This was the second time he was with the Deele. The first time they had a hit song called Sweet November. He quit them and had his first solo album, Lovers. He then rejoined them and made this song. Then he quit again and had a second solo album call tenderlover that put him on the map
This is a beautiful song by 🎵 The Deele! There is a reason why we love Babyface! He is gifted, talented and extraordinary! A great songwriter! Singer! Great reaction by Ashley and thank 🙏🏼💟💚🩵💜🩷💛you to the lovely person who requested it! 👍🏽👍🏽👏👏❤️❤️😎😎🔥🔥🔥🎶🎶🎶🎵🎵⭐️⭐️Peace, Love and Blessings to the AR SQUAD! As Ashley would say “WE ARE LIT 🔥 OVER HERE!” 😎😎😎😎😎
A little biographical info: Kenneth 'Babyface' Edmonds got his first hit when he co-wrote Slow Jam back in 1983 for SOLAR Records artist Midnight Star (a song you reacted to some time ago BTW). SOLAR was also the same label that the Deele was signed to at the time. Edmonds was later given his nickname backstage at a show, when legendary Funk musician Bootsy Collins jokingly exclaimed that Edmonds had a 'baby-face'. The name stuck, and the rest is history. Love your reactions BTW Ashley, keep them coming.
Absolutely its Baby face on the hook Those SMOOTH leads are Darnell Bristol and Carlos "Satin" Greene I'm going to send this to Mr. Greene. Im sure he will enjoy your reaction.
Yes, Babyface, & L.A. Reid on drums. Can’t go just by look, go by voice too, it’s unmistakable. They became the production team that brought the group, TLC to the world, & produced many hits for many artists before going their own ways. Fun Fact: If you check an interview with Bruno Mars & Anderson Paak of Silk Sonic, you can hear that the legendary bassist funk master Bootsy Collins not only named the band Silk Sonic, but he also named Baby Face, whose real name is Kenny Edmonds. Soon as Bootsy saw him in studio he said, ‘Yo whas up Babyface?’ 😅 Rest is history.
Yep, quiet storm radio music. The Deele had some smooth jams. But if you have time can you react to The Deele "Shoot 'em Movie" my fav from them. ty for this reaction brings back
The third guy in After 7 isn't his cousin. When the group first came out, they said he was LA's cousin, but that was false as well. Don't know why they felt the need for that fiction lol.
And yes, it’s Babyface. Kenneth “Babyface” Edmonds. His brothers formed the group “After 7”, with an awesome hit “Nights Like This” (I wish Raindrops Would Fall)
"Two Occasions" was from 1987 37 years ago, those guys was young, face was about 28 people do age overtime and there's no time in videos Soon as I Get Home 1989 "Whip Appeal" 1990
@clintongray5065 yes, Babyface is often overlooked, but he's taken so many careers to the next level from Toni Braxton, Tevin Campbell, Bobby Brown, Boyz ll Men, Karen White and so many more
You read my mind.. I was just getting ready to request this and bam here we go.. this is a true love song,, it means alot to me, 1st time I fell in love, this was Our song ❤This song is timeless, just gets better, like the finest wine ❤
Yes that is Kenneth Babyface Edmonds. This was His second time with the Deele. The first time he was with the Deele, They had a hit song called Sweet November. Babyface left the group then and had his first solo album called Lovers (check out the title song you would not be disappointed!). He then rejoined the Deele and made this song and another song called shoot 'em up movies. He left the group once and for all and went solo for his second album called Tender Lover. The album blew him up as a solo artist Nationwide. He never looked back since. He started out as a songwriter. This first hit songs He wrote for midnight Star called play another slow jam. Dick Griffey the owner of solar records, asked Babyface to join the Deele, which was already an established band but they were struggling. When he joined the group they had their first hit. So no he didn't create that group but he sure enough became the main focus. Also he was in a group before them called manchild
Face on piano and vocals LA on drums, LA and Babyface also formed a record company LaFace Records they also wrote and produced super legends super famous super rich😊
Babyface did the majority of the writing, while LA handled the business side. It all came to light when he wouldn't lie in court about the bad deal LA had signed Toni Braxton to. They went their separate ways shortly after.
Yes, Babyface and LA Reid were with the group The Deele before they hit big as producers and Babyface as a solo artist. They have some good ballads, "Just My Luck", "Shoot Em Up Movies", "I'll Send You Roses" and "Sweet November"
Lol yes mama that is infact babyface! Also la reid is there too and this is how we got la and babyface later. This was his comming out song! This really when the world first heard him
They’re a super talented family, if you haven’t checked them out already Babyface has 2 brothers that were lead singers in the group After 7. “Ready Or Not” is an all time classic.
