This week we're discussing 3 brothers from Boston, Massachusetts, who were able to bridge the gap between hip hop and R&B in a way that hadn't been done up until that point. Their music was “mentally Hip Hop, smoothed out on the R&B tip, with a Pop feel, appeal to it.” We're talking about Bell Biv Devoe. Made up of Ricky Bell, Michael Bivins, and Ronnie DeVoe—all members of New Edition—they branched off and blew up in 1990 with Poison, an album that defined the "new jack swing" era, and this week just happens to be the 35th anniversary (damn!) of its release, so we decided to get into that and more!Here's a link to the playlist for this episode.If you enjoy the content that we're making and you're looking for ways to support our independent podcast, here's a little something that you can do:Please leave us a 5 star rating or review on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Podchaser or Goodpods.You can also drop a few coins in our tip jar here: https://ko-fi.com/troypodcast if you're feeling generous.If it's merch that you're looking for, check out our store, Nuthin' But A Tee Thang, at teethang.comSpreading the word about the show to your friends and family helps too.Sign up for our monthly newsletter, Liner Notes.However you choose to support, know that it is greatly appreciated as always.

Many music lovers are likely familiar with Michael Bivins – hailed as a member of the legendary R&B groups New Edition and Bell Biv DeVoe. Beyond that, he's established himself as one of the music industry's most accomplished entrepreneurs. However, what might not be common knowledge is the journey that led him to this point. Unveiling the narrative of his triumph is the recently released documentary, "The Hustle of @617MikeBiv." This documentary unpacks his trajectory, starting from his aspirations of making it big in the NBA during his childhood, to the present day where his career continues to draw massive crowds of enthusiastic fans. Bivins joins Tavis for a career conversation and to give us a taste of what to expect in the documentary.

According to the Library of Congress, the term "rhythm and blues," often called "R&B," originated in the 1940s when it replaced "race music" as a general marketing term for all African American music - though it usually referred only to secular, not religious music. The term first appeared in commercial recording in 1948 (75 years ago), when RCA Victor records began using "blues and rhythm" music as a descriptor for African American secular songs. Since then, R&B has charted a remarkable trajectory of evolution, solidifying its position as a cornerstone of popular music and a reflection to cultural shifts. Its profound influence on musical expression can be traced through time, as artists consistently reimagine the genre's sonic landscapes and lyrical themes. Tavis is joined by distinguished musicologist Dr. Tammy Kernodle to unpack the intricate evolution of R&B – from its historical origins, to its enduring resonance in the realm of music today.

