Adding Johnny Gill in the group was a perfect choice. He definitely gave New Edition that mature sound during that 1987 and 1988 transition. He fitted right in with the them from the start.
New Edition is a extremely special musical group!I really appreciate their contrast of textures and combinations of talent expressing quality wholesome music! I would really love to hear all the Jam & Lewis produced songs with the group, their excellence really shines.
I have this whole video of New Edition on VHS and it's my favorite to watch with them singing, and I do like all the videos. My grandmother had this on VHS and we watched it a couple of times, and it became my favorite. And she also gave me this whole video of New Edition on VHS, realizing that it's my favorite more than hers. And New Edition also became my favorite singing group. The only video without Bobby Brown is from this Past And Present video collection is "Count Me Out", and that was when Bobby Brown had left the group and went solo. But it's still a good video to watch with the other 4 members singing and performing to the song. And another video that I like and that's my favorite from the Past And Present video collection is "If It Isn't Love", and that's the very first video with New Edition singing.
