That’s a tad extreme to say, but yes he was prolific during that period. During that time there were 3 places you went to for a hit: LA/Babyface/Simmons, Jam and Lewis, and Teddy Riley/Gene Griffin. They were routinely on the same albums of artists. What a period.
@@stonedog23 not extreme. They didn't mean literally of course. He wrote and produced a significant, magnificent amount of impactful songs. Where you can go to any American black household during the holidays to this day and see families singing along to his touching hits! 🌹One of my favorites, "A Song for Mama" ✨sung by Boyz II Men, off of the Soul Food soundtrack.
Baby face has written over 3,000 hits . Whats amazing is the humility 😳... You gotta love this man! He literally made Bobby Brown and a 100plus other artists 😮
@SassyB diy babyface is way more than a lyrical genius. The man is a complete musician. Kanye is nowhere near the level of Writer or producer that Babyface is. The only person from hip-hop that comes close to Babyface would be jermaine Dupri.
THANK YOU for saying that!!! SMOKEY was THE PEN MAN in the '60's and '70's, as is Babyface in the '90's and 2000's...both BRILLIANT!!!👏🏼🎶👍🏼 Kevon Edmonds is the real Singer in the family tho!!😉
you are the best and most unbelievable singer forever and ever so keep on going to be the most popular music player and singer this is from ccthom555 you have so much fun and soulful music
Baby Face and his band are SO, SO, SO AMAZING AND AUTHENIC! His music is so clean for so many generations of children, youth, and families! And love is so pure and alive. WE WILL ALWAYS LOVE AND CHERISH YOUR MUSIC AND YOUR BAND OF MUSICIANS! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤. The Lord is Good! So, So, Amazing
The craziest part is the songs that he sung aren't even half of what he's written. He has more songs in his catalogue than the public will ever know. This man is pure genius.
Half?? Not even a quarter! No Whitney Houston, No Mariah Carey, TLC and to name a few. Watching this remind me of how easy he took it on Teddy Riley in Verzuz battle.
And believe it or not there are so many other songs he wrote,,, for Whitney, Mary J, Toni Braxton, Karyn White TLC etc etc ... he is truly a musical genius
@LeechRec What's funny and shows his sheer genius is that someone could come and name three completely different artists and name those as the greatest... and they'd still be right 😂.
@@stonedog23 what are you talking about? He has written way more than the “eleven” songs he sang here! These were just the “top hits” he did. He wrote too many more to name or sing.

Absolutely outstanding! This man is 64 years old and on stage moving like this. Not to mention the body of work he’s done. I was born in 76 and I love all 70, 80 and 90’s music. He played a big role in my adolescence and young adulthood. This music is timeless and he’s a lyrical genius! 🐐
Right.. but think about all the songs he does have stored away! I’m sure he has tons sitting somewhere and just couldn’t find the right person to sing them.
Well, I didn’t know that he wrote Rock Steady, Slow Jam, and We’re Not Making Love. All the rest, but not three. I was particularly surprised with Rock Steady. cuz that song is not in his signature style.
I knew he was a genius before he did his own album and Im white. Lol. My yt ass parents always played his music, Prince, MJ, and Luther. We listened to everything, but they made a point to teach me who wrote music and played instruments, too. They suck in most ways, but thankfully they passed on good taste in music. I've seen Prince, MJ and Janet. I'd love to see Babyface! From what I recall, his wife was stunning.
Babyface has written 460 songs - which is so impressive but he's made it seem so easy. He deserves his flowers, his place in the music hall of fame and several lifetime awards.
I am floored! Yes Babyface is a gifted songwriter and singer! And can we shout out his background vocalists?! Amazing!! Thank you to whomever recorded this! My husband and I are enjoying this on our road trip! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Somebody once told me that people have slept on Babyface and not many people appreciate how talented this man is. I thought at the time that she was exaggerating but now that I have just seen this, her words hit me right between the eyes! So many artists owe their careers to this man!!! A true legend!
People look at me crazy when I say there’s no way you can crown R. Kelly the King of RnB before Babyface. But people grossly mistake sex appeal for musical talent.
For About 10-11 years , BabyFACE ( & LA Face ) were the charts ( along with JAM & Lewis ) , Wonderful time , Great creativity & AMAZING hits and songs 🤩🎶👌🎤
And his genius is pretty much ignored because he's so lowkey as a personality. But Babyface has created his own hits, created hits for rnb, soul, pop stars, from Shanice to Whitney to Madonna to Brandy to Ariana Grande and Beyonce, over 4 or 5 decades. He also singlehandedly wrote one of the greatest movie soundtracks ever, and is a multi-instrumentalist. I remember people pushing back at me around the time Boosie was saying R. Kelly is the greatest over MJ and Prince. and I was saying I of course respect and love all these people's catalogs (I was only judging their work... NOT them personally lol) and impact, so it says something that Babyface beats them all because he was creating literal wealth for ERRBODY he worked with, male, female, group, solo artists...