YVETTE NICOLE BROWN BIO Yvette landed her first television role - - a two-episode gig playing Toni Childs' sister "Sherri" on GIRLFRIENDS - - by chance. Casting director Robi Reed called her in to audition from a post card submission. Yvette had no credits and no agent. That stroke of serendipity at the beginning of her career, taught Yvette that you never know how God is going to move in your life and career. Booking a series regular role two months later, on the first pilot she auditioned for further proved the point. That show, ABC's THE BIG HOUSE -- which starred Kevin Hart, only lasted a few episodes; but that experience proved to be a blessing as well. Through it, Yvette learned the transient nature of the business and to always "travel light".Yvette has since appeared (and often recurred) on shows as varied as ENTOURAGE, PSYCH, CURB YOUR ENTHUSIASM, HOT IN CLEVELAND, MELISSA & JOEY, THE OFFICE, THE SOUL MAN, THAT'S SO RAVEN, HALF & HALF, SLEEPER CELL, HOUSE, TWO AND A HALF MEN, THAT 70'S SHOW and BOSTON LEGAL - - where she got to perform "Big, Blonde & Beautiful" from Hairspray. It was a bit of a homecoming because Yvette is no stranger to singing. She was managed by Michael Bivins (of New Edition and BBD) and signed to Motown Records when she was just a teen.Younger viewers may know Yvette from her recurring role on Nickelodeon's DRAKE & JOSH, where she played movie theater manager, Helen Ophelia Dubois. Landing that role was another serendipitous experience. The role of Helen was to be a one-time role; one that Yvette auditioned for while on hiatus from THE BIG HOUSE. That one-time role turned into four years of employment and introduced Yvette and her silliness to the best group of fans in the world...kids! The cast of DRAKE & JOSH reunited in 2008 for the holiday movie, "Merry Christmas: Drake & Josh," a film that broke Nickelodeon viewership records when it was seen by over 8 million viewers the night it debuted. It has since gone on to become an annual holiday favorite.Yvette has also had a successful career in commercials. She's appeared in over 40 national spots. You may have seen her in ads for BIG LOTS, PINE SOL, CITIBANK, FIBER ONE YOGURT, DAIRY QUEEN, HAMBURGER HELPER, ARROWHEAD WATER, HOME DEPOT, COMCAST, LG and DiGIORNO'S PIZZA to name a few. Yvette was also immortalized in puppet form as "Mrs. Lewis, from downstairs" in a series of NIKE spots alongside puppet versions of Kobe Bryant and LeBron James. She is also making a name for herself in the voiceover world. She can currently be heard as "Luna" on Disney's ELENA OF AVALOR, "Principal Waller" on DC's SUPERHERO GIRLS and the dual role of "Portia" and "Zenith" on Crackle's SUPERMANSION where she works alongside Bryan Cranston and Keegan Michael Key. She also voiced the character "Cookie" for three seasons as one of the HUB Network's POUND PUPPIES. Listen closely and you can also hear Yvette on WABBIT, FAMILY GUY, PUPPY DOG PALS, THE REGULAR SHOW and DOC McSTUFFINS just to name a few and recently made her feature animated debut voicing "Ladybug" in the film "Yellowbird"Most recently, Yvette has made the rounds of numerous game shows and talk shows including THE LATE SHOW WITH STEPHEN COLBERT, THE CHEW, THE VIEW, THE REAL, HOLLYWOOD GAME NIGHT, TO TELL THE TRUTH, CELEBRITY FAMILY FEUD, PYRAMID, MATCH GAME, CELEB NAME GAME and her absolute favorite, THE TALKING DEAD.In addition to her commercial and television work--most recently as a series regular on CBS' THE ODD COUPLE, Yvette also has a burgeoning film career. She made her film debut in the romantic comedy, "Little Black Book," working alongside Brittany Murphy and Oscar winners, Holly Hunter and Kathy Bates. Her next film, Michael Bay's futuristic thriller, "The Island" put her on the set with Ewan McGregor and Scarlett Johansson. Supporting roles in other films including "Dreamgirls" and "The Kid and I," - - where she first met and worked with one of her childhood heroes, Henry Winkler - - soon followed. She was in the box office hit, "Tropic Thunder" (directed by Ben Stiller) where she worked with Matthew McConaughey; as well as the family film, "Meet Dave" where she realized a childhood dream by sharing the screen with Eddie Murphy.Other film roles include the family film, "Hotel for Dogs" starring Emma Roberts and Don Cheadle, the romantic comedy, "The Ugly Truth" starring Katherine Heigl and Gerard Butler, the indie hit, "(500) Days of Summer" starring Zooey Deschanel and Joseph Gordon-Levitt; and the action thriller, "Repo Men" where she shared the screen with Jude Law and Oscar winner, Forest Whitaker. Most recently, those with a keen eye, could see Yvette peeking thru loads of prosthetic makeup as one of the "three fates" in the Percy Jackson sequel, "Percy Jackson: Sea of Monsters".Yvette also appeared in the hit BET mini-series THE NEW EDITION STORY and hosted SyFy's game show, COSPLAY MELEE, Yvette also co-starred in the recent ABC sitcom THE MAYOR and starred as Shirley Bennett for five seasons on the NBC hit comedy series COMMUNITY.Yvette currently resides in L.A.

