I have tears in my eyes hearing him talk about the Jackson 5 and MJ. My goshhhh legendary. I have chills
That Michael Jackson story is amazing ! He is such a go-getter.
He's so great and yet so humble.. Thanks for all the great music!
I’ve been a Kenny “Babyface” Edmonds fan since the late 80’s. I got to say that you did a great job with this interview. You definitely did your homework on the man.
You actually asked some really good questions. Not the typical questions that most ask when they interview him. Keep up the good work brother. I still hope that I can meet Mr. Edmonds one of these days.
Who can say Mariah Carey was my back up singer? I love the story about him doing whatever he could to meet Michael. I was so in love with this man.....still loving all the music he touches.
Babyface, Bruno Mars, that's too much talent in one room! I would love to have been there for that!😍
It already happened 2 days ago.. They sang Everytime i closed my eyes and lots of Boyz 2 men songs. 😍😍😍
Andre harrell actually told him to work with babyface after his song uptown funk, he went over to babyface house and worked there for 6 weeks on his 24k magic album.
What's the time stamp when they were talking about bruno?
As a songwriter, I throughly enjoyed this. Thank you for this interview.
Maaan, he's so humble. I guess that's one of many reasons he's so successful.
This man can be interviewed for hours. This interview is an hour long and there are soo so many things to talk abut with Baby face
Babyface is one of my all time favorite songwriters. Thank you for this interview, one of the best I've heard him give. Thanks for posting!!!
This dude is a bonafide legend
A living Legend, someone who is so interested rather than trying to be interesting. So respectful of those who he has worked with and looking toward who he could still work with in the future. Focused on what's important and what a great interview. You captured him in the best way possible.🐨👏🏻
Love Babyface definitely a legend
Awesome interview and massive respect to the interviewer
Babyface and Sade album... wow even angels would make babies in heaven!
I enjoyed that interview very much. Baby Face is so talentive, gentleman and auch a genius. Every song he wrote or produced and sung is timeless💜💜💜💜
Face is so mellow & humble you wouldn't know he went platinum over 200 times. #HUMBLE
When they say "you can't have it all" dont believe it. Babyface is handsome, humble, soft as wool, talented and he is RICH.
Blessed is the lady who has this guy in her life😍
Can you imagine a Sade and Babyface record?......
That would be wonderful
Listening to the D-Word from Toni Braxton album i can hear the vibe. Sade would be incredible on a Babyface Record (track) for you youngsta's
@@TH-cam82123gw and powerful
The "Sade sound" is a unique sound that's made up of Sade the singer (vocals/songwriter) and Sade the band (musicians/songwriters)...and it's *that* combination that makes Sade *Sade!*
...and if it ain't broke...
The population will quadruple
What a beautiful interview, enjoyed it so much. Have always been a fan of Babyface artistry and him as a person, so humble and just straight forward. I hope the universe can bring him together with Sade. 💫♥️🙏🏾
Here in 2020. This journalist is great
THE JACKSON 5 WAS MY FIRST
CONCERT TOO WHEN THEY 1st.
CAME TO DETROIT, MICHIGAN
AND I AM ALSO IS A BIG FAN OF
KENNY "BABYFACE" EDMONDS.
AND AFTER 7 AND
"MILESTONE"
Living legend ""truly one of the most greatest musicians in d universe """
He is so fine 🥰🥰❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
He really is though!!! I don’t know how Toni does it????!!!!
Baby face looks so young and he still so cool and laid-back
This video should have more views!!!
Rheachelle exactly what I am thinking 🤔 a year later 🤔😭😭
I was thinking the same thing !
I agree 100 percent.
Dido, shocking really considering the influence the man had and still has. You would have thought anyone writing and producing would have watched it in their down time for inspiration and maybe some tips. Anyway. Pearls before swine.
58:21 Bruno Mars!!!
Thank You !!!!!
Babyface is a great storyteller!
It’s crazy how teddy Riley and baby face competed
AND, they both produced on Bobby Brown's DON'T BE CRUEL album and the rest is history.
Kenny is such a cool guy
This is the best interview I have ever seen.
We need a BabyFace biopic...
Yes! I agree!
TODAY
Yes we do! It should be a miniseries.
Wesley Jonathan played him in that Whitney Houston vh1 bio pic i believe, he actually looked like him
“For The Cool In You” Was my joint!
