Ralph Tresvant Talks New Edition's Beginnings, Success & Longevity With Host Jason Robinson 

Fake news.. Why would he copyright the new edition name if its his time to shine...he needs to shine on his own name if its really about that

@@tonybiggs.the.illiest he didn’t copyright anything and he is shining on his name.

@@tonybiggs.the.illiest trademark along with JG...that was a business move and it was smart of them to do so. He said all the guys own it so stop being messy Tony.

Betty I am waiting for another single or full album with just him no JG. I like their collabos but I just love hearing him by himself. I wouldn't be into NE of there was no RT. 🤷🏾ijs.

@@tanyataylor5310, I couldn’t agree more and be glad when he does his solo album too!

@Jay'sWorld!🤪 🤣🤣🤣👍🏽 Sir, salt n pepper hairs means u are distingushed. Those are the stripes and medals of life. When u wear it with pride, u show us (slightly) younger ones the way. ✊🏽🤝🏽🔥

I grew up listening to them i am in the same age bracket but i do not look like it

@@legionforcesecurity6257 me either

They were friends before new edition with the exception of Johnny

@@andrewstaples8677 Exactly!!

So true

I've always loved The New Addition.....especially Ralph Tresvant. Damn, that brotha was always so fine...so smooth....his vibe & his swagg....all the way from the start, back in the mid to late 80s, and beyond. When me & my siblings & friends would see them performing back in the day, on Soul Train and awards shows, we used to argue over who's "man" was who's. And I always claimed Ralph Tresvant. As I entered into my teen & high school yrs, his poster owned a spot above the bed I slept in, in a room that I shared with my sisters. I think my older sister had a poster of Bobby Brown on her side of the wall. That was her "man". It was all in dreaming fun. Our mom couldn't afford concert tickets for us, so we had to watch them on t.v., and dream about them. And out of respect, i won't mention the kinds of thoughts & dreams i had about Ralph Tresvant back then. But I'm sure you can imagine. Love New Addition.....always, for life!

Thanks for been a true fan and I don't mind getting to know a true fan much better so pls let me have ur number so I can text you and get to know u better

@@micheleprice9771 Thanks for watching Michelle, appreciate it.

@@TheHotZoneUSA Thank U! Yr welcome. Lookin FORWARD to more IN 2021AND more YEARS to come ! July2021

YES INDEED!!😍

LOL HAHAHA!

LOL

😂😂😂

🤣😂

😂 not even B2K or Day 26. Dang....😝😜😂

Thanks for watching Jazzy, appreciate it.

True, great choice. Thanks for watching.

agree💯 The casting was awesome (.)

Buy Ralph's music so that he will stop preying on women who are weak for his other talent as Super Mack, conning them out of their money. He is ruining lives. Or at least he ruined mine by my lonely self giving him $10,000 til I found out about all his lies.

​@@rhondalouis3172 He did that to you?

One of the most humble artists we have ever interviewed. We love how he keeps it real too!!

Very humble!! I swear I was going to write this....and then I read your comment and was like WOW....It's not only me who is feeling this vibe.

It’s a Taurus thing

@@dantedkingofficial Yeah he is definitely the most humble person we have ever interviewed. Great artist and man, thanks for watching Dante.

@@dantedkingofficial Yes he is. He has a great spirit. I saw them in concert so many times when Bobby would be drunk or high and would mess up, forget words or just stumble... I watched Ralph slide up and grab his Bobby at a concert in Hawaii and just join in singing with him as though it was planned. I thought then that he was such a special person. He did embarrass Bobby or walk off the stage, he just humbly and lovingly lent him a hand. I loved that.

Thanks for watching

Truth!

I agree

@@rhondalouis3172 care to elaborate? Are you joking?

🤔 Umm didn't Ralph make a solo album? But yes, from what he stated in the interview, he's not selfish. Gr8 to see he's well.

An excellent song, thanks for watching Toni!

🗣️ Sensitivity will ALWAYS be a "classic!"

Do what I gotta Do is still my joint!

@@marquan1976 Man, that WHOLE album I still rock today! As well as the other one, and his independent joints. Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis have a genius knack for crafting timeless music, Real Talk!💯💯

me too.lol. it's kyna unique

Great group

@@RealLadi228 😁😁You knew Ralph wasn't asking for phone numbers.

Absolutely, agreed 100%!!! Thanks for watching.

Absolutely...I'm still trying to figure out how other groups as NKOTB out did these guys in terms of merchandising and sponsorships.

