40 Years Ago - 1983 New Edition released their debut album Candy Girl.
First of all, I apologize. Good God, this is horrible. But you can't deny that the members of this group became huge stars (whom I do like.)
New Edition was created by Bobby Brown after a failed talent show due to stage fright. That's when Ricky Bell and Michael Bivins were added, then Ralph Tresvant was added.
The name was given to them by Brooke Payne, choreographer and uncle of Ronnie DeVoe who decided the group would be better choreographed with five members so he added Ronnie. They were 14 to 16 years old when their first single "Candy Girl" was released. (#46 #17 Club #1 R&B.)
They took off and popular rapper Kurtis Blow was their opening act.
The third song..and by this time my ears were bleeding "Popcorn Love" made #25 R&B.
I loathe this album with every fiber of my being. I think it's the prepubescent voices on just absolute pop dreck.
Don't talk to me about them till we get to 1988 and their fifth album which features "If It Isn't Love."
