That "Thats Why I Love You" by Monica and him playing that snappy bass for Solar-LaFace-DeeleSongz songs and co-production really made LaFace's early work copestetically organic.
Now YOU understand why he is the Silent Partner! Smart move. If Kenny formed SimFace Records with him, it would have ruined their relationship as childhood friends.
@@HalftimeChat I know... I chased him down when I saw him in the ATL airport! he even waited a couple of minutes until I could get my friends...also writer/producers so they could meet him as well! Very humble guy!
The real deal here. You used to actually have to have talent to be in the industry. Real musicianship, real talent. That hasn’t been the case in a long time and it shows. When you had to have to talent to make it, you had it. When you don’t, there’s no incentive to have the talent.
Listen to that bass slap in Mary Mack by Babyface. I love that bass. It sounds like Attala Zane Giles of the late Vesta Williams camp, but I think it's Daryl on it.
Great stuff as usual halftime. You always deliver!! Darryl Simmons was one of the guys in the background but had a major impact on music. Was thinking....another great interview would be Keith Crouch. Brandys first producer...he had a lot of contributions to R&B in the mid to late 90s...
I prefer Babyface's music with Daryl. I noticed that something was lost after that era and after this interview I realised it was Daryl with Babyface. Waiting to Exhale was great but none of those tracks had the magic of a 'can we talk' or 'end of the road'. Babyface needs to get back with Daryl asap
Nnamdi, great interview as always. You asked some solid questions of some of the legendary artist, vocalist, producers, and songwriters, that really get them to talk and share their story. You have that gift to where you are not over talking folks and just letting the conversation flow organically. You are the best! Keep up the great work. Thanks for sharing these videos with us and I will definitely join so that we (fans) can help support you and the wonderful projects that you share with us. Much love and respect.
What up big half - good interview. Thanks for the interview, I've heard this man's name for at least 30yrs but i never heard him speak , I think I saw him in an old music vid( he's been like a ghost 👻 lol ); smfh. Just think halftime, if u weren't interviewing "some"of these ppl no one would and we wouldn't get their story. Indianapolis - nap town ; my second home A lot of bad boys(legends) from there
Before Destiny's Child, I think Bey was in Girlstown or Girlstime? signed to Daryl's Silent Partner Records which was distributed via Ruffhouse via Sony/CBS/Columbia if I got that right. I didn't like the record. IT was too bubble gummy. Bey sounded weak back then IMHO.
Only Keith Sweat got over in being signed to Queen Elizabi.tch II oops I mean Queen Sylvia Rhone's EEG Empire like Cookie. Adina Howard got screwed over...Benny Medina (he screwed and helped others out just as much).....Stepchild....Eric Benet to a degree....Casserine (Rodney Jerkin's and Cato's first pro break in '94)....SFTP (Something For The People RIP Fuzz), etc.
Don't sleep on Verdine White from EWF, Daryl. If there were a super group like Sleepy Brown on leads, Daryl Simmons and Verdine on basses, Nile Rodgers on lead guitar with features with Justin Timberlake, Jon B, Bilal, and Bruno Mars on leads with Pharrell on co-lead/bkground vocals/drums/drum machine would be a hell of a supergroup retro style.
Timbaland had a post from one of his guys explaining the difference between a producer and a beat maker. Despite that, most best makers call themselves producers because they created the music. Rightly or wrongly.
@@HalftimeChat I kind of don't know your disposition, Nn, but Timbaland doesn't set the standard of defining the dichotomy of producers from beatmakers necessarily. Beatmakers typically take MIDI kits and loops which were made by other beatmarkers, producers or sound designers. If you disagree, then albeit. I'm sticking to my guns. ;-)

Daryl Simmons a production beast
Daryl Simmons!! So underrated!! So inspiring
That "Thats Why I Love You" by Monica and him playing that snappy bass for Solar-LaFace-DeeleSongz songs and co-production really made LaFace's early work copestetically organic.
I admire Daryl being straightforward & discipline.👍🏾
Love Darryl and Babyface together.
So many songs seeing Daryl Simmons’ name in the credits. Now we get to see who this is
Yup always seen his name in the credits Silent Partner Productions
Now YOU understand why he is the Silent Partner! Smart move. If Kenny formed SimFace Records with him, it would have ruined their relationship as childhood friends.
LaFace records 4 life.
I'm with you on that!✊🏾

no wonder such beautiful music would come from such a beautiful soul :)
Thank you for shining a light on this brother!!
He's a silent legend and humble man

After 7 was one of their best produced album.

This is gonna be AWESOME!😀

This is big dawg! Good interview
Didn't realize Darryl Simmons was from my hometown as well. #dope

Thanks, I'll reach out to him. Sometimes the producers are harder to get as they aren't so active on social media
Exactly, he stay with the heat.

I would say the same thing with LA Reid. After the break up the sound was different.
Well fck me: you guys might as well as get Dee Bristol and Carlos Satin Greene with Kayo back too while we are adding people. lol
@@TheReal_E.IRIZARRY 🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@rahsaanhill5781 Right! They lost the magic because the magic came from the collaboration and not them as individuals.
The chemistry was definitely unique
Great interview, it would be great to see an interview with Carlos Green. Don’t see many interviews with him
Kudos to you Halftime chat for sharing the stories of unsung heroes! And also your dedication for the culture!
Much appreciated 😊🙏🏾

Thank you very much. I learnt from Donnie Simpson who just hung out with his guests and they and us watching had fun. 😊🙏🏾
He also produced for Will Downing on his Invitation Only '97 album a coupe of midtempo slow jams.
He’s the man
What up big half - good interview.

🤭 The Silent partner
*Ralph Tresvant's* _Stone Cold Gentleman_ is some of *Daryl Simmon's* best work
He found destiny child and Sylvia Rhone dropped them elektra
😯 Wow
Girls tyme he brought them to the neighborhood when they were kids…lol

"Good S3x Tonight" was a bop that should have blown up for After 7 produced by Daryl Simmons.
Daryl Simmons 💪🏿💪🏿💪🏿💪🏿

The homie looks good for his age. He must clean eat.
Silly Q, but why's Daryl Simmons video shaking?
Not a silly question, his phone stand was borrowed just before the interview so he had to improvise and kept apologizing as it dropped 🤭
Such a cool guy
The silent partner
Wonder Troy Hughes 🔥🔥🔥
Daryl, that's incorrect: not all people in the bedroom are producers, many and most are beatmakers. Big big massive difference.
