VH1 Salutes New Edition

To commemorate the 25th Anniversary of New Edition's debut album 'Candy Girl,' VH1 Soul will present 'New Edition Weekend' a weekend full of special programming and videos by the Boston bred boy band.

Set to kick off April 25 at 8 a.m. with a video block, the weekend will include the premiere of 'Soul Story: Bobby Brown,' which celebrates the solo career of Bobby Brown through a timeline sequence of his videos, along with a new and never-before-seen interview.

Bursting onto the scene in 1983, New Edition became a pop phenomenon when they were discovered by writer/producer Maurice Starr, in hopes of launching a Jackson 5 phenomenon for the '80s.

The R&B super-group, which still performs concerts around the world, consists of Michael Bivins, Ralph Tresvant, Ricky Bell, Ronnie DeVoe and Johnny Gill. A special re-airing of the VH1 series 'Behind The Music: New Edition' will also be a highlight of the weekend's programming on the specialty digital cable channel.
