Mary J. Blige's My Life: Where Are They Now?

Bronx native Herb Middleton co-produced "You Gotta Believe" and "I Never Wanna Live Without You" with Diddy and Chucky Thompson. In the years since, he’s steadily built a resume as a solid behind-the-scenes R&B songwriter and producer, working with Total, SWV and Kenny Latimore. His most recent collaborators include Raheem Devaughn, the Sounds of Blackness and gospel artist Deanna Ransom, who’s signed to NuVybe Records, the indie imprint Herb runs with his wife.
