Candy Girl is a debut album of New Edition, released by Streetwise Records on March 1, 1983. The album was produced by Maurice Starr and Arthur Baker.

Production and conception

New Edition was created by Bobby Brown after a failed talent show due to his stage fright. Bobby put the group together by adding Ricky Bell and Michael Bivins. With need for an additional singer Ralph Tresvant was added in 1978. The name New Edition was given to them by Brooke Payne, choreographer and uncle of Ronnie DeVoe who decided the group would be better choreographed with five members so he added his nephew Ronnie DeVoe but only after proving he was able to make the cut. Maurice Starr wrote and produced the title song seeing New Edition perform at a talent show. He signed them and had them record "Candy Girl" in a small studio in Roxbury, Massachusetts in 1982. By the time the title song "Candy Girl" was released they were an oiled machine, so oiled that Kurtis Blow an elite rapper at that time opened up for them. The band members were between the ages of 14-16 when the song was released.[1]{{unreliablesource|date=October 2013}}
