Another Certified Classic Produced by L.A & Babyface 1990 That's After 7 Singing The Background Vocals & The Legendary Kenny G On The Sax The Song Was Originally For After 7 but L.A & Babyface Suggested That Johnny should have it
Babyface wrote this song with Johny Gill in mind to perform it, but ironically Johny turned it down at first. Johny was convinced to do it and with Babyface's production, his brothers from After 7 on the background vocals, and Kenny G on the saxophone, it became his biggest hit. Til this day Babyface still gives him a hard time about it... Babyface also wrote Fairweather Friend for Johny.
@@diaquitaquita8984 he had worked with Bobby Brown and Ralph Tresvant, that's probably why he had Johny in mind.. Brian McKnight could've worked on this song, but I use to wonder if Gerald Levert had done it.
Baby face wrote this song for after7 hence why they’re on the the hook and background vocals ,1 of the brothers didn’t show up for the session so Johnny did it .
@g4lsupreme542 just repeating what Babyface said during a concert, where he was recalling a lot of songs he wrote. I mentioned how Johny turned it down at first, so it was probably offered to his brothers next, but ultimately he wanted Johny all along
Very nice song. It came out in 1990. So you're right about the 80s and sax. A cross between late 80s early 90's vibe. Kenny G on the sax & background vocalists were After 7, two of Babyface's (co-producer & co-writer) brothers & their friend were in that trio group. I really like your 1st time reaction to this song.
@@JackReacts904 it's actually a deeper story. Babyface wrote the song for After 7. They did the background vocals and the day Melvin was supposed to come in to do the lead, he was MIA and they couldn't get a hold of him. Johnny Gill walked by the studio and Babyface says, " Hey Johnny, try this out!" Rest is history
No one would have ever heard of Johnny Gill if not for Stacy Lattisaw, their last duet #1 song still sounds great, both could sing without studio enhancements
We use to thrash this jam growing up in Kiwi land. Still a favourite down under, especially amongst the Indigenous people of NZ. Checkout Sons of Zion "Love On The Run", L. A. B "Natural"
You were excited about one of the new edition songs he was on and was shocked at his voice. Glad you could hear him all by himself. He has a powerful voice and wished he could have had a longer career.His growl reminds me of Teddy Pendagrass.
I have been waiting on this reaction. This was playing when I met my husband 30 years ago❤A little late to the party had minor surgery but catching up on all your latest videos❤
If you live in "da 'D' " and someone asks you to "ballroom" you're all over that floor. Definitely one of the best ballroom songs. If you don't know what I'm talking about ask someone from Detroit, Chicago, Philadelphia, Atlanta and Houston.
