Tresvant sang lead on many of the New Edition lead singles including "Candy Girl", "Cool It Now" and "If It Isn't Love". Tresvant led the group from 1983 to 1989.
Despite the success of groupmates Bobby Brown, Bell Biv DeVoe, and Johnny Gill, Tresvant was cautious about his own solo career. Signing to MCA Records, Tresvant let his apprehension be known in several interviews.
Nevertheless, well-known producers Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis were confident in his abilities after having worked with him on the album Heart Break. They wrote the song "Sensitivity" for him which hit #1 on the R&B charts, #4 on the Hot 100 and it went gold. His self-titled album released shortly after in 1990 and went platinum as well, topping the R&B charts. The album scored two more hits with "Stone Cold Gentleman" reaching #3 on the R&B charts and "Do What I Gotta Do" which reached #2.
Tresvant appeared in the movie House Party 2 in 1991 and the play, "The Man Of Her Dreams" in 2002. In 1993, he released his second album, It's Goin' Down. The album gave Tresvant greater involvement as he produced many of the tracks himself. However, perhaps due to limited promotion, the album failed to perform commercially as well as the debut.
In October 2004 "Sensitivity" appeared in popular videogame Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, playing on R&B/Soul radio station CSR 103.9.
On September 18, 2004, he married Amber Serrano.
Ralph's third solo album, Rizz Wa Faire, was released March 7, 2006. The first single from the album was "My Homegirl".
Tresvant will portray Reverend Winter in the 2008 film, Mama, I Want to Sing! starring pop-R&B singer Ciara.

Ralph Tresvant Lyrics
Listen baby donâ??t even waste your tears on an insensitive man
Thereâ??s a better place for you
I mean what you really need is someone who cares
Someone whoâ??s gonna be there for you, someone like me
Someone with sensitivity
Girl, I know it's been hard since he went away
And left you so sad you cry everyday
Let me kiss your tears erase all your doubts
Because for you Iâ??m here, you won't be without love
Don't need a man thatâ??ll give you money
Come on let me show you just what you need honey (I got what you need)
You donâ??t need a man thatâ??ll treat you wrong
You need a man with sensitivity (a man like me)
Someone who can love you
Someone who will need you
Someone who will treat you right (like me girl)
Someone who will hold at night
Someone stable in your life (ah baby)
You need a man with sensitivity
A man like me (baby)(honey)
Baby and Iâ??m the man (ah you no, you no)
Baby like i do baby (hang in their baby)
You need a man with sensitivity
A man like me
See you need someone who's there like a gentleman
If anybody can fit the description baby I can
Someone who cares and dares to give himself completely
You got it in me you need a man with sensitivity
You need a man, not any man
Warm and sensitive that's what I can give
You need a man, not any man
Warm and sensitive that's what I can give
You need a man, not any man
Warm and sensitive that's what I can give
Man with sensitivity
A man like me
Don't need a man thatâ??ll give you money
Come on let me show you just what you need honey (I got what you need)
You donâ??t need a man thatâ??ll treat you wrong
You need a man with sensitivity (a man like me)
Save a little love for me (sensitivity)
Baby I got what you need (I got it)
Man with sensitivity
A man like me
Hold on my darling
Donâ??t let me down
