Bobby Brown actually didn't like the music or direction that Blackmon was taking him and the cameo tight clothes,so he left him and got with Teddy Riley which Bobby Brown actually stated himself.
Let’s give it up for group CAMEO for producing this hit with Bobby Brown… Back and Forth and Candy… These dudes had their own sound in the late 80’s early 90’s and their music still completely rocks today! Larry Blackman and the crew did their thing!
This whole album is UNDERRATED. I saw Bobby In Phx opening up for Toni Tony Tone and he rocked it. Quite a few songs were produced by Larry Blackmon of Cameo and all the bass lines are just sick!
This whole album was amazing. I only knew because my sister is 11 years older than me and I would watch this VHS visual album play over and over. Yes Bobby had a visual album for every song on VHS. Put some respect on Bobby’s name!
+antij1 It didn't matter. Bobby was a part of New Edition from the beginning. All of them were and are Street cats. Why Bobby was so successful was because he kept his ear to the streets. He knew what the streets wanted to hear. BabyFace LA Reid and Teddy Riley was his his answer to the streets. Larry Blackman was his answer to the streets. That was just the beginning of what was to come from this guy. Make no mistake about it. Bobby was burning up the charts with Don't Be Cruel. It stayed on the charts for a very lonnnng time. He killed the game back then.
He reminds me of Larry Blackmon of Cameo in this video by the way he's dressed. But then again that's who helped produced his album. A slept on classic here.
Bobby was the man when he left New Edition. His debut album dont be cruel was dope. Every joint on it was a jam. We was lovin Bobby. And the Jordan 2s had just came out back then.
I’ve been looking for this song for years & didn’t know he sung it. I couldn’t think of the artist nor the title. Just the melody. Shoutout to Verzuz!!!
Damn, I was trying to play the bass part to this song tonight, and it is all over the place. Really moves up and down the scales and has a nice rhythm. I need more practice to do this one.
Wooow! I didn't watch this video a lot but i appreciate it. I love seing B. Brown doing his thing. Still got that swag. Just a year before "DBC" exploded on the scene and he demolished everything and ushered in New Jack Swing. The King of R&B! 😘😍💞💃💃💕👑👑
This video 😂 Bobby the peeping Tom. I love how Marla Gibbs grabs him at the end dragging him. That Bobby was a bad azz. And I didn't know that Carl Payne aka Cockroach and Cole was in this video. LMAO I love it this video was too adorable.
This could easily be a New Edition record. It sounds just like Crucial and if you could put this song on an New Edition, album, HeartBreak would be the one. Anyone agree or disagree?
This was most definitely a Heart of The 80's kind of Sound.What many like about the 90's sound! Is really a continuation of The 80's.It's more creative instrumentation wise.More Grooves and Melodies.And it often stirs Emotion.Both from the Artists and The listener.And Who better than Ole Bobby Brown to pop off that Official Stylin and Profilin. Sophisticated Hard Hip-Hopish R&B,Pop,Groove Sound of The 80's.
The Girl Next Door this Bobby Brown Song takes me back because I had a Crush on a Girl that lived next Door to me and everytime I hear this song I think about her She got killed in a Car Wreck we was in 8th Grade so I never had a chance to tell her I had a crush on her R.I.P 😭😭😭 $$ R.L $$
Larry Blackmon captured the rough edges of Bobby in this song way before New Jack Swing did. Perfect song and vibe for him.
I so wanted to see Larry in the Bobby Brown movie.
Larry wrote it or created the beat?
@@FleshCatOfficial both
Bobby Brown actually didn't like the music or direction that Blackmon was taking him and the cameo tight clothes,so he left him and got with Teddy Riley which Bobby Brown actually stated himself.
That is very true! He did a really great job! It set the tone for Don't Be Cruel (the snare drums) and My Prerogative.
such an underrated Bobby song.
I had the whole tape, 1989. I forgot this song but it is resonating still today. I Love Bobby and the video!
Agreed
Let’s give it up for group CAMEO for producing this hit with Bobby Brown… Back and Forth and Candy… These dudes had their own sound in the late 80’s early 90’s and their music still completely rocks today! Larry Blackman and the crew did their thing!
Didn't know that, but now I can notice Cameo's style on this track. That also explains Bobby wearing that bright red cup Larry wore in his videos lol
Yo! That's crazy! That raises the bar even more! It's all Cameo! So so dope!🔥🔥🔥
Facts but thank God teddy riley n babyface save him
Ohhh… look and sounds like Cameo.
@@jamalyoung-zq9glWord.
The 80s will live forever.
Go Bobby. The type of music that makes me smile.
King of the Stage was a classic album that was slept on!
No...it was an average album that didn't go anywhere because it wasn't very well produced. It got exactly what it deserved.
Manu Ginobilis Bald Spot you sound like a hater
Manu Ginobilis Bald Spot terrible comment. King of Stage was dope. definitely slept on.
Tyler Riley he was 17 when he went solo
Ayona Laquay thanks I still wonder why he got kicked out of new edition
This whole album is UNDERRATED. I saw Bobby In Phx opening up for Toni Tony Tone and he rocked it. Quite a few songs were produced by Larry Blackmon of Cameo and all the bass lines are just sick!
Dam never knew that, but now that you mention it this totally sounds like an Cameo song 🕺
whats the album
@@dobrintzvetkovsky "KING OF STAGE"
This song was awesome

