Ronnie DeVoe reflects on being paid $1.87 after New Edition's first big tour

New Edition was formed in 1978. Their name is taken to mean a new edition of the Jackson 5 and to the music scene. The group reached its height of popularity in the 1980s and is considered the blueprint for what would become the modern boy band. The lineup originally consisted of Ricky Bell, Michael Bivins, Bobby Brown, Ronnie DeVoe, and Ralph Tresvant. Brown w0as kicked out of the group in late 1985 to begin a successful solo career, and they continued as a quartet for one album, before adding Johnny Gill to the lineup in 1987. Early hits included "Candy Girl", "Cool It Now", and "Mr. Telephone Man". Here, Ronnie DeVoe rfects on the group's 40- year journey with celebrity interviewer Tim Lampley
