Bell Biv Devoe

It wasn't commercially successful, probably because it had a harder rap sound. Following an album and tour with Debbie Bonham, the younger sister of John Bonham, Bonham was invited to drum for hard rock group UFO. Bell Biv Devoe released their third album B.B.D. in 2001. The album followed up with When You See the Sun. Bonham drummed for Healing Sixes in 2000 and appeared in the film Rock Star which starred Mark Wahlberg. All three members reunited with the other members of New Edition to record and release another album in 8 years, Home Again, and went on another tour in 1996. Proceeds from the album went to charity. Bell Biv Devoe recurred in 1993 with their second album Hootie Mack, but it was less successful than the first. Bonham soon put together another solo project which culminated in the In The Name of the Father: The ZepSet which featured the songs of Led Zeppelin.

In the meantime,since Bivins was interested in discovering and developing new talent, he organized the "East Coast Family",which besides Bell Biv Devoe, also consists of Another Bad Creation and Boyz II Men. At the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, Jason represented his father when Led Zeppelin was inducted during 1996. W.B.B.D.Bootcity:The Remixes cd followed in 1991 year. A year later with Slash and Paul Rodgers, he appeared at Woodstock II in 1994 followed by a stint with Motherload on their Peace 4 Me album. The album's title track came in 3rd place on the r&b charts and other hit singles from it include B.B.D.(I Thought It Was Me), When Will I See You Smile Again, and Dope! . Bonham drummed for Paul Rodgers on the Grammy winning Muddy Water Blues: A Tribute to Muddy Waters project. Compared to fellow new jack swing ensemble New Edition, Bell Biv Devoe's material has funkier rhythms, sexier lyrics and vocals and a much harder, stronger, hip-hop meets r&b flavor to it. His wedding reception included a jam with Jimmy Page, Robert Plant, and John Paul Jones.

The first album "Poison" was released in 1990 and sold over 3 million copies. In May 1990, Bonham married Jan Charteris, in Stone, Kidderminster. Their debut album was produced by a variety of producers, including Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis, Public Enemy's producers Hank and Keith Shocklee, Timmy Gatling(formerly of Guy) and several others. After a lukewarm reception to his second solo album, Bonham concentrated on session work and guest appearances. It wasn't until after the tour in support of the release of New Edition's 1988 album, Heart Break, that the threesome decided to split from the two other members of the group and started their own project. The single "Wait for You" taken from the album, was a major success. Bell Biv DeVoe is a spinoff group formed by the members of New Edition: Ricky Bell, Mike Bivins and Ronnie DeVoe. His first solo album, The Disregard of Timekeeping appeared in 1989.

John Paul Jones believes Bonham's performance was outstanding that night. The following year, Bonham appeared with other members of Led Zeppelin for a "reunion" at Atlantic Records' 40th Anniversary concert in New York. In 1987, Bonham joined former Led Zeppelin guitarist Jimmy Page for his Outrider album and tour. At 17, he joined his first band, Airrace.

He first began playing drums at the age of 4, and appeared with his father in the film The Song Remains the Same, drumming on a scaled-down kit. Bonham born was in the town of Dudley, Worcestershire.
