Are there any? I can't think of one. Does Linda Perry count? I thought she was just a writer.

uhh

Sheryl Crow

uh

There really aren't any working for the major labels. I once mentioned this even at one of my essays.

Wendy (Melvoin) has become an in demand producer with young rock chicks.....


she produced some stuff with Nina Gordon. Madeline Peroioux (sic?) and a new daughters of rock star group that just formed...cant think of their name right now though.

Missy Elliot is the only one I can think of right now. Bernadette Cooper was good back in the day producing the entire Madame X LP. That was really funky.

What I really meant is a producer who produces exclusively, not an artist who does their own production and some side projects. I.E. Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis, Rodney Jerkins, etc.

well, sadly it looks like thats what wendy is slowly becoming...she has been really busy producing and i wouldnt be suprised if this becomes her primary gig.

No new W&L album on the horizon?

sextonseven said:

I was thinking the same thing. I wish Bernadette Cooper was still producing. She's really good. If I were an artist I would want her to produce some tracks for me. I love the Madame X cd!

The Former Mrs.Ron Isley

Lauryn Hill


Well, she used to

sosgemini said:

The only thing that comes to my mind is that pop stars like Janet and Madonna co-producers on their discs and I honestly belive they do the work (especially Madonna). Not many that produce ohter artists, though.

Harlepolis said:

Damn right. Angela is bad.

Hotlegs said:

Yeah, but she's a recording artist also.

sextonseven said:

Yes and one hell of an producer.

Hotlegs said:

Of course, but WhamBamGlamSlam specifically asked for non-recording artists.

Didn't Beyonce claim to have produced tracks on Survivor?

sextonseven said:

oops, I guess that eliminates Beyonce (if she really did produce anything anyway)

VinnyM27 said:

you had to pick the two worst examples of this ehh? shoot, if Wham didnt ask to exclude these types of artist I think Kate Bush, Bjork or heck Tori Amos are better examples then them two.

Enough prattle and conjecture , go here for some insight:

I've had the pleasure of dealing with Leslie Ann Jones at Skywalker over the years.
Spoke with her at the N.A.B. (National Association of Broadcasters) last week. Great lady!

No, Wham did not specifyif the producer had to be a non-recording artist actually you made that requirement.

sosgemini said:

I would agree with you about Kate Bush especially. She is brillant producer and songwriter.

WhamBamGlamSlam said:

twas this?

andyman91 said:

She is no producer

Obviously, but didn't they claim that?
