No Matter What They Say, No It Ain't That Way

Bobby Brown was the first member to exit New Edition for a solo career so he's first up here on The Excellent 80's "New Edition Heart Break February" post-New Edition videos.

Check out Bobby Brown from a 1989 interview after he'd left New Edition and before the drugs screwed up his career...



I've already posted most of his 80's hits in here, but first up is one that was not an 80's hit, but an early 90's hit that I enjoyed listening to. I also enjoyed listening to Casey Kasem have to say the name of this song on the weekly top 40 countdown. Just imagine Casey's voice now saying... "and all the way up to number three this week is the former New Edition member Bobby Brown with "Humpin' Around"... Casey having to say "Humpin' Around" just makes me smile.

Here's my favorite Bobby Brown solo song that I've already posted in The Excellent 80's before, but it's worth another look. The album of the same name put Bobby B into mega-stardom status. Here is his top ten billboard chart hit "Don't Be Cruel"...