Babyface often used his brother's Kevon and Melvin(🙏🏽) and friend Keith of the group "After 7"on his recordings, and sometimes during his live Shows. Those guy's were PHENOMENAL!!! 🎶👍🏼🎶
Baby Face= Certified Lyrical Genius. He's a one man hit making factory. Thanks for all the hits you've written that have turned many singers into stars over the years. And to top it off, he can sing every hit he has written because he has the voice and he's that darn good.
... what means “Lyrical Genius” lyrics are the words correct??? what about the beats? the music, (basslines , chords)?? melodies??? he created all that and production so... multi genius??
Babyface is the Midas of music. I truly would not have guess that he wrote these hits. Babyface deserves all his sucess. He put a lot of work in and put alot of ppl on. Most of those he wrote for like Bobby, Johnny Gill and Boys to Men all had stellar career. His career literally spans about 40 years. He basically single handedly created the music we loved for that era. He is easily the most influential talent of his era.
@@SalemGurl8701 Okay..... that's nice and we love the Hamiltones but that wasn't the statement. It's not a competition. When was the last time you did some research. The Hamiltones haven't been with Anthony Hamilton in a minute. They are now just called the Tones. By the way, the greatest backup singers were probably the Andates. and the Waters. People who are in the industry would agree.
I’m in tears man. It is RIDICULOUS how much talent this man has and how many records he wrote and produced, that were not just records, but HIT records!!!!! Good GOD!!!!!!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 Babyface, Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis, and Teddy Riley had the 80s and 90s on LOCK!!!!!! The hit records they put out are timeless and honestly, I don’t think we’ll ever have anymore songwriters and producers on their level because people are now lazy with very little to zero talent. Our parents had Smokey Robinson and Norman Lear writing timeless hits, and we have these guys. My daughter’s generation doesn’t have anyone and I hate that. I salute these amazing musicians!!!!!!!!
@@renaldojason…PLEASE!, no she doesn’t….today’s music SUCK, if you can even call it music. Most of these young people be stealing hooks from 80’s & 90’s music. That father was right!
We are still out here...just don't sleep...great music is coming and amazing performers is something that God will never stop bringing forward! He will outdo Himself because He created music for a powerful purpose but it has been abused by the industry! God has warriors out here! Best believe! WE are coming to light it up! ha ha
Tbf if R Kelly was ever in the running as the king of RnB, then Babyface has to be. His RnB pen is impeccable, consistently making classics for decades and still the notorious Babyface
If any of you remember Ashford and Simpson, they wrote a lot of songs for the artist that we know are old school. Unfortunately Ashford died of cancer. They were the power couple back then.
OMG !!!!!!!!! Just saw him two days ago in Baltimore !!!!!!!!!!! He is 64 years old........what can I say about Babyface..........THIS MAN STILL ROCKS IT !!!!!!!!!!!!!! It was so good to see him perform this medley !!!!!!!!! Thank you to whoever recorded this one !!!!!!!!!!!! xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxo
This is the most moving around I have seen him do on stage. He’s normally sitting at the piano or sitting playing the guitar with his shades on! I see you Face!!!❤️
Listen closely…Real Talent is Everlasting. If a concert crowd can sing Every Song, Lyrics, Bridge, Pitch..huntee, they are Legends. Face and Anita..Legends. PeriodT.
Babyface is one of the most amazing song writers in history. I witnessed his performance at the Westbury Music Fair in New York. This talented Man has written so many hits.The Audience was mentally and physically exhausted when the show ended. I had no idea Babyface wrote so many hit songs.Also 95 percent of the audience knew all the words❤❤❤
I don’t know why people are so surprised that Babyface wrote so many hits. Most of the songs he wrote have a distinct sound to them like just Jam & Lewis’ work. He is a talented and prolific songwriter.
Face is a very humble man he never put it out there that he wrote all the songs. I’m glad that he changed his mind and let people know that he wrote these incredible, phenomenal love songs that has tested the sands of time💯💕😌
Baby Face is a legend! A trip down memory lane for me. I grew up in the 80s and 90s. It was an awesome time to hear his songs on the radio! He owned it!
