Get the New Edition Basketball T Shirt . New Edition scored its big break in 1981, performing at the local Hollywood Talent Night held at Boston’s Strand Theatre by singer/producer Maurice Starr. The first prize was $500 and a recording contract. Though the group came in second place, an impressed Starr decided to bring the group to his studio the following day to record what would become their debut album, Candy Girl. Released in 1983 on New York producer Arthur Baker‘s Levi Belt Streetwise Records, the album featured the hits: “Is This The End“, “Popcorn Love“, “Jealous Girl“, and the title track, which went to number one on both the American R&B singles chart and the UK singles chart.

Returning from their first major concert tour, the boys were dropped off back at their homes in the projects and were given a check in the amount of $1.87 apiece for their efforts. Tour budget and expenses were given as the explanation as to why they were not paid more. Due to these financial reasons, New Edition parted company with Starr in 1984. (Starr responded by promptly creating the group New Kids on the Block, essentially formatted after New Edition, but with white teenagers.) Meanwhile, the group hired the law firm of Steven and Martin Machat and sued Streetwise for release from a contract that was unenforceable as well as materially breached by Streetwise. The Machats won the legal game and then secured the group a bigger recording deal with major label MCA Records, which won the bidding war among various other major labels. In need of management, the group signed with Steven Machat and his two management partners Rick Smith and Bill Dern. The management company, AMI, proceeded to escalate the group’s profile in both the urban and pop music worlds. Through the production affiliate of AMI, Jump and Shoot, MCA released the group’s self-titled second album the same year. Eclipsing their debut album, New Edition spun off the top five hit “Cool It Now” and the top twenty “Mr. Telephone Man“, and went on to be certified double platinum in the United States.
