| - New Edition is a R&B band from Boston, Massachusetts. At the time of Ghostbusters II soundtrack, the band was a five piece and didn't feature Bobby Brown, which had left New Edition in 1986.
- New Edition was a 1980s musical group whose members included Bobby Brown. The group was interviewed by Janice in Muppet Magazine issue 11.
- Guided by producer Maurice Starr, New Edition was originally a trio, but first recorded as a Jackson 5-esque collection of five young black teenage singers, including lead singers Ralph Tresvant, Bobby Brown, and Ricky Bell and rappers Michael Bivins and Ronnie DeVoe. Like the Jackson 5 before them, New Edition became a pop phenomenon, and were big enough to have Madonna as an opening act during their early days. In the early 1980s, New Edition sold more units in the United States than any other teen singing group.

| - New Edition is a R&B band from Boston, Massachusetts. At the time of Ghostbusters II soundtrack, the band was a five piece and didn't feature Bobby Brown, which had left New Edition in 1986.
- New Edition was a 1980s musical group whose members included Bobby Brown. The group was interviewed by Janice in Muppet Magazine issue 11.
- Guided by producer Maurice Starr, New Edition was originally a trio, but first recorded as a Jackson 5-esque collection of five young black teenage singers, including lead singers Ralph Tresvant, Bobby Brown, and Ricky Bell and rappers Michael Bivins and Ronnie DeVoe. Like the Jackson 5 before them, New Edition became a pop phenomenon, and were big enough to have Madonna as an opening act during their early days. In the early 1980s, New Edition sold more units in the United States than any other teen singing group. The group was formed by Bobby Brown, Michael Bivins and Ricky Bell in 1978, while living at the Orchard Park housing projects (or what the group and residents of the area calls them popularly as "The Bricks") in the Roxbury district of Boston, Massachusetts. They would soon meet a young local group manager/choreographer named Brooke Payne, who would give them the name, ‘New Edition.’ Bell soon brought his best friend Ralph Tresvant in on the act, who quickly became their lead singer; Payne later rounded out the line-up by bringing in his nephew, Ronnie DeVoe.
