Bobby Brown, Johnny Gill and Ralph Tresvant
In the ’80s, Bobby Brown, Johnny Gill and Ralph Tresvant made their bones as the voices of hood romance in New Edition. Since the group’s split, reunion, split and reunion, the solo careers of each have moved women to tears with hits like “Tenderoni,” “My My My” and “Sensitivity.” The trio’s Valentine’s Day concert at the Keswick will set you back $60, but the laugh you’ll get seeing Bobby Brown gyrate is priceless.
