My Funny Valentine
The one song Babyface didn’t write on the soundtrack was Richard Rodgers’, “My Funny Valentine.” Forest Whittaker, who directed the film, asked that the song be included and chose Chaka Khan to sing it. Babyface arranged her version. And he had some pressure on his shoulders. In addition to “Waiting to Exhale” being one of her favorite books, Chaka told Babyface, “This is one of my all-time favorites. I hope you ain’t messed it up.”
