New Edition Wins ASCAP Award
Bobby Brown has made the news again. But this time it's his accomplishments with New Edition that garners our attention. As they celebrate their 25th anniversary, ASCAP is honoring New Edition with the Golden Note Award at its 21st Annual Rhythm & Soul Music Awards. Bobby alongside Ralph Tresvant, Ronnie DeVoe, Michael Bivins, Ricky Bell and Johnny Gill will join other singers, songwriters, composers and artists, such as Stevie Wonder and LL Cool J, as recipients of the Golden Note Award on June 23. Along with accomplishing solo success, the members of New Edition have released seven albums that included the hits "Candy Girl," "Can You Stand the Rain," and "Hit Me Off." New Edition's influence can be seen in boy bands ranging from Boyz II Men to 'N Sync. We at SB congratulate the guys of New Edition on all their success, including you Bobby Brown.
