeccable run in the 80's with a string of innovative albums and while babyface didn't crank out albums like prince did in the 80's, the amount of great songs he's written for others while puttin' out a few great albums of his own i think is worthy of a comparison

so who would say is the better singer, songwriter and producer?

Babyface by landslide...

Can We Talk
End of the Road
Breathe Again
Superwoman
Change The World (Eric Clapton; produced and background vocals)
Waiting To Exhale Soundtrack
Unprecedented Producer of the Year 3 wins in a row. 96-98.

To name a few. He was The Neptunes before The Neptunes.

yeah, i think in terms of music as a whole, like all the songs these guys have written and produced, it's a reasonable comparison

people forget just how great of a songwriter/producer babyface was

can't forget about the soundtrack for boomerang and waiting to exhale. oh yeah, soul food too

shyt, i wish face would've actually done a whole milestone album. all we ever got was this 1 classic song

k-ci's vocals on this were unbelievable

That's the 90s. He had hits in the 80s.
The Whispers' Rock Steady
Paula Abdul
Play Another Slow Jam (Co-wrote)
Two Occasions
The Jacksons, etc.

I'm a bigger fan of 90s run though.

Alicia damn near came talkin about the man's music


And the innovator of cool himself tipped his hat to him

Prince is big for peer musicians. Ironic, he didn't get into scoring more. That's the biggest test. Scoring not making music for the soundtrack.

gotdamn, bruh. you a real babyface fan; preach

lotta people forget, babyface use to play in bootsy's band too

can't forget about his writin/production for bobby brown's "don't be cruel" album which was larger than life in the 80's! his work on whitney's "i'm your baby tonight" (early 90) sheen easton's "the lover in me" too

but yeah, then once the 90's hit, he was a hit makin' machine to the 20th power; he was writin' for a who's who of artists and we talkin' bout powerful hits. hits that helped define an era in time!

can't forget about his production on the bodyguard soundtrack too

I'm a Stan. Babyface is literally a god in the flesh. He's left-handed.

Who needs an appreciation thread is Norman Whitfield. He birthed the Teddy Rileys, DeVante Swings and The Neptunes and Timbalands, respectively. Unlike a Quincy Jones, Babyface and Pharrell, Norman was known to be a dikk and didn't value relationships or wanted to concede power. If he worked with more artists outside of Motown and his label, he'd be a properly heralded legend.

But when your music is a score in itself..
