Get On Down
New Edition
Candy Girl
When Maurice Starr uncovered the talents of a Roxbury vocal group in the early '80s at a talent show at Dorchesters storied Strand Theater he saw the second coming of the Jackson 5. The boys didnt win the completion (they came in second) but they did win a deal with Starr & Streetwise records. Starr came up with the name New Edition (as in a new edition of the Jackson 5) and started recording with the boys the day after the talent show at the Strand. This group of kids (all under 15) had their first single "Candy Girl" shoot to #1 on the Billboard R&B Charts. This led them to their debut album, also titled Candy Girl, which had a lot of pop/early hip hop influences, yet still has a classic R&B feel.
