12 million albums, not streams, not .99 cent singles. If you wanted music back in the day the ish had to be damn good for people to spend money on an entire album. Bobby was a bad dude and pioneered the hip hop r&b movement. He put a sharp edge on r&b when it had been soft love ballads. B-Brown is the original hip hop r&b bad boy.

People forget that when he came out as a solo artist....he was the probably the youngest dude out there and he wasn't light skinned with no greasy jeri curled...even the girls back then didn't think he was the most talented or the most attractive in New Edition...Ralph Tresvant was the one they liked....but when Bobby came out with that second album "Don't Be Cruel",,,,especially him hoping out of the Mercedes Benz with the jewelry ....pumping on stage, then he had the Gumby haircut on Every Little Step....He gave Usher and Chris Brown the Blueprint to be successful in R&B and cross over to the Pop Charts without selling out...Teddy Riley always gets a lion's share of the credit for the music but LA and especially Babyface were the ones who created the sound that fitted him like a glove!

His style of dress was awesome and unique for his personality. Bobby was the man. He feared nothing and was ready to take his career to the limit. His i dont give a dam attitude hooked on to many and they took notice. Bobby demanded the stage and took control. Yes he did all that. He has since paid a high price for it all..and to this very day. Bobby is Bobby..a much slower wiser Bobby!! But all my hopes for him. He made my youth a place i can go back and visit and say thanks Bobby for the fun days!!! You were a bright spot!💗💗💗💗💗💗

Johnny Gill Was Successful, In His Solo Career. But Again Bobby Brown, Sold More Records, And Had Huge Album Sales. Bobby Brown Paved The Way, For Alot Of Artist Today.

[@mauricescribner7025]

Donna Crenshaw wooo you love Bobby Brown and there is no crime in that BUT do not create new facts by forgetting the historic facts, when we talk about impactful trend setting pop/rock R-n-B male artist it begins and ends with James Brown whom if you look at their performances, singing, the ad-libs, band performances etc Micheal, Prince, Lenny Kravitz all took a little something from JB and so did Bobby, think I'm lying look up James Brown performances. Classic era of hip-hop late 80's- 90's which god fathered New Jack Swing which was Bobby's specific lane no doubt...but all of that came from James Brown. Much of James Brown's music was sampled by NWA, Public Enemy, Heavy D, Salt-n-Pepa, Notorious BIG, EPMD etc. Also current hip-hop artist such Jay, Kanye and Kendrick sampled JB....who's sampling Bobby? Chris Brown may be the bad boy but he dances when Usher dances when Neyo dances most people refer back to Michael Jackson who credits James Brown. Bobby was the man for his generation hands down. Don't Be Cruel is a classic album however his follow-up was not as popular. After 1992, he never released another successful solo record again. Best there is, hmmm Best there Was blaah, Best there ever will be, how bout na. More like best from 1988-1992

[@JeremyForest]

Bobby Brown is definitely ICONIC, but...his impact in R&B music was remarkable. When he was voted out of New Edition, and launched his solo career...he changed the face of R&B. He blended Hip-Hop with R&B/Soul at the time of the New Jack Swing era, and made it marketable into Pop music, which led his 1988 sophomore album, "Don't Be Cruel" an instant smash, and the best selling album of 1988. With the production of Teddy Riley, Kenneth "Babyface" Edmonds, Antonio "L.A." Reid, and Darryl Simmons, he was crowned the "King Of R&B."

Well we know the rest. I knew then Bobby was going to be something to reckon with and he has certainly made his mark on the group and the industry. It was his PREROGATIVE.

@Chuck Anya I see where you're going with that, but Bobby brought a specific urban and unapologetically masculine sex appeal to his stage presence and musical expressions, that was unlike anything we ever seen prior to him. James laid the foundation. He was soul, rock n roll, funk and authentically black in his expressions, but his conk/perm hairstyle was an apology. His utterances were more rural than urban. He also lacked the sex appeal of Bobby.

