2025-05-23 10:45:48 +0000 UTCEnd of the Road: Wanya Morris, the guy that sounded far from the mic, lost his voice during rehearsal. So when it was time to finally record the song his voice cracked, and they decided to keep it because his voice was raw and emotional. In the song he was singing "help me out" that's why.

2025-04-19 21:33:35 +0000 UTCTLC, Usher, Toni Braxton, OutKast, Goodie Mob were all on Babyface and LA Reid(who was also in the group The Deele w/Babyface) record Label called LaFace Records. They RAN the 90s!!! Also, Babyface’s brothers were/are in the group, After 7, another great r&b group. Very talented family.

2025-04-10 12:30:27 +0000 UTCPC 61 Theme ideas: Gerald LeVert Songs (from the group LeVert, to solo career, to the group GSL) OR 70s & 80s Bands OR Lecrae songs
Ms. Undastood
2025-04-10 05:05:21 +0000 UTCTevin Campbell was 16 when Can We Talk came out. So that’s why he had a higher pitch voice. Also you may notice that Babyface sings background vocals on most of the songs he’s wrote & produced.

WaterLord Jaz
2025-04-08 18:58:06 +0000 UTCLoved all the songs, i knew if it was Baby face you can never go wrong,also in case you did not know Bootsy Collins gave him that nickname when he was 17. Looking forward to the next Artist, Kai you and Dad do such a great job,really appreciate you both.
Linda Walker
2025-04-08 05:04:49 +0000 UTCI really love Babyface, i think i have just about everything he has ever done, excellent song writer, he did a duet with Madonna the name escapes me right now,so delighted you are showcasing this gigantic talent. Just don't hear R&b like this anymore. Thank you so much for this awesome segment,Hello from Detroit.

2025-04-08 03:34:24 +0000 UTCRandom thought: You guys should do a album review on TLC's crazysexycool album it's an underrated classic with almost no skips
Bunk
2025-04-08 02:15:32 +0000 UTCPC # 60: Infinity Song- ‘I Want You Back’… I think you’ll both enjoy this sibling group but Dad especially since he stated he enjoyed male/female harmonies. Meshell Ndegeocello- ‘Ecclesiastes: Free My Mind ’ or ‘Outside My Door’ She was signed to Madonnas record label and is deemed a pioneer to the Neo Soul movement.

2025-04-07 01:11:28 +0000 UTCInteresting, I've never thought that but now that you said that I can hear what you're talking about.
Arianne Thompson
2025-04-06 22:17:25 +0000 UTCI love Take A Bow. I have loved this song since its release. The Babyface sound is familiar and showcases her voice so differently than in her other songs. However you still hear her voice and know it's her

2025-04-06 17:54:08 +0000 UTCPC61: A Taste Of Honey - Sukiyaki in 1963 Japanese singer Kyu Sakamoto topped the US Billboard Hot 100 with a Japanese language song called Sukiyaki (Ue o Muite Arukō). In the 70s, an R&B group called Taste of Honey had loved the song so much they had it translated to English & added Japanese instrumentals to the song. It was covered again in the 90s by the R&B group called 4pm which was a top 10 hit. original Japanese version: https://open.spotify.com/track/7BIj2EumM3JA6NmxPcF6C5?si=16ecb06909cd40bf Taste of Honey remake: https://open.spotify.com/track/4FwOQZ6L39ZyHYwmPwlJZw?si=879ff4f1f2574996 4pm remake: https://open.spotify.com/track/0cBQbqp5jInL73ZxLBSGlX?si=2f14626bb4ec40ab

2025-04-06 15:46:00 +0000 UTCI totally agree with Dad about Madonna. I was fully prepared to skip past her song and ended up staying for the whole thing and enjoying it!

2025-04-06 03:39:10 +0000 UTCT-Boz is the lead vocalist, Lefteye was the rapper, and Chilli is the other vocalist. Lefteye got her nickname from a friend who complimented her left eye because it was slightly more slanted than her right eye. He said he was attracted to her left eye lol

2025-04-06 02:32:18 +0000 UTCLive to Tell by Madonna is another beautiful song that Dad might like and be surprised by. It’s really deep and pretty.
Jen M
2025-04-06 02:24:56 +0000 UTCThank you for choosing one of my favorite Babyface songs, Never Keeping Secrets. Even though that song is about him cheating and apologizing, it still sounds romantic. I love how his music really had a respect for women. This was a great reaction. I love how dad told his story about trying to talk to a girl right before, Can We Talk came on…lol! The irony! 😆

Brenda T.
2025-04-06 01:24:31 +0000 UTCI love that you listened to the songs in order of release. Bobby Brown started his career in a group called New Edition. I think they deserve there own PC episode. Maybe start with Can You Stand the Rain.

