In 1992, I was thrilled to be a part of the animated feature soundtrack for the classic Robin Harris comedy sketch "BeBe's Kids". Along with producer, John Barnes..... I wrote this song for Ronnie to sing this movie. He was my idol when I was a kid. The other artists we wrote songs for in this film were: Ronnie Isley, Aretha Franklin, The Emotions and The Ojays. #billygriffin
+Billy Griffin You are a genius. This is a masterpiece! Talent at its best, lyrics, melody and perfect selection of artist, The legendary Ronald Isley.
+Billy Griffin I must admit I was not of fan of the movie, but stumbled upon this song by accident. I hate I slept on it for so many years. Thank you for this gem of a song.
Damn shame Paramount/Viacom did little to promote their movie soundtracks in the 90s, which always had hidden R&B gems from popular artists like Isley Brothers with this, but other artists we don't know about. Addams Family Values is another underrated soundtrack.
LOL....seems like the entire r&b community slept on this. Almost everything I've posted the last 3 months here are re-post from my last channel. I had this up for a year & a half & had probably 100+ comments of people saying that they had never heard this gem before. One guys channel name was something like "#1IsleyBrosFan" who said that he had ALL of their music & didn't even know about this record. Must've been a Chicago stepper thing cause this record was HUGE here. Every DJ had it.
Bebe's Kids barely had a $3 million dollar budget, it ended up grossing around $18 million, and totalled near $23 million after its theatrical run ended in December 1992(It was still running in Theaters as late as when Home Alone 2 opened). The Video release of Bebe's Kids of May 1993 ended up doing well too, 345,000 VHS copies sold, and its HBO premiere in June 1993 had over 2 million viewers, it was also one of the top 5 rented tapes of '93. Because of its tiny budget(many RACIST and Bigoted White Investors kept passing on getting the film made), there was no money to shoot videos for the songs from the Soundtrack.
I heard that SHOUT! FACTORY is planning to release Paramount’s COOL WORLD (1992) on BLU-RAY for the first time ever by January 2022 which is exciting news for the fans who have waited for many years! Maybe SHOUT! FACTORY will do BEBE’S KIDS (1992) next for a BLU-RAY release of 2022! It’s about time PARAMOUNT release all their late 80s and early 90s movie classics out and have SHOUT! FACTORY do the BLU-RAY distribution!
I absolutely Luv this song! So BEAUTIFUL 😊
Ronald Isley. Wonderful.
A huge favourite of mine and Peter Young. His album with Burt Bacharach is divine.
Thank you.
This song will always be a #1 oldie, but remain new year after year...#1 Hit always...