[@DavidRichardson95]

Bobby Brown has lived, seen and done it all. I remember being seven and watching the Whitney Houston 20/20 interview with my mother, and from that point on, everybody blamed Bobby for Whitney's downfall and spiral into her drug addiction. It's unfortunate what transpired with his former wife and her only daughter. If they was only able to live their lives, and not be bombarded with overt criticism, Whitney and Bobbi Kristina would still be alive. RIP. Bobby Brown without a doubt is the original R&B _bad boy_ long before Chris Brown, Jodeci, and countless others came. Two of his albums are classics, and his music videos especially _Every Little Step_ is iconic in itself. From the album, Gumbi hairstyle, fashion, persona and stage presence, Bobby Brown did it all, and was the first. And he's the only NE member with a Grammy. The _Don't Be Cruel_ album still knocks in 2018, and everyone (especially Bruno Mars) wants to bring that vintage R&B/new jack swing flavor back to the mainstream and pop charts. I only wished I had grown up in that era. And watching the archives, it seemed like a _helluva_ lot of fun. I will be watching in two weeks!! IDC what anyone says, it's time for BB to tell his truth. Point blank period.

Bobby Brown stage presence had remained unmatched...he could sing...dance...and engage the audience all at the same damn time. As far as the greatest Prince, Michael...they were iconic...but they didn't have that performance blend to the naturally perfected balance like Bobby did...Prince and Michael became entranced in their own performances...often going into another realm and leaving the audience behind... Bobby performed with peripheral vision...staying in tune and engaged from start to finish. In the same right as Whitney...some many stellar God given elements combined to make the singular unique talent....next to impossible to duplicate that level of authenticity.

[@memeflower9006]

I'm a 70's kid, and I have grown up through the many changes of music from that time, I would listen to my parents old 45's records and many of those songs became mines. My dad loved Motown, Marvin Gaye, and my mom loved the O'Jays Chaka Khan and many others, from that era, I fell in love with Marvin Gaye. To me if there were someone else who would be called The King of R&B it would be Marvin Gaye, the man was a MUSICAL GENIUS his music is TIMELESS, and I still listen to it today. I am still moved about the way he left US ( which is one of the reason why I love Bobby Brown). Growing up in the Jackson Five, Motown, and Michael Jackson era, I really learned to love music, and appreciate the Art form, the Artist, and it's place in history. So when my generation of music came around I fell in love with an artist of N.E. When I was old enough to go to concerts, my first one was N.E, and the Fat Boys. The Fat Boys open the show ( and I feel they are so under rated as hop hop artist, I love them to), then out came N.E singing all of their hit songs of that time, then came Mr. Telephone man, and HE stepped to the Mic to sing one of the leads on the song and I was in love with HIM from that day forward. It was Mr. Bobby Brown, and I have followed his music, life, and entertainment ever since then. So yes I am glad to see this day when this MAN is finally recognized for his music, I don't want to get into the WAR ( ALL opinions are RESPECTED) on whether or not this is TRUE cuz that would take to long and a wast of time for me, because NO MATTER what ANYONE says This man has help to make MUSIC HISTORY, like him or not, and well I like him. I have grown to appreciate many artist come and gone, past and present. I have learn to love each artist uniqueness so I really don't compare artist, or anyone, I appreciate them for who THEY are. I love many old school jams and some new, but to ONE am I a real FAN. I love HIM, his raw ability to entertain, his music and who HE is. That is MR.

[@jamaalw8556]

Glad he didnt have to die for people to give him his props. He did it all first period.

[@bfnfamily]

I don't care what y'all say. Bobby is iconic!

#BOBBYBROWN IS THE KING OF R&B COME THRU CAN'T WAIT TO SEE THE MOVIE

[@andrewstaples8677]

If it wasn't it wouldn't be a r kelly

[@amaurysabreu1012]

1989 Bobby performed at the Mary Curley in Jamaica Plain (Boston MA) I was in the 8th grade. I have been to many concerts after that but will never forget how he put his all into performing. The Curley was a madhouse the day. This was when was BOSTON was bout it.

