New Award for New Edition
25 years ago, girls across the country fell in love with a group of boys from Boston. Ricky, Bobby, Mike, Ralph and Ronnie had the fellas bobbin' their heads too. 25 years later,New Edition is set to receive the American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers (ASCAP) prestigious Golden Note Award at the 21st Annual Rhythm & Soul Music Awards next month. The Golden Note Award is awarded to songwriters, composers, and artists who achieved extraordinary career milestones. After seven studio albums and a bunch of hit songs, New Edition is celebrating their 25th anniversary as a group. For 25 years we have enjoyed such hit songs as 'Popcorn Love,' 'Candy Girl,' 'Cool It Now,' 'Can You Stand The Rain,' and 'If It Isn't Love.' New Edition was at the forefront of the new jack swing movement, creating a blueprint for the genre. The success of New Edition led to the creation of groups such as New Kids on The Block, Boyz II Men, and N'Sync.
Commenting on the Golden Note Award honorees, ASCAP President and Chairman Marilyn Bergman said: "Over the last 25 years, New Edition has experienced success on multiple levels to become true legends. The group has firmly left their mark on today's music, and ASCAP is very proud to honor them."

Rizz Is Still Around
New Edition front man Ralph Tresvant aka Rizz is starring in the upcoming film Mama I Wanna Sing, a big screen adaptation of the hit stage play. Ciara, Patti LaBelle, Lynn Whitfield and Ben Vereen are also staring in the film. I'm still trying to figure out why Ciara has the lead role. Rizz plays the role of Rev. Kenneth Winter, Mama I Wanna Sing tells the story of a young gospel singer who goes from the choir to the pop charts. Rizz is celebrating 25 years in the music biz with a new single "It Must Be You", which will be released to radio on July 1. Industry insiders describe it as an "undeniable radio hit." Ralph has taken complete control over his career, his upcoming album will be released through his independently owned and operated label, Xzualt Media Group, that has direct distribution deals on Apple iTunes and other retailers. Ralph plans to hit the road on an up close and personal tour later this year.

On another note, I've always wondered about the paternity of Bobby Brown's son Landon.....Are you thinking what I'm thinking???