jay butler I wasn’t even thought of back then but bobby was bae !! 😂😂

+Dee Bee Yes! That movie was great.
Igaveyoumyfakename you sound drunk dude stop being a hater
Movie was classic fr they can't fuck with Bobby B lol
Igaveyoumyfakename ok now let's see your version
Bobby's dance moves are just flames 🔥🔥🔥💯
Whitney said she saw Bobby dancing during a performance and right there she knew she wanted him
This beat goes hard even now
Bobby Brown / Kadeem Hardison / Brother Ron had the illest non rapper sneaker game back then
kadeem had that fire footwear
Hold This L. Debarge Yes they did!!!!
This is a very underrated 80s song just like those dope air Jordan 2's.
Them Jordans was the hottest from the 80's.
Yep Spandex and air jordans, both the women spandex with L.A gears and or Reebooks, and Men wore spandex as well with Air Jordans.
Plus no laces. Think Will Smith took credit for.
Man…….. air Jordan 2s low key fire and slept on.
@@davidtookes7784 What nationality is Bobby Brown?
This beat was HOT!!!!
Love this video even after so many years! Bobby rocked the world in the 80's.
damn i wasn't even born when this came out ... 80s-90s r&b will always be the best
Brenxo and we had so much fun!!!
Soul love lucky ! I was born in 96 at least I'm still able to enjoy music from this era
Brenxo i was born in 99 me too i like This period
I was born in '71 and yes....the 80's and 90's were tha shit!! Best eras for music!
You right
Talented dude yo regardless of his struggle this came easy to him
This whole album was amazing. I only knew because my sister is 11 years older than me and I would watch this VHS visual album play over and over. Yes Bobby had a visual album for every song on VHS. Put some respect on Bobby’s name!
You can hear Cameo all thru this.
Nicole McMillan just like candy lol
Nicole McMillan its like candy
Produced by them (Larry Blackmon)
Yes indeed ! Cameo all day... That darn Larry !! This is my jam .
Not cameo per she but LARRY BLACK MAN!!!
BOBBY WHOPPING IT OUT!!!!
This hits way better as adult than a kid when heard this
Its the funk, we have to grow into it!
I remember getting this album for Christmas in 1987. I was 11
Damn Oldshcool lls
The album was released in 1986 like say December?!!
@@jaywad8876 that's right.... not impossible ppl were still buying it 12 months later Xmas 1987
13 years old when this came out
i was a baby back then when this came out
He got his wop on ..