Yes ma'am, that was Babyface, and the dark skinned guy with the curly hair is L.A. Reid, who played drums and percussion for the Deele, the band they started out with in the 80s. They had a few hits back then.
Ashley, Funkateer Icon (Bootsy Collins) walked into the room of The Deele and upon laying eyes on a young "Kenny Edmonds" he blurted out "O' Babyface!!". Originally Kenny didn't like the gesture until he notice at their concerts that everyone in the group had a nickname & recieved screams from the ladies but "Kenny" was basic and didn't get the screams, so the next night he was introduced as "Babyface" and the ladies went CRAZY! So needless to say, the name stuck. lol Incidently, that same Bootsy Collins gave "Silk Sonic" their name as well. Ashley, Bootsy could have named you "Babyface" too! ...'cause I know you think you grown even though you ain't but 14/15 years old! 😮 (👶🏾🍼)
That is indeed the great Kenny Babyface Edmonds. LA Reid on drums. They created some of the greatest hits for two generations as songwriter/production team. ( End of Road, I'll Make Love to You - Boyz II Men, TLC Redlight District, Slow Jam, Whitney Houston's, hits on the Waiting to Exhale sound track to name a few but thier catalog is deep and full of Grammy winning music.
Kenneth "Babyface" Edmonds and L.A. Reid (on drums) were in the Deele...before they started LaFace Records and Babyface became a huge solo artist. I love this song, the hook is so clever (1987). You can also catch The Deele in Pebbles video for her hit, "Girlfriend"! Pebbles went on the marry L.A. Reid but they are divorced now! I love Babyface's voice! 💖💖
That was my favorite song me and my brother did the song in my sister's wedding my family has a musical background that's what I think every man should say to his Queen that's what I say but I have to find a queen
Thee one and only and great maestro "BABYFACE" crazy how even back then when Babyface was young and getting his feet wet in the music business, we all knew he was going to be special...
Man you're so young😂😂😂 first thing first I love me some Ashanti, love me some Plies, i have Ashanti's Greatest Hits... I have one of Plies CDs from probably 15-20 years ago but they had no business touching this classic
Yes of course that is Babyface with now producer LA Reid. My favorite down tempo by Babyface after this is his great "I Love You Babe" which few people react to though it was big hit on the R&B charts. Give it a listen.
Yes that's a young Babyface....its a classic...that should not have been redone/remixed by Ashanti and Plies...🤣🤣🤣But Im going to let them make it...this time..LOLOLOL Jkjk👀 "I'd go for broke if I could be with you...." (love that line as well) 🎵🎹🎶
The lyrics was heart ❤️ felt and simplicix and they simply don't sing to the person they love like this anymore 😢 ... Babyface and the Deele serinaded the women like no other throughout the 80's decade and nothing today can compare,not in my book 📖 anyway cause most these new artists basically undress a woman in each and every song they record today and I guess that is these new millennials version of Love ????!! 😅😂
No he did not start this group. They were already established but were struggling. Dick Griffey the owner of solar records asked them to put baby face into the group. That's when they started having hit songs. The first hit song was called Sweet November which the group Troop remade. He then left the group the first time and did his first solo album Lovers. Check it out It's a badass album that a lot of people don't know about. He then rejoined the Deele And they made this song two occasions. He left them once and for all and had the second album Tender lover which was a smash hit and he never looked back
Ashley do you remember the R&B group “Next” or “Rated Next” ? They sang the song “Too Close” They sampled Two Occasions for their song “I Still Love You” 🔥🔥🔥🔥
👍BabyFace🫠😎❤ oh man sooo many nights list to the Quiet Storm & Kenny Edmonds & Get Here by Oleta Adams my 2 favorites...but them ruined my expectations for wondering why I was getting love, at least expressed, this way 🫣
That's when Baby Face was in a group before he went solo
This was the second time he was with the Deele. The first time they had a hit song called Sweet November. He quit them and had his first solo album, Lovers. He then rejoined them and made this song. Then he quit again and had a second solo album call tenderlover that put him on the map
Yeah we know that
Check out the Whispers version of this song Two occasions.
And LA Reid
Two of the members were indeed Babyface and LA Reid
Also Melvin Riley he did a solo project it was a cute time
Don’t worry about your eyes, young lady, trust your ears. Babyface all day. Smile
Yes, that is Babyface. This song is even better with the LIVE version. Babyface absolutely kills it!
Another Babyface Masterpiece ❤
The Deele were so phenomenal! I absolutely loved this song the first time I heard and that’s definitely Baby Face!!!

