Al B. Sure!, born Albert Joseph Brown III on June 4, 1968, is an American R&B singer, songwriter, and record producer hailing from Mount Vernon, New York. He skyrocketed to fame during the late 1980s with his distinctive blend of soulful vocals and new jack swing—a genre that fuses the rhythms, samples, and production techniques of hip-hop with the urban contemporary sound of R&B.

His debut album "In Effect Mode" swept the charts in 1988, bolstered by the smooth hit single "Nite and Day," which not only established Al B. Sure! as a romantic crooner but also as a heartthrob. His suave look and unmistakable voice made him a notable figure in the R&B scene, followed by successful albums such as "Private Times... And The Whole 9!" and "Sexy Versus." Over the years, although commercial success has varied, Al B. Sure! has remained relevant, releasing tracks like "Honey I'm Home" and continuing to engage with fans through remixes of beloved classics such as "Missunderstanding" and "If I'm Not Your Lover." Beyond his solo career, he has been recognized for his songwriting and production work, including contributions to projects with influential artists in the music industry. Al B. Sure!'s smooth vocals and suave persona represent an era that continues to resonate with R&B aficionados and nostalgia-seekers alike.
