Ralph Tresvant - Do What I Gotta Do

[@mikeyg6631]

It's crazy I'm 48 now and In back in 1991, I would play these songs in the background on a cassette while kicking it on the phone with a "Roni" such good time's back then. Ralph still has it!! Actually, the whole New Edition crew still knows how to entertain almost 3 decades later!!

[@tawory1]

Me too. 🖖🏾

[@cmac61]

Yesirr...this the best break up song bacc in those days..💪🏼💪🏼

[@arthurgraham9109]

Me too

[@sidhawkins7685]

I'm 46, those days of macking with the slow jams got me plenty of tenders back in the day. Things ain't the same like that anymore.

[@georgebrooks8261]

Yeap Camp Humphrey Korea thinking about my first love Ms Chelsie Liburb

[@Edruezzi]

A criminally underappreciated solo artist.

[@june7gemini]

Man I'm thankful I grew up with this music ,it's almost meditative and relaxing ...I used to fall asleep to quiet storm.nobody cannot top this now , I want to bring this music back

[@pickzkickz]

+june 7 gemini .. u again Gemini! lol

[@june7gemini]

Heyyy lovvve

[@robertmccalljr3945]

Yeah i was 15 when this came out. 26 years later and it still my ish. I remember quiet storm too. Good sleeping music i agree. Amongst other things as well

[@june7gemini]

Robert mcall : agreed people these days don't know how to SIT the fuck down and listen to the words/ emotion of the music . Everything is geared towards club music because nobody doesn't have talent

[@Lunapacolyps]

Already Chica. The "Quiet Storm" was the bomb for sure. No other music can come close to true R&B that once was. Thank GOD for recordings....

[@traybrown-l7j]

Song is still hitting

[@wandareese9726]

Don't get me wrong I love all of new edition Ralph tresvant will always be my favorite I love it when he went solo and started making those music videos I use to rewind so I just his beautiful face love you Ralph tresvant.

[@helenak4574]

Same ❤

[@mikeys12]

[@shaneejohnson8157]

Facts

[@adriennerobinson1180]

THEY SURE DON'T MAKE SONGS LIKE THIS ANYMORE.

[@tomarragarner194]

Ralph is and will always be my fav N.E member... the crush on this man I had was something serious 😩😍

[@yvonnesutowski5521]

He could sing to me every day and night😍

[@raymondthomas1574]

bobby brown

[@shameanthomas2019]

You and me both!! STILL crushing and infatuated with this BEAUTIFUL SPECIMEN of a Man. @Tomarra Garner.

[@truthhurtz8517]

Ralph Tresvant and El Debarge were clean cut in the 1990s...❤❤❤

[@MarQHen]

Me too!

[@fresh23got33]

As a 25 year old I'm so happy my parents raised me to this type of music. The lyrics, melody, bridges & meaning just felt more heart felt. My generation of music which I don't even claim my generation is just nothing but noise. I found this album at a record store recently that made day lol. The melody of this song is sick!

[@DEMACVEV0]

Claim our generation bro! Music with this kind of feeling still exists; it's just a little harder to find.

[@DiaAkin]

FreshArt23 I love when you youngins can call a spade a spade and admit that today's music is trash. Shout out to your parents for bringing you up on the good stuff.

[@zybrealjohnson5388]

FreshArt23 💯💯 This music was the best I'm only 17 and I can admit that most music now days is really trash🚮🚮

[@janaeruffin4394]

Zybreal Johnson

[@keianasimmons9524]

FreshArt23 yes yes that's all I be saying this new music is garbage is all about sex and drugs he young man keep that mind frame

[@jasonnielsen8286]

The record companies severely took advantage of new edition. Ralph’s loyalty came back to bite him. He was as talented as any of the others.

[@amandaducksworth1981]

My Favorite One ❤

[@sylviasanders6082]

Ralph tresvant is a Boston talented young man put your hands up for this dude ❤️😀😄😚👍

[@Yakkowarner1534]

This man is a beautiful vocalist. He deserves his stripes. Award him. He is one of the Kings of R&B.

[@reallife0728]

I KNOW SOME OF THE OTHER MEMBERS OF NEW EDITION HAD MORE SUCCESS BUT THIS WAS MY FAVORITE ALBUM.... RALPH WAS THAT DUDE FOR REAL!!!!

[@alexisdykes5634]

FACTS! This album was a classic! ❤️‍🔥

[@letstalk8219]

Ralph's album was cold and I still listen to the whole joint today.

[@thetruthandnothingbutthetr6484]

Some? No ALL of them had more success

[@mikekillagreen9432]

So true!

[@reneemonique9042]

Unfortunately Ralph delayed going solo for the sake of the group but it hurt him individually. Loyalty! This album was so beautifully done and this is one of my favorite songs.

