Teddy Riley: The Life of Riley
Amy Linden, The Source, April 1999
WITH SMASHES like Bobby Brown's 'My Prerogative' (1988) and Johnny Kemp's 'Just Got Paid' (1988), Teddy Riley invented New Jack Swing and forever changed the sound of R&B. With his acts Guy and Blackstreet, Riley took the male vocal group to new heights. And via his work with Doug E. Fresh and Heavy D, Riley put rap classics on the charts as well.
