"A Song for You" live in Japan 1991 Bobby Brown

[@elliee3295]

I like how he let his background singers get some shine

[@nonippy6585]

Bobby always wanted his people to eat! They don’t show that side of him!! His ego was something but, always wanted his PEOPLE to eat!

[@stephenjohnson8426]

Yeah, the male background singer is Harold Travis. He was gonna be one of Bobby's artist on his label. He was the first vocal artist on the song "Drop it on the One." Not sure what happened because Bobby had some talented people on that song including his sister.

[@rochellelee3667]

Bobby posted this on Instagram today & it brought me here. He is singing his HEART OUT! Story of his life in that song...*Tears*

[@christopherquaye1633]

Now I gotta find this post lol

[@monaluv718]

Me too. Love me some B. Brown❤

[@ddrums001]

Actually, it was Leon Russell that originally wrote this tune, but Donny made it popular, but it doesn’t matter, Bobby did the damn thing! Bobby is truly The King of Stage!

[@shirlesef592]

He has a great voice.

[@cherylwhite6698]

Bobby sound nice not everybody can sing this song and sound good ❤

[@bskeete]

Bobby sounds fantastic!!!!!

[@jadenbarr7993]

Omg… outta all songs I never thought I would hear Bobby sing this classic. Literally one of my favorite songs ever. RIP Donny Hathaway!!!!

[@5timeplayoftheyear]

Bobby Brown is a great performer.

[@AngelaJackson-yy4vd]

My Dearest Bobby Brown; I am still that ever loving, die-hard fan. Your vocals always bring me joy to the point of emotional tears. You'll always be King of R&B for me. God bless you.💐💐💐💐❤❤❤❤❤❤

This is the slowest song he ever did. I didn't know he can freak classics. I typically loathe remakes but this live version goes in hard.

[@mufc7753]

He was a young fresh talent , smooth R &B, Hip Hop talent . What a shame what drugs can do.

[@VIRGOLEGACY]

Bobby dont get enough as a vocalist and its a shame the drugs ruined his voice as he got older

[@CleanMusicLover229]

He was never a vocalist

[@robinlight]

VIRGOLEGACY he can still sing

[@digga27one74]

Walter Payton 100% incorrect

[@sinjin4563]

@@CleanMusicLover229 He was first a vocalist dumbass. Bobby Brown gave incredible singing in all of his work since the first song he recorded at 13 years old, Candy Girl. Bobby Brown is one of the most natural, God gifted entertainers of all time and that involves his ability of incredible singing.

Great job Bobby You we’re a great performer in a different space and time. Love 4u brother.

Back in the day. I was here... Wow I realize again his voice is awesome.. "どうもありがとう"

[@nahhuhbucket]

wow, this is really good.

[@weirdlyuniquebih632]

Omg he could really sing

[@IAintY0M0mma]

Well dayum. I was TODAY YEARS OLD when I saw this talent

[@wiltisdabest]

Damn and people say he can't sing.

[@itsLA10]

If it weren't for the drugs and Bobby was able to finish his Mystical Magic album (Follow up to Don't Be Cruel), this song should have been recorded, if it wasn't already. This song, and a true recorded version of "From the Outside," & Tap into My Heart would've changed the whole landscape for R&B/Pop/New Jack. Can't imagine what he left in the table with that unfinished/shelved album

[@wiltisdabest]

Yeah his follow up to don't be cruel should have came much sooner than the Bobby Album. I always wondered why this was shelved? Tap into my heart was a siaaack jam

[@xbigshot1]

Great job on the song, fantastic.........btw, Leon Russell wrote that song, however Donny Hathaway DID make it famous!

[@darleneford8463]

GREAT JOB BOBBY. LOVE YOU MAN.

[@teddrickjohnson2050]

[@wiltisdabest]

Bobby thought donny wrote it, guess it makes sense it was the most popular version

[@gwenbarton2626]

Great song

[@charlita25]

I want his shirt that's hot 🔥🔥

[@cincereqoutes8844]

around the 4:00 mark he turned it up and turned it out!!!!

Great job Bobby very beautiful ❤👏

[@fisherflips]

In his prime right here

Soooo amazing!!!!😮 Sunday, august 20, 2023

[@gearronvinson]

Boy you better sang it.