🙏🙏Blessings forever GOD loves y'all too forever tell everyone you know and don't know. Jesus loves y'all too forever. Teach everyone how to see and enjoy their blessings too forever
I actually knew he wrote/produced all of these. I'm in my mid-40s, and as a kid/teen, I loved reading cassette tape/record/cd liner notes. This medley doesn't even scratch the surface of his catalog. This man is one of the greatest musical talents ever. Also, shout out to Darryl Simmons aka Silent Partner, who co-wrote/co-produced some of these hits with Babyface.
And, the fact that he's SO (genuinely) humble about it, just makes him that much greater, because he COULD be a d*ck, about his success/talent. This man wrote the soundtrack, for the 80s & 90s, hands down!
Baby Face has actual talent. The artists that he’s written for are diverse in age and style. When I think of Waiting To Exhale I see his amazing talent. Please see don’t ever mention Kanye and Baby Face in the same sentence.
Such a good concert! My mom and I were really going to see Anita Baker, but we had no clue Babyface would be there too! He did the damn thing. Anita was EVERYTHING!
I saw them in Baltimore I’m May. It was such an amazing show. Babyface did the d@mn thing and Miss Anita….whewww…I could watch and listen to her sing all day.
The legend, master songwriter, and composer of the '80s, '90s, and beyond. He is writing and producing for the millennials!! If you want to be timeless, get Babyface on it!
These songs were just the tip of the iceberg. His body of work is astounding. A True Legend, from my home town ( Indianapolis, Indiana) 😉 and last but not least, them background singers ATE!
This didn't even tap his song catalog, go check his Wikipedia page, you're really going to be blown away. I did a project on Babyface when I wanted to become a record a&r
Best songwriter/producer of his era. We can all safely say that a special moment in our romantic life can be linked to one of the songs written by him.
This guy is like the Stevie Wonder of the late 80's and 90's. Wow!! What a prolific singer and songwriter. Great music for dancing and groovin! Love this! 💗🎤🎵🎸🎹
Face can do an entire concert on songs he wrote for other people....then another one on songs from his extensive catalog. Dude is one of the greatest ever.
Babyface is the goat! This man is a legend and a genius as he wrote so many top hits, this is just a few. Take your bow Kenneth Edmonds!! #Babyface👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
FACE IS ONE OF A VERY FEW MUSICAL, SONGWRITING, PERFORMING, AND PRODUCING GENIUS GOATS! WROTE SO MANY HITS AND MADE SUPERSTARS OUT OF SO MANY ARTISTS!!!!!!
I’m in awe ❤. This man is single-handedly responsible for making the late 80’s and nineties great 👍🏽. I’m glad I was around for it. Wow 🤩. Baby Face is golden
My Sunday song!! Babyface wrote many hit songs for various artist and is still perfoming his classic hits! He is a legend beyond legends !! Us from this era will never stop singing and loving to his masterpieces!❤
I’m 31 and I was blessed to see Babyface last year. This man is a genius and wrote for so many music legends! I wonder how many more songs he has stored away in his vault!
I’m 40 years old this man has written many songs I remember from being a small child through my adult years. So much talent he’s a living legend I’m going to see Anita Baker in December already bought my tickets I surely hope he’s there (wishful thinking 😂)
This man's talent is undeniable. I am so glad this video was posted. He is singing my life. 80s and 90s for real. He is still writing. Thank you Babyface for all of this
Give this man his flowers 🌺 🌺🌺🌺. He’s literally responsible for damn near every love song for an entire generation!

“Humility?” Face is hardly humble! He’ll tell you that.
Some people call Kanye a genius for being able to program an MPC drum machine. BABYFACE IS A GENIUS!!!
Kanye is a master sampler, he is indeed a genius.... AND Babyface is a lyrical genius. Both can be true at the same time
One big difference, Babyface is not mentally ill. Kanye is. So sad.

just a fraction indeed Sheila
Who knew!
Half?? Not even a quarter! No Whitney Houston, No Mariah Carey, TLC and to name a few. Watching this remind me of how easy he took it on Teddy Riley in Verzuz battle.

I feel the same, was born in 1976 as well😊
Just had an epiphany. BF could have hoarded all these songs but he was smart enough to give them up to the best artists. What a gift he is.
Right.. but think about all the songs he does have stored away! I’m sure he has tons sitting somewhere and just couldn’t find the right person to sing them.
He was writing songs long before he started singing.
Don't forget about Smokey Robinson!
What's crazy on R&B Money he said The Deele didn't like a lot of these songs and passed on them.
He could’ve sang all the songs he gave away and they would’ve been hits. It’s crazy.
The fans knew that Babyface wrote these classics! Timeless music for all generations of music lovers!

