#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.

The LATE great Aaliyah would have turned 46 today!
In celebration of Aaliyah‘s birthday, Barbie is paying homage to the “princess of R&B” with a stunning new doll. Part of Mattel‘s growing Music Collector series, the iconic doll brand honors the late singer’s unforgettable talent and timeless influence on music and fashion that has helped shape ’90s hip-hop culture.
The Aaliyah Barbie doll is inspired by her iconic “One in a Million” music video. The figure is dressed in a black faux leather ensemble with several accessories that scream ’90s, including studded lace-up details, sleek black shades and her signature hairstyle, with hair swooping over one eye. The Barbie team worked closely with Aaliyah’s brother, Rashad Haughton, to develop the concept for the doll and ensure the result was true to Aaliyah’s legacy and persona.
“I can vividly remember my sister playing with her favorite Barbie dolls for hours when we were kids. She would make them sing, dance, and perform little concerts,” said Haughton in a statement. “It’s clear to me now that she was imagining dreams that would eventually become reality when she embarked on a career in entertainment at just fifteen years old.”
Aaliyah broke out onto the R&B scene in 1994 with her incredible debut single “Back & Forth.” She would go on to earn numerous accolades, including three American Music Awards, two MTV Video Music Awards, and five Grammy nominations during her career before tragically dying in a plane crash in 2001.
Celebrate Aaliyah’s iconic legacy with her well-deserved Music Collector series Barbie doll available now for pre-order through Target, with a general release on Jan. 26
Happy Birthday in paradise Aaliyah! Gone but not forgotten… your legacy will live on FOREVER!!!!!
