--------
Johnny Gill discussed his journey to stardom that began in church at the age of just five. Growing up within a musical family, Gill was often pushed into the limelight by his older brothers and learned to play various instruments. Although he initially considered singing to be a universal skill, being part of the Baptist church, he was eventually called out for his unique talent. The family group 'Wings of Faith,' which he described as a local jam, evolved from another group, 'Gospel Stimulation,' involving his aunts, cousins, and grandmother. The turning point in his life came from a school friend, Stacy, who urged Gill to record a demo. Following that, he gave a telephonic audition to the president of Atlantic Records, with repeated performances to convince him. An invitation to New York soon followed, accelerating Gill's career in music.

Johnny Gil is the real deal, what a voice
Johnny brought the man voice that couldn't be denied to New Edition (NE). I remember looking at the radio when I first heard "Boys to Men" like😱 they definitely have found Bobby's replacement😂 1LUV to Stacey Lattisaw🎶❤️

JG--Bought depth to the group.@@charlescheeseborough298

Who all is Still waiting for a BBD biopic and separate biopic of Johnny Gill and Ralph Tresvant 👋🏾
Johnny gains weight then wen he gets ready to tour wit NE he drops it because of all the dancing they have to do
Johnny is in my top 5 singers, much love to JG from one Washingtonian to another.
Definitely up the with great male vocalists like Luther Vandross and Teddy Pendergrass etc;
Johnny Gill gon' tear a record up the only way he knows how. He's a singers singer.

