127

[2441883]

Soul train Line: thumbs down. The ladies look sort of skank dancing to Rick James "Lucy (her name is Lucy cause she so loose!)". Mark of the degenerate in the line!

[JavonteTreble]

Ralph's face at 3:37 LMFAO. Homie was SERIOUS!

[radiodj1520]

I Believe This Was A Video Clip From The 574th Edition Of "Soul Train" On June 25, 1988.

[laurensunga]

Dang! Ralph! My hunny (: At 3:53, CLOSE ONE.

[JEEminn3000]

@laurensunga Oh, I seen it, he almost dropped the mike.

[laurensunga]

@JEEminn3000 Yup. Hahaha!

[LadeeKoko]

Damn I just went back to when I was 16 and was going to marry Ronnie cause we had the same birthday! Lmao! I loved this group.

[LadeeKoko]

Did that dude in the white suit ever make it down the line when he got up there? lol

[GAWatson1]

Can someone please tell me why does soul train always let the singer lip sync? I love this performances by New Edition but them lip syncing it make the performer look bad.

[IRON5]

@3:55 Ralph is a smooth man!!

[rakattack23]

i remeber watching this and seeing ralph hit the mic and catching it ..one heck of a catch ..what if the mic would of hit the ground?

[Coolyfett]

Hey man update the title and the tags!!! Make it say New Edition - Heartbreak so its easier to find.What is 127?

[TheAkd89]

[eihwazone]

[rakattack23]

[iluvralphtresvant]

sorry, im the biggest new edition fan. they are the wallpaper on my phonne, i have ALL the records/cds, am a VIP member of the new edition fan club, and i know all of their tour dates. i also know when one of them is starring in a musical this year!!!!! NE'S BIGGEST FAN....EVA!!!! I DNT PLAY WHEN IT COMES TO MY NE!

[jabon323]

There is no bigger New Edition fan than me! I am the same age as these guys so in a sense, I grew up with them. I saw this same performance on Soul Train. After the J 5 this is the best and original "boy band!" "N Sync", "Back Street Boys", and "New Kids" tried to imitate but could never duplicate. These artificial bands fizzeled out but the "real deals" are still kickin booty even though these "copy bands received way more exposure. These other groups were spinoffs of New Edition anyway!

[joealanouf]

for real!

[PDMGtv]

its sad that soul train doesnt even come on anymore..i couldnt wait as a kid til saturday afternoon to see who was performing

[joealanouf]

me too! andi was young then but loooved it. stil do

[ShortcircuitzTV]

2:42  he's weaqring a damned KARATE SUIT!

WTF???

[ShortcircuitzTV]

WTF???

The guy at 2:42 was wearing a fuckin KARATE SUIT!

And he's a WHITE BELT...which means he can't even fight.

[bhbaddest]

wow its sad to see that our dance world has been subjected to the soulja boy .... smdh.... but this is real dancing hey now

[miamivicepastels83]

@bhbaddest hold up now...he may not be able to rap all that great but soulja boy can dance his ass off when he wants to. i like this era, but i mean truth is truth

[gj2766155]

WHAT A FUCKIN CATCH. I never seen this I always use to check for N>E> on soul train and only caught a few preformances. Missed this until now.

[funderburkebobby]

Bobby Brown And The New Edition Comin' 2009

[Nickles31333]

when NEW EDITION was out other groups had 2 step there game up big x 2 bad they had such shitty managers they never got the propper exposure they deserved they killed wack st boys/nsync all those guys bit off of the kings besides the JACKSON 5 thats another story

[diegomondesi]

NE...CLASSIC!

Man, I miss these times...

[dapdaddy10]

Ralph had to be the perfect lead singer. Did you see him accidentally drop the mic and recover it before it fell to the floor? Check out 3:45.

[RegCrowd]

Yes! I remember watching that. What a catch!!!!

[rstar2008]

Yeah, as a performer you have to keep performing despite mistakes ( i.e. the infamous stage dive/fall by R&B Diva Beyonce )!

