I don't remember what I was talking about with my husband, sister, and nephew but whatever it was triggered the memory of this song and it has been stuck in my head off and on for well over 24 hours now but I don't mind. I mean, I've loved this song since I was a teenager in the 90s so 24 hours is merely a drop in the bucket. This is another great example of a song that will never get old and one I will never get tired of listening to.
90s r&b and the 90s era period was so much fun vibrant fresh endearing to kids and grown folks.....miss those times seriously...but you know what.......fresh music needs to come back.....why don't we petition for it......holla at me
This is one of the most fun music videos ever created. Pure. Focused on the video actors and actresses in romantic and playful environments rather than overglorifying the image of an artist. It's unique. Love it.
This song takes me back to 1993, when I was dating what I thought was the most beautiful girl on the island of Oahu. I will never forget the feelings of excitement, anxiety, joy, and sadness! We didn't work out but am thankful for the memories! Noelani Liana, forever in my heart!
@@Tornado1994 - LOL Yes. They were still playing this song on the radio well after its original release date on single. Keep in mind the After 7 album came out 1989. 🤓
Only white kid in the middle of Oklahoma who grooved with After 7, Baby Face, and New Edition, ya I was called names, but my soul captured so many with this soul in this music
All three of them was the fine nerds who ran affa the Frekadaweks but thought you were too intimidating for being a Miss Piggy Chick aggressive romantic. Now they old and see you're the one they pushed away.... 🤷🏾 I was friends with a LOT of them growing up. Now they ain't worthy💅🏾
This was in heavy rotation on the radio back in the summer of 1990. My bike was stolen from my front yard that summer. I never found it. Man, I wish I could go back and be 9 years old for a while. Now it back to work in 2016.
I went to see these guys play in summer of 1990 in Ontario Place in Toronto with my first girlfriend . When I hear this song it brings me back to an time with no responsibilities , carefree life, young love ect. Nice feel good song. They don't make music like they once did.
Unsung was depressing the things you go through in the music business. Baby face is the youngest and he is 57)Kevin and Melvin are older. Sad sad sad story. God bless them.
Gloria Nelson Lucky for Babyface tho... he has enjoyed Company Ownership with him and LA REID teaming up and Launching LaFace Records... So Babyface Knows What it’s like to run a Record Label and positioning himself to be a Label Executive so he couldn’t get fukd over by shady ppl of the Record Label Industry. So Face Looked Out for his Brothers After 7 and helped them achieve a record deal that’s what we supposed to do help one another especially siblings Good Lookn out Babyface... and Melvin Edmonds May your Soul Rest in Peace Thank You for years of Hits 🙏🏿 🎼 🎙
I know, hes always been better looking than babyface to me. I always thought he was younger. He should have been called babyface and babyface should have been called kenny or Kenneth Edmonds.
The day when music had class, sophisticated, great style and really talked, acted and believed in real love! Now days it’s mostly trash, sex with no regard for the heart and meaning, that it’s not solely about the body. It’s about the spirit and heart of the matter! Relationships meant something special back then. Today relationships are easy replaced with no guilt. Cheap love! Love this group! These brothas were doing their thang for real! Rip Melvin. REALLY GOOD SANGER!
3:32 RIP, Melvin. xoxo Such a beautiful tone of voice. I will always love After 7, and their bright smooth vocals. Keith is a wonder and Kevon has an amazing range that has awesome clarity and joy. Memories. xoxo
@@overtyme1 Yeah man I miss the gentlemanly days when Cameo was wearing neon cups over leather pants. The Weeknd wears something similar to these guys in like half his videos. This is just someone cherry picking something to make it seem like things were so much better back in the day.
I want to take a moment to also appreciate the natural beauty of the women in the video. No heavy makeup, crazy hair colors, no provocative clothing, etc. they were just themselves. I miss seeing this pop up on my tv back then and jamming out before school or hanging with friends on the weekend. The 90s were one for the books 💓
I always loved the beginning of this video. The acapella, the beauty of the young woman, natural , the laugh she gives at their pose , her staring into the camera innocently, intrusmental before kevon start singing
i was 10 years old when this came out and i still love this song. this song and video really captures the general vibe of urban/black music from back then. totally different from now.
This is really one of the catchiest songs ever made. It should've been even bigger than it was (and ended up one of those longstanding #1s on the charts)
recently this song came on in my job when i was in a bad mood and i literally just started smiling from ear to ear and my entire mood turned around . now it plays regularly and it makes my day every single day 🙌🏽
I always come to watch this and think how beautiful the people was in this video. I mean eveyone is beautiful. And its been 4 years already since Melvin passed. Rip to him 💛
This song takes me back to 8th/9th grade. When I play the version I have, the beginning has the sound of a crowded school hallway, with students talking and laughing. Takes me right back to those days, the dance steps, the hot girls we tried our best mack on, after football game dances, ect. The 90's were such fun.
Man this takes me back to some memories… Mercy, I was in elementary, but still had those memories driving through downtown Dallas with mom going to school. Miss it
Same here! This album time stamped my 5th grade year, 1st year of little league football and my mom and pops got divorced. Two out of three good memories. lol
Summer of 1990!!! I was home from college working my summer job at Bloomingdales(that discount kept me fly). This song used to go off at Skate Key. Much love from Harlem NYC ❤️❤️❤️
You mean smoother than his baby brother's voice? You do realize that two of the singers in After 7 are Babyface's big brothers (Kevon Edmonds and Melvin Edmonds).
One of the BEST male groups of that period and one of my favorite! Kevon's voice gives me chills! He could sing content from a physics textbook and I'd listen to it all. Loved AFTER 7.
I lived in southeast Washington DC in 1989 when this was released - my neighbors played it so loud on a boom box that you could hear it a block away. Loved it, still do !
i miss the non vevo vid, but anyway i remember people saying they hated the style of the video. but i LOVE the look of the vid. it's such a great snapshot of the early 90's when i was a kid. lol, I mean look at it. It's hardcore 90s
2020...whenever y'all get through Melvin Edmonds was the best singer out of his Brothers Kevon and Babyface as far as I am concerned. After 7 was underrated group period, they were good R.I.P. Brother Melvin Edmonds.
Still wonderful to hear. I am now 69 yrs old and this brings back such precious memories. Kevon....my renewed awesome, romantic singer .... 2022...no we aint't gone yet. Sing on my brothers! Rip Melvin.
I have been listening to After 7 since I was a teenager! I just so happen to be listening to “Can’t Stop”, when my 16 yr. old daughter asked who is “RIP Melvin”? The family has my deepest sympathy, I will always listen to After 7. They put out good music and expressed how women and men really felt about each other!!!
let me get off here before i start cryin. you always knew, where you were...who you were with.. where u lived at the time.. and who just died... sooooo many memories yall....so many.
Anyone else feel honored to have grown up with 80s and 90s music like this? Music from that time brings an instant smile to my face
I KNOW. Please bring the 1980s and 1990s.
Preach on my friend. Love this music
Totally Agree 100%! Graduated High School in 1984!
Yeh me and no shame about it by the way.
Most Def
No one can touch Kevon's vocals!
Period
NOBODY!!
Show can’t ❤
Another underrated jam.
This one stayed on the radio back in the day.
Not exactly. Can't Stop and Ready or Not were the two biggest crossover hits for the group.
I agree!
How? This was shiznit back in the day!! This song isn't underrated, only under appreciated by the younger generation!
It was never underated. It was actually highly rated and celebrated when released.
This song stayed on repeat for me...RIP Melvin
One of my all time favorites.
@@turninghurtintopurpose3770 He was one of the singers in this group... Babyface's brother
U know it lol
@stacieharris5640I was just thinking MAN that guy looks just like Babyface!
R.I.P. Brother Melvin Edmonds

