Brown was a star football quarterback at Mount Vernon High School in New York, but rejected an athletic scholarship to the University of Iowa to pursue a music career. In 1987, Quincy Jones selected Brown as the first winner of the Sony Innovators Talent Search. Subsequently, Brown went on to work with Jones on several projects, most notably the platinum single "Secret Garden" from Jones' double platinum album Back on the Block. On this recording, Brown was one of a quartet with Barry White, El DeBarge, and James Ingram.
His debut album from 1988, In Effect Mode, sold more than two million copies, topping the Billboard R&B chart for seven straight weeks. The album included his memorable single "Nite and Day", which topped the R&B singles chart and reached #7 on the Billboard Hot 100. He received numerous Grammy and American Music Award (AMA) nominations, and won an AMA for Best New R&B Artist. He also received several Soul Train Award nominations, and won the award for Best New Artist. He also won several New York Music Awards. In addition, Al's 900 phone line was third in generating revenue, following those for New Kids on the Block and Run-DMC.
As a writer and producer, Brown introduced the multi-platinum group Jodeci and teen R&B performer Tevin Campbell (also one of Quincy Jones's former protégés), as well as Faith Evans, Dave Hollister, Case, and Usher to the music scene.
On June 23, 2009, Al released his fourth studio album, Honey I'm Home. It features the hit song, "I Love It (Papi Aye Aye Aye)." The single peaked at #77 on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Singles & Tracks chart and at #22 Adult R&B.

How I feel about you
I can tell you how I feel about you night and day
How I feel about you
I'll love you more in the rain or shine
And making love in the rain is fine
A love so good and I call it mine
I can tell you how I feel about you night and day
How I feel about you
I can tell you how I feel about you night and day
How I feel about you
Believe me when I say that I do care, I can tell you
I'd like to run my fingers through your hair, I can tell you
Baby, if you left I could not bear, I can tell you
Please don't share
Do you love me, please let me know (I can tell you)
Don't hide the feeling, just let it show (I can tell you)
A feeling so deep that comes within (I can tell you)
What kind of love am I in, ooh
I can tell you how I feel about you night and day
How I feel about you
I can tell you how I feel about you night and day
How I feel about you
If you and I were one, girl
The love would share would be so fun
Just take my hand and you'll see, girl
That we'd take off into another world
I can tell you how I feel about you (oh) night and day (uh-huh)
(Uh-huh, uh-huh, uh)
I can tell you how I feel (woo) about you night and day
(I'll love you more in the rain or shine)
I can tell you how I feel about you night and day
(Night and day, night and day, night and day)
I can tell you how I feel (woo) about you night and day
(Making love in the rain is fine)
I can tell you how I feel about you night and day
I can tell you how I feel about you night and day

No question.
Broderick Park, in Buffalo NY. Right at the Niagara River. Sun going down.
Every car radio playing WBLK. No attitudes, no fights, no bass systems. Just people...with the one they loved. Maybe some OE800, maybe some green.
And this song.
It was magic.
I hear this and I'm 21 again.
And now I find myself placing the one that got away (Allison) in this memory. It would have been the greatest moment in my life.

If this song was released today in 2024, it’d still top the charts. Timeless classic!!!

George Michael wrote Careless Whisper, Young Guns and Wham Rap at 19. Hansen was even younger. What helped Sure/Brown was winning Quincy Jones' attention. His producing was great, too.
