In the beginning there was a concept: a virtual troupe of entertainers that would combine their talents to become a lean, mean, self-contained musical machine. Now, over 30 years, several personnel changes and 21 LPs later, New Birth is poised to make a re-birth into the 21st century.​

New Birth's soulful and sensual sound is making a resurgence via some of today's most popular artists. Their tunes have been covered or sampled by K-Ci & Jo Jo, Notorious BIG, Lil Wayne, Kanye West and Jamie Foxx, to name a few.​

Today's New Birth consists of the nucleus of the original New Birth sound. Original members, brothers Leslie and Melvin Wilson have reformed the group.
