WBLS 107.5, the #1 urban radio station in the country hosted the event lead by PD Skip Dillard, Shaila, Fred “Bugsy” Buggs, Lenny “Quiet Storm” Green, Deja Vu & comedian great, EarthQuake. OK, let’s cut to the chase. As much as we wanted to reunite with Patti Labelle who we had not seen in ages since we wrote & produced on her Gold Album “Be Yourself” along with Prince writing & producing as well, we especially wanted to reunite with our little brothers New Edition. (We did indeed hook up with Patti in her dressing room & she was so happy to see us again as we were happy to see her too. Alas no Patti Pies backstage. We did see the man who made the Patti Pie famous: Mr James Wright Chanel, though and he later sang on stage with Patti). Anyway, back at the FF-NE Ranch >>> Full Force & New Edition’s friendship & connection go back 25 plus years when they first came to New York to play us in a basketball game which never got completed because during half time they started to do an impromtu minor dance & singing performance on the damn basketball court & though they were just foolin’ around … the fans charged the court and that was the end of that. READ THIS RELATED STORY: TV One’s ‘UnSung Revisited’ Debuts with Full Force & Paul Anthony Flash Forward years later: we had a rematch that BET sponsored in Washington DC. They beat us by luck 55-49 as you will see video highlights of that game attached at the end of this story. What you won’t see is Donnie Simpson who played on our side scoring in the wrong damn basket. Jeeeez! After that game we recruited Biv & Ronnie to play with the Full Force All Stars in a series of Celebrity Charity Games which we won most of them except when we played against Arsenio Hall & his Police Force friends. They cheated. So Full Force’s connection with New Edition began as a basketball connection which lead to a great & respectful friendship. All those years we also befriended New Edition’s master choreographer, manager, artistic director, friend & often called the 7th member of New Edition>Mr. Brooke Payne. Brooke is also the uncle of Ronnie Devoe. He has been with the group since the very beginning. His over-seeing the fellas is also a spiritual & positive one as well. I have been in a few of those hands all-in prayer circles that Brooke would at times lead before New Edition took the stage. New Edition in my opinion is 1 of the top 5 R&B vocal/dance-steppin’ groups of all time. Brooke’s finger-tips & foot-tips created the blueprint of New Edition’s masterful fancy foot-work of a stage show. His inspiration has touched every member since they were little kids till now as grown men. Ralph, Mike, Ricky, Ronnie, Bobby & Johnny. Brooke Payne Out of all Brooke’s NE choreographed songs, in my opinion I say his signature gem to me is “If It Isn’t Love.” The precision timing & syncopated in & out movement of the fellas as they dart and weave in between each other, then forming equal coordination together is simply crazy & amazing. The steps to that song in my opinion is one of the best depictions of the Brooke Payne method of choreography. (The video of “If It Isn’t love” is attached here as well after this story plus in the video it is Brooke Payne who makes an appearance in the video as he opens up the video verbally giving a pep talk & instructions to the fellas) The day before the concert, I called/texted Brooke and asked as usual if we and our peeps can get backstage passes to say what’s up to him & the fellas. He texted back>Done! I also told him that Paul & i wanted to surprise & present something to the guys from us to them. From Peers To Peers & […]
