Macy Gray was originally hesitant to record a studio album due to what is, arguably, her most recognizable feature -- her voice. She started her music career as a songwriter. Her first album was actually a mistake; she was at the studio waiting for the person who was supposed to be singing her song, and the producer wanted to hear what one of the songs was supposed to sound like. Once she started singing, the producer liked the rough sound of her voice so much he offered her a record deal.

Yeah, it's me, B Brown, Bobby Brown
Listen, um (what you want?), I wanted to talk to you about this song
Oh, you can talk to me all day
Lets do this song together that has lyrics
Lets do it now, that just means something like
Love, listen, come on
Burned by all the fake lovers that you had before
They put you down and gave you hate
But don't believe the things they say
'Cause baby, you're a dream, you're a score
'Cause I would walk a million miles for you, just to visit you, baby
And I'll show you a trillion stars, the moon is ours
Darlin', I, I'm everlasting
I'm a sure thing, I'm the master
Giving you real, real, real love
And it's yours for the asking
I put everything after
Giving you real, real, real love
Baby, I will kiss you, even when you have the flu
I'll be good to you when you're bad
Love you, love you baby, lay you down and save you
I'm your super hero, I'm a fan, I'm a fan
And I would walk a million miles for you, just to visit you, baby
And I'll show you a trillion stars, the moon is ours
Darlin', I, I'm everlasting
I'm a sure thing, I'm the master
Giving you real, real, real love
And it's yours for the asking
I put everything after
Giving you real, real, real love
Lonely baby (baby I), I have to be where you are (be where you are)
We are like a shooting star (shooting star)
Jump in my fast car, baby, I'll take you forever
I'm making you mine, baby, for life (all mine), for life
Darlin', I, I'm everlasting
I'm a sure thing, I'm the master
Giving you real, real, real love (real, real, real love)
And it's yours for the asking
I put everything after
Giving you real, real, real love (real love)
Giving you, giving you, giving you
Giving you, giving you, giving you
Giving you, giving you, giving you
I'm giving you, giving you, giving you

It's just shameful that a song this beautiful was really never given the light of day. It's some of Bobby's best recent work and he and Macy seem to have good chemistry and gel vocally. Great song they need to re-release it!

The industry ignores him, but I really love me some Bobby. He doesn't have the best voice, but he can carry a tune and he can act. And I don't know why, but I can see him being cast in a Al Green biopic. It's just a vibe I get from him that reminds me of "young" Al. Not vocally of course, but just his presence and demeanor. I can visualize him in the the hot grits scene now. lmao
