So true. I saw them in concert in the late 90's and my mind was blown away by their performance skills and their stage presence was phenomenal! #GetWellSoonWendy
They’re not underrated by the ones who grew up with them since the beginning. I have followed them since day 1 and I’m proud to say that I own every one of their albums, including solo and group. Great music is great music. Love these guys!
He just as good a singer and dancer as Mike but Mike was on a whole other level with his creativity and song writing but Ralph is a LEGEND and was and still is dope
Mario Weaver Lets not get carried away. Ralph was not close to that. Ralph was a GREAT singer, and a GREAT dancer, but on MJ’s level. Not at all. And that’s no disrespect to Ralph. MJ is just once in a lifetime
In the back back days there were Black records and charts and white records and charts. MJ was the first real crossover artist with Thriller. He had to fight to get on MTV. Finally his record company threatened to pull its white performer off the channel. One color line broken. I'm old enough to remember all this so it didn't surprise me to hear him say No. 1 Black record.
Your point is valid but Motown had crossover artists like the Temps and the Supremes before Mike. MJ may have been the biggest but he wasn't the first.
I think the difference is that the 'white charts' were not called 'white'. They were just the charts. Or were named for Rock and Country and Pop and were not named for a color. So it makes it seem like the Black Charts were segregated and black artists were restricted (even though George Michael was on there).
Yes, I remember that interview as well and I've seen the jealousy. The women have always loved Ralph and are always waving/screaming at him, until this day!!
Jessica Williams Did you ever get a Jet magazine from the 80s. In the back you had the Soul music top 20 albums and singles. No need to be low key pissed off.
Ralph's voice got better and better with age. He slayed w/ Sensitivity🥰, Stone Cold Gentleman n Do What I Gotta Do. Bobby had Janet n Whitney feuding over him cuz of twerking (humping around kinda songs) nasty boy. And Ronnie was basically an ornament to the group
Ralph had a mustache in the beginning check it out when they did Candy girl on American Bandstand my baby was born with one. He was so cute as a little guy with his. I love to watch them when they were kids Brook really groomed these little they were and still are professionals he promised them that he’d make them pros, but he also went beyond his promise he made them famous. Brooks is a a beautiful God loving soul, very rare a specially in those day when men didn’t show their love for God because they thought it made them seem like they were not men. How dumb they were I’m 80 I’ve come through it all. Speaking from experience..not hear say, been and is a true NE Life fan. My children are also grow all with them also great 👍 musicians and entertainers
I so remember all of this! Some very good memories and everytime I hear these guys sing it's electrifying for me! Especially Bobby! Loved them all then and I love them all now!
Naa Bobby was the most flamboyant on stage and off... I'm sure he introduced himself to all the ladies there and eventually Dick...Dick remembered him, Which is what Bobby does best...you always remember Bobby...
Why am I not surprised that Bobby said Rick James haha. Wow 1984 my High School Years and I was having a huge crushed on Ronnie Devoe. While the other Teenager girls,were having a crush on Ralph T. The lead singer of the group.
I would love to c Brook dance that has to b something awesome. Watching NE you’re watching the Genius of this amazing man. Every group that he’s touch has last forever. He gives all of it to God, he so n touch with God. Love that man. 😘💋🍼😍❤️🎉💙🙏🏼💕🙏🏾😇🍭🍿🎀
beech ass neegga!! word. Saturday mornings was the shit back in the day! I miss it. After cartoons went off you'd switch back and forth between soul train and American Bandstand.
Dick clarck knew all greats singers of the best music decades : 50s; 60s; 70 and 80s. Here, in brazil, the radios only features is the end and candy of them
On the Wendy Show today March 13, 2017; she announced that the "real New Edition" above and the Actors/singers from the movie "New Edition" are going on tour together..plans are in the making. i think they should add the "children actor/singers" who portrayed them in the film to the bill also.
ladieessence 15 in this chip but two years following this performance. And this is when he was voted out right when _All for Love_ dropped. They aged him two years in the miniseries.
Lipsynching was of that time....these guys most definitely got better & better with time!! Hope this moment is captured in their bio pic! Patiently waiting....9.26.15 #NEFAN4LIFE
Basically artists and groups were mainly on Soul Train and American Bandstand to promote their latest album or song thru their record companies. They mostly lip synced because they didn’t have live musicians playing.
You have to remember that was at a time mainstream radio was segregated. Even MTV didn't want to play Black music until Michael Jackson broke down that door for us. It was a different time.
