美國歌壇天王製作人［娃娃臉］──Quiet Storm／節奏藍調抒情曲──［Whip Appeal／鞭打的吸引力］

Somebody told me

There'd be trouble at home

'cause we never talk a lot

When we spend time alone

So how are we supposed to know

Know when something is wrong

Well, we've got a right to communicate

It keeps a happy home

And no one does it like me

And no one but you

Has that kind of whip appeal on me

Keep on whippin' on me

Work it on me

Whip all your sweet sad lovin' on me

Keep on whippin' on me

Work it on me

Whip all your sweet sad lovin' on me

When we go to work

How the day seems so long

The only thing I think about

Can't wait 'til we get home

'cause we got a way of talking

And it's better than words

It's the strangest kind of relationship

Oh, but with us it always works

And no one does it like me

And no one but you

Has that kind of whip appeal on me

Whatever you want

It's alright with me

'cause you've got that whip appeal

So work it on me

It's better than love

Sweet as can be

You've got that whip appeal

So whip it on me

Keep on whippin' on me

Work it on me

Whip all your sweet sad lovin' on me

Keep on whippin' on me

Work it on me

Whip all your sweet sad lovin' on me

And no one does it like me

And no one but you

Has that kind of whip appeal on me

Hook 4 times

Keep on whippin' on me

Work it on me

Whip all your sweet sad lovin' on me

Keep on whippin' on me

Work it on me

Whip all your sweet sad lovin' on me

１９８９年夏天　３０歲的美國歌壇的當紅製作人娃娃臉（Babyface）發行第二張大碟［Tender Lover］

前兩首主打［It’s No Crime］, ［Tender Lover／溫柔愛人］皆拿到黑人榜冠軍

前者登上Billboard單曲榜＃７　後者登上單曲榜＃１４

登上美國單曲榜＃１４ 成為他連續第二首黑人榜冠軍

１９９０年２月　娃娃臉推出第三主打［Whip Appeal／鞭打的吸引力］

此曲由他跟黑人美女歌手Pebbles合寫　內容性暗示強烈, 但不猥褻

娃娃臉與他的搭檔L. A. Reid將其製作成一首Quiet Storm的節奏藍調抒情曲

［Whip Appeal］登上美國單曲榜＃６

在黑人榜（R&B榜）, 則成為娃娃臉連續第三首冠軍曲（事業連續第四首）

隔年提名葛萊美最佳R&B男歌手

由於連續三首成功單曲大碟［Tender Lover］至今在美賣出三百萬張

娃娃臉在尋找MV女主角的試鏡中遇到未來老婆Tracey Edmonds

但後者卻因生水痘沒入選

後來因緣際會遇到幾次, 促成兩人相戀, １９９２年結成連理（２００５年離婚）