In this episode of the Dive Podcast, journalist Sophie Peel joins host Brianna Wheeler to discuss the conditions of the popular food card pod, Hawthorne Asylum, and how, due to lax/nonexistent regulations, those conditions may be more common than we think.  But first we're joined by Rachel Saslow, whose contribution to this week's issue is a deep dive into  former WW freelancer Michael Bivins' spiral into extremism, bigotry, and eventually, a violent spree of hate crimes.Brianna also shares what she learned from WW this week, including which local housing service might need an accountability check after using only a slim fraction of their federal funding,  what's driving the eternal lack of liquor bottle  aisles in Oregon grocery stores, and how one of  Portland's most polarizing council members is headed for a runoff election in November. 

THE THESIS: The Party wants another day like January 6th that they can use to scream insurrection just as Kevin McCarthy's dear friend, Liz Cheney and Nancy Pelosi get their joke of a Jan6 Commission in the headlines of the Mockingbirds.  THE SCRIPTURE & SCRIPTURAL RESOURCES:  Ephesians 6:12 12 For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. John 15: 18-27 18 “If the world hates you, keep in mind that it hated me first. 19 If you belonged to the world, it would love you as its own. As it is, you do not belong to the world, but I have chosen you out of the world. That is why the world hates you. 20 Remember what I told you: ‘A servant is not greater than his master.'[b] If they persecuted me, they will persecute you also. If they obeyed my teaching, they will obey yours also. 21 They will treat you this way because of my name, for they do not know the one who sent me. 22 If I had not come and spoken to them, they would not be guilty of sin; but now they have no excuse for their sin. 23 Whoever hates me hates my Father as well. 24 If I had not done among them the works no one else did, they would not be guilty of sin. As it is, they have seen, and yet they have hated both me and my Father. 25 But this is to fulfill what is written in their Law: ‘They hated me without reason.'[c] The Work of the Holy Spirit 26 “When the Advocate comes, whom I will send to you from the Father—the Spirit of truth who goes out from the Father—he will testify about me. 27 And you also must testify, for you have been with me from the beginning. THE NEWS & COMMENT: J.D. Vance And The New Right Are Racking Up Wins, While The Establishment Stabs At Their Backs [AUDIO] - WA Free Beacon: Watch: Biden's 'New Tone' (Same as the Old Tone) Portland journalist who reported on the 'alt- right' for liberal papers arrested over attacks on synagogues, mosque; Michael Bivins was charged with multiple counts of criminal mischief in the first degree, criminal mischief in the third degree, and arson in the first degree. [AUDIO] - CNN: Law enforcement bracing for violence from “far right” following Alito opinion.  “They're closely monitoring social media chatter that suggests there's a potential for violence against abortion clinic providers, abortion clinic staff, members of the Judiciary" Left-wing militants torch pro-life organization office with Molotov Cocktails; Two staff returned to their office on Sunday morning to find graffiti writing on the wall saying, “If abortions aren't safe, then you aren't either.” Julie Kelly - Well this sure is odd. Info related to Officer Fanone's visit to the emergency room is redacted in plea deal. Fanone publicly claims he suffered a heart attack and severe brain injury.

