Bio New Edition' is an American R&B group formed in Boston, Massachusetts in 1980, that was most popular during the 1980s. Guided by producer Maurice Starr, New Edition was originally a Jackson 5-esque collection of five young black teenage singers, including lead singers Ralph Tresvant and Bobby Brown, and vocalists Ricky Bell, Michael Bivins and Ronnie DeVoe. The group was notable for number one singles such as: "Cool It Now," "Candy Girl," and "Mr. Telephone Man." Their success led to the creation of late-1980s and 1990s boy bands like New Kids on the Block, the Backstreet Boys, and 'N Sync.
