King of Stage is the debut album by American R&B singer/occasional rapper/dancer Bobby Brown. Following his exit from New Edition, and at 16, Brown signed a contract with his former group's label, MCA, which had earlier promised Brown a solo deal if he had decided to leave New Edition and also signed with manager Steven Machat, who also worked with Ready for the World. The debut album was released in 1986. Brown had a number-one R&B hit with the ballad, "Girlfriend" but the album didn't do as well.