Childhood memories. They recorded this while they were in my hometown of Cincinnati. Great slow jam.
Absolutely its Baby face on the hook
Those SMOOTH leads are Darnell Bristol and
Carlos "Satin" Greene
I'm going to send this to Mr. Greene. Im sure he will enjoy your reaction.
Can’t mistake that voice
Yes, Babyface, & L.A. Reid on drums. Can’t go just by look, go by voice too, it’s unmistakable. They became the production team that brought the group, TLC to the world, & produced many hits for many artists before going their own ways.

The third guy in After 7 isn't his cousin. When the group first came out, they said he was LA's cousin, but that was false as well. Don't know why they felt the need for that fiction lol.
Babyface & LA Reed made alot of hits with this sounds in the '80 & '90s.
Yes, that’s ’Baby Face’.❤❤
You should check out Body Talk, Shoot Em Up Movies, & Sweet November!!!

@@bigb2494 that I didn’t wow that’s crazy
@clintongray5065 yes, Babyface is often overlooked, but he's taken so many careers to the next level from Toni Braxton, Tevin Campbell, Bobby Brown, Boyz ll Men, Karen White and so many more
@@bigb2494 I know had a large writing catalog but I missed that one I appreciate that info
You read my mind.. I was just getting ready to request this and bam here we go.. this is a true love song,, it means alot to me, 1st time I fell in love, this was Our song ❤This song is timeless, just gets better, like the finest wine ❤

Yes that is Babyface. He started in The Deele.
Beautiful song
LOVE!!❤❤❤❤❤
Bringing back memories. I saw them, The Deele, at the Greek Theater, in Berkeley, Ca., where I'm from!!!
Yes that’s Babyface when he was in the group The Deele
One of my favorite classics!!!
Darnell Bristol, Babyface, LA Reid, Carlos Green......all the band was wonderful. Not a one hit wonder.. a CLASSIC ❤
BABYFACE WROTE THIS SONG...AND HE IS IN THE VIDEO OF THE GROUP
It is him. He is sitting at the piano playing and singing ❤😊
Thee one and only and great maestro "BABYFACE"
crazy how even back then when Babyface was young and getting his feet wet in the music business, we all knew he was going to be special...
Man you're so young😂😂😂 first thing first I love me some Ashanti, love me some Plies, i have Ashanti's Greatest Hits... I have one of Plies CDs from probably 15-20 years ago but they had no business touching this classic
That's a young baby face!😊
Babyface was great of course but those other two guys were 🔥🔥
Yes. I had this CD and it was a classic. Young LA Reid and Babyface. An R&B group called Troop did a remake of this song!
Yes of course that is Babyface with now producer LA Reid. My favorite down tempo by Babyface after this is his great "I Love You Babe" which few people react to though it was big hit on the R&B charts. Give it a listen.
This was my first introduction to Baby face as a kid
That is the group that sung the hit song writing and producers dual of L.A. and Baby Face ( LA is the darker skin dude)
"SWEET NOVEMBER"🔥🔥..Another Great Slow Jam By The Deele
My jam!
This song was my introduction to Babyface!!!
WHAT?!?!
This was your intro, huh?.
Where were you when

HUH?? ❤
Hey beautiful Ashley, you need your husband to sing this to you, this was the jam back in my day. I have loved it ever since.
Yes honey💖💖💖
Definitely BabyFace he even does his trademark Whew during the song 🎵 🔥
Would love to hear Ashley react to Surface songs (if she hasn't already). 😊
That's a younger Babyface. Yes!!!
Yes that's a young Babyface....its a classic...that should not have been redone/remixed by Ashanti and Plies...🤣🤣🤣But Im going to let them make it...this time..LOLOLOL Jkjk👀

A classic from The Deele is Sweet

Another all time favorite
That’s young baby face 😊

👑FACE AND DEELE LEGENDARY*
Ashlee be Effin dem lyrics all up! 😂

Can you hear the family connection with After 7 yet? Great reaction.
He was younger then but that's Baby Face.
Get your hands on the live version. It hits even better IMO. Not the video but CD version.
Babyface started this group
Deele were all related, but babyface was the man back in the day. You should do his song whip appeal
No he did not start this group. They were already established but were struggling. Dick Griffey the owner of solar records asked them to put baby face into the group. That's when they started having hit songs. The first hit song was called Sweet November which the group Troop remade. He then left the group the first time and did his first solo album Lovers.

My Uncle Los killin it
Ashley do you remember the R&B group “Next” or “Rated Next” ? They sang the song “Too Close” They sampled Two Occasions for their song
“I Still Love You” 🔥🔥🔥🔥
They are saying: "I only think of you on two occasions".
Hey Ashley, if you like this one then you'll love their song "Shoot 'Em Up Movies".
Lol that’s babyface 😂
Strongly recommend "Sweet November" by The Deele.
👍BabyFace🫠😎❤ oh man sooo many nights list to the Quiet Storm & Kenny Edmonds & Get Here by Oleta Adams my 2 favorites...but them ruined my expectations for wondering why I was getting love, at least expressed, this way 🫣