[@gearronvinson]

Yeah that is one of the biggest lies ever told. Back in the day Bobby B had a pretty good voice. He was not a power singer like Luther, David Ruffin or Johnny Gill but he had a nice voice. Unfortunately, drugs and hard living have robbed him of his talent. His career should have been bigger than what it was.

[@christhomas5761]

I never thought of Luther Vandross as a power singer , his voice was never strong like David Ruffin or Johnny Gill .

[@dorianrichburg7909]

Okay Bobby !!!!!!!! I had no idea

[@09stunts1]

I wonder if that was the same Travis that was originally suppose to be in new edition

[@tlewisisdope]

yup

[@Musicblue22]

@@tlewisisdope what boy can sang5 wonder why they didn't let him make the group he was doing that Johnny gill type of Sangin before Johnny joined the group he would've been way better than Ronnie and Mike

[@jamesb.3869]

Yes it is the same Travis and bobby had him signed under his short lived BBB records. You should listen to his cut off the bbrown posse album. It is pretty good

[@ursulas9906]

Wow, I have always been a fan and would not have given him props...would have even laughed if he told me he was putting in his show. Good stuff Bobby.

[@shaepowell2324]

Bobby did that...saaaaaang Bobby

[@dameyaleroyster2812]

Damn he fucked me up with this one

[@andhikaprasetya1942]

He sounds like Tevin Campbell when he hit high belt, especially at 9:00

[@wiltisdabest]

He really does there. You don't hear Bobby go that high often, especially live.

[@timothyypearson]

Love both Artist but no he doesn't sound like Tevin he sounds like him self Tevins voice is higher bobby always slayed slow songs .

donny hathaway didnt write the song tho

[@jayshoe5107]

the note at 4:59 on repeat 🔥🔥

[@crystalsmith4187]

Bobby was, good singing it, but not better than Whitney, in that Green Jumpsuit. She killed it, she sings, many songs, better than the artist. Puts, it ALL in all her music. Whitney was the BOMB. He had a good career as well, but that's my girl. She puts, it all in everything, she sings. God bless, may she RIP. Job well done.

[@jayw.1042]

Green jumpsuit Whitney DESTROYED that stage lol

[@crystalsmith4187]

In a good way! LOL @@jayw.1042

[@melv5566]

He sang the hell out of this song omg what a legend. Not as good vocally as Whitney but this version is a lil better the way they ran it and kept going .sorry not sorry.

Donnie Hathaway did not write this song,

[@Tiger-n4k]

これは神戸のコンサートですか？

[@marcchesley3731]

It's decent

[@TheGamersGuide819]

He doesn’t have much agility in his voice . It’s not very flexible . But I wonder with training if that could’ve changed .

[@sophisitcated1194]

You think so? He was moving here with his voice.

[@csccsc9780]

he said this song is written by Donny？Liar please，Donny‘s version is probably the best but it was written by Leon Russell

[@undrahodge9602]

Jodi brought me here. Sort of

sounded like a nightmare

[@theresaheck7446]

Ummm 🧐 ummm yes yes baby

[@christopherscott6576]

Carpenters did it first

[@sharkkeeper01]

Nope nope nope….this song is too big for his voice.

[@sophisitcated1194]

I think he did excellent here. I can admit that maybe he should've lowered the key a tad to verify your point.

[@George-lq4li]

He can't sing it right, he ruined it.

[@ursulas9906]

good try tho..I wish he would have sat down and left the shirt on, took it more serious, the stage presence is important too just as much as vocals

[@aj989jones9]

It wouldn’t be bobby brown though lol

[@calhounsista6491]

So its true, Bobby Brown could never sing. This is mediocre at best

[@Jonathan-js3bx]

This is above average for sure

[@wiltisdabest]

He's a better singer than the original artist to be honest. He did this well

@@wiltisdabestlol, you tollin' as you know most people will think you are saying Bobby can sing better that the great Donny Hathaway.. Lol....you are definitely talking about Leon Russell... and although Russell wrote it, I agree with you 1000%.

[@wiltisdabest]

@@Nclght I meant it exactly as I said. Wasn't trying to troll. Of people think this is Donnys song it's not my fault. Bobby did this very well but he ain't no Donny. He's definitely better than Leon vocally.
