- New Edition performs Boys To Men Live
From the video "New Edition - Past and Present"
Side Note:
While it is true Johnny didn't particularly like this song.. It is not true that he tried to screw it up... The phrase I'm going to 'F' something up can be used in a positive or negative way.. Johnny was quoted as saying. I'm going to 'F' this song up.. Lots of people pay attention to that part of what he said, and come to the conclusion that he screwed the song up.. (Negative way).. However if you read the rest of the quote.. "Whatever song you put in front of me I'm going to sing the shit out of it". It is clear that the "I'm going to 'F' this song up.. Was meant positively...
This song saved my life back in 1988. I honestly thought of giving up. And I heard this song and it was if Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis had read my mind. I also was trying to make the transition from a boy to a man. And with no father to guide me, I felt so lost. My friend loaned me the Heartbreak cassette. And I would play this song over and over and cry every time. And Johnny's performance touched my very soul!! Everytime he would say "Just hold on" I told myself that I will. And I did. Some 25 years later, I am here with a son of my own that I can help and guide through that transition.
spyderj God Bless!!!
that's so beautiful brutha.....it was just a magical time for music and i'm glad i was old enough to appreciate it. JG is my all time fave male vocalist and i met him once but have seen him perform twice.
. I went to this concert in 88 when he sung this song
Craig A Cook oh wow! I know it was lit!!
NellyBelle yes. JG had the audience in a trance
What's funny is that Johnny hated this song, didn't even want to record it. He tried to "mess up" while recording it & it still is one of the best songs on the album lol
Really? Wow, I want hear more! I hope their story is told authentically 🖐🖑
Mr. Speaker FACTS HE SAID THAT HE RETALIATORY AGAINST JIMMY JAM AND TERRY CAUSE HE FELT THE MATERIAL THEY GAVE HIM WAS BENEATH HIM.
In the Lifetime movie, Ralph seemed not into it as much. Johnny looked into it.
Yep. He hated the song and it's one of the best cuts on there.
@@Speedyreedy1218First of all, it was a BET movie. Secondly, they give Johnny the lead on this song to introduce him to NE's fans.
Man...the best move New Edition ever made was to put Johnny Gill in the group.
NkrumahTure thanks to Mike biv
YESSSS!
Now JG is screwing the group good 😉
Andrew Staples everything mike bob did for ne was the best for the group
Actually it's a bad move. He's no help singing lead.
I died when Johnny ran his ass up those stairs. His vibrato and ad libs are EVERYTHING.
That's the best part
Naturally Unbothered We had the N.E Heartbreak movie and this was my favorite part.
Naturally Unbothered 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
What’s a vibrato technique?
My ass died too 😅👌🏾
I was at this concert many years ago. I commented many times. Now Both of my parents are gone. I'm in my middle 50's. The pain of losing them both really still help me understand this song. I loved it it my 20 but in my 50's, I'm a woman and still comprehending and changing everyday . It's Hard sometimes. I have a child and grandkids but you go back to your own parents wishing that You had their Comfort and Hugs. Means more than All the money in the world. Thing that change Girls to Women ❤. Wether we like it or not, we all have to grow up. But keep enjoying the great memories ❤😘
This is the song that made the NE Heartbreak album in my opinion. Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis wrote and produced the hell out of this album.
Jam and Lew added the Chilli Sauce
weren't they the ones that also use to work for prince?
Khalil Byrd Correct. They were in the group - The Time.
For this song, Johnny saw it sounded like an average ballad but he made it epic by himself by him singing it.
Ezekiel Major sorry it was if it isn't 💘 and can u stand the ☔
Johnny is probably the most underrated singer ever
I agree.
Brian McKnight is too
Aquarius Russell yes and Ralph
Joe Thomas too
Aquarius Russell just 30 minutes from Washington d.c.
You can always tell a singer is going to slay when he or she carries around a sweat rag lol... for example Whitney, Johnny, etc.😍
JO JO (Jodeci)
Luther
Joy King James Brown
Ms Franklin could really sing tevin Campbell that young Man can blow Charlie Wilson we had real Music Love Music it still sounds so good going hm From Wk put Some on it very relaxing my son is grown and Iam enjoying knowing i did my job so Life is good the Music From the 80s just fine
Ms a howard From dallas. Tx just good Music 70s 80s good House partys we didnt have leave and go far bring own drink byod oh y could walk hm from.party the guys new u were From tere Hood so yes 70.80s dallas.tx
The late great Barry White had one as well .