This still goes hard after all these years. Beat and guitar is crazy!!
One of my favorite songs of Bobby Brown
This never gets old

This one is tru Bobby brown..I just love the brother..
Did anybody notice bobby roccin the Air Jordan II's
+Akeem Cooper back then Jordans cost $99.99
Akeem Cooper Always saw that

Hell yea LOL
Hell yeah
2:52 Bobby Raps 😎🤟🏾
Do that wop Bobby!!!!...This song was my ish!!!
King of Stage!!
He was the true breakout star from the group!
Yall notice that Bobby was the first (or one of) you'd sing and incorporate rap into his songs.
New Edition did a lot of that and then Bobby went solo and incorporated it in his songs.
Drake may have been inspired by Bobby Brown.
+antij1 It didn't matter. Bobby was a part of New Edition from the beginning. All of them were and are Street cats. Why Bobby was so successful was because he kept his ear to the streets.

+Edwin Hayes Ain't nothing new under the sun. Ecclesiastes.
Edwin Hayes
LOL. True.
Classic Bobby...I remember when this came out. How I miss those days
so nobody ain't see Cole from martin tho?
lol yep I was just about to say Cockroach
Cockroach also happens to be Bobby's son's stepfather. 😨😨😨
I wonder if that's where he and Landon's mother 1st met; just curious???
@ Chanda..Wow, I didn't know that!
Edrick Jordan you go
Bobby was so lit back in the day💝
ANOTHER CERTIFIED CLASSIC 🔥 🔥 BANGER
I was a Bobby Brown fan from jump lol
Bobby is the King of R&B........ Hands down!!!!
He reminds me of Larry Blackmon of Cameo in this video by the way he's dressed. But then again that's who helped produced his album. A slept on classic here.
Underrated song definitely
One of my favorite Bobby Brown songs and video! My favorite part is at the 3:30 mark.
Classic joint 💯🥃
Bobby was that dude back in those days. Extremely talented.
Who's jamming this wit me in 2021
GO BOBBYYYYY 💕
🙋🏽♀️
His personal shines through on this track! 💪🏿
His 1st album was pretty good. But the 2nd one was pure gold.
I don't care what nobody says, I love this Dude and all of his music.
shame how his love of drugs destroyed him and Whitney. They were so great.
@@waynewesterfield2130man stop with that negativity shit! He's still rocking it and healthy Whitney is dead where just tryna enjoy his music
Those Jordan 2s B Brown was always ahead of the game,
One of my favorite videos and song from Bobby. So glad he went solo because Bobby is not built to be in a group,
all of them have that NE sound tho.
He Didn't Have To Bop That Hard At 3:30🤣🤣🤣!!!!! I'm Reading His Book And It's Super Dope!!!!
This guy bobby had sooooo many fire hits!!!
KING BOBBY.
MAN! I CAN LISTEN TO THIS FOREVER AND NEVER GET TIRED OF IT, LET PUT THIS ON REPEAT FOR AT LEAST A THOUSAND TIME
Me too!!!!
When music was real
kimberly williams agreed
The King of R&B in my book
Bobby was the man when he left New Edition. His debut album dont be cruel was dope. Every joint on it was a jam. We was lovin Bobby. And the Jordan 2s had just came out back then.
King of the Stage(this song was on it) was his debut album. Don't Be Cruel was his sophomore release.
This album and video in particular was his introduction to heroin. He could've been much more successful had he just said NO! 😢 Sad
You're right, i forgot about that one
Don't be cruel wasn't his debut album that was his second, his debut album was king of stage and this song is on that album
That was not his debut album...this was before don't be cruel
I’ve been looking for this song for years & didn’t know he sung it. I couldn’t think of the artist nor the title. Just the melody. Shoutout to Verzuz!!!
He was so handsome back then❤️
Best song ever
Very underrated, especially for young folks! My teenage sons never even heard this until a few months ago.
He was good looking back then, & a great dancer go Bobby!
Real good vibes!!! Classic.
Bobby Brown has always stood out he has that it factor
Damn, I was trying to play the bass part to this song tonight, and it is all over the place. Really moves up and down the scales and has a nice rhythm. I need more practice to do this one.
Kelly Lucas I loooove the bass line!!! Im a musician/ keyboard player. The bass line on the verse is wicked just like chorus is dope!
Those Cameo basslines are always tough.
Dope!!!
yup all over good way put it
Who's here two steppin after Keith Sweat Versuz Bobby Brown?? 🤗
Go Bobby!!
Way back when Bobby was super fine
Cole from Martin all up in this🤣💜
Bobby Brown was Smashing R and B hit songs with this and his Don't be cruel album Classic R and b music
I love Bobby Brown he made good to go solo
@3:30 that's it Bobby whop it out!-lol
I JUST said the exact same fraise verbatim !... That is CRAZY !!!😎
My favorite part lol
Good song. Young Bobby had it going on.
Wooow! I didn't watch this video a lot but i appreciate it. I love seing B. Brown doing his thing. Still got that swag. Just a year before "DBC" exploded on the scene and he demolished everything and ushered in New Jack Swing. The King of R&B! 😘😍💞💃💃💕👑👑
Love u Bobby Brown 2020 💜
He was really really good.
Classic 😍😍
Bobby will always be the "Man" 💙
This video 😂 Bobby the peeping Tom. I love how Marla Gibbs grabs him at the end dragging him. That Bobby was a bad azz. And I didn't know that Carl Payne aka Cockroach and Cole was in this video. LMAO I love it this video was too adorable.
Lashay Davis and that cole ended up with one of bobby's baby mamas in real life too lol
He sampled Melissa Morgan's Fool's Paradise
69 Candles and Flames You know whaaaaat?! That IS Fool's Paradise
69 Candles and Flames Omfg!
Brilliant ear my dear.
I knew I heard this beat before lol
Ty 4 this post
This could easily be a New Edition record. It sounds just like Crucial and if you could put this song on an New Edition, album, HeartBreak would be the one. Anyone agree or disagree?
The day I turned 21, before I went to the club. I watched the video all day to learn how to whop. Air Jordan II my favorites.
His Jordan 2s are fresh af
+Jesteristic Gamin yep and ironically he's married to his ex girlfriend now
+Jesteristic Gamin replied to the wrong comment

