Biography

After his success with New Edition, producer Maurice Starr decided to replicate the group, substituting suburban white kids for the young black teenagers. The result was New Kids on the Block. Comprised of Boston-area singers Donnie Wahlberg, Jordan Knight, Jon Knight, Danny Wood, and Joe McIntyre, the New Kids had a seemingly endless streak of hits in 1988, 1989, and 1990; their Christmas album even went double platinum. Their popularity began to fade in the early '90s, and in June of 1994 the bandmembers announced that they had acrimoniously parted ways and were now pursuing solo careers. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine
