babyface has an incredible talent for getting the right songs with the right ppl

There should be a story or movie about L. A Reid and Baby Face from school age up until and through their musical careers. What a great inspiration that would be for young boys and girls from around the world from all ethnic backgrounds.

Damn, Pebbles wasn't lying when she said "I can be a trip" in that song. Bahahaha!

VANESSA WILLIAMS. Is a class act.

THIS will forever be one of my FAVORITE interviews of my career...Thanks LA REID

I could totally hear Vanessa Williams singing Girlfriend!

Honestly, I believe Vanessa Williams would have tore the song Girlfriend up, but like L.A said, that song was Pebbles. Girlfriend was the signature song of Pebbles' career.

Both songs are Classics!! Love them both!!! Man Pebbles was the girl back in the day!!

“I’m still a businessman; I don’t get no #royalties off of “Always!” DAmN😳

I didn't know that LA was such fun. I always thought he was reserved and more fatherly serious🤩

The song "Girlfriend" was made perfectly for Vanessa Williams' voice, although Pebbles sang it! I know it hurt Vanessa's feelings, especially after the way the Miss America pageant ditched her, and how the public unreasonably criticized her for some photos an evil photographer released without her consent. LA Reid was wrong for that! However, Vanessa's successful career, far above Pebbles, was the sweetest revenge!! Hmmm... Pebbles who?? Lol

What a coincidence....I'm listening to Pebble's greatest hits....Always, of course

Pebbles is the shit I got her playing in CD player in the car right now and her bad ass cuz Cherrelle.

Pebbles nutty as hell!!!And LA Reid👀Crazy too!!!Lol

pebbles was the first oakland bad girl 👊👊👊

LA aged gracefully.

Some people are addicted to unhappiness. 😳

stop hating on Pebbles... she was the Shhhh back in the day. I still like her music.

Great stories. I can watch these all day. I just got the book in the mail last night.

perfect example of men being suckers for pretty women, you can tell Pebbles was crazy hell she never smiled in her music videos pretty women play men and get away with murder

Aawwww she wrote “Always” for him ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

" You still couldn't see anything wrong?......" I was done at that point! 5:30

love the way pebbles handle him. Men do things and think they can get away with it

Pebbles is a double whammy - beautiful and cray cray 😃😃😃😄

Any man would flatter with that kind of attention from a beautiful woman like Pebbles , that woman would make the hardest man surrender.

Pebbles was something else! Packs up his current girlfriend clothes and takes it to her personally and ends the relationship for him. She basically laid her claim and just took her man! WOW!

I believe Babyface liked Peebkes because Babyface married Tracy she looks similar.

If L.A. was not rich & famous dude would not have women fighting over him.

Omg! I could really see vanessa singing that song

"MEN DON'T SETTLE DOWN, THEY SURRENDER!" -CHRIS ROCK

Who knew! Love this!!! Nothing like talent that reads and research 👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿💯

Pebbles was determined to have LA she’s a thug 😂 she took the gf shit and moved it out, like dam Pebbles didn’t play!!! 😂😂😂

I stand by this in the 90s I thought Pebbles was the most beautiful woman I had ever seen (in a platonic way)

Pebbles is n was gorgeous...absolutely gorgeous

Ilk...pebbles is too cute for him

Good interview. I like all the songs mentioned.

Pebbles is no joke!

Antonio Reid ain't never lied about how some (insecure) people love when someone fights for/over them. HE was double crazy for messing with a married woman and "cheating" on her. Sane people are not attracted to crazy people. He's fortunate that her husband didn't come for him! Proverbs 6: 20 My son, obey your father’s commands, and don’t neglect your mother’s instruction. 21 Keep their words always in your heart. Tie them around your neck. 22 When you walk, their counsel will lead you. When you sleep, they will protect you. When you wake up, they will advise you. 23 For their command is a lamp and their instruction a light; their corrective discipline is the way to life. 24 It will keep you from the immoral woman, from the smooth tongue of a promiscuous woman. 25 Don’t lust for her beauty. Don’t let her coy glances seduce you. 26 For a prostitute will bring you to poverty, but sleeping with another man’s wife will cost you your life. 27 Can a man scoop a flame into his lap and not have his clothes catch on fire? 28 Can he walk on hot coals and not blister his feet? 29 So it is with the man who sleeps with another man’s wife. He who embraces her will not go unpunished. 30 Excuses might be found for a thief who steals because he is starving. 31 But if he is caught, he must pay back seven times what he stole, even if he has to sell everything in his house. 32 But the man who commits adultery is an utter fool, for he destroys himself. 33 He will be wounded and disgraced. His shame will never be erased. 34 For the woman’s jealous husband will be furious, and he will show no mercy when he takes revenge. 35 He will accept no compensation, nor be satisfied with a payoff of any size.

I wished there was a demo or something with Vanessa singing Girlfriend… I could definitely hear her singing it & she would’ve tore it up!🔥🔥

She (Sister Perri Reid aka Pebbles) still loves him, because she still uses his last name, even though she's married to someone else.

