Like for instance, the first celebrity to buy my music before Royce was Be- was, um, was, um, Ricky Bell from Bell Biv DeVoe-

Toby BrooksHOST
Now, this was a crazy time in the American record industry, and particularly for Michael Bivins.
Toby BrooksHOST
Biv was a founding member of New Edition, and when members like Bobby Brown and Ralph Tresvant and Johnny Gill all started spinning off to do their own solo deals, Ricky Bell, Michael Bivins, and Ronnie DeVoe, Bell Biv DeVoe, formed their own group.
Toby BrooksHOST
Their debut album, Poison, in 1990 was a massive hit, going certified quadruple platinum, meaning it sold over four million copies.
Toby BrooksHOST
One of those was mine.
