Is It Good to You
Teddy Riley · 1991Teddy Riley recorded 'Is It Good To You' featuring vocalist Tammy Lucas for the motion picture soundtrack to Juice, reworking a track he had previously produced for Heavy D & the Boyz into a fully realised R&B lead vehicle built around Lucas's vocals, produced at Riley's Future Recording Studios in Virginia Beach. Released on the MCA Records Juice soundtrack in 1991, the track reached number 3 on the UK Official Singles Chart and demonstrated Riley's ability to transform a hip-hop-centred production into a crossover R&B record, while the Juice soundtrack itself became one of the defining hip-hop film soundtracks of the era. The track remains one of Tammy Lucas's signature performances and stands as a textbook example of Teddy Riley's production at its New Jack Swing peak, its bass-driven groove and Lucas's fluid delivery continuing to attract listeners to the Juice soundtrack decades after its release.