Phil & Jake are joined by friend-of-the-pod Jade Puget (from AFI and Blaqk Audio) to rank mini-trucks, the enigmatic historical curiousity known as "Fritch's mustache", and the Green Day album Kerplunk! on the List of Every Damn Thing.Follow Jade on Instagram (@jadepuget) and Twitter (@jadepuget). AFI will be touring in 2022; don't miss their new album Bodies. And Blaqk Audio is playing shows too.If you have something to add to the list, email it to list@everydamnthing.net (or get at us on Twitter, Instagram and Facebook). We also have a subreddit!SHOW NOTES: Jade and Jake are both proud graduates of Mendocino College, where they could be found playing Terminator 2: Judgment Day pinball in the Eagle's Nest circa 1993. There's some talk of The Crappy, which was the name given to the house (in our hometown of Ukiah, California) where Jake lived and all his friends hung out. West Side Ukiah (aka “the good side of Dora”) is the Ukiah neighborhood where Phil grew up. It's above sea level. Jake and Jade were from the much-grittier streets of Empire Gardens and The Meadows, respectively. “Sudden Impact” was the name of both a mysterious drifter as well as his awesome mini-truck. It's also the name of the white-guy group in the “Motownphilly” video. Their album never got released. There's a podcast about them but we haven't listened to it. “Motownphilly” is of course by Boyz II Men, not Bell Biv DeVoe as Jake claims; though Michael Bivins did produce the song, and does the rap in it. We talk about 2 Live Crew, a rap group from Miami who were especially dirty and loved bass. Here's "Pop that Coochie" to give you some idea of what they were up to. We also mention “Ditty” by Paperboy. The mustache photo under discussion was printed on the CD of D Is For Delinquent by Jade's early band Loose Change (with Chon Travis). Another early band of Jade's that we mention is Influence 13 (with Nick 13). “Continuity of self” is the sense of self-continuity that represents the ability to perceive oneself as an entity that extends both backwards into the past and forwards into the future. This sense allows individuals to view themselves as being the same, despite the tremors induced by time and environment. Jake was the lead in the musical Li'l Abner in high school. Phil was in the play too in a small role. The end of one of Jake's songs was Phil's cue to come on the stage, so Phil listened to Jake sing it many times and sometimes gets it stuck in his head. Jake is not as into the Doggystyle album art as Phil accuses him of being. Green Day songs discussed include “2000 Light Years Away” and “Dominated Love Slave”. We also mention their record 39/Smooth, the Sweet Children EP and Dookie. Other albums discussed include the Beastie Boys' Paul's Boutique and Nirvana's Nevermind. Green Apple Books (Jade calls it “Red Apple Books”) is a world-class bookstore on Clement Street in San Francisco. Phil briefly worked there but it turned out wasn't suited to retail work. Turn It Around: The Story of East Bay Punk is a great documentary about the scene that Green Day was a part of in their early years.

"Not too hard and not too soft." That phrase personifies, in many ways, the music AND appeal of R&B hitmakers Boyz II Men. They could sing the harmonious, emotional acapella high points with songs like "End of the Road" and "It's So Hard To Say Goodbye To Yesterday" but they could also bring the heat. (See "Uhh Ahh.") However, there was nothing soft about their success. When their debut album, Cooleyhighharmony, hit in 1991, it hit HARD. Fueled by the Michael Bivins-produced "origin story" "Motownphilly," Boyz II Men were on a path of mega superstardom that would show them ruling the airwaves for much of the 1990s – sometimes even beating themselves at the top of the charts.

For this episode of Beyond The Album Cover I had the chance to chop it up with Hayden Hajdu. He was signed to Biv 10 and was the third person to appear in the East Coast Family video 1-4-All-4-1. We talk about everything from his upbringing in Akron, OH, Playing football in high school and getting signed by Michael Bivins to Biv 10, his music career with Michael Bivins and later Matthew Knowles, music industry, and everything else in between.

We have made contact with Sudden Impact. Aaron Kane, the group's lead singer, tells us how they came together, how they got Michael Bivins' attention, and where things began to go wrong. Plus, Dave shares war stories with an old MTV colleague about having a normal life one day, and a TV show the next.

In 1991, a boy band called Sudden Impact made a big debut in the music video for Boyz II Men's “MotownPhilly,” and then... they disappeared. Dave Holmes has been obsessed with this story for decades, and now he's going to find out what happened. The search for answers will take us into the recording industry of the ‘90s, into Michael Bivins' East Coast Family, into what life was like before the internet ruined us, into the definition of success and the nature of ambition. And that search may just solve an even bigger mystery: why can't he stop thinking about this?

Phil and Jake are joined by Efrem Schulz, a friend of the pod-- and vocalist for Death By Stereo, Voodoo Glow Skulls and Manic Hispanic-- to stack the whack of the the List of Every Damn Thing by ranking “Weird Al” Yankovic, the 1987 comedy film Spaceballs, and Warner Bros large-graphic cartoon t-shirts.Find Efrem on Twitter (@Efbystereo) and Instagram (@efbystereo). Check the brand-new Voodoo Glow Skulls album Livin’ the Apocalypse!

