New Edition was formed in 1978 it was Bobby Brown's idea as he asked Ricky Bell & Michael Bivins his childhood friends to sing in a group with him. They had other friends Travis Pettus & a guy Giavani MacLamore but he wasn't there that long at all and sadly passed away. They got another guy Corey Rackley & auditioned for local choreographer & group manager Brooke Payne at his home in Boston. He agreed to groom and work with them along with his younger cousin Travis Gresham. Rackley would then leave the group & they adeed Ralph Tresvant who also sang with Ricky Bell in a duo called Double R Connection also managed by Gresham, So Bell suggested Tresvant join his other group New Edition which Mike, Bobby, & Travis happily accepted. But not long after Ralph joined Travis Pettus would leave the group as well to focus on Basketball which is how the group all originally came together at the Orchard Park Boys & Girls YMCA in their neighborhood. After several talent shows Maurice Starr discovered them in 1982 at the Hollywood Talent Night in Boston & although they won 2nd place he agreed to work with them then Payne & Starr suggested they bring in a 5th member so Brooke Payne brought his nephew Ronnie DeVoe into the gruop. DeVoe grew up in another housing project in Roxbury called Cathedral Projects while the other members were in Orchard Park. He quickly became the best of friends with the rest of the guys and was happy to be with New Edition after his previous group The Dramatics also managed by Brooke Payne did not go anywhere
