Welcome back to another edition of Throwback Thursday! In today's entry, we have a song that is sure to get u back into the 'New Jack Swing'... Let's Begin:
In the mid to late 1980s there was one musical group that that would influence the way music was heard, with the introduction of the ‘Boy Band’.
When ‘New Edition’ hit the scene, mainstream music hadn’t heard such a sound. Made up of members, Bobby Brown, Michael Bivens, Ricky Bell, Ronnie DeVoe, and Ralph Tresvant, this was a group that was synonymous with 80s, just as Pac-Man was.
However, with their success, came the emerging of a new and controversial ‘star’. Bobby Brown, had became increasingly difficult to manage within the group. Although one of the most recognizable faces, it was almost certain that he would soon go on to begin his own solo music career.
In 1986, Brown woud release his 1st solo album, ‘King of Stage’. However, a King of the charts, he was not yet. It wasn’t until 1988, that Brown would release his 2nd solo album, ‘Don’t Be Cruel’, which would have him sitting on top of the charts… and the song that would do that would help everyone see his ‘Prerogative’.
As the 2nd single released from the album, Brown thought it imperative to let everyone know who he was and how he was going to be. The Bad Boy was in the building, and also eventually on top of the Billboard charts, this day in 1989...
So here is your Throwback For Thursday… ‘My Prerogative’, by Bobby Brown
