  • I Absolutely ADORED (and still do) This Song!!! Thanks for appreciating it too!

  • @willowdunc04 It's a beautiful song

  • love this song

  • I'm about to cry over here!

  • Beautiful!!!

  • This sounds like something that Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis wrote.

  • After hearing this song from the "Dragnet" soundtrack, how could New Edition have not wanted Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis to produce "Heart Break"??

    One word: CLASSIC!!

  • great romantic ballad fromthe boys back in1987.

  • Nice Job Makaya.

  • @hiram116 Thank you.

  • comparing their wives is pointless, u dumb asses. if ur a true NE4Life fan, just be happy for all of them. nuff said.

  • Scratch that, Devoe's wife is fly.

  • Biv's wife is fly.

    although it figures some ASSHOLE would say ricky's wife is the prettiest. NOT!

  • omg that was so awesome i love new edition sooooo much man their wives are so lucky

  • This is the mood Im in right now!! lol

  • They all have beautiful wives but Ricky Bell has the prettiest wife of them all! I'm so happy for all the guys of New Edition! I'm glad they are able to experience love along with the HUGE, HUGE success they have and I wish all those marriages the best of love, not LUCK!

  • cool

  • This is one of the breathtaking songs I love from way back when.  Simply beautiful.

  • Wow, i totally forgot about songs like these.

  • I love this video

  • This is one of my favorite songs. I love NE. NE fan 4 life!!

  • speechless...yo all hit it on the nose

  • they used to play this song for couple's skate at the rink! holding hands skating with ur boo!!!! wishing he was ralph tresvant!! LOL

  • i bought the dragnet soundtrack just for this song & till this day i still have it on cassette.

  • this song is just the essence of beauty expressed in spoken word... this song expresses what people go thru when they actually are helplessly in love such as myself... this is the song that just emphasises the beauty of New Edition... Bravo boys... you guys really touched my heart with this song

  • I love this song. You hear it so rarely.

  • thanks for making this video new edition is my favorite group of all time I am a big fan of ricky bell he really can sing all of them look happy. this is my favorite song of all time

  • when my friend pulled this outta her ipod earlier in the night, I just new I had to listen to it again. It's a good song.

  • Mayka77 My heart just dropped, such a beautiful song and so many memories. The One Love Album at the end......shoulda got more recognition

  • You really don't hear these kinds of love songs anymore.

  • You really don't it's awesome!

  • @Makya77 This is one of my favorite songs and remind me of how I feel about my wife. I grew up in the New Edition 80s and early 90s. I love good love songs!

  • I dont know why this song is slept on so much? Since the first time I heard it years ago I fell in love with it. Beautiful lyrics along with the music. This is what love is about

  • Another great production by Jam and Lewis! This song was featured in the movie "Dragnet". Ralph is a great singer!

  • a beautiful song by a beautiful group. i will always love new edition and they are by far my favorite group of all time.

  • This jam was soooo slept on. One of the prettiest songs ever.

  • leaving you again is a good slow jam too

  • Right next to "Can You Stand the Rain", this is one of NE's best slow jams ever!

  • ricky has an unbelievable voice

  • I agree wit u and i think johnny gill does to

  • Hey I like Maryann too. I listen to it once in awhile.

  • A very true fan of New Edition I know the lyrics to everyone of there songs, and this is one of my favs same as Maryann. Shot out to you for making a video they finally are in love.

  • ?I'll be a die hard NE fan till I die!

  • I love this song so much but i have my lover♥♥♥

  • i so miss the 80s it was such a good decade for music

  • this song is in the film dragnet

  • Such a shame good music like this isn't made anymore.

    Maybe because they took music out of schools. The world sucks now.

    I need a time machine[2]

  • Such a shame good music like this isn't made anymore.

    Maybe because they took music out of schools. The world sucks now.

    I need a time machine.

  • Those are some beaufiful wedding pictuers too, I have never seen any of those, wow I didn't even know that Ricky was married Has Biv got married yet, I used to love this song, Ricky and Ralph sang the heck out this song.

  • Biv is married, but I didn't have any pics of him and his wifey.

  • Another great song by NE. Makya77, this is a really nice video u did!

  • Thanx, I seriously appreciate it.

  • this song is so great to hear when you just love someone so much and u just cant stop thinkin about them.. i just start start smiling thinkin of the memories that i share with that person...♥

  • OMG one of my favorite NE songs! I love the way Ralph's sings this...I love his voice..