[@greenghost3756]

Usher, Chris Brown and others should be on here singing his praise cause they know stole Bobby's style from head to toe not just Michael Jackson

[@youngharrio]

green ghost they always give MJ his props, but Bobby was what they wanted to be!

[@aprilashley17]

We love you Bobby!!!💗💜💕💗💜💕💕

[@RandomBlackGamer]

lol dunno why I always laugh at Woody Mccain reenacting that "Girlfriend" music video.

[@rukawa23gold]

1989...... He dance and he grooves with his own atyle ..

[@jackiejacksful]

If there is a visual that epitomises who BB is just watch the Thug Lovin' video.....those high kicks (pun intended) are E V E R Y T H I N G!

[@brandonbates9259]

All I need is a stage dog(bobby brown voice) lol

[@tahirablacknall9782]

He was high as a kite in that video. His lips tell it all.

[@pCOCKPRO11]

I remember the first time l heard that song (my military years), l couldn't believe dude had another hit (I've been a huge fan) it sounded good, can't remember how it was received but l was going APE SHIT for him. That line, "All we need is a stage..."

[@Halle2323]

Bob was dat dude...🙌🏾

[@funkibaydawood4751]

There's something I always tell to people but they don't understand... If Bobby didn't drop the Don't Be Cruel album, the Great M.J wouldn't have released the marvelous Dangerous album we all know today.

[@DynamicallyDC]

Bobby is definitely a legend! 👑❣🙌🏽 Looking forward to watching!! 🙂🍿

[@guerdacherestal8367]

Put some respect on Bobby 's name the king of R&B ❤❤🎉🎉

[@saravdcd]

Thanks BET. He deserved not only this honor of doing a movie on his life but to be able to tell his truth. Glad you’re still with us and doing well Mr. Brown. I wore out Every Little Step when I was a tween! Ha!

[@da1king0fwakanda56]

The New Edition Story was already amazing, The Bobby Brown story is gonna be dope too. I can’t wait, I knew Algee Smith was coming back as Ralph, I didn’t know everyone else was too.

[@QuiQui96]

21 n here, Bobby outfits was fire 🔥

[@treet9791]

Bobby was so...cute Back in the Day. I see why you got with him Whitney. My favorite songs by Bobby..Tenderoni and Don't be Cruel.

[@romancetrtmusic]

love bobby will still be one of my favs much respected! his music always moves me!

[@kwamegray3949]

Badboyz wasn't singing R&B until Bobby Brown.

[@ceeceetracey9839]

Bobby had a vision and New Edition wasn't cuttin it

[@briancarney3443]

Never seen anything close at that time that even closely resembled Bobby's Presence. To this day it is magic to go back and relive Mr. Brown. A True Auteur of Music Artistry .

[@danielnelson6903]

Exactly. His work ethic when he REALLY wanted it and his love for performing was outmatched. 1988-1993 it’s was Bobby’s time.🔥💯

[@patttyannhudson]

Not everybody hated Bobby Brown back in the day me and my friends loved everything about him and was Happy for him and Whitney, if you ever saw him in other ways you would realize he was a very loving person he was never perfect but I don't know anyone that is

[@davonjones8402]

Can we get a video on how they re-recorded the music for the movie

[@davonjones8402]

@Lena 95 Leon only sung 1 song for woody in the new edition movie he was not used for the Bobby brown story.. Woody did his own singing with auto tune and voice enhancer

[@davonjones8402]

He wasn't involved at all on the Bobby brown story it's all woody and what woody.. They had to dub/auto tune and inhznce his voice so it would so clezn

[@davonjones8402]

Lol Leon is a choreographer that taught him the dance for my prerogative performance in the new edition story go back and watch the video the Leon he was speaking of was the choreographer in the video that was teaching him the steps lol

[@prod.deadmemes5105]

Lena 95 leon Thomas sang for my prerogative 2 years ago for the new edition story in 2016

[@nuknuknuk111]

BET should make a 3 part 2pac series but this time get that shit right!