I didn't know guys wore belts on the outside of their shirts back in the eighties/ this is my first time actually seeing this style on anybody from the eighties that's male/ I see Bobby wasn't feeling that look either and refused to put that belt on over his shirt and put a sweater on instead. He probably exchanged outfits with Ralph. and Ralph probably did it just so they could go on in peace and be on time for their performance. I could see that happening lol. nevertheless I still love them and I still love the performance but I just want to reach back in time and take them dam belts off them boys from the outside of their shirts
I don't recall guys wearing their belts like that in the 80"s, however I can definitely remember wearing my belts like that in the 80's as well as now. Don't know who got that twisted. It looks straight female.
Ralph is not an egomaniac and he sang plenty of the leads so I don't think he felt threatened at all by Bobby or Ricky singing. Ralph and Bobby are also great friends.
Imagyd Music Usually artist who do two songs seem to do the ballads first and then come back with a more upbeat tune. But the first song I had to FF. Lol
I love this performance just to educate most of the younger people back then nobody was ashamed of being black we didn’t need to be people of color minorities or urban.
Read somewhere (many moons) ago Ray Parker wrote and or produced it and was supposed to sing it but because it was too "A Woman Needs Love", he didn't.
All that touring that they did and were paid $1.87 each. They had enough for a box of milk duds, but not the movie. That's so effed up! #GetWellSoonWendy #GetWellSoonWendy
Bobby like "the hell with the dress code, I'm wearing red".
Jon Elder 😂😂
Jon Elder lmao....oh good ol VH1! This is the Vh1 I remember because they used to stay playing N.E. and marathon videos of MJ and JJ
Jon Elder lol
ricky did the same thing.....like damn white im wearing doo doo brown
Jon Elder 😂😂😂
Ralph got the loudest screams from the audience. 😂
And hes still fine til this day.....Ronnie too. 💞
Most primarily lead singers in groups gets the loudest audience screams.
The Girls were crazy for Ralph in the early days of New Edition!!
New Edition is super underrated. They had a great sound & amazing choreography.
So true. I saw them in concert in the late 90's and my mind was blown away by their performance skills and their stage presence was phenomenal!
#GetWellSoonWendy
They’re not underrated by the ones who grew up with them since the beginning. I have followed them since day 1 and I’m proud to say that I own every one of their albums, including solo and group. Great music is great music. Love these guys!
No they wasn't. Michael Bivins makes a lot of money
Totally not underrated. Where do you get that assumption? They are very respected and accomplished.
@@CardsharpChris Wow, nice collection!
Do you have the LP of "Once In a Lifetime Groove"?
Ralph says he was inspired to sing by MJ Sounds like MJ all the way , even in some of his singles.
He just as good a singer and dancer as Mike but Mike was on a whole other level with his creativity and song writing but Ralph is a LEGEND and was and still is dope
Mario Weaver Lets not get carried away. Ralph was not close to that. Ralph was a GREAT singer, and a
GREAT dancer, but on MJ’s level. Not at all. And that’s no disrespect to Ralph. MJ is just once in a lifetime
Antonio Murdock i agree! Ralph is a good singer & dancer but he is not on Michael Jackson level! MJ is in a class by himself! The King!!
They all thought they was MJ😄 everybody wanted to be him. Nothing wrong if you gonna be something might as well be the best...
He’s sounds nothing like that man, stop it😂
I know realize that red is Bobby's power color. Every time they wear different colors, Bobby ends up in red.
Yeah the Jump and shoot production they were signed to were making New edition wear the outfits that were given to them😅
They got better looking as they got older.
breanna S yes they did 😍have you seen the hot tonight video?
😆😆😆
A.k.a Boys To Men
ronnie was always cute
Not Bobby he looks terrible now

Your point is valid but Motown had crossover artists like the Temps and the Supremes before Mike. MJ may have been the biggest but he wasn't the first.

So it makes it seem like the Black Charts were segregated and black artists were restricted (even though George Michael was on there).
Blacks crossed over long before MJ came along.
@@turavalphacygni6234 honey MJ opened the pop charts and was THE FIRST BLACK ON MTV. Google it.
I remember watching an interview when they said they would get jealous when Ralph got the loudest yells, this performance was an example of that.
Yes, I remember that interview as well and I've seen the jealousy. The women have always loved Ralph and are always waving/screaming at him, until this day!!
What was the interview?
interesting ricky said Jeffrey Osborne, when they first song they sung together was "HOlding ON" lmbo
I believe that New Edition will be inducted into a hall of fame somewhere.
...and they just got better with time!
Bobby always did his own thing RED THAT'S Y HE IS A LEGEND
He was probably like I ain’t wearing that 😂
Loved this.. Mike looked Like a pirate!! Kill the Stylist!!
"#1 black single" wow and the 80s weren't that long ago....
Brandon Capo I thought I only heard that
Brandon Capo right that was a lowkey racial jab if i ever heard one
The Billboard R&B chart at the time was called the 'Black Singles Chart'... wasn't a jab from Clark, that's what it was called until about 1988.
lowkey pissed me off!