They wouldn't like you calling them a "Boy Band". They are an R&B group. Boy Band implies that it was contrived, and not organically created.

@@annuali4097 You really don't know the history of why NKOTB was created by the same man as New Edition? One group is black and one is white and unfortunately the white group is going to sell more and make more when it comes to merchandise and sponsorship! I love both groups! I don't discriminate when it comes to music, however, the majority does.

@@annuali4097 New Edition got taken advantage of in the first two contracts. I don't think they had attorneys review their contracts back then.

I think Johnny added a mature type of evolution to the group also. Not to take anything away from their earlier hits...but they were growing in to adult young men to carry on singing kiddy "Candy Girl" and " "Mr.Telephone Man" type records would sound silly. This was a good interview new found respect for Ralph...he seems like a cool, laid back, fair brotha.

Thanks for watching Ahsharya, appreciate it. Can You Stand The Rain is one of our all time favorite songs.

Agreed!

Johnny's voice is top 10 of my all time faves

Yes ma'am!! JG and Ralph recently recorded another song, remind me so much of can you stand the rain. I think the song is "perfect"

Thanks for watching Tomarra, appreciate it. FYI, we totally agree with you!! Happy New Year!

Ralph was the leader of the group so of course, but anyone of them could have been the leader of the group, Bobby Browns solo career was more successful than the group New Addition success as a whole, he smashed that group with hits like Tinder Roney an my Proragitive.

Mines as well

But yet when everyone went their own way their albums were better than his ..

Mine too.

Thanks for watching, appreciate it.

yes yes yes!!

These Cats I fuck with from 83 till now. I though I’m from Detroit I was born in Massachusetts like them. They are the Temp’s of the 80’s till now. Love Them Boys

Except Bobbie I'm sorry

@@justgowest Right! Nothing is a class act about Bobby.

Thanks for watching.

Mines too

@@TheHotZoneUSA I had a major crush on Ralph

@Angel Johnson he is so handsome 💛

@@achild4363 I’m still crushing on Ralph ❤️

🗣💓💓💓💓He definitely was a Superstar. Total package.

Mark you are so right! If Ralph was a backstabbing ego maniac he would have been bigger. His showmanship is off the rails and he takes good care of himself. Everytime I play "This Rhythm is Rated R" I get amped. He keeps it classy.

Ralph was properly rated.

@@onewoman4274 so true!!!!

That is what makes him great 👍

Thanks for watching.

Thanks for watching Dee, appreciate it.

Ralph Tresvant May be loyal to mew edition but he cons women out of their money. He has destroyed my life.

Big difference just from summer 2020. His skin was glowing and looking full...nothing wrong with whatever he did to get it back. He is an icon he should always look good. 😍

God has been good to Ralph he looks great. I hope he continues to be blessed as well as the other members of N.E. 🙏🏾🌻

Me too!

Thanks for watching!

. Ralph is very smart and talented. All of the members of "new edition" are smart and talented. OK thanks for this interview.

Yes, he seems content but yet on a new mission as well. Thanks for watching Renee.

Front row is where I will be lol

@@ralphtresvant5758 LMFAOO YOOO

Fast forward to 2022 the New Edition are on the tour you’ve waited for. Hope you attend one or more of their concerts👑👑👑👑👑👑💕💕💕💕💕💕

@@ralphtresvant5758 Music Royalty the New Edition is Phenomenal 👑👑👑👑👑👑Absolutely Brilliant🙌🏽

He truly is!!! Ralph, Bobby, and Ronnie Devoe all are the most humble and kindest of all the guys in NE and I’ve met them all individually and collectively! God bless them all‼️

I love you Ralph.. You are a great man

Agreed Brent, he's a true legend. Thanks for watching.

@@TheHotZoneUSA Great interview brother

@@brentcarterandfriends Many thanks, truly appreciate the kind words Brent.

Very true

He’s NOT your brother.

Thanks for watching.

He truly is, thanks for watching George. Look out for more in 2021!!

@@TheHotZoneUSA I agree. Great interview on both ends.👍

@@EventHorizon519 Thank you for watching and Happy New Year's!

@@TheHotZoneUSA Happy New Years to you as well! Great job! You are a poised, paused and professional interviewer/journalist. You definitely have a new subscriber and supporter. I look forward to enjoying more of your work in the future.👍

BOSTON!!!!! REPRESENT!!!👍👍👍👍✌✌✌✌✌

Thanks for watching Goldie, appreciate it.

