This special episode features the music of New Edition.

It all started with 5 young boys aged 13 to 15 from the Boston (Roxbury), Massachusetts projects known as Orchard Park.

We will start with their discovery by Maurice Starr and Streetwise Records to their illustrious career at MCA Records and beyond.

From bubble gum to new jack swing

From group to solo

From success to despair

Yes, “Ronnie, Bobby, Ricky, & Mike, Ralph and Johnny too...”

Whether it’s a group of 5 or 6, solo, or their many configurations; B.B.D, Heads of State, or RBRM, they have staying power.

New Edition are entering their 5th decade of making music and entertaining their loyal fans. There is no doubt that they have been able to stand the rain and always find their way home again.
