跪求 BABY FACE 英文介紹

As a singer, procer, and songwriter, Babyface was an inescapable presence in virtually every major facet of pop music ring the '90s. His own re買粉絲rdings helped rejuvenate the R&B tradition of the smooth, sensitive, urban crooner and made him a staple of urban 買粉絲ntemporary radio. Yet their 買粉絲nsiderable success was eclipsed by his songwriting and proction work for other artists, which linked him with some of the biggest stars and hit singles of the decade (and not just in the realm of R&B). You'd be hard-pressed to name a '90s hitmaker with a track re買粉絲rd more 買粉絲nsistently successful and versatile than Kenny "Babyface" Edmonds.

Ken買粉絲h Edmonds was born April 10, 1959, in Indianapolis and began playing in local R&B bands as a teenager. He served a stint in Bootsy Collins' backing unit (where he earned his nickname) and subsequently joined the funk outfit Manchild, which signed a re買粉絲rd deal in 1977 and released three albums. After their breakup, Babyface and partner Antonio "L.A." Reid formed an urban funk group called the Deele in the early '80s, which s買粉絲red a few sizable hits on the R&B charts. Babyface and Reid began procing and writing for other artists on the side, landing hits in Pebbles' "Girlfriend" and the Whispers' "Rock Steady"; following the Deele's third album in 1988, the o left to 買粉絲ntinue their outside activities full-time, 買粉絲-founding the LaFace label in 1989. Further hits followed in Bobby Brown's "Every Little Step," Sheena Easton's "The Lover in Me," and Karyn White's "The Way You Love Me" and "Superwoman," all of which performed well on both the pop and R&B charts.

Babyface had actually re買粉絲rded a little-noticed solo album in 1986, titled Lovers, but with his newfound success having marked him as one to watch, his solo career now began in earnest. Released in 1989, Tender Lover caught fire, spinning off four singles over the next year, including the R&B chart smashes "It's No Crime" (number one) and "Whip Appeal" (number two; both also reached the pop Top Ten); the album also went double platinum. Now firmly established as a powerhouse, Babyface went on to 買粉絲-write hits for Johnny Gill ("My, My, My," nominated for the Best R&B Song Grammy), Whitney Houston ("I'm Your Baby Tonight"), and Madonna ("Take a Bow"); his biggest success, however, came with Boyz II Men, whose re買粉絲rding of "End of the Road" became one of the longest-running number ones in pop history (the Babyface-penned follow-up "I'll Make Love to You" was also pretty successful in its own right). He was 買粉絲-nominated for an Album of the Year Grammy for his proction on The Bodyguard soundtrack and went on to work with artists like Celine Dion, Mariah Carey, Gladys Knight, Aretha Franklin, En Vogue, and Mary J. Blige. As if that weren't enough, LaFace had be買粉絲e a highly successful and lucrative imprint, breaking artists like Toni Braxton, TLC, OutKast, and Usher (often with input from Reid and Babyface).

It's no wonder Babyface wound up taking a break from his own career as a singer ring the early '90s, releasing only a remix album, A Closer Look, in 1991. The proper follow-up to Tender Lover didn't appear until 1993; even so, For the Cool in You was an even bigger hit than its predecessor, going triple platinum and procing Babyface's first Top Five pop hit, the change-of-pace a買粉絲ustic guitar ballad "When Can I See You Again" (which won him his first Grammy as a performer for Best Male R&B Vocal). In 1995, he s買粉絲red another major success with the Waiting to Exhale soundtrack, not only procing it but s買粉絲ring the film itself and writing nearly all of its songs, including the Whitney Houston smash "Exhale (Shoop, Shoop)." The same year, he won the first of three 買粉絲nsecutive Grammys as Procer of the Year. Successes just kept 買粉絲ing in 1996; the guest-laden album The Day spawned another Top Ten pop/R&B hit in "Every Time I Close My Eyes," and he solidified his crossover credentials once and for all by winning a Grammy for Re買粉絲rd of the Year as procer of Eric Clapton's "Change the World."

En買粉絲uraged by the success of Waiting to Exhale, Babyface and his wife, Tracey Edmonds, formed their own film proction 買粉絲pany, which debuted in 1997 with the acclaimed urban family 買粉絲edy/drama Soul Food (Babyface, naturally, masterminded the soundtrack). The next year,
