Bobby Brown

Bobby Brown was so cool he pioneered a whole new genre of music.
It didn’t last all that long, but New Jack Swing was pretty big in the late 80s, early 90s.
Bobby had a string of hits which were bought on by the genre bending, hit-single Every Little Step.
Yes, before he was drink-driving, smoking crack and bashing Whitney Houston, he was bustin’ out his funky dance moves that spawned a thousand clones.
Whitney Houston even tried it out for herself, which is probably why she pimped Bobby out in the first place (‘cause it definitely wasn’t his fugly ghetto face).
I love Bobby’s song from Ghostbusters II (On Our Own) as the boys are busting down some bad ass ghost slime.
I remember every kid in the playground with Bobby Brown/MC Hammer happy-pants trying to bust out the latest Ice-T Breakin’ moves like it was yesterday.
Bobby toughened it up a bit with Humpin’ Around, but he couldn’t take the backlash of the 90s and gangster rap, especially seeing as he was face down in a pile of coke most of the time.
The Bobby Brown Autobiography is due out soon, so I'm sure we'll hear all the lurid details.
But it’s hard to believe he was such a bad boy, when you see him in a clip like this....
Classic.

So 80s!
Can I say that even if it is true?

In fact, I recently re-bought the album on vinyl a few years back. Still sounds great!
