Bobby Brown's "Every Little Step," Boyz II Men's "End of the Road," Whitney Houston's "Exhale (Shoop Shoop)," Eric Clapton's "Change the World," and Toni Braxton's "You're Makin' Me High" represent a small fraction of the Top Ten pop hits he has written and/or produced. Their considerable success has been augmented by an even richer body of outside songwriting and production work. His solo recordings, highlighted by the all-platinum streak of Tender Lover (1989), For the Cool in You (1993), and The Day (1996), helped rejuvenate the R&B tradition of the smooth, sensitive crooner and made his voice a staple of urban contemporary radio. As a singer, producer, songwriter, and label executive, Babyface has been an inescapable presence in virtually every major facet of pop music since his commercial emergence in the late '80s.
