Definitely agree. It was also so much different from the standard LaFace sound he and L.A. Reid were producing for other acts at the time. I always loved the "so do I" vamp at the end of the song.
Dude, this was my JAM when this came out. Right up there with Pebbles'' Girlfriend and Paula Abduls' Straight Up and a million other great pop songs I can't think of right now.
The original G. Before Diddy, Pharell, Dark Child, Timbaland et al there was Babyface- producer, songwriter, musician extraordinaire. The sound that defined a generation.
Thing is, Pharrell was working with Teddy Riley not too long after this (could've been around the same time), and Teddy & Babyface were contemporaries during New Jack. That's why Pharrell is on another level compared to most other modern producers...

Master class. This man is one of the best producers of our time. I was a young guy when I heard this and I still think this song stands out. Love the bass line chords at 3:11 ish. I love to play them on the piano. Got to see him perform at essence fest in New Orleans. It was next level. Glad to see I’m not the only one fanning out on BabyFace and this song
One of the smoothest and slickest R&B/Soul albums to have been released at the time. It still raids ears from start to finish 25+ years later. One of SOLAR's best.
I sent it in OPP, B-2. But, the 80's and 90's was a time to be living. W no disrespect intended to those wasn't there; you had to been there to know why we (on the North, South, East and West coast) say that -- it was crazy
Today is November 30 th the year was 1976 when I was born so today I am 47 years old n a side of good God music 🎵 any type of music I like listening to play on Facebook utup or whatever is war I come from heather lyn pastor aka hizzle rock on

And hell I'm from the middle east. But i loved these songs forever. Keith Sweat, Joe, LL cool j and so on.
The first time I heard Baby Face (and this song), I was driving. I pulled the car over. Then I called the radio station because they did not announce the artist. I have been overwhelmed with the talent to this very day.
One of the most talented songwriters and producers of my generation. This particular jam is so good it stands the test of time. On my playlist forever!
@@jasondawson92 No It wasn't. MTV did not play R & B videos outside of MJ until later years. They even created another brand called VH1 just for playing non mainstream pop and rock music video. This stuff ain't hard. You can look it up.
They were already established artistically for themselves (The Deele) and through producing/writing for other artists from the early to mid 1980s. In 1989 they actually got their own recording label and THAT started the domination.
Young people, this is how we jammed up in the club! Not one filthy vulgar word uttered! Just pure funk thrown down into the depths of your soul! Now go tell your momma!

Same
Exact same for me 😊
I have always loved the visuals in this music video. So creative! Who thinks to use headache inducing florescent lights like that?
You need to thank your parents for introducing you to this icon.
Arguably the best uptempo Face song ever done by the man himself.
Hey you can't count out Toni Tony tone's "it feels good" but yes this is definitely one of them
@@ingodwetrust7648 we ain't taking bout songs like it feels good cause thts still getting radio play til this Day
My kinda girl is right up there or above this one…..
his 2001 song was pretty utempo too. I forgot the name.
AGREE
That LaFace Energy!!❤😂❤😂
"So do I". This song is so dope. I liked it as a kid but LOVE it as an adult. Just a great special energy to it.
💯
I love this song! The entire album is CLASSIC. Babyface still is a musical genius. His compositions are incredible!

Still one of my favorite songs ever. The extended version is dope, too. The whole "Tender Lover" album is perfection.
yep early fusion of r&b and hip-hop in the 80s
@@jasondawson92 This wasn't hip hop it was just an R&B jam
I remember had the album back in the day
Yes there is no Hip Hop in this. Just R&B and deeper with a little New Jack Swing.
That "So Do I" still gives me chills...
I like that part too. So do I, so do I, he’s fantastic

You got that right! Baby face and Price are masters of music.
Bs. This guy, like Michael Jackson and Prince, oozes music from every pore. Pure talent.
Babyface is a slamming musician, writer, producer, singer, composer him and LA Reid were carrying the New Jack Swing and R&B scene in the late 80s
Master class. This man is one of the best producers of our time. I was a young guy when I heard this and I still think this song stands out. Love the bass line chords at 3:11 ish.

Epitome of cool.
That bass is ridiculous!
Summer 1989!!!
Yeee !! ;D

Ah, to be two years old again... lol ;-)
I bought the cassette single the day after I saw this on MTV. The one who knows.....knows
was still a baby but i loved this type music.
New Jack Swing Did It!
This song is awesome
I love this song. A Classic
Hell yessss
MJ, JJ, Gibbs , Babyface , After 7, Deniece Williams,...IND stand up!!
This is a jam for the ages. Babyface played no games on this album!!
I love this whole album.
Gosh I did too...wore out two cassettes!!!!

yes summer of '89 was the best summer ever.
Can't front. It was pretty damn good!

