The group's hits with Brown included "Candy Girl", "Cool It Now", and "Mr. Telephone Man". Brown was voted out of New Edition in 1986 when the other four members felt their careers would be jeopardized by Bobby's lewd on-stage antics. Throughout the '' All For Love '' tour, he feuded with Ralph Tresvant and cut in on Tresvant's lead vocals. In 1996, Brown rejoined for New Edition's comeback album '' Home Again ''. In the middle of the tour, he made further on-stage antics. He extended his solo set and cut into Bell Biv Devoe's time. During an interview, he admitted that he was intoxicated during the tour. He once again left New Edition and continued to get in trouble with the law. In the fall of '05, New Edition performed at BET's 25th Anniversary Special. The group performed a medley of their greatest hits, and even brought Bobby Brown onstage for a rendition of "Mr. Telephone Man". It was later announced on BET and Inside Hollywood that Bobby had rejoined the group and would be on the next group album. By January 2006, New Edition announced that the group would launch a new album and tour in 2008. Solo career A pioneer of New Jack Swing music, Brown released his second album ''Don't Be Cruel'' in 1988 . With hits like the title cut, "Every Little Step," "Rock Wit' Cha," " My Perogative " (a song that was subsequently covered by Britney Spears in 2004 ), and "Roni," the album made Brown famous. The following year he contributed 2 songs (the #2 pop single "On Our Own") to the '' Ghostbusters 2 '' soundtrack (Brown also had a cameo in the film).
