Johnny Gill is the reason early NEW EDITION songs sounded so mature. His voice was amazing, and only got better into his 20's. I have this on cassette, lol
@@levil4012 Ah, I know a fan when I see one :) I wore that album out on cassette, playing it on my Walkman on my bus rides to and from school. How perfectly 80's is that? Johnny's voice on Can U Stand The Rain! WITH THOSE RUNS!!! It's heavenly.
Babyface actually wrote that song for his brothers that were in a group called After 7 but they were late to the recording studio and Johnny Gill was like give me that song when he heard a snippet. So... they recorded the song with Johnny.
The two voices are quite different, Teddy has more of a baritone voice, Johnny more of a tenor voice. They are both great singers, but Teddy is the most experienced singer of the two and can use his vocals more flexibly than Johnny. Teddy Pendergrass can be equated with his singing skills with Luther Vandross and both have a distinctive voice. Many greetings from Heidelberg / Germany
Johnny's vocals on New Edition's "Can You Stand The Rain" is another stand out. Give that a listen. But for this kind of music, with this type of low and raw voice, there was only one singer that was king. Try Teddy Pendergrass doing "Close The Door", and "Turn Out The Lights".
But there are different voices of Johnny and Teddy, I have already written a comment about the voices. he was.....The two voices are quite different, Teddy has more of a baritone voice, Johnny more of a tenor voice. They are both great singers, but Teddy is the most experienced singer of the two and can use his vocals more flexibly than Johnny. Teddy Pendergrass can be equated with his singing skills with Luther Vandross and both have a distinctive voice...... But they are right, both can roughen the tone very well, some singers like to do that to better express the lyrics and to bring drama into the song. Many greetings from Heidelberg / Germany
@@dancefloor9032 I case you didn't notice I said "with this type of music". And Tresvant is a tenor. Johnny will always be a baritone. See the difference?
@@helgar791 didn't attack your comment, I just believe that Johnny Gill and Teddy Pendergrass have different voices. I agree with your statement about the rough voices. Where is the problem ? furthermore, they did not write a word about a baritone or tenor in their commentary.
This is my music growing up to high school time, I think the music back when i was young is way better than the music today, still a hot song that movies you with out being over the top and vulgar in lyrics
In 1992 at a New Year's event in an American barracks in Germany, I danced to this song by Johnny Gill all by myself on the dance floor. In this event hall there was a stage with a DJ playing music and in front of the stage there was a large dance floor, but nobody but me danced. About 800 American people sat at their tables and watched me as I danced on My, My, My. It was wonderful and later most of the Americans danced too of the Soul , R&B and Funk Music. I will always remember the beautiful evening. I thank America for the beautiful music. Many greetings from Heidelberg / Germany
Because 80s hitmaker Stacy Lattisaw helped him get recording/into music, he always makes me think of her and her amazing voice. Her last song before leaving industry was #1 duet with him.
When this song came out Johnny was a guest on the Arsenio Hall show. During the interview, Arsenio pulled some random lady from the audience and asked Johnny to start singing to her like she was on a first date with him and he was trying to impress her. He got right up in her face, hit the first couple of lines from this song, she turned fifty shades of red and just about fainted on stage. Almost every woman in the place lost it, lol.
I ❤️ that you ❤️ the music I grew up on (1984-2004). I feel so blessed to have lived this life in the eras that I have. It’s been amazing to witness everything I have, and although I’m “older” now, I’ve always made a point of continuing to love new music as well as the the old. When you go back you get a greater appreciation for how the music has evolved. It makes it all the more enjoyable.
Das stimmt ......that's true....You say it in one sentence. I bought all of the Johnny Gill Records in the 90s. His music is soulful, funky and classic. I would have liked to see him perform a live concert. Greetings from Heidelberg / Germany
This was all Babyface on the writing and producing. He got Kenny G on the sax and After 7 for the background. Johny almost missed out on his biggest hit, because he didn't want to do the song at first
I felt as if I was in a tennis match. My head going from left to right, looking at Johnny and then your facial expressions in response to his moves and vocals! So cute 🥰 I’m sure at some point in my younger years I was slow dancing to this sexy song! I enjoyed watching you react to this!
The song was written by Babyface for his two brothers Kevon & Melvin along with third member Keith Mitchell of the group After 7. Melvin was actually going through some issues and the song was given to Johnny to record. The saxophone is actually being played by the one and only Kenny G.
a classic and incredible artistic work by Gill, Babyface, After 7, and Kenny G. Kenneth "Babyface" Edmonds has so many great songs out there. thank you for sharing your exuberance and joy in this video!
Awwww you reacted to this song! I’m gonna subscribe now coz I think I watched a few of your reactions in less than half an hour haha. Babyface songs are just love and this song with Johnny’s vocals *chefkiss*
I assure you that you have never heard anything like it among the voices. Diana Ankudinova's voice goes straight to the soul. Among the reactionaries, Diana has long earned the title of queen of goosebumps. Fallen in love with her humanity, her soul, her voice, her personality, her talent, humor, intelligence, courage, ... ❤️ Recommend making reactions to Wicked Game, Its Man's Man's Man's World and other
The kids are all grown up now, but Johnny boy, you know you caused a tidal wave, population explosion after you dropped this joint. Teddy Pendergrass lit the 1970s, then passed the torch to you bro.
I second the request for Quincy Jones' Secret Garden featuring Barry White, Al B. Sure, El DeBarge and James Ingram! But get yourself a handheld fan first! 😂😂😂
The long version of that song is called The Erotic Garden. It's a master-class in baby-making music. So is almost anything recorded by Luther Vandross. Finally, check out Love don't live here anymore, by Rose Royce.
@@philreichenbach2413 Herr Reichenbach ich glaube nicht das sie viel Ahnung von Musik haben. Sie reden sehr böse über Musik, Musik ist zum hören da. Ach sie sind kein Deutscher dann in Englisch........Mr. Reichenbach, I don't think you know much about music. They talk very badly about music, music is there to be heard. Oh you are not German then in English. Grüße aus Heidelberg / Germany
Next best song to go from here to get some more truly yummy Johnny Gill is "I'm Still Waiting." My favorite! I'm still listening to it in 2022 like it came out yesterday! (Just wish the video quality on the one that's available was better)
Imagine a recording entrepreneur starting a throwback R&B company to give real artists an avenue to spread this type of wholesome, romantic and respectful music one more time in our lives!!!
Just wish that my wife and I were together back when music like this first came out! Do y’all remember the word “sprung”? Folks like Johnny Gill helped more than a few of us back in the day…😏😏😏
Great reaction to Johnny Gill! Check out his song for filling the dance floor “rub you the right way”. Was the jam back in the nineties :) Also gotta gotta react to Chris Isaak- wicked game official video. It’s a must react to if you’ve never heard it. Great reaction as always!
