Songoftheday 11/15/19 - But you should know that I've got your back it's automatic, so never hesitate to call 'cause I'm your sister and always for ya...
from the album Brandy (1994)
Billboard Hot 100 peak: #34 (two weeks)
Weeks in the Top-40: 6
Today's song of the day comes from singer/actress Brandy Norwood, whose debut album Brandy had already scored a pair of top ten pop hits with "I Wanna Be Down" and "Baby". The third single released from the record would be the mid-tempo jam "Best Friend". Written by producer Keith Crouch with Glenn McKinney, the jazz-soul number is perhaps the most enjoyable if understated of the songs sent to radio...
"Best Friend" became Brandy's third top-40 pop hit in America in July of 1995. The song did much better on urban radio, peaking at #7 on Billboard magazine's R&B chart. Internationally, the song just missed the top ten in New Zealand, stopping at #11.
