Bell Biv DeVoe Biography
The American musical group known as Bell Biv DeVoe was established by the remaining New Edition members Ronnie DeVoe, Michael Bivins, and Ricky Bell, after the group disbanded in the 1980's. In re-grouping, the musicians took the experience and sound they'd created with New Edition and reformatted into a blend of 'new jack swing,' R&B, and hip hop under the guidance of some of the industry's most notable producers.
The result was the smash-hit album Poison, released in 1990, which rose to the number one spot on the R&B charts and with singles that landed in the top five on the mainstream charts. The album spawned the hit singles 'Poison,' 'Do Me,' 'B.B.D. (I Thought it Was Me?),' and 'When Will I See You Smile Again.' Reaching multi-platinum status, Poison set the stage for the additional albums Hootie Mack (1993) and BBD (2001), although neither would be able to reach the success of Bell Biv Devoe's debut album, which also garnered the grouip a Soul Train Award for Best R&B/Urban Contemporary Album of the Year in 1991.
