▀████▄▄▄▄███████▀ ▀█████▄ ▀▀▀
▀▀███▀▄█████▀ This is an excellent collection from 1 of ▀█████▄
▄█████▀ ▀▄▄ the biggest male R&b/New Jack Swing ▄▄▀ ▀█████▄
▐█████ ▐█▓ singers of the late 80s/early 90s. ▓█▌ █████▌
█████▌ ███▌ Just about every major song is ▐███ ▐█████
▀█████▄ ▓██▓ on this from his 3 albums plus a few ▓██▓ ▄█████▀
▀▀███████▀ non-LP tracks. Fun fact: his song ▀█████████
▀▀██▄ writing credits include the huge #1 hit ▄██▀▀███ ▀ ▄
▄▄▄▄▄ ▐██▓ "Nite N Day" (written while eating a chessburger ▓████▄ ▄█▌
▀ ▀▀███▄ ▄▓▓█▓▌ at lunch in high school) and penning the ▐▓█▓▓▄ ▀██████▀
▐███▌▄█████▀ debut track "Forever My Lady" for Jodeci ▀█████▄ ▀▀▀
▄ ▄███▄█████▀ which also became a big hit. ▀█████▄

▐█████ ▐█▓ BIO: During the late '80s, Al B. Sure! ▓█▌ █████▌
█████▌ ███▌ enjoyed a brief run as one of new jack ▐███ ▐█████
▀█████▄ ▓██▓ swing's most popular romantic singers. ▓██▓ ▄█████▀
▀▀███████▀ Born Al Brown in Boston, he grew up in ▀███████▀▓▄▄▄
▄▄▄ ▀▀██▄ Mount Vernon, NY, listening to smooth ▄██▀▀■ ▀████▄
▄████▀▀▀▄ ▐██▓ crooners like Marvin Gaye and Johnny ▓██▌ ▐▌ ▐████
▐████▌ ▄▄▓▓█▓▌ Mathis; he later became interested in ▐▓█▓▓▄ ▀█▄▄▄███▀
▀████▄▄▄▄███████▀ rap and added that skill to his vocal ▀█████▄ ▀▀▀
▀▀███▀▄█████▀ repertoire. At age ten, he and a friend ▀█████▄
▄█████▀ ▀▄▄ performed on a song written by Ellie ▄▄▀ ▀█████▄
▐█████ ▐█▓ Greenwich for the soundtrack of Sesame ▓█▌ █████▌
█████▌ ███▌ Street, and later he began writing ▐███ ▐█████
▀█████▄ ▓██▓ songs with his cousin Kyle West. While ▓██▓ ▄█████▀
▀▀███████▀ in high school (where he quarterbacked ▀█████████
▀▀██▄ the football team), he became friends ▄██▀▀███ ▀ ▄
▄▄▄▄▄ ▐██▓ with Edward Ferrell, aka DJ Eddie F, who ▓██▌ ████▄ ▄█▌
▀ ▀▀███▄ ▄▓▓█▓▌ was working with rapper Heavy D at the ▐▓█▓▓▄ ▀███████▀
▐███▌▄█████▀ time. Eddie F introduced the ▀█████▄ ▀▀▀
▄ ▄███▄█████▀ still-teenaged Al B. Sure! to Heavy D's ▀█████▄
▀▀███▀██████▀ ▀▄▄ manager/Uptown labelhead Andre Harrell, ▄▄▀ ▀█████▄
▐█████ ▐█▓ who had him sing backing vocals on ▓█▌ █████▌
█████▌ ███▌ several Heavy D tracks and helped him ▐███ ▐█████
▀█████▄ ▓██▓ get a deal with Warner Brothers. ▓██▓ ▄█████▀
▀▀███████▀ Featuring production from DJ Eddie F and ▀███████▀▓▄▄▄
▄▄▄ ▀▀██▄ a number of co-writes with West, Al B. ▄██▀▀■ ▀████▄
▄████▀▀▀▄ ▐██▓ Sure!'s debut album, In Effect Mode, was ▓██▌ ▐▌ ▐████
▐████▌ ▄▄▓▓█▓▌ released in 1988 and became a ▐▓█▓▓▄ ▀█▄▄▄███▀
▀████▄▄▄▄███████▀ platinum-selling sensation thanks to the ▀█████▄ ▀▀▀
▀▀███▀▄█████▀ single "Nite and Day," which reached the ▀█████▄
▄█████▀ ▀▄▄ Top Ten on the pop charts and topped the ▄▄▀ ▀█████▄
▐█████ ▐█▓ R&B charts for three weeks. The ▓█▌ █████▌
█████▌ ███▌ follow-up "Off on Your Own (Girl)" was ▐███ ▐█████
▀█████▄ ▓██▓ also a number one R&B hit, and he ▓██▓ ▄█████▀
▀▀███████▀ became a bona fide star among urban ▀█████████
▀▀██▄ audiences, though he didn't remain a ▄██▀▀███ ▀ ▄
▄▄▄▄▄ ▐██▓ presence on the pop charts. His second ▓██▌ ████▄ ▄█▌
▀ ▀▀███▄ ▄▓▓█▓▌ album, Private Times...and the Whole 9, ▐▓█▓▓▄ ▀███████▀
▐███▌▄█████▀ appeared in 1990 and produced another ▀█████▄ ▀▀▀
▄ ▄███▄█████▀ R&B number one in "Misunderstanding," as ▀█████▄
▀▀███▀██████▀ ▀▄▄ well as a duet with Diana Ross called ▄▄▀ ▀█████▄
▐█████ ▐█▓ "No Matter What." His third album, ▓█▌ █████▌
█████▌ ███▌ 1992's Sexy Versus, wasn't as ▐███ ▐█████
▀█████▄ ▓██▓ successful, and he took a hiatus from ▓██▓ ▄█████▀
▀▀███████▀ recording, eventually landing a vice ▀███████▀▓▄▄▄
▄▄▄ ▀▀██▄ president position at Motown. In 1996, he ▄██▀▀■ ▀████▄
▄████▀▀▀▄ ▐██▓ survived a potentially nasty car ▓██▌ ▐▌ ▐████
▐████▌ ▄▄▓▓█▓▌ accident in New York, and in 2002, he ▐▓█▓▓▄ ▀█▄▄▄███▀
▀████▄▄▄▄███████▀ began hosting a quiet storm-style radio ▀█████▄ ▀▀▀
▀▀███▀▄█████▀ show in the San Francisco Bay Area, ▀█████▄
▄█████▀ ▀▄▄ although rumors of a new album remained ▄▄▀ ▀█████▄