Grammar authorities say both “champing at the bit” and “chomping at the bit” are fine to use. Jake was wrong about how to write Weird Al’s name. The quotes go around “Weird Al” not just “Weird”. Weird, right? Weird Al songs (and videos) discussed include “Eat It”, “White & Nerdy”, “Tacky”, “Amish Paradise”, “Fat” and “Lasagna”. And of course we couldn’t skip his polka medleys (including “The Hamilton Polka”). Efrem tells a story about bonding over Weird Al with George Rebelo from Hot Water Music. George is a great guy and amazing drummer. Hot Water Music is one of the best bands ever. Chamillionaire retired from rapping and is now a venture capitalist in Santa Monica. Here he is over a John Tesh sample and here he is on an extremely 2005 Scott Storch beat. People forget his breakout hit was about racial profiling. We couldn’t find footage online of the MTV show Death By Stereo did with Coolio, but here’s an old post on punknews.org that proves it happened. Roast battle champion Mike Lawrence has a take on Spaceballs similar to Phil's wife's. We discuss the works of Mel Brooks, including Young Frankenstein, Blazing Saddles and Robin Hood: Men In Tights. Rick Moranis is at his best in Ghostbusters. Bill Pullman is at his best in Independence Day. He belongs in the air. We name-check lots of cartoon characters that one might find on an oversized t-shirt, including Taz, Betty Boop, Tweety Bird, Elmer Fudd and Foghorn Leghorn. There’s also mention of Yosemite Sam mudflaps. Phil & Jake both looked for evidence of Michael Bivins wearing WB merchandise, and couldn't find it. That doesn't mean it doesn't exist. It might be that he was too grown-up by the time these shirts came about.

Phil, Jake and Jason are joined by new guest Christina to gussy-up the List of Every Damn Thing by ranking the fictional princess Cinderella, the 80s glam-metal band Cinderella, and the hip-hop trailblazer Spinderella.If you have something to add to the list, email it to list@everydamnthing.net (or get at us on Twitter and Instagram). You can view the full list at everydamnthing.netSHOW NOTES: RIP to Shock G. of Digital Underground, who died not long before we recorded this episode. Jessica Rabbit is considered to be a Disney Princess by us. The character of Cinderella is so unremarkable in the 1950 Disney movie that they don’t even include her as an ingredient in this official trailer. Charles Perrault, who wrote the Cinderella story best-known in contemporary culture, is pretty much the father of the “fairy tale” genre. His works-- derived from folk stories-- also include Little Red Riding Hood, Puss In Boots and Sleeping Beauty. As we discuss in this episode, Brandy played Cinderella in the 1997 Rogers & Hammerstein’s Cinderella TV movie. Phil didn't mention it but when his wife listens to "The Boy Is Mine" she agrees that the boy is Brandy's. Jake, however, knows the boy is Monica’s. Jason didn’t mention that Drew Barrymore’s air fryer is part of a Wal-Mart Collection. We mention Princess Diana. You can get the Di-themed Beanie Baby for just $50k on eBay. I Was A Rat by Phillip Pullman is just fantastic. Phil recommends it.  Songs (and music videos) of Cinderella’s that we discuss include “Don’t Know What You Got Till It’s Gone” (partly shot in Bodie State Historic Park), “Nobody’s Fool”, “Somebody Save Me”, “Shake Me” and “Gypsy Road”. We also discuss their unremarkable deep-cut “Winds of Change” (not to be confused with “Wind of Change” by Scorpions). We engage in a bit of a hot-or-not session with metal guys, including Tom Keifer, Dee Snider, Stephen Pearcy (aka the guy from Ratt),Kevin DuBrow (aka the guy from Quiet Riot), Vince Neil, Brett Micheals, Slash and Jon Bon Jovi. Here's Michael Bivins (of Bell Biv DeVoe) in the video for “Motown Philly” by Boys II Men. Here’s a clip featuring the real voice of Gilbert Gottfried. The video for “Fresh” by Kool & The Gang is maybe the best interpretation of the Cinderella story and features the best K & the G song too. That's not our opinion, that's a fact. This trailer for the 1977 Cinderella erotic fairy tale movie that Phil saw as a kid acknowledges the foot fetish aspect of the story. The poster art for the movie is pretty great. Jake mentions that Salt-N-Pepa make an appearance in Coming 2 America. Spinderella does not. It looks like Hurby “Luv Bug” Azor was, in fact, in a relationship with Salt for a while in the 80’s. Jake should really know who Wendy Williams is. Jack Kirby continues to be Phil's example of someone who did work-for-hire in a creative field and didn't get paid. Jake was wrong: Spinderella is credited as a one of the producers on some of Salt-N-Pepa’s albums. But he was right when he guessed that she’s not even a performer on the album that features “Push It”. Here’s a clip from the Salt-N-Pepa Lifetime movie. We talk about the NWA song “I Ain’t Tha 1” (written and performed by Ice Cube). The lyrics are troublesome, but tame in comparison to some of his later more misogynistic songs.