  • (sigh) another one of those songs that reminds me of unrequited love...when I'd fall in love without so much as a kiss and cry after my efforts produced no fruit. Now let me think back to who I was mad about at 13 in the eight grade. JOCELYN BROADNAX!!! Kennedy High School in Willingboro, New Jersey and the year was 1987.

  • I do the same thing! When I hear one of these songs from back in the day I try to remember who I was crushing on when it was out. lol.

  • this song is the best put to gether song I 'ved ever herd

  • This song is the best song ever hands down. The love songs out now can't even compare to this! This song will never get played out. It's emotional, it touches the heart, and it speaks from the heart. I gurantee, if you play this song with your girl next to you, it will melt her heart. It's a true love song. Why can't we find songs like this right now? Because there's too much focus on bumpin' and grindin' and not doing what it takes to get to know the girl you are with!

  • And the love in my heart, is for you!!!!

  • They did have a double ceremony.

  • NE for Life!!! I believe Ricky and Ralph got married together in a double ceremony

  • this is a BEAUTIFUL song ,they rip this song period

  • great tunes , made for makin' love to :)

  • reminds me of "tender love" by forc md's

  • Both were written by Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis. Their sound is easily recognizable, but they are arguably the best R&B production team of the past 20 years.

  • i have this song on my ipod along with a million more new edition songs. i am their #1 fan

  • I freakin love New Edition!

  • i no they rock

  • Great song

  • I love this song so much, the next time I get married I'll play it at my wedding .

  • ive never been married b 4 but this song got me out on a limb.

  • Wow!!! This song makes me want to cry!!! I miss being in love.

  • one of their best songs and never got the recognition that it deserved good song post

  • a lot of their songs didn't get the recognition that they deserved

  • I like this song! This wasn't one of their hits was it? If not then it should've been.

  • Oh yea this is definitely an NE song ma'am it was the main theme in the movie adaption of dragnet, Tom Hanks Dan Akroyd. 87' I think.

  • You are correct. The success Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis had with these guys on this song led them to produce 'Heartbreak', the best NE album produced, which gave us nice songs like 'NE Heartbreak', 'Can You Stand The Rain', 'Boys to Men', etc.

  • Co-sign!  Such a beautiful song, should have been bigger.

  • it is on there greatest hits cd I have it,it's new edition gold

  • This song can describe exactly how you feel about that special girl. NE are still one of the best groups ever.

  • LOVED this song during the Summer of 87". I was 14 and in love. u can't get good music like this nowadays. Glad I grew up in this fantastic era.

  • I agree soooo much with cha!

  • @Kikibells me too

  • I grew up loving new edition. Where did all the good music go? One of my faves

  • This one of the best songs of all time! I remember when it first came out and it was the jam of that summer! NE is the best and they will always will be! Peace to all their fans and real music lovers all over the world!

  • this is such a nice song!

  • Listen to the 2:20 mark. Ralph is feeling it & calling on the Lord... ha!

  • This song still hurts after all these years..So many people have came in and out of my life..One of the greatest songs with so much meaning to it...

  • I have always referred to "Helplessly in Love" as one of the lost NE songs. It didn't get alot of airplay not even on "The Quiet Storm". I have always loved it!!! It was tender and romantic. I've been a fan of NE since day one. And this song also "Once in a lifetime Groove" I've probably heard each 5 times in my life. They were completely steamrolled!!!

  • I couldn't agree more with what you've said here. I remember this song being briefly played during a scene in the film, "Dragnet," and used to rewind that part of the movie just to hear it the little bit of the song that I could.

  • lol that's funny cuz i did the samething way back then. now years later the song still gets played on the ipod

  • o.k. because pls believe its on my ipod to.

  • This song right here clarify's why Ralph Tresvant is the lead singer of NE..people say Johnny Gill and some say Ricky..both are exceptional singers..but Ralph's tone and emotion in his vocals is what i think solidify's him as NE's front man.,,and it shows..Great Video by the way this is my fave NE song of all time!eventhough it didn't get the credit it deserved..should have been a hit.

  • Summer of 87 there is a sick remix of this

  • Yeah it's a fast beat and it's pretty clean. I used to have the mp3 on my old computer but now i don't have it. I've been trying to find it all this time....

  • Check out Ralph Tresvant's new song for 2008 on his website.

  • whats the site???

  • where is it

  • Never knew the closin' of a door could open up a heart..since the day we meet I need you(in my life)!! I'm just helplessly in love...ohhh!!!

  • One of thes NE songs i was a diehard fanatic. I thought I was candy girl lol. I've always wanted to meet them in person.

