今天介紹的這位來頭不小

如果你常聽國外的節奏藍調抒情歌

對他一定不陌生

國外很多噲炙人口的歌曲

很多都是出自於他的作品

如瑪丹娜帶著濃厚中國風的"Take A Bow"

Karyn White經典抒情名曲後被曹格中文翻唱"Superwoman"

Boyz II Men打破紀錄連創13週冠軍的"End Of The Road"

以及14週冠軍的"I’ll Make Love To You"

瑪麗亞凱莉與惠妮休斯頓雙天后

首度為動畫「埃及王子」合唱的"When You Believe"

唐妮布雷斯頓最性感之作"Breathe Again"

皆出自才子Babyface之手

就連席琳狄翁、珍娜傑克森、麥可傑克森

TLC、紅粉佳人、瑪麗布萊姬等賣座歌手

都在暢銷專輯中少不了他的創作

不僅1995-1997連續三年抱走葛萊美「年度製作人」大獎

更在1992年開始至1997每年均獲葛萊美獎項加持

創造出80年末、90年初大為走紅的New Jack Swing曲風

成功帶起巴比布朗、寶拉阿巴杜、凱倫懷特、TLC等巨星

身兼製作/撰寫/歌手等身份，同為LaFace Records老闆之一

旗下愛將唐妮布雷斯頓、亞瑟小子、TLC、席亞拉、紅粉佳人、OutKast...

現於歌壇均佔有一席之地

Babyface將節奏藍調與成人抒情的融合

造就新黑人情歌的時尚潮流

溫柔濃情的歌聲更是羅曼蒂克情調的最佳代言人

Babyface創下了一手製作全球1億張專輯/單曲的暢銷紀錄

Babyface的歌聲有種溫暖中帶有纖細情感的特質

此他可以唱出像「For The Cool In You」裡的俏皮

「When Can I See You Again」裡的癡情

他的聲音本身就如他的創作一般具有高度韌性及細膩的技巧

都是值得仔細品味、聆賞的藝術品

他是節奏藍調的聖經和代名詞

他也是Quiet Storm、Smooth R&B、Urban音樂的發明人

他絕對是陶吉吉和Brian McKnight的靈感發源地

這位1959年四月十日出生在印地安那州的準搖滾名人堂候選人

說他點石成金一點也不為過

歷年參與過的唱片、專輯、單曲銷量己超過十億張

在美國告示牌也創造了119首流行榜作品

包括了47首節奏藍調榜冠軍單曲

51首流行榜Top 10

16首流行榜冠軍單曲

十座葛萊美獎〈包括前無古人後無來者的95、96、97年度最佳製作人三連霸〉

還有未來各大頒獎典禮的終生成就人物到搖滾名人堂必定都將是他的囊中之物

今天分享這首是他的個人創作演唱歌曲
