'''Bell Biv DeVoe''', also known as '''BBD''', is an American music group from Boston, Massachusetts, formed from members of [[New Edition]], consisting of [[Ricky Bell (singer)|Ricky Bell]], [[Michael Bivins]], and [[Ronnie DeVoe]].

The band is best known for their debut album, the multi-platinum selling ''[[Poison (Bell Biv DeVoe album)|Poison]]'' (1990), a key work in the [[new jack swing]] movement of the 1990s that combined elements of traditional [[soul music|soul]] and [[R&B music|R&B]] with [[hip hop music|hip hop]]. It was supported by two singles: "[[Poison (Bell Biv DeVoe song)|Poison]]" and "[[Do Me!]]", both of which peaked at number three on the [[Billboard Hot 100]]. The band released three more albums, though none matched the success of their debut. Their fourth album, ''[[Three Stripes (album)|Three Stripes]]'' (2017) is their most recent release.

Despite only producing four albums of original material in a 31-year span, the group has continuously toured and performed live,<ref>{{Cite web |last=Triplett |first=Divine |date=2024-08-01 |title=Bell Biv Devoe Coming to Indy in August 2024 |url=https://www.wishtv.com/news/allindiana/bell-biv-devoe-coming-to-indy-in-august-2024/ |access-date=2024-09-26 |website=Indianapolis News {{!}} Indiana Weather {{!}} Indiana Traffic {{!}} WISH-TV {{!}} |language=en-US}}</ref> both as an act on their own and on several New Edition reunion tours.

==History==
The trio of [[Ricky Bell (singer)|Ricky Bell]], [[Michael Bivins]], and [[Ronnie DeVoe]] has their origins as founders of the [[Boston]]-based quintet [[New Edition]], which had gained notice of famed producer [[Maurice Starr]] at a talent show in 1981, and as children had several hits with songs like "[[Candy Girl (New Edition song)|Candy Girl]]" and "[[Cool It Now]]".

Throughout the 1980s, the line-up changed and the group matured and sought to branch out in new musical directions.  During a hiatus in 1989, and at the suggestion of producers [[Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis]], the three decided to form a new group, and were signed by [[MCA Records]].<ref name="popdose">Heyliger, Mike. "Popdose Flashback ’90: Bell Biv DeVoe, Poison" (Popdose.com.  March 11, 2010. Web. March 25, 2010.)</ref> With help from [[Public Enemy (group)|Public Enemy]] producers [[Eric Sadler]], [[Hank Shocklee|Hank]] and [[Keith Shocklee]] and several others, Bell Biv Devoe released its debut album ''Poison'' in 1990, an album credited as pioneering the "[[new jack swing]]" sound of the early 1990s, combining hip-hop, R&B, funk, soul, and pop music.<ref>J. D. Considine. "After a great 1990, Bell Biv DeVoe to ring in new year: [FINAL Edition]". December 28, 1990, ''Baltimore Sun''. Web.  1 Apr. 2010.</ref> This fusion of styles helped to expose them to a fan base which preferred a harder edged sound.<ref name="popdose" /> ''Poison'' reached number 1 on ''Billboard''{{'}}s R&B/Hip-Hop chart, and [[Poison (Bell Biv DeVoe song)|its title track]], along with its second single, "[[Do Me!]]", both reached number 3 on ''Billboard''{{'}}s Hot 100 chart. Shortly thereafter, [[Richard Wolf (Film & TV composer)|Richard Wolf]] and [[Epic Mazur]] were responsible for the remix of "Do Me!" (which hit number six on the dance charts).<ref>{{cite news|last=Widran|first=Jonathan|title=Producer Crosstalk|newspaper=Music Connection|date=April 14, 1991}}</ref> ''Poison'' also spawned the singles  "[[B.B.D. (I Thought It Was Me)?]]", "[[When Will I See You Smile Again?]]" and "[[She's Dope!]]"<ref>"Bell Biv DeVoe: Chart History". ''Billboard''. n.d. Web. 25 Mar. 2010.</ref> ''Poison'' sold over four million copies, and was followed up by a remix album titled ''WBBD-Bootcity''.<ref>Huey, Steve. "Bell Biv DeVoe: Biography." AllMusic.

In 1992, Bell Biv DeVoe co-wrote and were featured on the US Top 10  single "[[The Best Things in Life Are Free (Luther Vandross and Janet Jackson song)|The Best Things in Life Are Free]]", a duet between American singers [[Luther Vandross]] and [[Janet Jackson]], recorded for the [[Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis]] [[Mo' Money (soundtrack)|produced soundtrack]] to the 1992 American film ''[[Mo' Money]]''. 

Bell Biv DeVoe released ''[[Hootie Mack]]'' in 1993 on MCA Records, and the more hardcore rap/R&B influenced ''[[BBD (album)|BBD]]'' in 2001 on [[Biv 10 Records]]. Neither album was as successful as ''Poison'', though ''Hootie Mack'' did reach Gold success. Despite the fact that the group has only released four albums, the members of Bell Biv Devoe continue to perform together as a group.<ref>Gerald M.

On May 30, 2013, Bell Biv DeVoe performed their hit song "Poison" for [[Boston Strong]], a benefit concert to raise money for victims of the [[Boston Marathon bombing]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.classichitsandoldies.com/v2/2013/05/31/aerosmith-james-taylor-boston-nkotb-and-others-perform-at-boston-strong-benefit-concert/ |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131225020829/http://www.classichitsandoldies.com/v2/2013/05/31/aerosmith-james-taylor-boston-nkotb-and-others-perform-at-boston-strong-benefit-concert/ |url-status=usurped |archive-date=December 25, 2013 |title=Aerosmith, James Taylor, Boston, NKOTB and Others Perform at Boston Strong Benefit Concert |publisher=Classichitsandoldies.com |date=2013-05-28 |access-date=2013-06-01}}</ref>

In 2016, BBD released their first track in 15 years, "Run," along with an accompanying music video.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://ambrosiaforheads.com/2016/09/bell-biv-devoe-run-video-hypnotize/|title=Bell Biv Devoe Make A Run With Their First New Song In 15 Years (Video)|date=2016-09-12|language=en-US|access-date=2016-09-12}}</ref> It was the first single off the album ''[[Three Stripes (album)|Three Stripes]]'', which was released January 27, 2017.

In 2023, they performed the national anthem with The [[Boston Pops Orchestra]] at the [[2023 Winter Classic]].

On October 5, 2023, BBD released a new single entitled, "Act Like You Know" featuring [[Joseph Simmons|Rev Run]].
