Edward Theodore "Teddy" Riley (born October 8, 1967) is a Grammy Award–winning American singer-songwriter, musician, keyboardist and record producer credited with the creation of the new jack swing genre. Through his production work with Michael Jackson, Bobby Brown, Doug E. Fresh, Today, Keith Sweat, Heavy D., Usher, Jane Child, etc. and membership of the groups Guy and Blackstreet, Riley is credited with having a massive impact and seminal influence on the formation of contemporary R&B, hip-hop, soul and pop since the 1980s.
Teddy Riley was raised in St. Nicholas Houses, Harlem, New York. Riley, a child prodigy since the age of 5, began playing instruments in the church. His uncle, who owned the famed Harlem club The Rooftop, built a studio in the club in which Riley would spend most of his time while growing up. By 14, upstart New York rappers began making music to his tracks. Under the guidance of local music producer Gene Griffin, Riley formed the short-lived group Kids at Work. At the age of 17, Riley produced Kool Moe Dee's 12" single, "Go See the Doctor". Released on an independent label in 1986, the song became a crossover hit, reaching #89 on The Billboard Hot 100. Riley had previously worked on the production of Doug E. Fresh and the Get Fresh Crew's "The Show" in 1985.

Hey, little honey
Ain't got no money
But I'll show you a real good time
You got me spinnin'
I know you're willin',
So let's get down to feelin' fine
You can have a piece, a piece, a piece
A piece of my love
You're stayin' in my house
And you're always on my telephone
But I don't mind as long as you do
What you're been to
I know you're young
But don't have any regrets
You drive me crazy
You're my kind of lady
So please leave a rest for awhile
You know you treat me unkind
But I like your mind, you know
You're just my style
You can have a piece, a piece, a piece
A piece of my love
You're goin' in again
But I hope you're gonna back soon
My temperature is burnin'
And I miss you even more just now
I'm a good lovin' man
And a good lady never forgets
You drive me crazy
You're my kind of lady
So please leave a rest for awhile
You know you treat me unkind
But I like your mind, darling
You're just my style
You can have a piece, a piece, a piece
A piece of my love
You're stayin' in my house
And you're always on my telephone
But I don't mind as long as you do
What you're been to
I know you're young
But don't have any regrets
