Bell Biv DeVoe
Bell Biv DeVoe is an American music group that branched off from New Edition. It consists of three members of New Edition, Ricky Bell, Michael Bivins, and Ronnie DeVoe.
==History==
Bell, Bivins, and DeVoe formed the group at the suggestion of producers Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis. Upon accepting the idea, MCA records wrote down the name Bell Bivins DeVoe, but Bivins suggested they remove the ''ins'' from his name and just call the group Bell Biv DeVoe.〔Heyliger, Mike. “Popdose Flashback ’90: Bell Biv DeVoe, Poison.” Popdose.com. Popdose.com. 11 Mar. 2010. Web. 25 Mar. 2010.〕 With help from Public Enemy producers Eric Sadler, Hank and Keith Shocklee, and several others, Bell Biv Devoe released its debut album ''Poison'' in 1990, on MCA Records. The album was credited as pioneering the "new jack swing" sound of the early 1990s, combining hip-hop, funk, soul, and pop music.〔J.D. Considine. "After a great 1990, Bell Biv DeVoe to ring in new year :(Edition )." The Sun 28 Dec. 1990, The Sun, Baltimore, ProQuest. Web. 1 Apr. 2010.〕 This fusion of styles helped to expose them to a fan base who prefer a harder edge sound.〔 ''Poison'' reached number 1 on Billboard's R&B/Hip-Hop chart, and its title track, along with its second single, "Do Me!", both reached number 3 on Billboard's Hot 100 chart. Shortly thereafter, Richard Wolf and Epic Mazur were responsible for the remix of "Do Me!" (which hit Number One on the dance charts). ''Poison'' also spawned the singles "B.B.D. (I Thought It Was Me)?", "When Will I See You Smile Again?" and "She's Dope!"〔“Bell Biv DeVoe: Chart History.” Billboard.com. Billboard. n.d. Web. 25 Mar. 2010.〕 ''Poison'' sold over four million copies, and was followed up by a remix album titled ''WBBD-Bootcity''.〔Huey, Steve. “Bell Biv DeVoe: Biography.” Allmusic. Rovi Corporation. n.d. Web. 25 Mar. 2010.〕〔Henderson, Alex. “WBBD-Bootcity! The Remix Album > Overview.” Allmusic. Rovi Corporation. n.d. Web. 12 Apr. 2010〕 Richard Wolf and Epic Mazur helped create BBD's premiere album, blending rhythm, blues, pop, and rock, and Poison achieve triple Platinum success.
Bell Biv DeVoe went on to release ''Hootie Mack'' in 1993, on MCA Records, and the more hardcore rap/R&B influenced ''BBD'' in 2001, on Biv 10 Records. Neither album was as successful as ''Poison'', however "Hootie Mack" did reach Gold success. Despite the fact that their last album was released in 2001, the members of Bell Biv Devoe continue to perform together as a group.〔Gerald M. Gay. "'80s group still has its devotees: Bell Biv DeVoe here for 'Slow Jams Live' gig. " McClatchy - Tribune Business News 19 February 2009 ProQuest Newsstand, ProQuest. Web. 10 Apr. 2010.〕 They also participated in several New Edition reunions, and continue to perform with them on tour as part of the group. On May 30, 2013, Bell Biv DeVoe performed their hit song "Poison" for Boston Strong, a benefit concert to raise money for victims of the Boston Marathon Bombing.
