The group originally formed in 1978 and broke into the music scene in the 1980’s. They are known for the hit songs “Candy Girl”, “Mr. Telephone Man” and “Cool It Now.” Between the highly successful solo careers of members Bobby Brown, Ralph Trevsant, and Johnny Gill- along with the phenomenal success of New Edition offshoot, Bell-Biv-DeVoe (best known for their 4-times platinum crossover hit, “Poison”), New Edition was more than a band-- they were a movement, racking up over 30 million records sold.
With their record-shattering catalogue of hits, New Edition remains one of the most influential touring groups of all time, having pioneered the Boy Band craze and created a classic sound and style that has changed the landscape of popular music.
