They eventually did sign a fifth to replace Bobby Brown, and this is probably my favorite New Edition ballad. Today's video features the introduction of Johnny Gill singing lead along with Ralph Tresvant. The rest of the NE crew contributes in their own way as they ask the age old question - "Can You Stand the Rain?" Come on baby, let's go get wet...
