During The Summer Of 1984, New Edition Came To Chattanooga, Tn. For A Concert At The Memorial Auditorium. Michael Bivins Was Unable To Attend Because He Had Hurt His Knee A Couple Of Nights Earlier, So A Call Went Out For A 5th Member Of New Edition For The Chattanooga Engagement.

Radio Station Jet94 Sponsered A 1 Day Contest To Pick The 5th Member Of New Edition And Guys Throughout The City Showed Up To Audition, But In The End, 17 Year Old [[SHELLEY "SOLEMANN" KING) Was Picked....ROFLMBO

It Was A Great Show And I Fitted Right In With Ralph, Bobby, Ricky, And Ronnie As You Can See From The Above Picture...ROFLMBO.

Many Years Later During The Spring Of 2009, I Was Surprised To Get A Phone Call From A Manager Of New Edition, They Were Doing A 54 City Reunion Tour Featuring All Members Of The Group, But They Needed A Replacement For Johnny Gill Who Had A Previous Engagement, They Had Remembered Me Filling In For Michael Bivins 25 Years Earlier....ROFLMBO

We Had So Much Fun On That Tour....SMILE/ROFLMBO
