    They were behind the magically gifted sound of the Five Heartbeats. A pure soul RnB trio. Good work

    I still listen to them everyday!! I cannot let got of the the 90’s music. Those Edmond men are so talented. I loved Melvin (rip)! Kelvon’s voice gives me goosebumps. I literally get so emotional every time I hear it. He’s definitely one of the Greatest singers of all time.

    They released another song off the Timeless album. It was called: too late & it featured their nephew David ( who sang lead). If anyone has watched the video, David is a younger version of his uncle Kevon.

    Big After 7 fan here. They had big success but still had untapped potential. I don't think the record label helped them very much. Virgin actually didn't have a good track record with R&B artists, at least from a longevity standpoint. And there was probably some ageism at play as well. I am a bit puzzled when you showed "Til You Do Me Right" hitting #5 on he R&B singles chart of 1995. Directly ahead of it was "Here We Go Again" by Portrait and "Rump Shaker" by Wreckx-N-Effect. Both of those singles were released and charted in 1992/1993, not 1995.
