NE was great with Bobby Brown. Obtaining Johnny Gil for their group was a master stroke of genius. He's a hybrid version of Teddy Pendergrass and Luther Vandross.

[@JustSayin-mz9jb]

I agree. I love how Ralph never seemed pressed to sing like Johnny. They compliment each beautifully.

[@michaelconner1771]

@@JustSayin-mz9jb 👍...Just like how the Temptations got David Ruffin, who complemented Eddie Kendrick (maybe before YOUR time...lol). Two powerful lead singers in any group isn't a bad thing at all.

N.E for life! They killed it just as they always do, even til this day all 6 of them! ❤

[@DavidRichardson95]

Bobby wasn't with NE during this time as he was dealing with the press, jail and his marriage. He was only one that didn't sign to Bad Boy when NE dropped _One Love_ on the label (stating it wasn't a good look.) and it would take all six of them to perform again 7 years later after the untimely death of Michael Jackson at the BET Awards. This is black history right here!!!!

[@javaughnlemonius1418]

Bro didn’t they perform in 2005 for the 25th anniversary at Bet?

[@DavidRichardson95]

@@javaughnlemonius1418 Yes, shortly after they left Bad Boy. Bobby didn't join them for that album because he felt it wouldn't work.

Donna C we enjoyed celebrating your birthday here at reelblack

[@colettemr]

Interesting fact... RALPH... prior to this time, actually recorded "Every Little Step" and "Dont be Cruel" for Bobbie's album and did not want any credit. They adjusted the tones but you can actually hear Ralph. Bobby was drunk a lot and wouldn't go to the studio. That's how passionate of a friend and love of music Ralph was. This is why Ralph is a legend within himself.

[@lulumyataza7894]

Babyface said on Questlove's podcast that none of this is true!

[@amarismcclure2991]

Ralph has actually debunked this rumor several times and said it isn’t true himself as well.

[@CharlieXFBA]

Not true lol

Go ‘head, Rick. On ‘Mr. Telephone Man’ he sang the chorus, second verse and went right back leading the chorus without missing a beat ‘ . . . and place your call again, baby Mr. Telephone Man , there’s something wrong . . . ‘(Maybe a half second pause between him saying ‘baby’ and then ‘Mr. Telephone Man.)
