Early funkyears of producers Babyface/Kashif/Maurice Starr/Reggie Griffin

Michael "Kashif" Jones , shouting right in the middle.

Face & Griffin (multi-musician Griffin was on Chaka's rendition of "I Feel For You", and on a number of Sugar Hill-productions. Also A&R at Warner Brothers)

Couldn't find their funkjam "Rowdy" on youtube, but here 2 excellent slowjams :

Productions inspired by Zapp & Lakeside :