This is the most vlad has ever let someone talk without cutting them off. New Vlad world record
I was amazed in 1983 when he sang When Something is Wrong With My Baby and he was a natural baritone. He could not have been more than 13 or 14 years old.
He was like 16/17.
K-Ci said his group would compete against Johnny Gill' s group back in the day.
Yep on rb money
Seems like they don't invest in real singers anymore like a Johnny Gill voice etc
Wow he got signed at 14 back in those days that's unheard of
Lady dujour,, let's spend the night,, I'm still waiting, quiet time to play, so much better, this man is my favorite singer
Giving my all to you is my favorite as well
Love Feels So Much Better is my sh*t!!
I'm still waiting. Can you stand the rain. All he has to do is sing a line in a song and you will never forget the song.
His Brother Randy Gill Can Sing too just like him! His Brother Randy I think Randy is older Middle Brother Anyways Randy Gill was on the Group called 2 D Extreme they're Debut Album was in 1994 my Favorite Song from His Brothers Group they do the Classic Remake up on the Roof original, Song by 1960's R&B group The Drifters! Yeah they do that Song justice anyways Mr Johnny Mr My My My!! 👌🏽🙏🏽❤️❤️
Look at you and your facts. II D Extreme hit was Cry no more...
(NE4LIFE)❤😊
11 the extreme 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
1993, actually. But yeah, thank you for speaking on Randy and my boys II D Extreme! Their cover version of The Gap Band's "Outstanding" was the shit too 🔥🔥🔥
So Basically Johnny Gill and his brothers was the first Lil Jon and The Eastside Boyz LOL 😂😂😂💀
Johnny Gil voice sound great by just doing an interview. He have a beautiful voice. My favorite song will always be perfect combination with Stacey Lattisaw. Great Interview with one of the finest professional soul singers in the music industry. ❤❤❤
Thank You Vlad for this interview!!!! JG is and will forever be one of the staples of R&B music!!! 🎵
That's a real legend. End of story.
Oh snap! Lmao. When I was like 4 or 5 I seriously thought everybody sings or can sing . Until I was by myself 1 day and was singing. And I was like naw! Since that day I've never thought i could sing, or even pretend that I could. Went solo. So low you can't hear me. Would lip sync in the choir. Just move my lips to the words.
Johnny's strong voice reminds me Otis Redding
Crazy vocals!❤
I don't understand why vlad gets all the hate for his content but people continue to still watch it doesn't make no sense 🤣🤣
great content, but as a person he's lame as fuck,, like to hold grudges too much
They love to hate that’s why
He has great guest just sometimes the interrupting and talking about himself so much gets a little annoying lol
Bobby Brown Johnny Gill snd Nino Brown gave me confidence as a dark skinned black male colorisim is real side note my mom was crazy bout Johnny Gill also I'm 44yrs old
My favorite Male R&B Singer...🔥🔥🎵🎵
Mine too.
@@v.v.6551 👍👍💯💯
Yeah he's my favorite male singer too!
@@shaggyajao5685I got his "Fairweather Friend" song on repeat...🎵🎵👍👍
Turn on the candle light and my my are my Johnny Gill favorite joints.
He's such a cutie patootie. I remember him looking really young and innocent but he had the singing voice of a grown man. It was uncannt. HALF CRAZY sounded like Luther Vandross sang it, not a 18 year old kid.
I can't stop grinning looking at this clip!!! I love me some JG!! 😍
JG vocals are 🔥
J.G. true legend his album in 1990 is one of the best r&b of all time. Every song is a hit.
One of the greatest male voices ever!!! Top 5
Why does he remind me of Little Richard in this interview? I have never seen him act like this…🫣
He gonna get johnny gill locked up for not wanting to sing can you stand the rain 😂😂😂
Lady Dujour is my favorite song followed by Rub you the right way. Also, how Vlad forget to mention LSG
Yep. And There You Go!
Johnny is the Truth. He's up there with Michael Jackson with the vocals cords. On another level. Matter fact I'm stream some of his music right now
💯
Great voice! Always loved his voice.
He was just in Toledo last night with Fantasia 👊🏽10-8-23
Johnny Gill is a legend but I always wonder why these famous people always wear sunglasses in their interviews when they are inside a building talking to others. And on a side note I have a you tube channel type in Russell Mills May 22, 2017 to find me.
I grew up in Southeast Washington DC off Minnesota & Pennsylvania Ave, Johnny and Stacy grew up not too far from my childhood home, my mom had a friend who lived off 33rd and Ely Place whom we used to visit often and I would see Stacy outside playing like a normal child, this was 1981 after she had top 40 songs, I sure I saw Johnny but probably didn’t know it at the time because he hadn't hit the scene yet, we’re proud of Johnny and his career
This is a real treat love me some Johnny Gill❤
People try to hate on Vlad but he do his thing! I don’t see how people call him a “culture vulture” with what he does for people of the culture. He’s restarted and helped more careers than most from the culture
A lot of stars was dark sunglasses inside and out. I just don't want to be stared at when you can't see somebody else's eyes can't really tell what you're thinking. Plus they always got those stage lights and and bright lights all the time. Hit them in the face I am a photographer and I do art work and working on video. I have glaucoma in it in one eye. I am 70 years old trying to save those eyes from radiation from the sun people say. Why are you always got your glasses on? Try to look cool. I just started wearing glasses about 5 years ago. If I didn't have to wear them I wouldn't wear them but I can't wear contacts. So hey everyone protect those eyes whenever you can. I have cataracts those lights. Don't feel too good when shining my eyes. Just trying to save them. Thank you for reading this.
JG got in shape too 💪🏿 💯 that's what's up.
He has not aged
Yeah great genes he has
Johnny killed that
Johnny Gill is still a smooth singer.
PK Preachers Kid
This is a good one Vlad. I am so glad someone talked with this legend. He is the reason we are hearing from NE he has helped a lot of people. I just want to hear his story and when he talked about manifesting I had a moment of clarity.
J.G. you' re a true r&b legend of this game to the day, shout-out to the entire NEW EDITION CLICK love ya lls music I'm an N.E. fan since day one, so 1 love!!
Johnny!!! ❤😊
What about me?
Those Black Baptist churches
I was raised in those
There were more collection plates floating around than people.
Vlad needs to INTERVIEW THE ENTIRE GROUP AS A WHOLE, can you imagine the numbers he would do with an interview of all 6 members together? That would be So Dope
VLAD 😂😂😂 you clapping like Aunt Janett
It’s crazy to me how some great powerhouse singers have flat, weak speaking voices.
Interesting, which others have soft speaking voices yet are vocal power houses ?
@@KatkayzMiche’le comes to mind. Her singing voice isn’t as strong as Gill’s, but her speaking voice sounds very weak, soft, and high pitched compared to the she performs with.
I thought the same. I was expecting a deeper and stronger voice. Maybe Gill is purposely speaking like this to preserve his vocal cords
Good to see him.....such a kind soul.
I remember when he came to South Africa, he called that concert "ONE NIGHT WITH JOHNNY GILL" Ohhh Man what a performance 👌👌👌👌👌👌he was wearing a red suit
That's crazy how he was that young and green and still never signed a bad deal like new edition did
I like how he’s telling the story about the guy smoking the cigar as if FaceTime was a thing 40 years ago😂
Still half crazy is my jam. 💯
🗣️ BETCHU AINT GON ASK EEM BOUT WUT SUGE SAID ABOUT EEM🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I grew up with Johnny Gill.However he's older than me.We also attended the same church.
Number 1 with me.
If you think everyone in a Baptist church can sing you’ve never been a church organist😊
If it was so great Why are all those Great artists broke💸💸💸💸
NE4life
JG is the man... Reflections album still goes in
Vlad is on fire...
Johnny Gill demeanor like Ray Charles forrealll

Half crazy is still one of my favorite songs to this day
We want to hear about Gerald Levert
Vlad like to say Okay before he ask a question 😅
Imagine If He Got Bobby On Here 😂
Look at that man’s coat…
The example 🗣️🗣️🗣️💯🐐
Lil Jon and the Wings of Faith?? Oh, not THAT Lil Jon!
PURE SOUL BORN WITH IT
Rest up to my great uncle Henry Allen.

Half of the people in this comment were conceived to this man music
Johnny and Ralph- Perferct 🎶 🔥
Best content on the internet.

Here First! Johnny is my MAM😅😅😅
Stacey Lattisaw lived around the corner from me in Fort Washington, Md. I would see her occasionally when I ride past her house.
Thank you VLAD. ❤
Vladimir's new range with his guests is much berter than listening to no name rappers glorifying a bunch of hood sh!t. Kudos
C'mon John --- what's up with the glasses!?
That is not a good look for any sit-down interview! Who are his handlers and where are his peeps!?
Here first