They definitely will, without a doubt! They are brothers till the end despite their troubles here and there.

@@TheHotZoneUSA I'm glad they have ownership in their name, too. I also wonder if they own their master recordings and publishing, too. . .

Why would it be their last hurrah? They're only on their 50s🤭

@@deonsellers9749 I don't think all 5 of them will be able to continue performing at that high level too much longer. I'm in my late 40s, and and I'm in great shape....and I realize my body's limitations. I say 5, btw, because Bobby Brown can no longer perform at a high level, smh/ :(

First of all,there are 6 members of New Edition & Uncle Brooke is member #1 @@ronniebobbyedition993 Second, you're a bandwagon fan so this conversation is over😘🙋🏿‍♀️

Thanks for watching Tameka, check out our other interviews like our recent Meagan Good.

Thanks for watching LaKesha, appreciate it. They will reunite for sure, you can count on it!!

I HOPE THEY GET BACK TOGETHER AND DO ANOTHER TOUR...AS BROOKE PAYNE WOULD SAY, YA’LL LOOKING “SOFT.” GET BACK IS SHAPE AND LET’S GO!!!! I’M READY TO PURCHASE MY TICKET!!!!! RALPH IS A GOOD GUY. HE LOST HALF HIS INCOME TO THAT FIRST WIFE. I GUESS SHE WAS JUST IN IT FOR THE MONEY 💴. WHAT WIFE DOES THAT, WHEN THE GROUP IS NOT PERFORMING AND INCOME IS LOW. GLAD HE HAS SOMEONE BETTER. RIDE ON “RIZZO.”

You can be humble when you know who you are... would still like to meet this guy! I like real people true people we are here to help those who are living in a fantasy in their minds.

They are all so talented as a group and individually. Thanks for watching.

Facts

Thanks for watching Al B, so happy you enjoyed the show.

Thanks for watching, appreciate it. Agreed, he is our favorite as well.

Thanks so much for watching.

@@TheHotZoneUSA You are welcome. Thank you for presenting this to us, and for your platform.

Haha, yeah we told him the fans want to see his eyes, especially the ladies so he complied lol

Thanks for watching.

Ralph look old as shit now

Still my fav. Still smooth and super sexy...STILL!❤️

Hell yes fine as wine💋

He looks more healthy now than earlier 2020. I am so glad too. He will always be fine to me but it is good to see his skin glowing and full.

Yyyyaaaasssss Sis. I love him. I had no business back then cause I was younger

Thanks for watching Lady, appreciate you.

Ralph tresvant is not good at all. Well maybe he is to men or people he knows but he cons women on out of their money or at least he did me. It may be my fault for falling for his love words no man could come close to but he is still the devil In disguise.

Ours too, Ralph was amazing on that track!!!

Mine as well!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ralph had a babyface vibe

@@TheHotZoneUSA Ralph Shakey Ground>sensitivity

@@jarrelely1126 All Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis'doing. Babyface's writing was very repetitive...nothing wrong with that...but that was his style. The composition had a mixture of house music Babyface never touched house music he was always smooth though so I will agree that Sensitivity is definitely smooth but you can actually groove to it, which is what Ralph did in the video with his house dance moves. Classic!

It was a pleasure talking with him. Thanks for watching Nina.

U are so welcome but I like to thank u because without this interview we wouldn’t know just how humble and down to earth he really is. I’ve always been his biggest fan and will be til the end😊 I’m truly a “Candy Girl” 😂🤣😂🤣

@@ninawhite1435 You're very welcome, so happy you enjoyed. We have loved NE for years and so happy Ralph is now getting his just due!!

@Tasha You are spot on with your comment!!! The eyes tell it ALL!!!!!

I agree with this 1000 percent! Ralph is the core of what has sustained New Edition through all of the challenges. He is a very gifted, unique quality human being. This combination of attributes is rare. As a parent of 3 decades of New Edition fans, I have been blessed to watch his evolution for 35 plus years. Ralph is the man! His parents did an excellent job!

What about Ricky Bell? He looks like he had a nose job!

@@austingilesjr.914 noooooooo Ricky Bell has never had cosmetics or any altering done. NE is all natural after all they over came literally. They didn't do that Hollywood trend they kept it Boston n raw from day one

@@beb5407 Go get your eyes check! He's nose looks totally different, look at N.E & BBD old videos, and look at Ricky Bell now you will see the difference!
