The band’s rise continued with 1990’s Step by Step, its smash-hit title track, and a relentless touring schedule. Thanks to a combination of their slick melodies and dreamy lyrics, the members became superstars. While their self-titled debut of bubblegum pop came out in 1986, it wasn’t until 1988’s Hangin’ Tough-led by singles “Please Don’t Go Girl” and “You Got It (The Right Stuff)”-that New Kids mania hit fever pitch. Under Starr’s guidance, they became the New Kids On the Block, a dancing, singing, hitmaking machine. He found Donnie Wahlberg, Danny Wood, Joey McIntyre, and brothers Jordan and Jonathan Knight.
NKOTB started in 1985 when New Edition impresario Maurice Starr launched a talent search in Boston looking for a group of boys with the right stuff. For many tweens in the late ‘80s, New Kids On the Block were just as crucial as boy-band godfathers The Beatles had been a couple decades earlier.
