New Edition/Spinners Tribute (Don Cornelius Soul Train tribute too)

Ralph Tresvant told me that it was such an honor for him & the fellas to perform in honor of The Spinners at The Rock N Roll Hall Of Fame.
He also said such great things about The Spinners & their history as he & the fellas had learned much more about them during this process.
Let's don't forget NE also paid tribute to Don Cornelius when The Soul Train Dancers came out dancing during NE's set when they sang The Spinner's RubberBand Man. The late Don Cornelius Was inducted into the Hall Of Fame with the Ahmet Ertegun Award.
No sooner than all of that took place then a few days later New Edition recieves a Las Vegas Residency.
Like I told Ralph they just keep goin & goin & goin. Congrats NE.

[@karenhall8330]

Beautiful ❤️

[@staesidavis8987]

[@jAITtROtULL]

Not gonna lie, I teared up hearing Bobby. I can't imagine being him and having to make it through life after losing two children, still, he has his others to think about and he is a great dad. So proud of him for pushing through. On another note, Bell is so smooth, I love his voice and Gill killed it as he always does (Dat mofo can sang!!!!).

[@shymcg]

I shed tears as well!!! It was a beautiful thing to see!!!! ❤🙏🏽❤️

New Edition, you really should be inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame because this is long overdue.

[@hollywood101usa]

The Spinners being one of the best soul groups from the 1970s. Having them finally inducted into the rock hall of fame is well overdue. New Edition gave The Spinners such a flawless respectful tribute.

[@annette2058]

Wished Phillppe was still around to see it. His voice really gave the Spinners their signature sound.

[@thequeendiva72]

I smile each time i see all six of them together. Why? Because no matter what each one went thru they've always held each other down. Friends who become Family like that are rare and groups still being able to stick together this long and still blend together yes it's time for New Edition to get their star and their rock and Roll Hall Of Fame inductees in 2024 **hint* *. The last group i seen with all of the original members years later was heck i can't even name one that i can remember 🤣 🤣. STAY SAFE EVERYONE. GOD BLESS US ALL 🙏🏾 🙏🏾.

DAM MAN! GOT ME DROPPING A FEW TEARS. AWESOME JOB. THE SPINNERS HAS ALWAYS BEEN ONE OF MY TOP/ FAVORITE GROUPS. I HAD FRIENDS & FAMILY CALLING & TEXTING ME LETTING ME KNOW THAT THE SPINNERS ( FINALLY ) MADE IT IN. I WAS 17 YEARS OF AGE WHEN I JOINED THE ARMY. MY MOTHER HAD TO SIGN FOR ME TO GET IN. SHE ENCOURAGED ALL OF USE TO JOIN THE MILITARY. I'D NEVER- EVER BEEN AWAY FROM HOME. MAN! TALK ABOUT SCARE & LONESOME. I REMEMBER AFTER OUR CLASSES. I WOULD GO BACK TO MY BARRAGES. CRY, PUT ON THE SPINNERS ALBUMS. THEY CALMED ME DOWN. GOT ME BACK TO REALITY. THEY TRULY HELPED ME THROUGH IT. IT GOT BETTER. AND I GAIN A LOT OF FRIENDS. I ALSO REMEMBER THE TWO YEARS STRAIGHT THAT THE SPINNERS DIDN'T MAKE IT IN. TALK ABOUT DISAPPOINTMENT. I JUST SAID, WHAT'S REALLY GOING ON HERE. I TRIED WRITING INTO THE ROCK & ROLL HALL OF FAME. ONLY ONE ORIGINAL MEMBER STILL LIVES. TOM BELL, LINDA CREED. R.I.P TO THE MEMBERS WHO'S GONE TO BE IN THE LOVING ARM'S OF GOD. THANKS SO VERY, VERY MUCH FOR THE WONDERFUL MEMORIES. NEW EDITION, MAN! U GUYS TORE IT UP. GREAT TRIBUTE FOR AN AWESOME GROUP. FROM AN AWESOME GROUP. U GUYS ARE ALSO ONE OF MY FAVORITE GROUPS. WILL BE PULLING FOR U GUYS TO BE INDUCTED IN NEXT. THANK U NEW EDITION.
