Bell Biv Devoe Biography

Bell Biv DeVoe was hatched in the minds of its members New Edition's Ricky Bell Michael Bivins and Ronnie DeVoe upon the departure of lead singer Bobby Brown in 1986. But it wasn't until after New Edition completed its supporting tour for the album Heart Break in 1988 that the trio gave in to the urgings of Heart Break producers Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis and decided to chart its own course. Bell Biv DeVoe enlisted a variety of producers for its debut album including Jam and Lewis and Public Enemy producers Hank and Keith Shocklee. The results were quite unlike anything in New Edition's repertoire: The beats were funkier the lyrics and vocals were sexier and the overall sound had a harder hip-hop-tinged edge. The album's title track Poison became a number three smash and it was followed by the equally successful Do Me! and the R&B hits B.B.D. (I Thought it Was Me) When Will I See You Smile Again? and Dope!
