Guided by producer Maurice Starr, New Edition was originally a Jackson 5-esque collection of five young African American teenage singers, including lead singers Ralph Tresvant and Bobby Brown, and vocalists Ricky Bell.

New Edition is an American Pop/R&B group formed in Boston, Massachusetts in 1978, that was most popular during the 1980s.

Telephone Man' soon became their third R&B chart. New Edition, meanwhile, released their eponymous MCA debut in 1984 and scored their biggest pop hit with the Top Five smash 'Cool It Now,' which ended with a short rap section.
