Kenny 'Babyface' Edmonds

Gary Barlow - We Write The Songs

Available for over a year

Gary Barlow gets personal with legendary songwriter Kenny ‘Babyface’ Edmonds. He was the man behind the R&B sound of the 90s - writing for everyone from TLC to Whitney Houston. Whilst winning 12 Grammy Awards he brought you anthems like Toni Braxton’s ‘You’re Making Me High’ and Boyz II Men’s ‘End Of The Road’. Find out what it was like recording with Whitney Houston in the studio and why he wrote the vamp to ‘I’m Your Baby Tonight’ so quickly. Kenny also reveals how growing up in Indianapolis shaped his sound and how he handled being a recording artist in his own right.
