New Edition rocked the stage of the 2011 Essence Music Festival and surprisingly ALL 6 members showed up and showed out!
Ricky Bell, Ronnie Devoe, Johnny Gill, Ralph Tresvant, Michael Bivens and Bobby Brown all hit the stage with a rousing performance.
“We knew we had to bring the “A” game and there was no room for anything but an “A”…” ~ Johnny Gill
Starting their set with Can You Stand the Rain, the group surprised the crowd when Bobby Brown hit the stage.
Johnny Gill eventually exited stage left, and Bobby led the group to an old school rendition of “Jealous Girl”…
