“New Editions pt. 1″ The Ralph Tresvant Story

July 23rd, 2008

Team Brandnewz want to send a big shout out and a big thanks to “JUANITA MCCRAVY” for her exceptional video recording. We see that love still is alive and very well and where else better than at a New Edition concert to pop the big question. Congratulations’ to the future newlyweds Mr. and Mrs. Levelle, Bridget Moton making it official, “best wishes again you crazy in love kids!”

New Edition was originally formed in Boston, Massachusetts in 1980. New Edition was first recorded as a Jackson 5-esque collection of five young black teenage singers, including lead singer Ralph Tresvant, and vocalists’ geniuses Ricky Bell, Bobby Brown, Michael Bivins, Ronnie DeVoe and Johnny Gill. Tresvant has always stood out as #1 nevertheless, on the R&B charts.

New Editions, Ralph’s Tresvant has been often compared to some of music’s greatest entertainers like Mr. Let’s Get It On, Marvin Gaye and the king of pop, Michael Jackson because of his silky smooth vocal style, creative dance steps, and amazing stage presence, it’s no wonder why the ladies love him. Ralph’s super star entertainment reminds most pop fans of MJ, especially when Ralph starts to harmonized smash R&B hit “Candy Girl,” “Cool It Now” and “If It Isn’t Love.”

“Sensitivity” was written by two of the most incredible producers ever Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis. “Sensitivity” hit #1 and #4 on the Hot 100 and it went gold. His self-titled album released shortly after in 1990 and went platinum as well, topping the R&B charts. The album scored two more hits with “Stone Cold Gentleman” reaching #3 on the R&B charts and “Do What I Gotta Do” which reached #2.

Like the Jackson 5, New Edition became a pop phenomenon, big enough to have Madonna as an opening act during their early days in the early 1980s. New Edition has sold more units in the United States than any other teen singing group ever. Legendary music icon Dick Clark once said that Ralph Tresvant is an amazing timeless artist that reminds him of the late great Marvin Gaye.

Tresvant has not only captured listeners but viewers as well. In 1991, Ralph appeared in Reginald Hudlin’s House Party 2 and in 2002 the play, “The Man Of Her Dreams.” In 1993, he released his second album, It’s Goin’ Down. The album gave Tresvant greater involvement and say so as he produced many of the tracks himself.

Ralph continues to entertain and excite his fans around the world with his god-given gifts and humble attitude. According to Tresvant, this is just the beginning of the next phase of his career. Tresvant promises to keep on entertaining and releasing new music for the years to come as he thrives to create new music and new projects, while mastering his production and writing skills. For more information on Ralph Trasvant and the new love in his life tune in to “My RDC” and BRANDNEWZ.COM tomorrow, to see what’s on “Mr. Telephone Man’s” mind.
