Cool It Now: The Story of New Edition (HD)

REAL MUSIC. RAW TALENT.

Often compared to the Jackson Five, New Edition took the world by storm with their smooth vocals and polished footwork starting in the early 1980's. The group paved the way for other popular boy band acts that would follow and they also helped to influence the New Jack Swing sound that became popular in the late 80's and early 90's. New Edition has received numorous awards and recognition over the years and their music has even been featured in a popular video game. In addition to singing with New Edition, Johnny Gill also sung with famed group LSG which consisted of other members Gerald Levert and Keith Sweat. The melodies from N.E.'s popular songs "Im Leaving You Again" and "Can You Stand The Rain" can be heard in Bow Wow's "Like You" and Big Sean's "My Last" respectively. Likewise, Beyonce's "Love On Top" music video is purposely reminiscent of the group's 1988 hit "If It Isn't Love." Here's my personal ode to a group whom I have admired since childhood. This presentation is dedicated to my YouTube buddy DeeJay Royal T..."fo sho!"

what song is at 5:30, where they're dressed in yellow and black

[shlyanth]

@nwa427...The song is called "N.E. Heart Break" and it's actually the same name chosen for their 1988 album's title. Thanks for watching.

@nwa427 NE HEART BREAK

[pickzkickz]

@shlyanth NE fan since "Candy Girl". I was 10 but they were my group. Them and Biv's creation, "Boyz II Men" are easily my 2 favorite groups. Saw NE in 05' minus BB and last year saw HOS here and first row close. I have a video here "Home Again" and I actually show my face, corny I know but it was awesome. They're all touring together this year. They have about 6 dates so far but if they come to Houston, you know I'm there! With a camera if they let me, lol. Thanks again.

@Tonia682 Sounds like you had some good times back in the day with the NE crew...glad this took you down memory lane...and thanks for watching!
