can't compare nobody out now to peebles because she had the right connections and had enough cross over without crossing over.
yeah she is unsung because she came along during a time that the door was opened by a Janet Jackson, a Jody watley which allowed a Peebles to cross over.
yeah the facts
she had some big hits and she took "girlfriend" from vanessa Williams and in some ways they mirrored one another as artists though Williams got more talent overall IMO.
what some folks don't know is that peebles was on the ground with La and babyface before they really took off.
gotta remember girlfriend hit right around the time the deeles two occasions and the other stuff Laface had out at the time.
Peebles got with LA Reid and her ex hand a price tag on LA's head and him and face hauled booty to the ATL in fear.
Peebles had some Suge Knight in his guts and she pimped TLC and got that get back.
Peebles was a low 2nd tier high 3rd tier act at best, however assocation made her seem more of a threat.
she did have a 3rd album however it went wood.
and no money was on her once TLC took off and she broke up with LA.
yeah she co write "Whip Appeal" for Babyface and they wanted to give it to Prince who turned it down.
anyway that song hit big time and again Peebles being in the right place at the right time.
Love makes things happen hit as a duet with her and Face and again timing and selling them off as duet couple.
rewind for a minute her ex paid out of pocket every Producer and writer on her debut album.
he had crazy cake and street cred, Peebles got turned out long ago.
"Loves train" by COn funks shun is about her. crazy stuff.
Peebles hooked up Tracy Edmounds on to Babyface and that was another company production if you will.
anyway Peebles got TLC and had a deal that linned her pockets up. had she and LA made it together longer she and him would have gotten there SUgar Hill records on. Peebles was all street on that paper work.
when la and babyface split up ad Laface got sold Peebles got taken care of nicely.
her first two albums went gold and i think the 2nd one went platinum.
TLC had to pay her 3 milion to buy the name back so i know she got some serious cake and bank. Peebles got some Pimp in that blood stream and she ain't nothing nice.
if the true story of LA and Babyface ever came out it would be a motion picture and book you couldn't put down.
i call her the ELi Manning because she been hit and miss and then throw a haymaker and wins and Win big.
right place, right time and the artists and songs,etc..
peebles helped put laface the Producers on the map and as a label on the map as well so her story is compelling though as a artist one of those acts that you would dig a few things, but the sum ain't as deep as the parts except when you put in association and then she becomes a big time player. mistermaxxx R.Kelly, Michael Jackson,Stevie wonder,Rick James,Marvin Gaye,El Debarge, Barry WHite Lionel RIchie,Isleys EWF,Lady T.,Kid creole and coconuts,the crusaders,kc sunshine band,bee gees,jW,sd,NE,JB