[SumthynnSpecial]

@dapdaddy10 i caught that when i first saw it and i said the same thing

[pCOCKPRO11]

@dapdaddy10 Yeah, that was gangsta. Dont know how he woulda played it off had it hit the ground but that actually made it better the way he spent it around and brought it up.

[280280a]

wats the song playing from the begginning called??? anyone kno?

[Harold81]

That song was called 'Lucille' by Rick James.

[MUSICENCYLOPEDIA]

Actually it's called "Loosey's Rap"

[rstar2008]

That was smooth how Ralph grabbed his mic after accidentally hitting off the stand - huh?!

[Chestun]

What mic did they use?

[Chestun]

What mic did they use?

[SanZac2002]

NE baby--so smooth!

[HypeRhymz]

Man they didn't even get to Mike bivens rap.

[GVocalz3]

Nice post, LOVED IT!! I know I'm gonna offend someone by saying this but you have to go back as far as the Temptations and the Jackson 5 to see that type of performance from a group that can sing and dance like that with precision and harmony, no one has done it since N.E.... sorry to all you N'Sync fans but I gotta keep it real! Boyz II Men came close nut no cigar, they were better singers though.

[MadameRee]

What is the name of this song they're going down the Line to. It sounds like Rick James.

[stillherelivtss]

It is Rick James' "Loosey's Rap" feat. Roxanne Shante.

[uzipolo]

looseys rap with roxanne shante which was more street edged at the time in the era of doing r and b tracks then raping on verse 3 or ...4

[scatterman66]

Go slick rick

[frankwhite007]

THIS is how much of a N.E fan i am at 3:52 Ralph hits his mic and it falls of the cradle he catches it b4 it hits the ground without missing a beat NOW the reason i know this is b-cuz i taped this video and watched over and over just 2 learn the moves...lol 4real

[EssentialClassic]

I just picked it up. lol. Ralph was the shit. I just wished that he didn't break from doing studio work from 1996 - 2005.

[Chestun]

what mic was it?

[frankwhite007]

this is for chestun -at the 3:52 mark Ralph (the lead singer) hits his mic stand which causes the mic to fall

[Chestun]

what mic did they use

[stillherelivtss]

Ah come on they should have let Johnny finish the song! The crowd was about to hyped! I hate when they do that....

[Azone01]

I would think that by then, "that show" would'nt give a f**k about the time contraints, because this song is one of the songs that "that show" should have let them finished. Another disappointment was not letting BObby Brown finish "My Perogetive" at the end of season 17 (the speaking part was cut off).

[stillherelivtss]

AH man! This is giving me MAJOR Flashbacks! :) :)

[ThanhLS88]

I agree with u, NickFRESH!! They usually did that with the dancelines, too! I mean it ends when you're bout 2 see your favorite dancers (male or female) strut they stuff or when they get 2 the good part of a certain song.

P.S.: In your future comments, please say ST or the show. Just spreadin the word, that's all.

[gsnman]

I believe I saw this episode on WDCA-TV 20 in Washington, DC, back in the second grade. Fantastic clip, Steven!

[KOSTORM23]

Thanks Phillip! You know me man, KO do what he do! ;-)

[Azone01]

I miss Nieci :( I beleive this was her last season as a "that show" dancer and Cheryl Song was on there for two more seasons before she retired.

[LuvMySmyL]

OMG Kostorm!!! I love NE.

I know all the steps!

[crunk617]

good looking KO. NE always kill it

[hfflfng6]

Thanks for all of your efforts posting these videos. They are very enjoyable. Keep up the good work.

[KOSTORM23]

hey thank you hfflfng6 i appreciate it ;-)

[MUSICENCYLOPEDIA]

Thanks for posting this. I had this on tape but I loaned it to a former friend and never got it back.

[adryan98]

"Loosey's Rap" by Rick James followed by one of ny favorite NE joints "N.E. Heartbreak" now that is a classic moment!

[baxstar]

OH YEAH! Yes once again the clips keeps on getting hotter and hotter by the minute.