[@jessicam8518]

New Edition should be the next Superball Halftime act PERIOD! #LEGENDS#

[@SexyGio]

Great idea!

[@parisvines8827]

Periodt

[@dwrightcarter7419]

To tell the truth They don’t nearly get the respect they deserve!!!!! They are MJ level legends!!!!!

[@AleahFoster-y7y]

Hell yeah

[@terrelljones2512]

I definitely agree with you on that.

[@jlanise832]

The part where he says "looks like we're gonna have to say goodbye, bye, bye, bye, bye, my, my cutie pie, bye bye!" Gets me everytime 😢

[@kejuanlee1691]

If tell her straight up she can only respect Mr even if we don't agree. The gravity of that line 🥶 cold

[@terrancemerritt41]

The only reason I like to listen to this radio version

[@FunintheSun813]

Me too!! That part stands out😢

[@terrellpugh382]

Yea got me in my feelings

Algee Smith was perfect to play the role as Ralph Tresvant no joke.

[@alexhaynes6649]

They should've did this song in the movie!

[@parisvines8827]

Yep

[@NewEditionLove]

My favorite Ralph Tresvant song and video. I wish he had done more albums and had much more solo success than he earned. He is SO talented and deserves all the success and recognition in the world. This is REAL music. I loved you Ralph!

[@l_steele_entertainment9223]

Playing this in 2024 and it means so much more now

[@nikkagray1430]

I had a major crush on this man!❤

[@MrMorridem]

IF I TELL HER STRAIGHT UP THEN SHE CAN ONLY RESPECT ME.....

[@mzsweetz9032]

Deemo Morris dope line... truth!! 💯

[@nevaehcrawford3361]

I pray that God sends me a rich old gentleman like ralph

[@GhostraceKillah]

Even the women in the videos looked more classy back them than they do in the 2000's. The quality of woman always influence the quality of songs and art in general. The man's muse....

[@bruceleroy5821]

The woman were more realistic. Made you want to fantasize marriage over just sex.

[@josephujiadughele6035]

They can go on. We still lives

[@demondcasey1298]

[@daniealex]

The harmonies...whew!

[@dougstyles5091]

What happened to talent like this? Not over doing it, just simply singing and making sense.

[@fernandoinsociable4846]

This song is so damn deep. Those lyrics cut deep.

[@kelicreasy2031]

I was so inlove with Ralph.

[@danbrame5289]

RT need to get back in studio with Jam and Lewis. Bring in Face and he will have a slamming cd.

[@CodyCole80]

Dan Brame ... Sounds good, but at this rate in his career (just touring regular venues singing oldies with bills to pay), can he afford them? Those are top notch producers, so I'm sure they don't work for free.

[@tlig]

I doubt those guys (Babyface in particular) charge as much as they used to.

[@trinarose4704]

Codycole80 zba ha ha you like that good music

[@firstnamelastname4372]

Codycole80 NE makes a lot of money touring, they have a loyal fanbase and can sell out any city. They sold out MSG last year. His money is good

[@williamjustice3397]

He has stated he’s been in the studio with Jam and Lewis working on new music

[@helencox05]

I would give anything to see Ralph in person... I've been following him since he first started out!! way back in the day, him and I are the same age that's what makes it so great!

[@genelee1202]

2020 and still listening... Takin' a trip down memory lane...

[@veronicalove6958]

Me Too! 2022 still jamming right now 💜💙💜

[@alexisdykes5634]

Take me with you!! 😁 I would leave from this evil, crazy world to go down memory lane. 💔There is no better music than 70's, 80's, & 90's music. No School and grocery store shootings...PLEASE take me back! 😔

[@danvaughn1584]

YOU Gotta Actually BE From This ERA Too Fully Know About This Genre OF Music Period👏🏽💯💥🙌🏽🤴🏽🔥😎🤎💜❤️💎👑🎖️🏅🏆🎗️🎀🎁🏆🏆🙏🏽🎤🎶🎶

[@Tbiziou]

I was a very young teenager when he went solo, and every time I saw this video and sensitivity, I would cry. I liked him so bad y'all ! It tickled my mom so good but she would say, "He is fine though"

[@rebeccaholmes7132]

[@sheliawatts8170]

Ralph will always be my favorite singer out of the whole group no matter what I can listen to him any day 😊❤

[@raynarayskye]

Damn, I was in the 3rd grade when this song came out. I had a classmate whose older brother looked like Ralph. All the other girls in my class would always speak to him when he would come for his little brother.

[@dougstyles5091]

We're all blessed to have lived in these times. Don't ever forget that.

[@honestyisloyalty2425]

This is one of my favorite solo artist that left their group....Ralph sung this as if it was the way to let your girl go....I love how honest he came with this love ballad...I wish guys were more kinder with how they feel rather them just being like dogs and cheating....I'd prefer a guy tell you than acting...He could ask "Ralph?"....2 Break it off!...ha!
