Tough, but I am going with Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis:
"On Bended Knee"
"Come Back To Me"
"Again"
"Anytime Anyplace"
"Can You Stand The Rain"
"U Remind Me"
"Let's Wait A While"
"Come Back To Me"
"Tender Love"
"Sunshine"

Babyface:
"Another Sad Love Song"
"Roni"
"Rock With You"
"Can We Talk"
"Don't Be Cruel"
"Breathe Again"
"I'll Make Love To You"
"End of The Road"
"Water Runs Dry"
"Every Little Step"
"Red Light Special"
"On Our Own"

Teddy Riley
Invented New Jack Swing
"My Prerogative"
Dangerous Album
Guy Albums
"Rumpshaker"
"Make It Last Forever"
"I Want Her"
"Kissing Game"
"Before I Let You Go"
"Joy" (Though Mike wrote a good part of it)

They've got probably a thousand sounds between them and we all can recite their lyrics and harmonies after 30 years in some cases. Timeless work, but I always believed Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis transcended beyond any decade or era.

3 Grammys for Producer of the Year in a row.

A thread in TheColi about Can We Talk.

Babyface runs shyt. Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis are top-notch still. Actually saw them speak at ASCAP ICreateMusic Expo a couple years ago.