The Sixers loss to the Cavs seemed to just be 'one of those games,' but did expose some larger issues for the team. We talk about those issues, Ben Simmons' continued offensive surge, whether the Sixers should consider trading for Kyle Lowry or Victor Oladipo, the comparisons of the current Sixers to the 08-10 Phillies, and what to do about urinal stage fright.   * Michael Bivins is not on the podcast as we said in the intro. We did have some technical issues and he will be on in a later episode.   The Rights To Ricky Sanchez is presented by Draft Kings Sportsbook.

On the heels of breaking down Another Bad Creation's "Ieasha" we explore the lineage that led to their creation by dissecting the original young R&B/hip hop group as we go deep on New Edition's epic throwback "Cool it Now".

Dante Hoagland is an American actor. He began his career quite young and has recently been offered several impressive acting projects. In his debut year, Dante lent his voice to a character in a popular American animation series. Two of his most prominent acting roles have been that of ‘Coco’ in the film 'Fading Gigolo' and ‘Howie’ in the thriller 'Emelie.' Dante played the young Michael Bivins, the founding member of the R&B group 'New Edition,' in the group’s biographical miniseries 'The New Edition Story.' Dante was featured in the music video of hip-hop artist Danny Brown’s song 'Grown Up.' He is also active on 'Instagram,' where he often posts pictures with his mother and siblings.

