tilly willie Depends on what your definition of success is. He sold more records during his solo career. Yet, to this day Michael Bivins is worth more than all of them. That's what learning the business gets you. He doesn't sell records but he doesn't have to...he is a producer and makes money from his artists. I would rather be 2017 Michael Bivins than 1990 Bobby Brown any day.

The greatest selling album of 1989, with 12 million copies sold. Dude was on top of the world.

1988, not 1989. He did win a Soul Train Music Award back in April 89 for Album Of The Year Male.

Tony P If there were a way to restoring Bobby Brown to his former glory, I'd do it. I rather dislike seeing young stars hit big in their youth and just drop the ball on the rest of their careers. Say what you will about Mr. Brown, but he had "it".

+Tiffany Hill, yeah, I agree. C Brown got nothing on Bobby

[@Ninjacatprincess]

uh...not exactly. Chris has malice in him. You don't beat any woman in the face like he did to Rihanna! Bobby and Whitney fought because of drugs. He never beat her in the face and she didn't beat him in the face! Bobby and Whitney were dysfunctional. Chris is just plain evil... : (

[@nicolahughes9007]

This is an 80s masterpiece. His finest hour.

[@marcdillon23]

Regardless of his antics, Bobby was that dood. This song, along with Roni were the highlights of the album in my opinion. His singing voice was crisp on both and especially this. The lyrics were dope. They don't make singers like Bobby anymore. The swagger. The bravado. The style. Long live The King of Stage, Bobby B.

[@snap2114]

Bobby is da king of Swagger!

This was the Jam back in the Late 80s great time to be alive

[@MilkAndCornbreadd]

In my opinion, this is Bobby Brown's best track out of his entire music catalog! The beats are awesomely kick ass, the keyboards are slickly produced, and the vocals are crisp and clear.

[@monicas3195]

Yes Sir!

[@PlayaPotna1984]

Babyface & LA Reid had the chops in hit making back then with writing & composing this. They were a team.

[@MilkAndCornbreadd]

PlayaPotna1984 I knew that information, respectively.

[@johammond2020]

Alexander The Great I totally agree .. I've always thought this song is so fkin DOPE!!! The video isn't really too bad either so this shit's definitely timeless!!! So much fkin SWAG .. that's that new jack .. Teddy Riley shit.. I don't think either one of those guys get their just do .. it's like an era of lost music as far as "mainstream" .. a lot more of this shit still should get way more spins than it does .. you should still hear this track walking around the mall .. throwback stations on satellite .. they just don't play a lot of the new jack when every other band/Artist still get those spins daily!!??
