The Story: Albert Joseph Brown known as Al B. Sure! was a star football quarterback at Mount Vernon High School in New York who 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.
