    I'm grateful that I'm old enough that I can appreciate what a legend this guy is. This is major. Some people just came in on the whole Bobby Shmurda part of his career. So I understand thats a big concern for the right now people. But those who's life moments that were backed by the soundtrack produced by this guy know and get what I'm saying. We lived something special that will never happen again that way

    L.A. Reid ran Arista Records from 2000 to 2004 when he got fired after the release of Outkast's Speakerboxxx/The Love Below record. After that, Arista was folded with Jive. Did you know that Clive Davis was fired from Arista before Reid stepped up as a new CEO??

    The Babyface/LA thing was so powerful in the late 80s/early to mid 90s....a very pioneering force. Fans can always recognize that sound that came from great writing and production (Babyface's "Tender Lover" album, his duet with Pebbles, even some of Pebbles solo work (her ballads from 2nd album REALLY have that Tender Lover sound). I just hope that all involved are getting the royalties and $$$ they deserve. How many uploads are there on RUclips of "Love Makes Things Happen"? I would venture to guess some people are making money off of it that shouldn't be. Someone should look into it.
