If I Were You, I'd Take Precaution

When the trio of Ricky Bell, Michael Bivins, and Ronnie DeVoe formed the trio Bell Biv Devoe, they spit out an instant classic and awesome album in 1990 entitled "Poison." The album went multi platinum four times and I still own the cd somewhere amongst my cd collection. The album helped pioneer the New Jack Swing of the early to mid 90's and produced numerous hits with today's double-shot being the biggest two hits from the album. First up is "Do Me!"...
