-With the smash success of Brandy and Monica's Verzuz(When two artist play a song of theirs versus the other artist, normally 20 songs, and they discuss the making of the song) I thought back to one of the first Verzuz between Keneth 'Babyface' Edmounds and Teddy Riley. While the two legendary producers week great, I felt something was missing. Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis. So I decided to compile a very small list of favorites from their catalogs.
TLC "Baby, Baby,Baby" Written by Babyface
