Background notes
Archive material and source history
Bell Biv Devoe formed in 1989 when Ricky Bell, Ronnie DeVoe, and Michael Bivins left New Edition to start their own group. Their name came from combining their initials. The trio's debut single 'Poison' became a massive hit in 1990, defining their sound during the New Jack Swing era.
After 'Poison,' they released albums like 'Hootie Mack' and 'WBBD-Bootcity!' that didn't quite match that initial commercial success. Their music blended R&B with hip-hop and funk elements, heard in tracks like 'Do Me' and 'When Will I See You Smile Again.'
They took a break in the mid-90s but returned in 1997 with a self-titled album. The group has reunited periodically for performances since then, keeping their early hits in rotation.