And his genius is pretty much ignored because he's so lowkey as a personality. But Babyface has created his own hits, created hits for rnb, soul, pop stars, from Shanice to Whitney to Madonna to Brandy to Ariana Grande and Beyonce, over 4 or 5 decades.

He is a talented and prolific songwriter.
Face is a very humble man he never put it out there that he wrote all the songs. I’m glad that he changed his mind and let people know that he wrote these incredible, phenomenal love songs that has tested the sands of time💯💕😌
Our music legends are getting older still going strong their still in demand selling out the largest venues
Baby Face is a legend! A trip down memory lane for me. I grew up in the 80s and 90s. It was an awesome time to hear his songs on the radio! He owned it!
Love the 80's and 90's cause of these songs even the superwoman I super like in my teen life was his song too. So amazing genius legend baby face
🙏🙏Blessings forever GOD loves y'all too forever tell everyone you know and don't know. Jesus loves y'all too forever. Teach everyone how to see and enjoy their blessings too forever
I actually knew he wrote/produced all of these. I'm in my mid-40s, and as a kid/teen, I loved reading cassette tape/record/cd liner notes.
This medley doesn't even scratch the surface of his catalog. This man is one of the greatest musical talents ever.
Also, shout out to Darryl Simmons aka Silent Partner, who co-wrote/co-produced some of these hits with Babyface.
I did the same thing, I always looked at the producer credits. It let me know what I needed to produce music and writing skills.
You are me, I don’t know why everyone is shocked?
I never knew he wrote for Dru Hill..but I love it
People always forget he wrote a hit for rock group Fallout Boy. He stay booked.
His really the man that got R&B music going all through these decades
Thank you, Babyface for writing songs that were the Soundtrack to My Youth… His “Pen Game” is Everything 🎉❤️
Damn! He is literally responsible for some artists entire career! I've always respected Babyface, but now I have a whole new level of respect for him.
He's really a genius
And, the fact that he's SO (genuinely) humble about it, just makes him that much greater, because he COULD be a d*ck, about his success/talent. This man wrote the soundtrack, for the 80s & 90s, hands down!
Baby Face has actual talent. The artists that he’s written for are diverse in age and style. When I think of Waiting To Exhale I see his amazing talent. Please see don’t ever mention Kanye and Baby Face in the same sentence.
there is no one like Babyface...He's legions ahead of his contemporaries
Exactly kayne not even close
Exactly
Well,I don't kno any of Kanya songs and that is by choice
He is the natural successor to Smokey Robinson, who had his hands on so many hits at Motown.
I never knew that Babyface wrote these beautiful songs!! He’s a musical genius!!
@irishmad6974 yes he completely is and I wasn't aware he'd created so many top hits.
Me either. He is PHENOMENAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I did not know Baby Face could move like that!😲😲😲💃🏾💃🏾💃🏾😂🤣😂 Love it!
I’m just absolutely green with envy of the audience being able to see this man live & hear this beautiful music. ❤️❤️❤️
Give this man his flowers while he’s still here 💯
This right here is the soundtrack to my 50 year old life. Thanks Face😍
Me too. I’m 61. I’ve been rocking with him since the Deele’s!!
Babyface is a GENIUS 🥰🥰🥰😂
Genius. The greatest songwriter of all time. These songs are EPIC.
Such a good concert! My mom and I were really going to see Anita Baker, but we had no clue Babyface would be there too! He did the damn thing. Anita was EVERYTHING!
Good to know. A friend of mine got tickets for us, for their July 2, 2023 concert, Pine Knob Music Theatre (Michigan). Already excited.
Oh woowwww!! You definitely got a treat!!
I saw them in Baltimore I’m May. It was such an amazing show. Babyface did the d@mn thing and Miss Anita….whewww…I could watch and listen to her sing all day.
❤❤❤
Girl I would’ve lost my damn mind!!!!
This man is a songwriting machine for some of the most popular R&B songs of the 90's
This man is so talented. So many of these songs are cross over classics. Imagine how many people don’t have the privilege of knowing who Babyface is
I didn't want it to end and he literally could have done an entire 30 more minutes of hits! People REALLY sleep on Face! #GOAT 🐐
Babyface is a great musician, great person with tons of character. I will always be a fan of his!
The legend, master songwriter, and composer of the '80s, '90s, and beyond. He is writing and producing for the millennials!! If you want to be timeless, get Babyface on it!
These songs were just the tip of the iceberg. His body of work is astounding. A True Legend, from my home town ( Indianapolis, Indiana) 😉 and last but not least, them background singers ATE!
Yes shout out to Indiana, I'm up north in Elkhart get your tickets for the Cincinnati music festival in July
Dude he wrote every hit!
