Songoftheday 9/21/18 - Dealin' with the people I deal with everyday, got to find a place I can hide away...
from the album Bobby (1992)
Billboard Hot 100 peak: #14 (two weeks)
Weeks in the Top-40: 10
Today's song of the day comes from former New Edition singer Bobby Brown, whose third solo album Bobby had already spun off a pair of top ten pop hits with "Humpin' Around" and "Good Enough". The third release from the record would be the new jack swing jam "Get Away". Written by Brown and producer Teddy Riley along with Louis Silas Jr., Bernard Belle, and Tony Haynes (Belle and Riley co-wrote Michael Jackson's "Remember The Time" together), the single was harken fans back to the sound of his massive Don't Be Cruel work...
"Get Away" became Brown's third top-20 hit on the American pop Hot 100 in February of 1993. In fact, it would be his last physical single to hit the pop top-40 so far (there's an airplay hit coming up). The song also spent two weeks at #3 on Billboard's R&B chart, while remixes on the 12" vinyl/CD Single helped it become his biggest hit on the Dance Club Play chart at #3. Internationally, the single reached #23 in New Zealand, and #39 in Canada.
