When
Maurice Starr uncovered the talents of a Roxbury vocal group in the early '80s, he envisioned a second
Jackson 5. That was the direction he took
New Edition in its early days, and this album includes such overt
Jackson 5 ripoffs as
"Candy Girl" and the title track. None of the toughness or street touches that emerged on their later material was evident on this slick,
pop-oriented session.
Ralph Tresvant,
Ronald DeVoe,
Michael Bivins,
Ricky Bell, and
Bobby Brown were all aged 13 to 15 when this was released.