Greatness at its best, they don’t make them like this anymore

HAPPY 57TH BIRTHDAY KENNETH "BABYFACE" EDMONDS (APRIL 10, 2016)
I am from Washington D.C. and I heard this song ALL THE TIME on the radio and the video was ubiquitous on BET that summer 1989! Good times!
I loved every song on this CD. I wore this CD out. It is a classic. Just don't make quality music like this anymore.
Right
Check out the base and arrange. WOW 😄😄😄😄😄👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻♥️♥️♥️♥️🤜🏻🤛🏻😄😄😄😉
Me too had the Cassette Tape Wore it 0ut till it Popped lls 💯
That Tender Lover!!!!
That Tender Lover!!!
Babyface made some good hits, back when R and B was full of funk and soul. This is one of the masterpiece. New Jack Swing had to offer.
The instrumental on this is FIRE 🔥 And his voice on the track?? Perfection 💜
Thank mr LA Reid.
Word gurl
Definitely one of the most talented all-around singers/producers of all time hands down
I still remember when this was on the radio.
These songs were the era of, (all you could say was damn). Really dance your ads off til the morning light music.
Al B Sure--- night and day
Babyface---if loves a crime
Houdini----wild wild west
Envogue---don't let go
Patti la bell---i got a new attitude
Rick James----give it to me baby
Teena Marie---ohh la la
Montel Jordan----this is how we do it
Anita Baker----sweet love
Luther Vandross---a house is not a home
And so much more that i can't remember. And hell I'm from the middle east. But i loved these songs forever.
Keith Sweat, Joe, LL cool j and so on.
Kool Moe Dee did Wild Wild West, not Whodini.
That One Love from Whodini.
Wild Wild West is Kool Moe Dee
Lady T and Rick James 🥰
This song was such a huge crossover onto the pop charts as well of 89! Never stop loving this jam!!
I loved all babyface songs from back in the day.
Awesome song! from the summer I turned 13! 1989
This is by far one of my most favorite songs + albums from the 80s. Babyface n LA Reid made insane magic together. I sure miss those days
I remember the music video on Friday Night Videos on NBC in 1989.
The first time I heard Baby Face (and this song), I was driving. I pulled the car over. Then I called the radio station because they did not announce the artist. I have been overwhelmed with the talent to this very day.
Whitney Houston did that to me! Which song? SAVING ALL MY LOVE.
I love this song Babyface knew what he was doing when he made all of his tracks🙏🏽❤️✊🏾
LeelaJames did thr same to me with 'Say That.' I was hooked from the intro
He's one of my favs. I took my gf to see him in concert right around 1998. Next day she was buying all his music. ❤️
Imagine being like “ILL SPEAK TO YOUR MANAGER I NEED THE DAMN MUSIC”
This song reminds me of Florida, in 87.
Babyface. L.A. Reid. Kayo. Daryl Simmons. Mad talent.
🔥this song is fire
Classic Face! Just pumping out those hits back in the day.
It is Me not back in the day...still to this day...
This is fire!
One of the baddest all around artists ever,writer,producer,arranger,singer,before r kelly,and others there was Babyface and this cut still bumps
Before R. Kelly sure but that doesn't mean anything because before Babyface, there were producer/writers/singers/arrangers like Kashif & Prince.
@MrEXtraRaw why are you hating on Babyface? give his props he changed the game for R&B
My 42 year old son reminded me of the mornings I would play this. The beat just got me going.
1990 I was a Sr. In high school and the song nailed it. She walked fast and I walked slow, everyone said it could not last.
sick bass line
I absolutely agree.
yesssssssssss love this song
You think this is sick you should listen to Billy Ocean's Love Zone. :-) This is a hot bass line, though. Probably why I love it!
gazelle rose Jamming
Yeah, the bass killed it!
Still bad ass today!
Good ol days..summers with the speaker blasting out the window kids outside playing all night grown folks drinking eating crabs........memory lane
One of the most talented songwriters and producers of my generation. This particular jam is so good it stands the test of time. On my playlist forever!
I was 22. Great times! Celebration Club Boston 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻😀😀😀😀😉
My favorite Babyface Song. New Jack Swing will forever be my favorite sub-genre of R&B.
The beat catches from the beginning and won't let go cook ski sota
I CAN SAY IT A THOUSAND TIMES
BABYFACE IS TRULY A MUSICAL GENIUS AT WHAT HE DOES BEST A ENTERTAINER,
SINGER, SONGWRITER AND MUSIC PRODUCER.
Baby face still a pioneer
Yea i remember buying the tape didnt know much at the time about 👶 babyface then i 👂 heard this jam and was hooked. This i the 🎸 jam!
Yep, WAY ahead of it's time!
Love that song no crime your awesome Babyface
Yasss I was jammin! lol I haven't heard this record in years so refreshing to hear the old school stuff :) gotta luv any Babyface record
The Saturday morning jams
The yuppie era of the 80's saw everyone watch some MTV. Awesome song from 1989! 😊
You would not see this video on MTV at the time. You had to go to BET and video soul with Donnie Simpson.
It was played on both stations
@@jasondawson92 No It wasn't. MTV did not play R & B videos outside of MJ until later years. They even created another brand called VH1 just for playing non mainstream pop and rock music video. This stuff ain't hard. You can look it up.
One of a kind song masterpiece.
Before 90s R and B We Had BabyFace!!!!
One of my favorite song
80s was the best music ever
one of my favorite old skool sng
This song started it. He went on to dominate R&B in the 90s.
They were already established artistically for themselves (The Deele) and through producing/writing for other artists from the early to mid 1980s.
In 1989 they actually got their own recording label and THAT started the domination.
Everybody needs love! Good message! 💯
Yesssssssss good music
Takes me back! Love it!
Great song!