1990s - The last great era of the Soul/R&B male group! I miss those days, but it sure is fun to come to TH-cam and reminisce.
Yes! You're right! BBD, Babyface, Jeffery Gill. So much great music!
Maria Darling , Johnny Gill. rub u the right way
Can't forget Jodeci!
90s r&b and the 90s era period was so much fun vibrant fresh endearing to kids and grown folks.....miss those times seriously...but you know what.......fresh music needs to come back.....why don't we petition for it......holla at me
I grew up then and I feel the same way as a musician.Music was so much better then and back.Raw singing and more musicians.
I feel like not enough props has been given to Kevon as a vocalist.
That is very true!!
Agreed
Yes!! His and Wanya's voices are 1A and 1B for me!!
Extremely underrated.
Absolutely!! He was completely underrated.

I haven't heard this song in over twenty yrs. It was one of my favorites.
this song never gets old... one of the best
I have always love this song
Kevons voice is out of this world.
RIP Melvin Edmonds, what great talent!
I'm 37 and still coming back to this music!! 🎶 I love it!!
I really cannot deal with how fine Kevon is.. I just can't.
Toi DeVaughn yeah those glasses 😘😂
I know, hes always been better looking than babyface to me. I always thought he was younger. He should have been called babyface and babyface should have been called kenny or Kenneth Edmonds.
Omg yasss!! AND he can sing. It was a wrap for me seeing him as a teen 😩❤️
He was fine fine and his voice 😫💙
All of them was nice looking
Why can’t anyone make music like this anymore? I saw After 7 live a few years ago.
I was born in 1968 and "After 7" is definitely musical talent. No so-called music produced today will ever become this good.
That acapella in the beginning always gets me. To boot, black women in the 90's 😘😘😍😍

The days when music artists dressed like gentlemen.
Indeed, today u will get laughed at for dressing that way even if u go to church like that you get laughed at
True dat, nothing says “gentleman” like throwing a green jacket over a black and white striped referee’s shirt.

I think the lead singer has the most incredibly amazing voice ever. It's so rich and smooth. I think it's even better than Baby Faces voice.
You mean smoother than his baby brother's voice?
You do realize that two of the singers in After 7 are Babyface's big brothers (Kevon Edmonds and Melvin Edmonds).

I haven't seen this music video in ages.
I remember seeing it in 1989.
I was 14 - 15 years old at the time.
Still bumping this 32 years later
One of the BEST male groups of that period and one of my favorite!
Kevon's voice gives me chills! He could sing content from a physics textbook and I'd listen to it all.
Loved AFTER 7.
2023 and still better than most music out now days 🙌👌
Kevon's voice is amazing! Love this song! Unsung brought me here!
Childhood memories. Our parents records, Video Vibrations and Video Soul molded us.
They seemed like themselves in this video. None of the gimmicky hairdos and outfits from their first album.
10 year old upload with only 1.5M views? Solid proof right there that this is a highly underrated song and probably mostly forgotten by now :(
I lived in southeast Washington DC in 1989 when this was released - my neighbors played it so loud on a boom box that you could hear it a block away. Loved it, still do !
