Life and work
Tresvant (said to be pronounced [tɹəˈv¨»nt]) sang lead on many of the New Edition lead singles including "Candy Girl", "Cool It Now" and "If It Isn`t Love". Tresvant led the group from 1983 to 1989.
Despite the success of groupmates Bobby Brown, Bell Biv DeVoe, and Johnny Gill, Tresvant was cautious about his own solo career. Signing to MCA Records, Tresvant let his apprehension be known in several interviews.
Nevertheless, well-known producers Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis were confident in his abilities after having worked with him on the album Heartbreak. They wrote the song "Sensitivity" for him which hit #1 on the R&B charts, #4 on the Hot 100 and it went gold. His self-titled album released shortly after in 1990 and went platinum as well, topping the R&B charts. The album scored two more hits with "Stone Cold Gentleman" reaching #3 on the R&B charts and "Do What I Gotta Do" which reached #2.
Tresvant appeared in the movie House Party 2 in 1991, performing the song `Yo Baby Yo` from the House Party 2 Movie Soundtrack. The following year, he scored his fourth and final solo top 3 R&B hit to date, "Money Can`t Buy You Love", from the Mo` Money soundtrack. In 1993, he released his second album, It`s Goin` Down. The album featured greater involvement from Tresvant as he produced many of the tracks himself. However, the album failed to perform as well as the debut.
In 1996, he reunited with the other members of New Edition for the release of Home Again which became a success.
In October 2004 "Sensitivity" appeared in popular videogame Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, playing on R&B/Soul radio station CSR 103.9. On September 18, 2004 he married Amber Serrano.
Ralph`s third solo album, Rizz-Wa-Faire, was released March 7, 2006. The first single from the album was "My Homegirl".
Tresvant will portray Reverend Kenneth Winter in the 2008 film, Mama, I Want to Sing! starring pop-R&B singer Ciara who would play the main character Amara Winter, the daughter of Tresvant`s character. As of September 27, 2008, he began touring with Bobby Brown and Johnny Gill in a new group named Heads of State