We're back it is Friday at the 35 acres and a microphone podcast farm I'm Aaron Goodwin, you are already here if you are within the sound of my voice. If you would do me a solid and share with a friend or post on a wall or tweet about this podcast that pays tribute to the true school of hip hop. Old school.. Real throwbacks. Not the 90's. I've said before the years we research are from 1980ish to 1989. And new jack swing's start signaled the movements end as radio play for the format rhythm chr or rhymthmic had been born. It was a Latino hispanic based format that eventually turned to a more afro-centric type feel as teddy Riley/ guy.. jodeci, and so many more... started taking the lead I qualify myself as a radio historian. Being in rhythm radio at the beginning and a fan of it, prior to. I live in a very agricultural area of central California and have retired from radio and now do parties and weddings asa mobile dj. This podcast is a labor of love for the fans and it helps me cope with all the crazy in the world and the actual action of producing voice and the types of things I did at radio I can do through this lil project. season 2 after a one year hiatus. 10 thousand downloads world wide weekly and it is neat being here in a America. Northern California.. and seeing the messages from our socials or the adds at the Facebook page and the foreign folks around the world. Names in other languages. How the culture invaded the far away china as American culture spawned there in the 80's and how asians rule the breakdance world in my opinion its all very cool and that drives me to the work to make this thing happen. All for Love is the third studio album by American R&B quintet New Edition, released by MCA Records on November 8, 1985. The album was certified platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). Also, this would be the final studio album to feature original group member Bobby Brown, who would shortly depart for a solo career until he would later return for their 1996 comeback album with the group, Home Again. By Spring 1985, New Edition was one of the biggest pop acts in the world after the success of their self-titled second album released the year before. However, the group was now in mortgage to MCA Records, as a result of having borrowed money from the label to disentangle themselves from a stifling production deal they mistakenly signed during the recording of their previous album. As a result, All for Love would become the first in a cluster of albums the group would be forced to record during this period to work off its debt. And While most of the members were comfortable with the group's direction, Bobby Brown was becoming increasingly discontent and unappreciative with its bubblegum pop image. Brown was also agitated at having not been more prominently featured as a lead vocalist on the album. Vincent Brantley, the album's main producer, had originally sought to give Brown more solo spots. However, MCA balked at this idea — insisting that Ralph Tresvant continue to be used on principal vocals. During a national tour in Oakland, California to promote the album, Brown often cut in on Tresvant's leads, performing more raunchily onstage, compared to his band mates. Also, Brown angered the group's management by disrespectfully throwing his mike in the air and being ungrateful when not getting his way onstage. Growing tension between Brown and his band mates eventually reached a standoff, which contributed to his being terminated from the group in December 1985. Following Brown's departure, New Edition would continue to promote All for Love as a quartet. Lets get to the singles which are some of the strongest the new edition ever did. The neat thing about rhythm in these days is you didn't know the name and artist but you sure knew the songs by sound. Made everyone an a&r person back then. Because you knew what you were hearing was genius and Ralph tresvant might very well be the best ever and beyond Michael Jackson as far as some were concerned back then as the best voice in r and b. And when you go back and listen. You can totally see the reason for the comparison and why Mca made the decision to keep him as lead once they secured them for the mortgage albums as the band thought. Without knowing the drama, I think in my mind these were some of the best bubble gummy bad ass tunes that were coming out tracks like "Count Me Out", "Count Me Out" was released as a single in September 1985 on the MCA . Much like the group's earliest single, "Cool It Now", again, lead singer Ralph Tresvant is warned by his friends (co-members Bobby Brown, Ronnie DeVoe, Ricky Bell and Michael Bivins) to not fall for a girl after he told them to "count him out" of any activities that they had planned to do much to his friends' dismay. The song's music video was notable for Brown's absence as he had broken from the group around the time of the video. Only Tresvant, DeVoe, Bell, and Bivins were in the video and parts of the song that originally belonged to Brown were lipsynced by Bell. Brown's vocals remain on the song. Despite a modest showing at number fifty-one on the pop singles chart, the song reached number two on the Billboard R&B singles chart. And here again as we talk about rhythm radio and the eighties the overt racism by mgrs and ads at radio opted to not buy in in markets like where I live a predominantly at the time white area. Older white male owners. Simply like the vote in California where you see the big cities they had radioes there and in those big cities new edition got played due to demographics   This is the second week of the new edition feature on my podcast the old school rewind last week's is posted and maybe in your downloads go check it out. We're parlaying and displaying.. the type of term you'd have heard back then. Car culture lowrider, The language has changed And the new edition are going through times in their life where they are old for sophomoric bubblegum tracks, but due to them each taking equal loans to buy out themselves from the prior deal