20 years and still the kings

i have enjoyed ne for 20 years and the boybands are today
are around because of them they were the first boy bands and they deserve credit together and as solo arists ricky bell, bbdjohnny gil,booby brown and ralph t if you are not a fan and you go to their show you will be hooked by the end of the night

This is for those

that dont know NE was and still is (to me) to be one of the best R&B groups around. Of course this was early on in there career, but even still with songs like Candy Girl, Is This The End and my fav Jealous Girl. Candy Girl only laid the foundation for what would be a group that have many hit albums, songs and tours.



If your an NE fan, you should check this out and if your not still check it out. because it is all good no matter who you are.

You had to be young at the time

If you were a youngun back in 83, it's likely that you would have loved this. Since R&B harmony groups were rare in 1983 (plus the fact that much of the R&B in those days really stunk), this album was a popular novelty at the time. Listening to it today, it has not stood the test of time well. Their voices had yet to develop into what it would become on songs like "Can You Stand The Rain." However, that's not to say that it doesn't have it's moments. While I can't imagine anyone running to the dance floor on "Candy Girl" today, "Popcorn Love," & "Jealous Girl" still have a kind of cutesy appeal. The rest of it sounds like weak imitation J-5 vocals done to a cheap casio beat. But hey, Michael Jackson himself liked it at the time and it did sound better than a lot of what was out there. But if you were young then and have fond memories of this, go for it.
