 NJS4E: New Jack Swing & Urban Music by Andrew Knyte
Teddy Riley was born on October 8, 1967 in Harlem, New York.
It was Teddy's voice and beats that infused Keith Sweat's "I Want Her" with it's irresistible swagger; and Guy's background vocals (atop of Teddy's production) that made Bobby Brown's "My Prerogative" such a Top 40 smash.
Teddy also produced Heavy D's "We Got Our Own Thing," which was an enormously huge hit, and even branched out to the world of gospel music, producing "It's Time" by the Winans with co-producer Bernard Belle.

 Blackstreet: Level II - PopMatters Music Review
No, the Harlem born native Teddy Riley was not the heir apparent to the Harlem icon "Detroit Red", but Riley's signature post-soul sound -- the new jack swing -- was the mystic move that finally wedded the disparate worlds of 1980s R&B and the burgeoning hip-hop movement.
Though Riley was an in-demand producer in the late '80s and early '90s, his musical vision was primarily represented by his group Guy, whose debut self-titled release in 1988 contained new-jack anthems like "Groove Me" and "Teddy's Jam".
Riley of course is one of the figures who challenges this theory in that he weds this technology with his own training and upbringing in the Black church.
