I’m glad Bobby got to experience the solo success he did even if it was for a few years bc his peak was MASSIVE! In 1989 he outsold every other popular artist at the time with Don’t Be Cruel. Performance wise Bobby had James Brown/Michael Jackson type of stage presence. And he was arguably just as good of a dancer in his peak. He wasn’t traditionally a great singer like a Michael Jackson, Luther Vandross, El Debarge, or Johnny Gill but he carried his own vocally in his songs. Bobby shined on stage that’s why he’s known as the KING OF STAGE! He also was one of the first popular r&b artists that consistently rapped in his songs. Him and Teddy Riley were the main pioneers of the New Jack Swing sound that dominated r&b/pop music from the late 80s to early 90s.

He was a New Edition member and a huge solo star in the late 1980s through the early 1990s. Every Little Step is one of the best songs in music history, as is this song and others of Bobby's.

What I love about music is that you feel like the song is about you but at the same time, you can identify with the singer/performer. Music is the ultimate unifier. Even though I am not a guy, the song resonates with me. I've listened to it since the late 80s early 90s to today. It was my go to song when I drove to work in the early 90s to motivate me to not let other people determine my destiny. Like Bobby, I have had my share of people who have tried to control me or write the script for me and it's liberating and energizing to hear this song and sing it and dance to it as a form of personal rebellion.
