Bobby Brown
Bobby Brown popularized new jack swing, a blend of soul, funk, and hip-hop sounds with raps and melodious verses. His new sound appealed to pop music lovers and was responsible for keeping alive the new jack swing pioneered by Ted Riley. Born into a poor family, his love for music and the determination to succeed led him to form a band called New Edition with his friends. The band’s first album, ‘Candy Girl’, made them a teenage sensation. He exited the band eight years later to release his first solo album, ‘King of Stage’ which along with the album Bobby did not do well. However, his third release ‘Don't Be Cruel’ was a sensational hit. The album dominated the Billboard Hot 100, and was one of the best-selling albums of the decade. It also won for him a couple of American Music Awards. His other album, ‘Forever’ flopped badly. Despite his talent, the singer made headlines for all the wrong reasons. His alcoholism and cocaine addiction affected his life and career. His marriage to pop star Whitney Houston was tumultuous and ended in divorce.

Bobby Brown wants you to witness his pain

In “The Year of Magical Thinking,” late essayist and culture critic Joan Didion approaches grief with a surgeon’s precision. It was her brain on the operating table because Didion struggled to comprehend back-to-back tragedies — her husband’s death and her daughter’s illness — descending on her psychic peace. What happens to our mind when death becomes a constant ritual marking separate stages of our life, almost in cursed succession? If Didion couldn’t touch the neurological root of her hurt, she could at least follow the symptoms as they moved through her body and burrowed into the synapses of her life. The book was her way of making sense of surroundings that were still recognizable but no longer familiar.

Bobby Brown confronts and conquers dark past in new docuseries

Since the early ’80s, it’s been clear that Robert Brown, a kid from Boston better known as Bobby Brown, possesses superstar DNA. Brown was the original R&B bad boy rock star long before Chris Brown’s antics or Trey Songz’s overtly sexual behavior was captured and shared on a smartphone. Brown was raw sex appeal wrapped in enough authentic street credibility to make it stick. He epitomized cool, so much so, that he made a song on the soundtrack for the blockbuster Ghostbusters movie a chart-topping hit.

Bobby Brown Reveals Whitney Houston Came To Him In A Dream & Said To Let Bobbi Kristina ‘Go’

After Bobbi Kristina was placed in a medically induced coma in 2015, Bobby Brown was optimistic she would recover. It wasn’t until Whitney Houston visited him in a dream that he was able to let go of hope that Bobbi would wake up and ever live a normal life again. “Having to watch my daughter fight for her life made me see how precious life is,” Bobby admitted in part two of Biography: Bobby Brown on May 31. “She fought hard. They told me that she wouldn’t live a normal life. I was prepared to take care of her for the rest of her life being a vegetable, but my daughter wouldn’t want to live like that. She wouldn’t want to be like that.”
