Bobby Brown - Celebrating 35 Years of Don't Be Cruel Album

Celebrate 35 years of the Iconic, Grammy Award-Winning Don’t Be Cruel Album at The Saban Theatre.

This 7x Platinum and #1 Album from one of the most prominent R&B artists of the late ’80s and early ’90s, Bobby Brown, was instrumental in popularizing the new jack swing movement: a fusion of traditional soul, electronic funk, and hip-hop beats that often include rap interludes between the standard melodic sections.

As a key architect of new jack swing, Brown was also its most successful proponent, achieving mainstream pop success with his groundbreaking Don’t Be Cruel album including the Top 10 Hits “My Prerogative,” “Don’t Be Cruel,” “Every Little Step,” “Roni,” “Rock Wit’cha,” and more!