I need to finish reading his bio. Pebbles was the girl back in the day. I liked Vanessa, but I do not see her taking "Girlfriend" to the top of the charts. LaFace was diabolical back in the day. Do not get it twisted. Pebbles is hood with class. Royalty-free "Always" gets curved. It is all good.

Luv the back stories💯🎶💯

I LOVED me some Pebs! She had the style and swag!

The trash part is that after Vanessa and LA shook hands, she had to find out from other people that he gave the song to Pebbles. That's the real reason why she never talked to him again. LA is always caught up in some shadiness with business... like those fake Michael Jackson songs.

Good interview. Interesting stuff.

Love him!

She’s a great interviewer

Wow Pebbles was off the chain

5:44 (Martin Lawrence voice) Crazyyy.... Derangged.....

best interview!! love this

Wow. Perspective. But it pretty much double confirms what alot of folks my age already knew. Pebbles. Was. Crazy. Period.

She'll make the toughest homeboy fall deep in love?

LA Reid and Babyface ( before their success) were young men who never got no play and was not most women's type ( especially black women) so naturally when one strikes gold ( making money) all the things you never had ( pretty women...nice cars... beautiful homes...etc) are now "accessible". Most men usually fall victim because it's something that they never experienced? What men don't know is when you meet a pretty woman....the last thing you wanna do is compliment her on how beautiful she is.......she's heard that all her life and they know this already. In Pebble's case....she's a Oakland Pimpstress and L.A. Reid was out of his league trying to pursue her? Strip away all the music, success , money and accessibility from L.A. Reid and he would have never tried to put his bid in with a woman like Peb and women like Peb would of NEVER given L.A. or Babyface the time of day.? Beauty is powerful.... especially to those who never had it? When I look into L.A.'s eyes....there's something strange or "unsolved" about him??? Something is not right in there?🙏

Homegirl hair laid

hahaha I love this

Vanessa would have killed that song!!

She's a beautiful woman, and a Virgo! I love being a Virgo!

Pebbles my type a girl! She was not playing!

I guess we now know What Giving You The Benefit was about lmfao

They are the Bonnie and Clyde of the music industry. Robbing all these naive artist...smdh

Vanessa would have sounded better singing it. Pebbles can carry a tune but Vanessa is a stronger singer

This interview is entertaining. I like Pebbs and Vanessa but I tried but I just cant see Vanessa doing "Girlfriend"

Still, VANESSA WILLIAMS Career Skyrocketed!!!!!!

Wow every little step

Vanessa would have sang song as good or better than Pebbles. Reid got laid with Pebbles and there you have it. Vanessa wasn't about that, so they moved on with the song.

So, no red flags went up for any of this? At any point?

What a great story. Siccum Pebbles😂

When your side chick meets your girlfriend

Pebbles was beautiful in gangster dudes love that...

This sounds like the love triangle/love square discussed in the book 'Waiting in Vain' by Colin Channer

Love me some pebbles.

I worked for him and then wife pebbles as their chef. Monsters! I helped la lose alot of weight, but he'd sneak food. Oh the fights that went on between those two.

DAM THATS CRAZY

It had to have been the money and position for him and pebbles to hook up.

🔥🔥🔥 AKA BANDIT-DarkSide 🔥🔥🔥 Unsigned Artist

I agree with ton Roberts if he didn't have money she would not have given him the time of day. and I did not know she was married to someone else. they kept that quiet.

Immature men need that kind of attention...money or not

The thing is Babyface was the man behind the music. Reid was there for the ride.

I love Pebbles swag. wow.

This story is wild. Although, when I listen to love songs sung by females, in my mind they are singing either about or to me. I actually feel their their lyrics.

4:19 - So that was the inspiration for the Paula Abdul song, *_Knocked Out_*, eh?

💜

Does anyone think that Tracey Edmonds looks like Pebbles?

Thin line between love and hate...lol

Damm babyface n la Reid lost pebbles Karyn white damn they had talent women n the crew

Such a disgrace...

Matter of the heart my foot! It was a matter of an opportunity! But that's my dude right there so, whatever🤔💥💥💥

Virgos rule the world right Peebles.

Did the Paula Abdul incident occur when she choreographed for Janet Jackson?

LA Reid had some serious issues.

Rest in the good news ⚘ 🌚 👍 okay bye

Well babyface has never been wrong with the right artist singing a song. Giggles he stupid he said let's play every little step cause I dont get no royalties off of always I'm still a business man. Hell naw giggles

Who knew? Lol

Pebbles should of got with BabyFace,,, But I think Babyface didnt want to lose LA Reid as A friend

Well, ...

Didn’t he cheat on Pebbles with Chilli from TLC?

Girlfriend shoulda been Nessas!

is that Mrs Jennifer Holiday and I'm telling you herself

It was a handshake for the devil...a contract with the devil

Look! Mostly all of the Single Producers usually have a affair with who they produce. That is the nature of the game. The ladies are sometimes under pressure if you know what I mean.
