Daily Boom 90's Nostalgia: Bell Biv DeVoe- 'Poison'

If I were you I'd take precaution

Before I start to leave fly girl

You know 'cause in some portions

You'll think she's the best thing in the world

She's so fly, she'll drive you right out of your mind

Steal your heart when you're blind

Beware she's schemin', she'll make you think you're dreamin'

You'll fall in love and you'll be screamin' dreamin'

One of my favorite groups from the New Jack Swing era is Bell Biv DeVoe, If you remember, Ricky Bell, Michael Bivins, and Ronnie DeVoe decided to branch off from their success as members of New Edition and BBD was born. Their debut album Poison made a pretty big splash back in 1990 and had a few singles that landed in the top ten on Billboard's Hot 100. The first track, also titled "Poison" was a huge hit thanks to MTV showing heavy rotation favor on the video. Check it out below. I'm pretty sure that you'll remember this one!

Daily Boom 80's Throwback: New Edition - 'Can You Stand The Rain'

"On a perfect day, I know that I can count on you

When that's not possible

Tell me can you weather the storm?

'Cause I need somebody who will stand by me

Through the good times and bad times

She will always, always be right there

Sunny days, everybody loves them

Tell me baby can you stand the rain?

Storms will come

This we know for sure (This we know for sure)

Can you stand the rain?"

I'm going to be really honest and tell you that I don't remember New Edition's "Can You Stand The Rain" when it was first getting radio play in early 1989. I think that I was firmly committed to hair bands by then. The song is from the quintet's album Heart Break, their first venture without Bobby Brown. It introduced us to Johnny Gill who does a fantastic job sharing lead vocals with Ralph Tresvant on "Can You Stand The Rain". 

So anyway, I heard this song several months back during BET's three part special on the band (which really IS worth seeing) and couldn't tell which era of New Edition it was from. That makes it pretty timeless in my eyes and it also has all of the components of a top-notch slow jam. Check out the video below and tell me, who is your favorite of the guys!