[@columbusohio72]

Naw no more tupac. Its the same damn story

[@jahsunhazel9504]

If Jada hands ain on it, i don't wanna see it!

[@Lord2wiceAsReal]

Facts Tupac story is too phenomenal for it to be told in one setting it should have multiple parts to it from start to end with the actual TRUTH & FACTS with no Hollywood bullshit just the true story of a legend & global icon that touched millions 💯

[@marquespowell2661]

Yes Great idea 4 part series or movie for Tupac

[@amenahking7863]

This man had me dancing so hard at the skating rink that I lost weight and my clothes didn't fit when I got home. 😂😂 Bobby Brown was everything I needed to see on a stage and his unapologetic swag opened doors for youngsters to freely do dances that he got arrested for. After all the good and bad he's experienced, he's still the man. Peace and blessings to him and his family.

[@emmathea1]

BOBBY BROWN IS THE KING OF STAGE AND THE ULTIMATE BAD BOY OF R&B, HE IS ONE OF A KIND AND I 💖 BOBBY FOR THAT.

[@mandybaende4199]

Emma the A1 I agree! The first bad boy RNB

[@staceydupree8488]

Such a talented man that took a lot of heat from people trying to put him down. Love this segment 🙏🏽❤️

[@TheGiftof7PRESENTS]

Got to meet Bobby and chop it up with him, also sat in on a interview a few years back at the TJFR here in Orlando. Kool & Real Kat. Dap👊🏽🎶

[@dexterbernard2701]

None if them would exist without Marvin, the real King of R&B. You know your iconic when you recognized by one name. I'll give Bobby B. his props. When he first appeared on Arsenio back in '88, I believe, I thought to myself while watching his performance, this is the next Marvin Gaye.

[@mascarus29]

He's the dopest rnb thugg to hit rnb period

What everyone isn’t realizing is, Bobby had real fame. The only two black male artists that had more fame than Bobby was Prince and MJ....that says a whole lot!!!

[@ralphdawkins9041]

R Kelly is always gonna be ahead of Bobby Brown. Kellz is the UNDISPUTED KING OF R&B

[@nikkiowens128]

From Bobby came Usher, Omarion, and Chris Brown. They are his legacy

[@sheldonthomas1951]

Don’t be Cruel is my favorite album of all time, thank you God for giving us this legend “ Bobby Brown “...BIG LOVE!!!

[@ThinkPIONEERing]

Bobby brown in his prime could probably whoop half today’s Hip hop artists in a fist fight.

[@hiawathareneepattersontran3431]

Bobby was Bobby and no one wanted to give him his credit, always had a energetic show, a true performer.

[@KinToNatTuner]

Can't wait!🤗💥💣

[@ricai132]

[@kenthanos]

I was listening to soulful oldies and some country music only and Bobby B busted out with his single second album and I was changed and couldn't sit down and i was bouncing off the walls through the whole nineties.

Bobby brown is the epitomy of my childhood Mchammer Mj and Bobby Brown taught me how to dance these are some of my very first examples of rhythm and dance moves of that era.

[@thegamingchef3304]

Bobby is a legend. Top 5 favorite artist. Favorite R&B artist. New Jack swing, what an era. Caught the end of it, but glad I got to witness it. Bobby doesn't get enough credit. Dude had a sound he wanted and went to Teddy Riley to create the sound & he got it. That Hip-hop & R&B sound. Whitney Houston was sent to destroy him. Bobby coulda been large.

[@ThePicasoBlack]

You know what? I think you right, bro. Turns out WH was the one tweaking. Great vocalist, yeah, but she drug dude down.

[@teddyjam8134]

A man who had the confidence to embrace a solo career, and the humility to appreciate a group that helped to embody who he is as an entertainer. B. Brown we outta here!!
