___________

EVEN though his birthday…

is not until 10th April, I wanted to do a Lockdown Playlist about Babyface and the awesome songs he has written or produced. If you do not know about him, here is some information:

Kenneth Brian Edmonds (born April 10, 1959), better known by his stage name Babyface, is an American singer, songwriter, and record producer. He has written and produced over 26 number-one R&B hits throughout his career and has won 11 Grammy Awards. He was ranked number 20 on NME's 50 of The Greatest Producers Ever list”.

I am taking a selection of song that he wrote/co-wrote or produced. It is amazing to think about the array of tracks he has been involved with and the fact that a lot of people do not know about him. I guess producers and songwriters do not get the same sort of focus and media attention as the artists themselves. In honour of a great and hugely original songwriter/producer/artist, this Lockdown Playlist is all about…
