OK, I have a confession to make: When I was a young bombshell I had a major crush on Bobby Brown.
One of my first TAPES (yes cassette tapes) was Bobby Brown’s 1988 album Don’t Be Cruel:
YES. This was before the show Being Bobby Brown of course, when Bobby was still young, fresh, and fine! Here’s a video to reflect on those days when he was still the real prince of R&B.
Note: This clip is taken from a VHS tape all about Bobby Brown that I owned as well called His Prerogative! I probably still have it. Oh lord…
A few observations from his interview and video:
*Do you hear that Boston accent? Swooooon…
*You know he was straight lying when he said he was a homebody!!! And that he liked to read….
*Remember when the running man was the hottest dance?
*And the slanted fade was the hottest haircut?
*Um, who else knew the choreography to this? Oh, just me..?
*When in the world was it ok for grown men to wear spandex shorts with suspenders and a wife beater?
I won’t even post a Being Bobby Brown clip to see how things have changed. Let’s just revel in this vintage BB classic.
Enjoy!

Yes, Bobby was definitely that work in his heyday. And I was just watching this video on Youtube, so glad you posted it.