2025-04-06 01:18:42 +0000 UTCSUCH. A. GOOD. SONG. I wanted to suggest it, but there are so many..!
Adrea
2025-04-06 00:34:41 +0000 UTCSo real… He IS a genre. ❤️
Adrea
2025-04-05 23:59:31 +0000 UTCSuch an amazing listening session, and reactions!! I laughed, I cried.. it was great! “Two eyes” made me laugh, and “Take a Bow” made me cry. (Your dad’s reaction was priceless.) Great song selections - Everything I wanted you guys to get, you got! Don’t know if you realized it, but Babyface is providing the background vocals (almost more like a duet), on “Take a Bow”. Babyface is also a record label legend, with major superstars signed to him (i.e. Usher) He’s also a prolific song WRITER. Babyface is still HIGHLY sought after by younger (wiser) artists of today, like Lucky Daye, Ariana etc. Ps: Quincy Jones thought Tevin sounded like MJ, as well!
Adrea
2025-04-05 23:56:28 +0000 UTC❤️❤️❤️ this episode!! Only comment is the SZA songs lyrics sound so beautiful & sweet but she's singing about hella violence LOL - talking bout killing bitches & hiding guns (I'll testify for u, hold that fire for u, I'll kill that bitch I'll do it all for u as long as u with me..) total ride or die obsessive behavior in the name of this soft & pink love she feels.. stark contrast that I didn't pick up on til I saw a tiktok or smthn talking about it after a year or so!! 🤣🤣 Stil one of my fave SZA songs tho! 😍
Felicia Wiggins
2025-04-05 22:11:17 +0000 UTCFYI Babyface was in the Deele that was him singing
Stephanie Peterson
2025-04-05 21:42:05 +0000 UTCIts funny you compared Tevin Campbell to Michael Jackson because that is exactly what they thought he would be. He had his first big hit at 13 w/ Quincy Jones. They literally said he was the next Michael Jackson although things didnt pan out that way

The FrontRoom
2025-04-05 18:16:16 +0000 UTCAbsolutely loved this reaction. Babyface is a living legend! I also loved how you went in chronological order, that was cool. Also "Two Eyes" made me laugh out loud 😂 The lead singer of TLC was T Boz, Back up was Chili and Left Eye was the rapper. Gave my high school girlfriend this cd as a gift. Phenomenal album. Can you believe, after all the hits TLC had, their deal was so bad, they made very little money.
Tnulb
2025-04-05 18:08:37 +0000 UTCOooh yeah I'm surprised they've never done "Can You Stand the Rain"
Tnulb
2025-04-05 18:06:50 +0000 UTCABSOLUTELY 🤯
Tnulb
2025-04-05 18:06:37 +0000 UTCI enjoyed this episode so much!!! Great song selections out of the comments too… I think all of these songs (except Snooze) Babyface did both songwriting and production.
Adrienne
2025-04-05 16:49:48 +0000 UTCYes pleaseeeee!!! 🎶
Adrienne
2025-04-05 16:48:20 +0000 UTCSo happy u both luved baby face —-and Tevin Campbell was like 15/16 yrs old when the song can we talk was 1st recorded, and he does have a high octave voice register

BJonone
2025-04-05 16:26:44 +0000 UTCIn response to Dads surprise that a singular person/producer won the poll, I’ve seen many request for producer and songwriter spotlight themes since you started PC so hopefully you will do more.
Precious
2025-04-05 16:18:47 +0000 UTCThis was great! Thank you for taking the time to react to 8 songs. Loved that you reacted to the songs in order of release…Enjoyed the commentary also.

2025-04-05 16:18:44 +0000 UTCI'd like to see you two react the live cover of "While my Guitar Gently Weeps". With Prince, Tom Petty, Steve Winwood, Jeff Lynn and others. It was when Prince and George Harrison were inducted into the Rock n roll Hall of Fame. It's a legendary solo from Prince.

2025-04-05 16:13:21 +0000 UTCThis was fun! Babyface is such a legend and deserves all the flowers for his amazing contribution to music. So many people’s favorite songs wouldn’t exist without Babyface & it’s crazy he’s not as known by the masses like Dad pointed out.
Emily
2025-04-05 16:12:27 +0000 UTCI second this recommendation!

2025-04-05 16:08:37 +0000 UTCThe Deele is pronounced like the deal. Kai is correct in saying that people used to say what's the dealio. But that's part of my generation which is Gen X.
