Not to say he doesn't sound good in the studio cause he is excellent there...but live my gawd.... I miss that guy I wish he would come back, but I fear it would not be a good thing...Oh well...I will say it for old times sake...






















Kyle West break it down.....

He does a good Michael Jackson act in the night and day video though.

Damn, that's a terrible video. Great song though.

Yeah, ever since that car accident, he's been off the scene. I wonder if the the wreck effect his voice any.

But the last I heard about him, he was hosting a quiet storm radio show in San Fransisco.

OnionJuice said:

I understand that he has produced records for Usher so far and his did some radio DJ gigs in NYC.

man.i feel all ya'll!.

i got his Private times.& the whole 9! c.d..CLASSIC R&B..i be bumpin' it!


forget kayne west.....bring back kyle west.


"If they ask you why,tell'em why?....

it's just a "Sure Thang".

OnionJuice said:

That's correct.A few years ago,he had his own late-night radio show at KISS-FM (98.1) in San Francisco.It was called "The Secret Garden";he played slow jams and took requests.This was around 2002,but the show has since been cancelled.

me 'n izak's song

yeah i lOVE AL B SURE! Got 3 of his albums and the tevin and Jeremy Jordan stuff he did. Remember F.S effect? he should come back. But radio won't play the more innocent slow jams anymore. Al b co wrote the seminal "forever my lady" with Jodeci and produced the slowies on their too.

"misunderstanding" video is hype. "night and day" video is poor. "sexy vs" is a very underated album. His best slow jams are on there.

His best uptempos were on his second album "private times....."

Hey avatarfunk, I love "sure thang". Great newjack slammer. The "misunderstanding" devante swing remix is classic.

"misunderstanding I'm not so demanding".....I swear Kci and Jojo are on backing vox on the remix.

Hey, look! I agree with you on something. Very, very bad video. His lip synching is off, and he keeps throwing his arms over his head in "sexy" poses.

yeah I got that video. Maybe i should see it again. They never show it in the UK. But I remember it though. I got him on Oprah doing it live. Not so good either. Al b was chubby. The girls loved him though.

Christopher Williams was like a deep voiced al b sure. Chris had a good voice though. Al b has a unique voice, yet as Sinister said, it is all overdubs etc.....

Hey, u like Mr Whiny himself Keith Sweat so don't have a go at Al b!

avatarfunk said:

I'm all about that! I love the first album but never got into "Private Times...". I'll give it another chance, though.

One of the weirdest duets ever!!

here's something for you guys that i remember


Al .b Sure performed "had enuf".on the Phil Donahue show!(1990)


if anybody has that on tape.they're lucky.

i think it was the remix....

time to go buy some "12" EP's,ya'll.

I have a picture of me and Al B Sure. I'm sure I've mentioned it on here before. Anyway, the thing is, I can't find it anywhere! I'd post it, if I could find it.

minneapolisgenius said:

This is news to me. How'd this picture come about?

lilgish said:

Yeah. He contorted his lips like MJ and everything.

VinnyM27 said:

Hell yeah! Screw Kanye West, it's all about Kyle West break it down! You know I really could give a rats arse if he can't sing live. His album was great and he was hot! I also liked the night and day video. Don't see anything wrong with it.

avatarfunk said:

He was on the Donahue show? Woah.

RipHer2Shreds said:

Long story, but I was doing a gig for Calvin Klein and somehow some boy band that Al B Sure was producing was performing on the same night that we were. This was in Detroit. So after the gig, he invited us all out to some club. We sat in the VIP section with him at this really boring club, and then we all had to bail out of there because some shooting started at the club and it was evacuated.

minneapolisgenius said:

Wow. Did you use Al B. Sure! for protective cover?

RipHer2Shreds said:

I did.

Lord knows where he disappeared to though when the shit hit the fan.

thesexofit would never say "seminal".

Sinister said:

OOOH THIS LOVE IS SO that
i wont let ya go! I wont!

His real voice was so fucking sexy when he says that "I wont" or 'girl girl' on "Off On Your Own"

thesexofit said:

Oh yes I can! Did you hear the man sing the National Anthem? You would crack up too. I miss Al B. too but that performance was painful. And I am still cracking up!
