It's 3 Play Thursday. Today: Legendary R&B group, New Edition.
Like every other kid who came of age during The Greatest Decade Evar, I grew up listening to Ronnie, Bobby, Ricky, Mike, Ralph, and sometimes Johnny. Being a Bobbt Brown fan, I think the group took a nosedive when he went solo. Replacing Bobby with Johnny Gill was like replacing Jordan with Pete Myers. We all remember how well that went. Sadly, like most great groups, these guys succumbed to petty infighting and typical industry nonsense, but they're still touring as a group, and when he's not on a reality show or in rehab (or both), B-Brown occasionally joins them.
Here's a trio of my favorite NE tunes. Cop them headphones and go in.
J.Cole - "If It Isn't Love"
"NE Heartbreak"
"You Don't Have To Worry" (Remix)
Question: What's your favorite New Edition tune? Did they sorta lose it when Bobby left?
