#WHOREMEMBERS the R&B trio ‘The Newtrons’!?

The Newtrons were a male R&B trio from the early ’90s that consisted of the Newt brothers: twins Bobby and Ronnie, and their younger brother, Johnnie Newt (born on July 9, 1979 in San Francisco, California).

The youngsters first started out as street performers who would perform at PIER 39 in San Francisco. They later met Michael Jackson and released their debut single, “The Day I Tasted Love” on Joe Jackson’s record label in 1987.

In 1989, their late father, Ron Newt Sr. (who escaped from a state prison where he was serving time for a weapons conviction) negotiated a record deal for them with MCA Records.

In 1990, The Newtrons released their self-titled debut album which failed to make any impact on the album charts.

The lead single, “My Heart Beats For You” peaked at #46 on Billboard’s Hot Black Singles chart, staying on the chart for 10 weeks.

Johnnie later changed his stage name to J. Valentine and released his debut album, “The Testimony” in 2011. He has also written and produced songs for artists such as Keyshia Cole, Justin Timberlake, Tyrese, *NSYNC, Omarion, Mario, Tank, LeToya Luckett, TGT and E-40.

Bobby has also written songs for artists such as Kevon Edmonds, Coko (from SWV), Omarion, Tank, Keyshia Cole, TGT and Chris Brown.
