New Edition

Ralph, Ronnie, Ricky, Bobby and Mike. Where so big at one time that they had Madonna as their opening act.

The group debuted with “Candy Girl” which went #1 in the states and in the UK charts. Returning from their first major concert tour, the boys were dropped back off to their homes in the projects and were given a check in the amount of $1.87 a piece for their efforts. The decided to part ways with the Starr record label to sign with MCA records and release their second album. New Edition parted company with Starr in 1984 (Starr responded by promptly creating the group New Kids on the Block). They released their second album which was self titled “New Edition” and it eclipsed the first one with hits like “Cool it now” and “Mr Telephone man”.

Following the success of the New Edition album, the group was dismayed to learn that while they believed they were signed to MCA Records, in truth, they had actually been misled into signing a deal with an outside production company—which had its own deal with MCA. Each group member borrowed five hundred thousand dollars from MCA in order to disentangle themselves from that deal, which would allow them to continue to record for MCA directly. This, however, put the group into liability with the label, and would force them to continually record simply to get out of debt.
