(I Thought It Was Me)?”, “When Will I See You Smile Again?” and “She’s Dope!” Poison sold over four million copies, and was followed up by a remix album titled WBBD-Bootcity. Shortly thereafter, Richard Wolf and Epic Mazur were responsible for the remix of “Do Me!” (which hit Number Six on the dance charts). Poison reached number 1 on Billboard’s R&B/Hip-Hop chart, and its title track, along with its second single, “Do Me!”, both reached number 3 on Billboard’s Hot 100 chart. This fusion of styles helped to expose them to a fan base who prefer a harder edge sound. The album was credited as pioneering the “new jack swing” sound of the early 1990s, combining hip-hop, funk, soul, and pop music. With help from Public Enemy producers Eric Sadler, Hank and Keith Shocklee, and several others, Bell Biv Devoe released its debut album Poison in 1990, on MCA Records. Upon accepting the idea, MCA records wrote down the name Bell Bivins DeVoe, but Bivins suggested they remove the ins from his name and just call the group Bell Biv DeVoe. It consists of three members of New Edition: Ricky Bell, Michael Bivins, and Ronnie DeVoe.īell, Bivins, and DeVoe formed the group at the suggestion of producers Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis. Bell Biv DeVoe, also known as BBD, is an American music group that branched off from New Edition.
