Like R&B vocalists from Stevie Wonder to Al Green, Kenny ''Babyface''
Edmonds can take bland or treacly material here, for example, James
Taylor's ''Fire and Rain'' and render it superior to the original with
delicate or atypical phrasing plus sheer commitment. Passion, not
laid-backness, rules on Playlist, a set of originals and covers. Sometimes
Babyface's take is equal to the singer's (Bob Dylan's ''Knockin' on
Heaven's Door''). Less successful: the fussy arrangements on cringers
like Jim Croce's ''Time in a Bottle.'' B