Jessica Williams Did you ever get a Jet magazine from the 80s. In the back you had the Soul music top 20 albums and singles. No need to be low key pissed off.
“Rick James influenced me” -Bobby Brown 🤣🤣
Both aqurias to
Rick was a pure genius !!! Music outta this world
I friggin luv them
Hope you are enjoying the movie on BET :) Thanks for watching.
i love the fact that they all had different influences
Look how adorable they were 😍
Ralph's voice got better and better with age. He slayed w/ Sensitivity🥰, Stone Cold Gentleman n Do What I Gotta Do. Bobby had Janet n Whitney feuding over him cuz of twerking (humping around kinda songs) nasty boy. And Ronnie was basically an ornament to the group
Wth this ornament comment make me 😂...I still luv them all but I'll admit I favor Ralph the most
@@1vondutchess RT is the man!! My Favorite!!
King of Pop Michael Jackson RI.P MJ
Ralph 15 with a full mustache
Nicki Stone I'm weak 😂😂😂
Cee Jayy He was 16 here.
Ralph had a mustache in the beginning check it out when they did Candy girl on American Bandstand my baby was born with one. He was so cute as a little guy with his.

Grew not grow
I so remember all of this! Some very good memories and everytime I hear these guys sing it's electrifying for me! Especially Bobby! Loved them all then and I love them all now!
Bobby Brown was so chill in that interview; I'm shocked! He's usually so "extra".
Whenever I hear them sing Mr Telephone man I think of Ray Parker JR
I remember seeing this episode when I was little we use to watch this every Saturday
Yes remember it like yesterday doesn't seem like its been over 30 years
HS, did I just see Bobby throw down the moonwalk?
Yes I did. He's always had stage presence like a mf.
Classic
Belt on the outside, Ninja 80's style . Wow !
at 4:52 Ronnie and Ricky look pissed that he has Bobby introducing the band
It kinda makes tho sense he started N.E.
most def its disrespectful by Dick to do that
Naa Bobby was the most flamboyant on stage and off... I'm sure he introduced himself to all the ladies there and eventually Dick...Dick remembered him, Which is what Bobby does best...you always remember Bobby...
Wow! I just love this group! Especially Bobby Brown!
Now THEY'RE influences for other people, amazing
He said Bobby, and Bobby checked his ass like Ruffin, I’m sorry I mean Bobby Brown Lol
Bobby would say rick james is his influence. 😑😑😑
Jon Elder lolll right
I mean have you heard rick James’s funk the man is underrated if anything RICK is amazing musician so talented
Why am I not surprised that Bobby said Rick James haha. Wow 1984 my High School Years and I was having a huge crushed on Ronnie Devoe. While the other Teenager girls,were having a crush on Ralph T. The lead singer of the group.
but he sure did do that moon walk on @3:25...
U got a problem no Higgs talks shit bout my man bob and gets away with it
New Edition is the best of all time.
You can tell back then that Bobby didn't like being the background cat.
Bobby Brown is cool and awesome
From boys to men
Ralph have the best singing voice
i should have married ralph then We would happily ever after. The beautiful children we would have had.
lol
That is, until Johnny Gill came along....
I was so madly in love back then take me back to the 80’s when there was video soul marathons❤️❤️😊
I remember riding with my Pop's listing to this!!!
I would love to c Brook dance that has to b something awesome. Watching NE you’re watching the Genius of this amazing man. Every group that he’s touch has last forever. He gives all of it to God, he so n touch with God. Love that man. 😘💋🍼😍❤️🎉💙🙏🏼💕🙏🏾😇🍭🍿🎀
Aww a very young New Edition these brothers came a long way may god continue to bless them.
I actually remember when this came on American Band Stand. Wow!
Why haven't they did a telephone commercial, this song is perfect
Looking back on this Bobby really made Mr Telephone man great
I was 16, ABS came on satudays at 12pm.I saw this!..Ray Parker Jr produced the song..
Oh man. Always a trusted talent show favorite back in the day.
Ralph is so cute, looks so innocent
I just love it that Bobby's musical influence was Rick James. Hahahaha! The man was a musical genius...just liked the drugs a little too much.
tiwan carr they all were obviously influenced by all of the stars, he didn't say Rick James was his only influence
sinjin4562, nor did I write that Rick James was his only influence.
So young and cute, with young voices, that have now changed, forever.
lol look at those young faces nosatalgia baby then they blew up everybody should know those faces now !
you have to 40+ to even remember American band stand Saturday morning ABC network eating cap n crunch cereal underros pj's on love being a 70's baby
beech ass neegga!! word. Saturday mornings was the shit back in the day! I miss it. After cartoons went off you'd switch back and forth between soul train and American Bandstand.
jerbojones facts
Lol damn
I’m not 40+ and I remember. I was young but I still remember
40 years ago!!!!
