Johnny Kemp - Just Got Paid (Official Music Video) 

My son got his first paycheck today at the age of 14 . He is working with Summer Youth here in NYC. I played this song for him this morning as I watch him check his acct for his money . With the biggest grin on his face he danced to this song. I’m so happy for my baby 🥺

Who's listening to this in 2024!!😎

Who's still bumping to classic jam 2024?

I was 23 years old . Married and gave birth to a beautiful baby boy❤❤❤when this song hit the airwaves. I’m 57 and still dancing to this classic💋 RIP Johnny Kemp we love you now and forever❤

If they dropped this on radio today, 2023, without an intro, most people would think it was new. They’d never believe how old this is. It would track still.

This is real music

THIS SHOULD BE PLAYED ON EVERY RADIO STATION EVERY FRIDAY AT 5:00PM!

R.I.H Johnny Kemp. ❤❤❤this cut. Not ashamed to say born in '75 & brought up in the '80's. Still 🎧, head bobbing & 💃 in June 2024!

I'm 43 now my dad use to play this shit all the time when I was a kid now guess who's jamming to it now thanks pops

This song is a true classic. Every payday this song pops up in my head. Rest In Peace Johnny Kemp. Thank you for this payday/stimulus check theme song.

This was my moms favorite song even if she didn't get paid on Fridays. RIP momma I would give anything to see you brake it down to this song again. 6/30/21: First I need to sincerely apologize to those that have sent out prayers and love to my mother and have received no reply. (Trying not to cry right now ) From thug pizzle to Tracey Trunn nothing that I type next will ever convey my deepest and sincere feeling of how I feel when I see that someone took time out of their lives to show love to a woman that they never met. After some time reading the comments something click and I realized that I lost the one person in my world that I could trust. And not taking the time out to mourn the lost it all came down on me way to fast for me to handle. Depression is something that I'm learning not to take lightly and to have patience dealing with it. Again I am sorry for the no reply but will try my best now that I've taken some time to actually say goodbye to my mother. She always taught use to be grateful when someone goes out of their way for you. Thank you all for ever word that you've sent.

He choreographed all the moves himself

R.I.P. Johnny. jam on in heaven!!

I just watched an interview with Teddy Riley. He's said Keith Sweat is really gutted he didn't get this track for his album. As much as I love Sweat, Kemp's vocal range on this track is what made this track for Kemp. Love this track

This is my mom's favorite song Good memories RIP mom

This song never gets old. Thank you Johnny Kemp for this masterpiece. RIP ❤

It's So Sad What Happened To Him! This Song Will FOREVER Be A Payday and Fun Night Out On The Town Classic! 🥰🔥🥰🔥🥰🔥🥰🔥🥰🔥 Rest Peacefully, Johnny K. 🙏🏾🌹🕊️✨

New Jack Swing Gem!

Payday Anthem. Always! This songs never gets old!

This song was being played on the radio station especially on Friday especially when people just getting off from work and have just got paid. I love this song by Johnny Kemp Just Got Paid!!!

MAN!! This is the friday night anthem!! Especially for the hard working low/middle class people just trying to live and take care of their family. The 80s were the BEST!!!!! REAL PARTIES!! Fun,dancing, music and later on crashing with some big haired sexy chick with a bunch of mascara😄

Who's still listening (and jamming) to this in 2019? 👇

I'm 62 years old still loving this song ❤

I'm 59 and every time I see this video it reminds me of all the great house parties back in the day and the sisters wearing black and the brother and sister wearing black and yellow I truly digging their dancing they ain't no joke

This song deserves 100 million viewers

LOVE & BASKETBALL

The 80's was down to earth and the music was real

This was my grandma's favorite song. I hope she's dancing in heaven with him, RIP

Oh yeah... an old anthem... and great time!

If you younger than 40 in January 2020 I'm here tell you.... *YES* .....you missed a bad ass party.

ONE of Teddy Riley's BEST JAMS.

Johnny Kemp left us all at an early age, but just got paid is still rocking.

RIP TO THE MAN WHO MADE MY FRIDAY NIGHTS, AFTER WORK, FULL OF GOOD TIMES ON THE DANCE FLOOR AT THE AFTER WORK CLUBS. RIP JOHNNY KEMP.

Rest in Peace brother. Thank you for blessing us with great music

The 70's, 80's, and 90's are some of the best music and sing along ballets ever. The reason why there are so many views and visitors nowadays, is because Generation X individuals like me, have given up on or are not interested with some of the music after the years of the 2000’s.

