Tomorrow's Edition

Funk group · Soul group · Vocal group · c. 1981 – 1987

Tomorrow's Edition were a funk and soul vocal group of the Jersey City scene of the 1980s; the Jersey City label Mel-O Records was founded by producer Mel Odoms specifically to release their records.

In the Record§

Their run opened with the single "U Turn Me On" (Mel-O MLO-437, 1981, picked up by CBS) and peaked with the album A Song for Everyone (Atlantic 80009-1, 1982), produced by Amir Bayyan of the Kool & the Gang family and remembered by collectors as one of the strongest lesser-known major-label soul albums of its era.

They continued on Mel-O through the 1980s with "I'm The Best" (1984) and "Million Dollars" (1987), and sang background vocals on Kool & the Gang recordings.