But them bars tho! Bobby Brown was everything and more than these singing rappers ever thought about being. #ThemNEBoys ... The first to ever do it.
Rocking the original Skinny Jeans LOL

+Savannah Hubbard lmao yesssssss cause I didn't even know that lol
+Ruetrip1 lol hursh

King of Stage Album a great Album! This was my favorite from that joint!
Cameo all over this one.
my boo...I love the 80s.
Man I remember being 4 yrs old and be totally obsessed with Bobby Brown ...
I want some dude to make a bop like this with this type energy
yea they shoulda released this as the single before girlfriend, funky, upbeat, and happy while capturing some of bobby’s “edginess” before DBC.
larry blackmon of cameo produced this track....bobby looked like larry in this video
Yep, you can really hear the Cameo "sound" in this one.
Looks like Larry dressed him too
jlv3x LMBO
jlv3x 😂😂😂😂...Now come on...Don't do Bobby like that. lol
Word Up! LOL!
This and don't be cruel are my favorites. I had the cassette tape that popped because I rewound this song so much!
So much music at only 16 wow.
Memories!!!! I remember when I got this album!! Love me some Bobby!
He was r. kelly before kellz the original bad 👦🏽 of r&b.🤘🏽👌🏽 🚩.
bobby, wish I was the girl next door...back in the day
Love it....LARRY BLACMON(cameo) hooked Bob up with this one!!!

I used to luv this song!!
Lol, I remember when I was the new girl on my block.
Low key CLASSIC.
My all time favorite song by him.
It's so ironic that Cole from Martin is in this video and ended up marrying Bobby's first baby mama. 🤣
Unreal,eh?? Dang!
His baby mama was in the video also
Wow I didn't know that until now lol
Maybe he became a fan and wanted to be in this video! LOLLL!
That's why he was in the video! They were cool!
