His song Nite and Day is a great song, one of the best of 1988. I also like If I'm Not Your Lover alot. I've heard a couple others like Killing Me Softly (kind of a weak remake of a 70s classic), Off On Your Own Girl, and Rescue Me. What do you think of Al B Sure?

I really liked Off on your Own girl! :p

Al B damn Sure his name wasn't really Al B Sure :lol:

His real name was Al Brown. What a great album his first release was, unfortunately he kinda faded into oblivion. PM Dawn sampled "Nite and day" in their single "Sometimes I miss you so much".

He had five #1 singles on the R&B charts and 13 charted R&B singles, a much better showing than on the pop charts. His chart career spanned from 1988-1994.

Thanks for the info DJ. Could you post the titles of his R&B hits, please?

Thanks DJ.

Hej DJ...didn't AL B. Sure win his record contract through some song contest sponsored by Pioneer or something?

Naturally Mine has to be the best song off that album!! I like Nite and Day and Off on your own girl but naturally mine is my absolute favorite. I guess cause my ex used to sing it to me :)

I Loved Al B. Sure back in the day. Nite and Day was my favorite song by him. I also loved Rescue Me, Off on your own girl. What ever happened to him. Last I heard he was supposed to be doin a Jodeci reunion album, but I don't know what's the deal with that.

I really liked that song 'Nite and Day'. Can honestly say it's the only one I remember by him, but i should give the others a listen.

Who knows ... i probably know them and don't even know it :lol:

I loved his music and voice! Now he's a radio DJ somewhere?