Bobby !Bobby!Bobby!😍😍😍💓💓💓
Mike Bivins is my big boy today
Amazing …… ❤
I remembered hearing this song around the time September of 1984. I was just ready to start kindergarten . LOL
Marcus Cesaire you and me both

I was starting college when these songs came out and missed this AB episode. I loved listening to NE in high school.
I tell you this at that time we really didn't that much about what he said. All I know is that I was excited to see them on bandstand.
Maravilhosa banda, saudades...
Loved this group
when he said ralph tresvant ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh baby daddy
IKR!! 😍
So at this age Bobby became a daddy. Dang.
ladieessence 15 in this chip but two years following this performance. And this is when he was voted out right when _All for Love_ dropped. They aged him two years in the miniseries.
David Richardson wait so he got a girl pregnant at 15 or 17?
Cynthia 17.
ladieessence No 1986 he did
Truth be told, Ralph had a baby on the way, before Bobby ever did
wow this is extraordinary talent
Ralph lv u
Lipsynching was of that time....these guys most definitely got better & better with time!! Hope this moment is captured in their bio pic! Patiently waiting....9.26.15 #NEFAN4LIFE
NE didn't lipsinging...that was their voices
almost everyone lip synced on American Bandstand & Soul Train
Basically artists and groups were mainly on Soul Train and American Bandstand to promote their latest album or song thru their record companies. They mostly lip synced because they didn’t have live musicians playing.
Joe Taylor Lisa fischer didn’t lip sync on soul train
Young and innocent. Time flies
Bobby there! Super cute!
bons tempos.... evaldo.
lol Bobby looked low key possessed by a witch for a split nano second @ 2:40
hater
TCB MO Lmao
TCB MO lmao I saw that 😂 his eyes went big
Lol I spotted that too
He made that same face when he starts singing the first verse in On Our Own while he's wearing that Slimer green suit lol
they had them steps down pack
So UNDERRATED!
Bivins said Jacksons and Ralph said Michael damn
😫🤩🔥
Only Ricky and Bobby look fresh in this whereas they all look fresh to death in the purple sequins
I like this video
Mike B
That belt
Bobby B is missing almost all the dance steps New Edition fan 4 life
that's bobby for u
Why did he say the number one black single record? Why couldn't it just be the number one record.
You have to remember that was at a time mainstream radio was segregated. Even MTV didn't want to play Black music until Michael Jackson broke down that door for us. It was a different time.
positive1 That's probably what would be an r&b single now.
Absolutely!
positive1 because back then they separated rnb charts from other music. MJ changed that.
I was thinking the same thing ! It would of been on if they tried that now. The whole audience is white awkward they probably dont know the damn song
I didn't know guys wore belts on the outside of their shirts back in the eighties/ this is my first time actually seeing this style on anybody from the eighties that's male/ I see Bobby wasn't feeling that look either and refused to put that belt on over his shirt and put a sweater on instead.

I don't recall guys wearing their belts like that in the 80"s, however I can definitely remember wearing my belts like that in the 80's as well as now. Don't know who got that twisted. It looks straight female.
they presented Bobby as the lead..not Ralph. he must have been pissed..should have done cool it now FIRST.
they did not!
Ralph is not an egomaniac and he sang plenty of the leads so I don't think he felt threatened at all by Bobby or Ricky singing. Ralph and Bobby are also great friends.
+kokolatte825 exactly
Imagyd Music Usually artist who do two songs seem to do the ballads first and then come back with a more upbeat tune. But the first song I had to FF. Lol
They came from Chicago Illinois
I love this performance just to educate most of the younger people back then nobody was ashamed of being black we didn’t need to be people of color minorities or urban.
These guys should have been compensated a lot more than they were.
今まで
Candy Girl は
可愛い女の娘が歌って
居ると思っていた !!
I wish I was born around this time just to be able to be with Ralph but the fashion in that time a big NO NO cool it now!
This song has that Ray-dio sound to it...
1958-2009
Fancy Footwork
If you have a time machine hit me up. One way only plz
ooh
The music sounds a lot like Ray Parker Jr.'s "A Woman Needs Love" because he wrote it.
Yes it does!!
Read somewhere (many moons) ago Ray Parker wrote and or produced it and was supposed to sing it but because it was too "A Woman Needs Love", he didn't.
If you look closely Bobby be doing the wrong moves 😂😅
could you all believe i personal know the guy that produced this single
Cederic Rodgers Ray Parker Jr
Didn't New Edition perform this song on American Bandstand wearing matching wardrobe?
is it me or mike bevins was like Otis Williams in the temptations, bobby david ruffin, ralph eddie kendricks,
All that touring that they did and were paid $1.87 each. They had enough for a box of milk duds, but not the movie. That's so effed up!
