      No lo key about it. He wrote way more than he song on here. Most of tony braxton, boyz 2 men, jon b, bobby brown and every artist male and female during the 90's had at least one hit from him. And he wasn't a bad artist himself.

      Queen! He OWNED the 90s! I didn't know he'd written some of those songs, like "Slow Jam" and "Rock Steady" too! But basically he started bodying the 80s and straight plowed through the 90s! Blessings on Blessings from Vegas 💜

      I bet you didn't know that JG got that song by accident. It was written for After 7, but because Melvin didn't show up to the studio, likely dealing with his habit, unfortunately, the song was serendipitously passed to Johnny and the rest is history. Babyface also came up with the group name After 7, because of his answering machine. Lol! He is definitely the GOAT though. Hands down!!

    I am still amazed at how he made it around the arena. Most these youngsters couldnt even make it up the first flight. Amazing. Love you Babyface! Truly a GOAT.....

    This was everything that any and every woman could ever want or ever need. Oh yes he was sick He just didn't know it. We all found later. He had Covid 19. But he still put it down!!! He is THE G. O. A. T. No joke baby. Thank you Mr. Kenny Babyface Edmonds. This is hot and so are you. Great job.

      Mj can't play no instruments, has people play for him, can't use pro tools, is no producer. If you told him to play Billie Jean, bad, or any other song he sang on a piano there and then, he couldn't do it, that's no musican. Just a song and dance man. Can't compare him to people with true musical skills.