Mine too!
The Michael Jackson story is too funny. I'm not gonna cry is my jam on that Album. He is so honest and on the level he is you think he have a big head. This is the first time i have seen this guy interview hes good the interview is great.
The interview was amazing. I was always aware of After 7 music. I heard the name Babyface but didn't pay any attention. Now I can't get enough of Kenneth Brian Edmonds. Never knew his formal name. Now I know his name and I will become a member of his fan club as soon as I can find one. I adore Kenneth's talent and skills . Kenneth and his brothers have given us so much with their music.
Babyface LEGEND
This is an amazing interview
I truly enjoyed this interview.
We owe our love for rnb to this man right here 🙌🏽
One of the goats of singing songwriting and producing he's just all-around amazing and talented
wow. To be so talented and so good looking and such a basically GOOD PERSON with all that. He is really something.
Wow!!! The video is over but I’m still starring at my screen like 🤔👁!!! This was really powerful....👏🏿👏🏿👏🏾🇿🇦
Face’s story telling is impeccable, explains he’s song writing skills!
11:05 he was right about r&b back then it use to he about romance not it's just about sex
Good journalism, great questions.
This is a good, no this is a great interview. I gotta give props to Babyface in being such a good story teller, in both song and in this interview. Moreover, it's a great job by the interviewer, who didn't get in the way! Nice job gents!
AMAZING Interview.
Great Interview, Legend doesn't begin to describe this dude.
Michael Jackson 14:30
KiemKOfficial 💪🏽💪🏽 all heroes don’t wear capes!!
Thank u
Thanks brother
Thank a legend like you
KiemKOfficial thank you. The only reason I came here lol even though I love love Babyface
The song that shows the "melody" I think is Ready or Not After 7. It just flows. The GOAT Babyface
I love Babyface when is r&b coming back l miss all that great music
This interview is interesting and informative.👏 Thank you very much for sharing.👍
After graduating from college, I drove across country to my new job LA in my brand new 🚗…I had only two cds at that time: Babyface’s “Tender Lover” and Tears for Fears’ “Songs from the Big Chair”. I wore those two cds 💿 out! I learned and sang every song on Tender Lover but my favorites were “Sunshine” and “Where Will You Go?” I knew then that Kenneth “Babyface” Edmonds was that dude! To this day, I can hear a new song and I can tell if it was produced by Mr. Edmonds! I love his talent, generosity and humility.
True legend of this century
He's super Dope... If I ever did music I would want him to be my producer for sure!
i can listening to babyface all day talking about hows he talking to who the superstars he loves working with that is amazing and love you babyface iam huge fan i been following you since when stared doing whip appeal and writing for yourself and other great superstars in any kind of music.
What a great interview and class act Babyface! Kenny Edmonds
14:30 for Michael Jackson story
Thanks
“There She Goes” was a lowkey jam. Two “super producers” in Babyface & Skateboard P. coming together to bless that track. 👍👍🔥
It is a very underrated song 🎵
Both ageless aliens. 🤔
He’s one of my musical role models! Legendary artist!
Humble legend right there
I love him and his music!!! Awesome performer!!!
LEGENDARY BABYFACE NUFF RESPECT BLESS
Loved his music ever since I heard him with the Deele and Two Occasions, his own music career as well his career as a writer and producer is just epic. My favorite track of his is Take A Bow with Madonna. Kenneth’s backing vocals where perfection and so on point.
My 4th time watching this interview ❤️💪🏿💯👏🏿
Good, in depth interview...
Now that's how you do a great interview!!
This was such an amazing interview. He asked some of the best questions I've heard in interview in the longest time. Also, who is the fools who gave this thumbs down... thumbs down to you.
Great interview...
Awwweeeee He stayed loyal to Queen Whitney 45:45 🥰
I would be scared to work with a legend like Babyface or La Reid
Robi oceanna Lewis don’t forget Darryl Simmons also. He was third man silent partner. La, BAbyface and Darryl Simmons.
A true class act
Baby face is the greatest so professional well spoken. We all could learn from this super star

11:05 he was totally right about r&b they use to make song about break up make up relationship now it's just sex
When he said Johnny Mathis reached out I was finished, it don't get more legendary than that, OMG, I wonder though is Kenny this humble or is some of it an act!!
