New Edition – Candy Girl (Netherlands 12″)

BURNING THE GROUND EXCLUSIVE 1983

“Candy Girl” is the debut single by New Edition from their debut album Candy Girl. It was released as a single in late February 1983 and the song hit number one on the UK Singles Chart, becoming the 31st best-selling single of the year. It also peaked at #1 on the Hot Black Singles chart on May 14, 1983.

New Edition was first discovered and mentored by their manager Brooke Payne. He entered them in a local talent show where they met songwriter/producer Maurice Starr who wrote “Candy Girl” for the group, envisioning them as a 1980s answer to the Jackson 5. Ralph Tresvant was positioned as the lead singer because Starr considered his high tenor as reminiscent of a younger Michael Jackson while having members Ricky Bell and Bobby Brown sharing alternate leads.

The 12″ version features producers Starr and Michael Jonzun doing some additional instrumentation in the outro.

Released as a single in February of 1983 before the album was released, the song made a slow ascent up the chart, peaking on June 25, 1983, at number 46 on the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart, and number 1 on the R&B singles chart in the US. It was most successful in the UK, where it peaked at number 1 for one week in May 1983.
