New Edition is an American R&B/pop group from the Roxbury neighborhood of Boston, Massachusetts, formed in 1978 by singer/rapper Bobby Brown. Their name is taken to mean a new edition of the Jackson 5. The group reached its height of popularity in the 1980s and is considered the blueprint for what would become the modern boy band. The lineup originally consisted of Ricky Bell, Michael Bivins, Ronnie DeVoe, Bobby Brown, and Ralph Tresvant. Brown left the group in late 1985 to begin a successful solo career, and they continued as a quartet for one album, before adding Johnny Gill to the lineup in 1987. Early hits included "Candy Girl", "Cool It Now", and "Mr. Telephone Man".Tresvant was the lead singer on most of the songs.In 1990, both Gill and Tresvant released their own solo albums, while the remaining three members formed the trio Bell Biv DeVoe; the group ceased to work together for the first half of the 1990s.

演艺经历

1978年，在音乐制作人Maurice Starr的策划下,来自波士顿的三个少年Bobby Bobby Brown、Michael Bivins和Ricky Bell成立了一支三人合唱团体。

1987年初，在Michael Bivins、Ricky Bell和Ron DeVoe的引荐下、来自华盛顿特区的年轻黑人歌手Johnny Gill加入了团队。

1990年发行的专辑《Poison》大获成功，拿下三百金的骄人成绩。

1996年，New Edition终于实现了当年对歌迷们的承诺，六人再度聚首，并录制发行了八年来首张专辑《Home Again》。

2004年的秋天，New Edition终于携新专辑《One Love》回归。专辑取得了白金的稳定销量，并长期停留在Billboard榜的十位左右。

2005年秋天，New Edition举办了成立25周年的大型演唱会，NE的五位成员们将他们的所有个人和团队代表作全部Remix表演了一遍。Bobby Brown作为特邀嘉宾前来捧场，还即兴演唱了一首RMX版的《Mr。Telephone Man》，这首歌是Bobby主唱的首支热门单曲，颇具纪念意义。经过深思熟虑和好友召唤下，Bobby重新加入了New Edition，完美六人组终于再次走到了一起。
