      Yeah, the male background singer is Harold Travis. He was gonna be one of Bobby's artist on his label. He was the first vocal artist on the song "Drop it on the One." Not sure what happened because Bobby had some talented people on that song including his sister.

Bobby Brown is one of the most natural, God gifted entertainers of all time and that involves his ability of incredible singing.

    If it weren't for the drugs and Bobby was able to finish his Mystical Magic album (Follow up to Don't Be Cruel), this song should have been recorded, if it wasn't already. This song, and a true recorded version of "From the Outside," & Tap into My Heart would've changed the whole landscape for R&B/Pop/New Jack. Can't imagine what he left in the table with that unfinished/shelved album

    • @wiltisdabest

    Yeah that is one of the biggest lies ever told. Back in the day Bobby B had a pretty good voice. He was not a power singer like Luther, David Ruffin or Johnny Gill but he had a nice voice. Unfortunately, drugs and hard living have robbed him of his talent. His career should have been bigger than what it was.
