NEW EDITION

New Edition: Ralph Tresvant, Ronnie DeVoe, Ricky Bell, Michael Bivins, Bobby Brown (vocals). Personnel: Michael Bivins, Ralph Tresvant, Ricky Bell, Ronnie DeVoe, Bobby Brown (vocals). Maurice Starr's vision peaked with this second album by New Edition. They were now thoroughly Jackson 5 clones and were reaping similar commercial dividends thanks to the teen angst cuts "Cool It Now" and "Mr. Telephone Man." They earned their first platinum album, one Top Ten hit and another Top 20 pop single (both songs topped the R&B charts) and were among the hottest acts in either pop or R&B during this stretch. ~ Ron Wynn