I was in my teens and twenties in the 80”s nothing compares to the way the vibe was back in the day ... good times !

sad that he died in 2015! he was only in his 50's. He had a great energy and vibe!

Didn't even know he passed away.. Grammy Winner for best R&B song in 1989... This jam got groove 🕺

This one song should put Mr. Kemp in the R&R HALL of Fame!!!...CLASSIC.

Life was soo cool in the 80's...

Teddy Riley producer extraordinaire & inventor of New Jack Swing in the house

Still jammin to it in 2019! 😂💕💃💃💃😎🎉

The best, coolest one hit wonder. I guess he decided not to sell his soul. Good for you. 32 million views you won brother.

The entire album is great, with a lot of smooth grooves, especially “one thing led to another” RIP Johnny Kemp

the 80's were fantastic.

This song still rocks 30 years later

80's & 90's magical decades!!

This is still an anthem almost 30 yrs later

Love his music. Rest in peace!

2018...and still jamming..class of 1989 forever!

Johnny Kemp is so underrated it's criminal! RIP Mr Kemp

Takes me back to the summer of 88, RIP Johnny Kemp. Awesome song

REMEMBERING JONATHAN "JOHNNY KEMP" (AUGUST 2, 1959 - APRIL 16, 2015) [08/02/2018]

What a groove! How can any one listen and not feel good or have their spirits lifted? One of the all time greats to get everyone out on the dance floor.

Its no joke with life...... as much as you may try to enjoy as much as your mind perceives. I saw this brother 2 weeks before his spritual homecoming. We talked for about an hour before the ladies let loose on him once they saw who it was! He enjoyed himself so much taking pictures with all of his fans , just having an old school blast! God bless him!

This was the anthem for us young professionals in the 80's after we got off of work Friday nights!!!!

I actually like this jam. Why can't music be so simple anymore?!

Feeling like this after getting 50 hours overtime at work and that paycheck looking good. JUST GOT PAID, IT'S FRIDAY NIGHT, PARTY HUNTIN, FEEL ALRIGHT. 🤑😁🤗

We need a club just for us Gen X'ers still working and getting paid on Fridays. The club just needs good ol' 80s music. Maybe some cardboard for anyone brave enough to break dance at our age. Lol.

One of the hottest songs of the 80's, and its still hot in 2019.

Old School is the best, Awesome 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟

Friday night fish fry's at my family's house. old heads playing spades, drinking weidemann beer and smoking tops joints. Man being a kid during all of that was the best ever. This song was played heavily, along with keith sweat merry go round album, freddie jackson, and hell all of the old jams. I miss those days sooooooo bad.

When we lost our Funk, we lost a huge area in our lives... gotta get it back!! Great tunes!! 👍

This track, along with Keith Sweat's 'I Want Her', are considered to be the first two songs of the Teddy Riley created 'New Jack Swing' R&B genre. #GreatMemories

Teddy Riley was a genius. RIP Johnny Kemp

RIP Johnny Kemp! Play this song and he would come up alive to dance to it! LOVE this song!

This song Definitely Defined one of the greatest decades of music:1980s

EVERY Friday since the 80’s, I sing this and do my little happy dance, especially if I just got PAID 🤑 2020 and it still ain’t old 💃🏼

F**k, I can't stop listening to this song and remembering Etika dancing on the streets like a mad lad. My heart hurts so much right now. I'll miss you forever, man...

I remember back in the 80s when my mother used to get paid on Fridays and she always blasted this song. She passed away 13 years ago but still to this day when I hear this song I think about her and I cried tears of joy because it takes me back to those days when she would be cooking dinner in the kitchen and snapping her fingers when the song played on the radio

This Will Never Get Old To Me.... It's 2023!!!

He may be a one-hit-wonder but everybody and their momma bumped this back in the day.

Literally never gets old❤❤ RIP

STILL rockin' this on Paydays 2019 and BEYOND !!! Lol

When the world was fun. RIP and thanks for the memories.

This and Montell Jordan's This Is How We Do It!! Man what a time what a time on Fridays'...

A mix of Synth pop and R&B will give you a No 10 hit in 1988.This song will continue to inspire other songs and kemp will inspire other artist for years to come.

I grew up to this song!!! It still bumps everywhere & everybody knows it!!👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

He had such a sweet smile

I come to this video every two weeks lol.
