The story of New Kids on the Block is linked to another boy band from the 1980s: New Edition. Maurice Starr (originally Larry Johnson) was the producer and promoter who helped the five Black teens of New Edition achieve success. But after hits like “Candy Girl,” the group decided to separate from Starr, who lost a subsequent legal battle. Starr was...
In Dorchester, a working-class area in Boston, Alford found 14-year-old Donnie Wahlberg.

During an early gig at the Franklin Park Kite Festival, Nynuk faced a jeer...
In 1986, the group was signed to the R&B division at Columbia Records. However, the label didn’t care for the name Nynuk. As the boys had never liked the name either, they were happy to become the New Kids on the Block, a name shared with a rap song that had been co-written by Wahlberg. Their first album, the eponymous New Kids on the Block, was re...
In 1987, the New Kids worked on their second album, much of which was recorded in a studio at Starr’s house that lacked soundproofing and other amenities. And though Starr was still writing their music, they were now more confident and adding their own touches. When Hangin’ Toughcame out in 1988, Starr still wanted the group to target Black audienc...
