They also participated in several New Edition reunions, and continue to perform with them on tour as part of the group. Despite the fact that their last album was released in 2001, the members of Bell Biv Devoe continue to perform together as a group. Neither album was as successful as Poison however, Hootie Mack did reach Gold success. īell Biv DeVoe went on to release Hootie Mack in 1993 on MCA Records, and the more hardcore rap/R&B influenced BBD in 2001 on Biv 10 Records. Richard Wolf and Epic Mazur helped create BBD's premiere album, blending rhythm, blues, pop, and rock, and Poison achieve triple Platinum success. (I Thought It Was Me)?", "When Will I See You Smile Again?" and "She's Dope!" Poison sold over four million copies, and was followed up by a remix album titled WBBD-Bootcity. Shortly thereafter, Richard Wolf and Epic Mazur were responsible for the remix of "Do Me!" (which hit Number Six on the dance charts). Poison reached number 1 on Billboard's R&B/Hip-Hop chart, and its title track, along with its second single, "Do Me!", both reached number 3 on Billboard's Hot 100 chart. This fusion of styles helped to expose them to a fan base who prefer a harder edged sound. The album was credited as pioneering the "new jack swing" sound of the early 1990s, combining hip-hop, funk, soul, and pop music.
With help from Public Enemyproducers Eric Sadler , Hank and Keith Shocklee and several others, Bell Biv Devoe released its debut album Poison in 1990, on MCA Records. Upon accepting the idea, MCA records wrote down the name Bell Bivins DeVoe, but Bivins suggested they remove the ins from his name and just call the group Bell Biv DeVoe. Bell, Bivins, and DeVoe formed the group at the suggestion of producers Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis.
