When the Saints Go Marching In.
- Kirk Whalum
A really cool thing about the Babyface Songbook is this is the first time that Babyface as a songwriter has been elevated to this level... I dou't pretend to be the one elevating him, but our treatment of him has that kind of integrity to it, that kind of dignity. In the pop world, you can be taken seriouslor not. As a pop songwriter, you can be here today and gone tomorrow. Babyface and his music have withstood the test of time. This project is a tribute to a great songwriter in the traditions of Cole Porter, Holland/Dozier and Irving Berlin. They all had the ability, through a lyric or a note, to find the common ground that unites us all, to find that something that thousands and thousands of people can feel intimately and profoundly. That is power, and thau's what these songs have. The music of Babyface goes straight to the heart.