  • Gotta catch em' on tour. I missed them when they were here in the Philly area.

  • i love this video but i wish he would have included bobby

  • you are stpit

  • your mother

  • This song is the best love song ever! A true love song from the heart that means something. They don't make songs like this anymore, and I think they never will since all the sex, bump and grind songs have replaced songs like this. It's a shame. Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis, where are you? New Edition, needs to get back to their roots!

  • True observation. You are wise!!

  • This song is 'close' to being the best love song ever. It's a toss-up for me between 'Can You Stand the Rain' by NE and 'Sunshine' by Alexander O'Neal. When J&L were on, they were on: 'When life's troubles come around and they start to bring me down I call my sunshine...because there's no other remedy strong enough for me but her love. I can never keep myself away, cause when I'm next to her, I feel the warm rays reaching out from her love...'

    Wow...that song still makes my wife cry!

  • is that 1 of the former members of the group blaque at 1:26 with ron?

  • Yes. Shamari, that's Ron's wife.

  • 59:00-1:12,1:35-1:40,1:49-1:53 are the best parts of the whole song.

  • Ricky Bell blew that shit! Classic.

  • This song was on the Dragnet soundtrack.One of their best the first Jam and Lewis callabos.

  • It took me sooooo many years to get that song because it was so slept on. I finally purchased it about two years ago on a best of compilation. Never mind that I already owned N.E.'s albums on Vinyl yes vinyl - later was forced to upgrade to cd's to follow the times. I still had to have that 1 record..lol..and I STILL have my vinyls they may be a little worn but I was/am an N.E. fan.

  • Jam and Lewis produced this one and it was the jam. you can hear their signature sound all over it, it also sounds a lot like can you stand the rain. Ricky did kill the high notes.

  • yo the song is so hot, and this blob is hotter, nice really nice

  • 1:35-1:40

    is my favorite part of the whole song. Ricky killed that

  • THAT WAS SOOOO BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!!!!!

  • I bought this song on there 2 disc CD set that they put out at Wal-Mart.

  • What a beautiful song.

  • Great video. Interesting one too.

  • Anything new from the guys?

  • that was good editing

    i love it i especially love the song!

    good job*

  • my shit

  • Great Ballad aint it? Shame only the real fans took note of it.

  • I saw the movie "DRAGNET" with tom hanks,dan akroyd and thought that song was smooth and wanted to get it.But know that i saw this vid,UUGGHH!! never mind!!

  • You can find the song on one of their compliations albums,"HITS"!!! I tried for the longest time to find the DRAGNET soundtrack for it,but it is VERY OUT OF PRINT! Enjoy it as much as I have!

  • This song should have been on the Heartbreak lp, but it was'nt since Johnny Gill was'nt in it. Around the time this song was released, Johnny Gill entered in the group and the boys and Jimmy Jam/Terry Lewis were getting ready for the Heartbreak project.

  • don't be mad hater!!!!

  • LMAO!! that was the gayest thing ever!!

  • sound like you hating to me!!! what you mad?

  • did Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis make this song? It reminds me of hat Song by the Force Md's called "Tender Love".

  • yes, Jam & Lewis did write and produce this song

  • All these old jams will always float around in my head. Thanks for posting and letting me hear them outside my head. I loved NE since the candygirl/Maurice Star days.

  • ralph & ricky killed it

  • One of the best ballads....EVER! It's also the first NE song I ever liked. Maybe people slept on it because it was the love theme for the comedy movie "Dragnet"  Still though, mad props for posting this.

  • new edition has alot of good songs old and new. you should take the time to listen to them. here are just a few, re-write the memories, leave me, still in love, etc.

  • people sleep on this classic. top ten new edition song ever.

  • Yes Indeed!

  • i just want you to know that you did your thang with this video. it is so pretty and i feel more in love with them every time i see this video. you need to make some more using other songs, from new edition of course. from n e #1 fan since 1983.

  • This is my absolute jam from NE. Awesome post.

  • That was a bittersweet video. I loved it, but I just KNEW I was going to be THE Mrs. Ronnie DeVoe! LOL! =) Great vid!

  • Love IT

  • i love this song. but then again, i love all of their songs. it's a "b" side song.

  • Great video! This song just melts my heart. I had to watch it twice. I know I'm getting old...which album is this from?

  • I don't know what album it was originally from, but It's on the New Edition Hits album.

  • I LOVE THIS!!!! GREAT JOB! how did you put it

    together?

  • Windows movie maker. It's installed on your computer believe me. Just check it out.

  • it's from the soundtrack to the movie dragnet
