Damn!!! This is my song!!! Though I was just about 4 or 5 when the song came out, I remember it being such an exciting song and I use to want to be just like Pebbles. She seemed like the "it" girl who had men eating out of her hands. What year was this clip from, '87 or '88???

It is funny to see Baby Face in a "backup" role. Also, I cannot help but hear Prince doing this track. It has that kinda feel to it.

"Mercedes Boy" will always be my fave Pebbles song, but "Girlfriend" is cool too, definitely one of her best music.

"Baby, that was much too fast"...Goodnight dear sweet Prince. I'll love you always heart

Wasn't Vanessa Williams mad at Babyface because he gave this song to Pebbles after he had sent it to her for her debut album? I think she found out when the song hit radio and she was PISSED mad . If I remeber correctly she kept going on interviews for her hit debut album "The Right Stuff" saying that you didn't need these so called "Hit" producers to have a great album (Ouch!).

I do remeber Babyface taking time to apologize on BET because he said the song "Fit" Pebbles better. Some BS about Pebbles IS Girfriend (Whatev!) Vanessa had a longer musical career anyway.

Yeah,Vanessa was quite pissed that they gave this song to Pebbles lol They didn't even have the decency to call her and tell her their plans! She found out about their deception when she heard the song on the radio,sung by Pebbles.

Babyface later worked with Vanessa on one of her 90s albums,so I guess all is forgiven.
