On this day in music history: December 1, 1990 - Im Your Baby Tonight by Whitney Houston hits #1 on the Billboard R&B singles chart for 2 weeks, also topping the Hot 100 for 1 week on the same date. Written and produced by L.A. Reid and Babyface, it is the fourth R&B and eight number one single on the pop chart for the superstar vocalist. Amid criticism from fans and critics that her music has become too pop, Houston will be paired with the superstar R&B production team of L.A. & Babyface (having produced fifteen R&B number ones at that point) to re-establish Houston with her black fanbase. The title track first single to Whitneys third album, it is released in October, more than a month ahead of the full length. Entering the Hot 100 at #42 on October 20, 1990, it will climb to the top of the chart six weeks later. Baby will also become the first number one pop single for L.A. & Babyface as songwriters and producers. Im Your Baby Tonight is certified Gold in the US by the RIAA.