He should be filthy rich
Goddam it baby face!!! Genius!😮😂❤
YES, HE'LL ALWAYS BE A GENIUS & A GOOD PERSON!!
Excellent!! Those backup vocalists are also top notch.
This is blowing my mind. I’m like he wrote that song too? I knew he wrote a lot of songs for people but come on…Babyface is amazing!!!
This didn't even tap his song catalog, go check his Wikipedia page, you're really going to be blown away. I did a project on Babyface when I wanted to become a record a&r
Best songwriter/producer of his era. We can all safely say that a special moment in our romantic life can be linked to one of the songs written by him.
Wow I didn’t realize he’s written all these popular songs. 👏👏👏
This is phenomenal!!!! He wrote practically entire damn decades!!! 👌👌👌
This guy is like the Stevie Wonder of the late 80's and 90's. Wow!! What a prolific singer and songwriter. Great music for dancing and groovin! Love this! 💗🎤🎵🎸🎹
Face can do an entire concert on songs he wrote for other people....then another one on songs from his extensive catalog.
Dude is one of the greatest ever.
"To the end of the road", the audience was in such good harmony! Loved it!
oh my gosh...he really wrote some incredible music...i am so impressed...he needs more recognition...
There no words for the love that Babyface give out to so many artists ❤😊
My man, he's a GENIUS. No words can suffice to his greatness 👍👍🇿🇲
This man's talent is a gift to humanity.
He warmed up and stretched in the 80’s. He proceeded to absolutely dominate the 90’s.
I was there for Anita and Babyface truly made it extra special. Black Magicians 🎼
Smokey Robinson, Babyface, and Neyo are all amazing songwriters that have transformed their generation with top 10 hits!
Sorry, Neo is NOT in the same catagory as Smoky and Babyface. Kind of disrepectful.
Omg, I watched this and didnt wanted it to end.!!! I bow down to you, simply God given talent.❤🎶 👏👏👏 Thank u Baby Face.🙏
The realization of Babyface's talent is mindblowing!!!! He is truly a musical genius! Thank you Babyface for so many wonderful songs. 👏🏾🌺
I'm smiling from ear to ear..all my favorite
Can Babyface hold a songwriting workshop? This new class needs help!
Yes! He needs to hold a masterclass on songwriting!
FACTS!!!😂
Well, he needs to find the ones who can actually sing and not just do runs!!
Agreed
@@dianemcquay8460 🤣🤣🤣

Speechlessssssssss.The 🐐 of love songs
Babyface is the goat! This man is a legend and a genius as he wrote so many top hits, this is just a few. Take your bow Kenneth Edmonds!! #Babyface👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
FACE IS ONE OF A VERY FEW MUSICAL, SONGWRITING, PERFORMING, AND PRODUCING GENIUS GOATS! WROTE SO MANY HITS AND MADE SUPERSTARS OUT OF SO MANY ARTISTS!!!!!!
🤙🏾🤙🏾🤙🏾🤙🏾🤙🏾🤙🏾
Babyface, Stevie Wonder and R Kelly. Every song they touch turn to gold.
@@MrsJones-we3wo 💯facts
am so in my feels, my daddy played these songs for me and now in my 40s am so grateful. thank you for sharing.
I’m in awe ❤. This man is single-handedly responsible for making the late 80’s and nineties great 👍🏽. I’m glad I was around for it. Wow 🤩. Baby Face is golden
My Sunday song!! Babyface wrote many hit songs for various artist and is still perfoming his classic hits! He is a legend beyond legends !! Us from this era will never stop singing and loving to his masterpieces!❤
I’m 31 and I was blessed to see Babyface last year. This man is a genius and wrote for so many music legends! I wonder how many more songs he has stored away in his vault!
I’m 40 years old this man has written many songs I remember from being a small child through my adult years. So much talent he’s a living legend I’m going to see Anita Baker in December already bought my tickets I surely hope he’s there (wishful thinking 😂)
You probably know by now, she kicked him off the tour. So sorry for your loss.
Wow....he's a musical genius...he doesn't get the props he deserves all these years!
Babyface penmanship is beyond that of a Genius he literally has kept r&b alive thru the years
This man's talent is undeniable. I am so glad this video was posted. He is singing my life. 80s and 90s for real. He is still writing. Thank you Babyface for all of this
They just don't make music like this anymore 😪 🥰🎵🎶
I love seeing the Billboard chart and how long a song stayed on the charts and its peak position. That's so cool!!!
I used to study the Billboard 100 like it was a class 🤦🏾♂️😆
@@landocalrisian2014 🤐 I vigorously perused it, too.
