Babyface "Whip Appeal"

Babyface met his future wife during auditions for the music video to his soulful "Whip Appeal". Tracey Edmonds wound up getting the chicken pox and couldn't take part in the video, but fate took over from there. Babyface later ran into her and the two eventually married in 1992. The couple later divorced in 2005 and, from there, Tracey entered into a "symbolic union" with Eddie Murphy in 2008, but split weeks later.

Pebbles "Love Makes Things Happen"

Pebbles got some help from Babyface in her 1990 ballad "Love Makes Things Happen".

Toni Braxton - "Breathe Again"

Toni Braxton can thank Eddie Murphy's dramedy Boomerang for propelling her career -- but she can also thank Anita Baker for being pregnant.  Let's explain: in the '80s, Braxton originally performed with her sisters in a group named The Braxtons.  The five ladies didn't manage to breakthrough, but Toni's solo effort with "Love Shoulda Brought You Home" on the Boomerang Soundtrack happened by chance.  Anita Baker was supposed to sing the ballad, but she was pregnant at the time and recommended Braxton sing the tune.  The result was Braxton's first solo hit and a record deal with Babyface's LaFace Records.  A year later, Toni released her first solo album with "Breathe Again" achieving Top 5 status on the Adult Contemporary Chart.

Pebbles - "Girlfriend"

There was plenty of drama behind the scenes of the song "Girlfriend".  According to songwriter Antonio "L.A." Reid, he and Kenneth "Babyface" Edmonds intended the song for Vanessa Williams' debut album.  However, Pebbles heard the song and offered Reid more money and two cars for the opportunity to record the song.  Pebbles won and Williams never got to record the song.  "Girlfriend" became Pebbles' signature tune as she turned it into a smash in 1987 (#5 on the Hot 100).  Oh, and as a result Vanessa Williams never spoke to Reid again.