they were in debt. And for me and my listening these are the magical songs and the music was progressing as it should The next single up from all for love is a little bit of love is all it takes. A favorite of mine and as I wiki'd to find some information on this single. There I nothing out there. Which to me is perplexing. Save that for another podcast. Let your ears do the listening and you'll feel the feel of new edition more than many of their tracks.. play a little bit of love is all it takes This is the second episode where one wasn't enough to feature the stellar work of the new edition. We're up to and maybe because I was a sophomoric kid going through the high school years I'm more clued into the broken heart girls being true to your girl. Alll of the things you'd expect from a ballad that is what NE was so good at doing Play "With You All the Way". Toward the year's end, Christmas All Over The World, a holiday EP, was released as well as an oldies album of tunes from the '50s sung by the group with an '80s production style. Earth Angel feat lil Anthony By 1987, New Edition was a group in transition. The band members were aging out of their teens into their twenties, and sought for their image and sound to reflect their coming of age. In addition to employing the famed production team of Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis to help steer the music in a new direction, they also recruited Washington, D.C.-based baritone/tenor Johnny Gill—who, in 1984, had scored a hit with R&B singer Stacy Lattisaw on "Perfect Combination". The New Edition members had actually known Gill since they released their hit "Candy Girl" in 1983 and Gill released his R&B Top 30 hit "Super Love" that same year. They had joked that they would let him in the group if he could improve his dancing skills. Prompting Gill’s entrance into the group was when lead singer Ralph Tresvant considered recording a solo album. To circumvent New Edition being left without a lead singer, Michael Bivins suggested bringing in 20-year-old Gill to replace him. Gill accepted the invitation, joining the group in the spring of 1987. Tresvant, however, wasn’t ready to leave— resulting in New Edition, inadvertently, becoming a quintet again as they began production on their fifth album, Heart Break.[5] While most of Heart Break features principal vocals by Tresvant, with occasional solos by Ricky Bell, Gill’s voice is significantly displayed as the secondary lead throughout the album. Gill took the lead on the track “Boys to Men”- a song in which the singer initially resisted and resented recording, feeling it was too juvenile. "Boys To Men" became one of the album's most popular numbers, despite it never being officially released as a single.[6] Another standout album track was “Competition,” a song written by Tresvant that addresses the disappointment felt over the departure of Bobby Brown two years earlier. One song in particular, "Where It All Started", was a thinly veiled jab at New Kids on the Block. The group was discovered by their former producer Maurice Starr as a direct response to New Edition severing ties with him on less than amicable terms.[7] In an ironic twist, Jam & Lewis- the writers and producers behind the song- would also work with New Kids on the Block's lead singer Jordan Knight on his 1999 self-titled debut a little over a decade later. The two groups would later team up for a duet on the latter's 2008 reunion album The Block. "If It Isn't Love" from 1988 and the first single from Heart Break. The song became the biggest hit from that album, getting into the top ten of the US Billboard Hot 100, peaking at number seven, and reached the second position on the Hot Black Singles chart. Its chart performance and well-received music video garnered the quintet their first nomination for Best R&B Performance by a "Duo or Group with Vocals" at the 31st Grammy Awards in February 1989. The song and video is also notable for being the introduction of fellow R&B singer Johnny Gill as a new member of the R&B quintet. Many have called this particular album the most seminal New Edition album. Four fans from Philadelphia in particular were inspired by one of the songs on the album. "Boys to Men", the song that Johnny Gill hated recording, ended up becoming the name of the group who changed their name to Boyz II Men. The group would end up being managed and mentored by Michael Bivins. Boyz II Men names New Edition as one of their most influential bands. The album also saw a successful concert tour for the group as well. Through 1988 and 1989, New Edition toured all over the world with opening acts, ex-New Edition member Bobby Brown (who had also found big time success with his breakthrough album, Don't Be Cruel) and Al B. Sure!.[5] Interesting note the R&B group Jagged Edge named their sophomore album J.E. Heartbreak as a tribute to Heart Break The new edition album. Here's the first single Play if it isn't love We're up to the second single Written and produced by Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis with Ralph Tresvant, Johnny Gill and Ricky Bell on lead vocals, this mid-tempo song is about a man being fancied by a woman who he thinks is not his type, and is trying to gently let her down. His friends, meanwhile, can’t understand his lack of interest in said female, who they believe is a catch. No matter all the success Though the song was a sizable hit on urban radio, peaking at #3 on the R&B charts in the fall of 1988— unlike its predecessor, “If It Isn’t Love,” it failed to make the same impression on Billboard’s Hot 100 singles chart—where it peaked at #95. The radio still hasn't changed but has made mark-ed progress at this time in 1988.. The music video for “You’re Not My Kind of Girl” is set to a concert performance of the song (which was led in by the music video for “If It Isn’t Love.”) The concert was held at Sony Pictures Studios in Culver City, California. New Edition held a radio contest for tickets to the taping, which were won by LA resident, Viveca McGuire. Play.