And to think....this was the song that Johnny hated at first because he wanted a love ballad by himself
so out of frustration in feeling that he already paid his dues singing mostly back-up on the album the way Jam & Lewis asked him to in respect for the usual N.E set up where Ralph & Ricky sings the majority of leads, he went in to the vocal booth with the true intention of in his own words "singing the fuck out of this song....somebody's gonna respect me for what I do"...the vocal that we hear on the studio version was done in one take
The result: It was never released as a single....BUT IT WAS AND STILL IS ONE OF THE MOST POPULAR SONGS ON THE ALBUM & JOHNNY HAS DONE IT ON EVERY TOUR AND BRINGS THE HOUSE DOWN
Later on, Johnny said he realized why Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis chose him to sing the song....It was to cement what JG's place was in the group which was the vocal maturity sound that N.E needed to break out of the bubblegum R&B shit that the record label was trying to keep them on while in return, N.E gave Johnny Gill the street cred and the visibility he never got with his first 2 albums during the Stacy Lattisaw era for having such a powerful voice....but it wasn't easy...Ricky Bell said it took them close to 7-8 months for them to teach Johnny how to dance LOL
lawrence worrell Thanks so much for schooling me on this subject. Lifelong fan and still learning things about our guys. I have always loved this song. Never understood even back thenvwhy it was never released as a single.
I recall JG saying he was originally upset abt the song but then later saw the impact it had. Even the group Boys 2 Men named their group after this song.
Big ups on that not to many ppl no that and the fact they left that part of the movie along with other stuf
Hehehe, I can imagine how difficult it must have been to get JG to dance but boy can he sing!!!
Actually, he wasn’t upset because he wanted a ballad of his own. He was upset because it WAS a ballad. He wanted a solo with bump to it. He explained he was pissed because he was tired of everyone thinking he was just a ballad singer. He wanted just one kind of song like ralph was singing. He didn’t want a slow song at all.
Vintage Johnny Gill. One of the best natural voices.
agreed
MarQos MarQos dmv
The Best
You can tell at 4:28 Ronnie,Ralph,Ricky, and Mike was like "finally done for the night" then Johnny broke out into a 3 minute solo and they had to make up a routine and keep it going. It was worth it though. Johnny gives you your money's worth.
New Edition adding Johnny Gill was like the Golden State Warriors adding Kevin Durant in 2016.
FACTS
🤣🤣🤣🤣
So True😅
Great analogy
Facts Lol And I just discovered Johnny Gill and never knew he was in New Edition
This song saved there career, and alot of lives, my favorite New Edition song 🔥🔥🔥
Bro! That dance sequence from 1:04-1:28 was everything! Then when they continued through 1:38 shows why those boys have to go down as one of the baddest male groups ever.
Modern day temptations!!!
NE was one of the first concerts I was allowed to go see
justincredible214 7:06 till the end too
justincredible214 factz!
Dwight Carter yep!
Johnny Gill has one of the most explosive voices in the business!!
Johnny Gill took new edition to another level
Whom ever on that Flute is killing it!! Add in JG this is fire 🔥!!
No lie
The way Johnny was performing on the stage, I thought he was catching the holy ghost
😂😂😂
Johnny song the hell out of that song.Boys to men great singer
Cordairia Gatlin he probably did 😂😂😂😂 i love him
It's the calling that God has on His life. It comes through every time.
This boy be showin' out, like damn!
What a power singer that Johnny Gill is
He is the best - and still touring - check him out
That awkward moment when Johnny Gill turns into Pastor Gill and turns a New Edition concert into a Sunday church service 😂😂😂😂😂!
SynClaiR his dad was a pastor
SynClaiR West lmaooo
He probably was meant to be a preacher!!!
That anointed moment when GOD'S SPIRIT takes over a "secular" concert through a Christian singer/musician!
That's funny, however this isn't a gospel song. Johnny pop might've been a pastor. It doesn't have anything to do with N.E. as a whole or any song by them. Why you think Niggas aint singing gospel music. They might have a belief in a higher power. However, they don't try to shove pseudo riligitard illogic down peoples ear canals like y'all human viruses, frontin like y'all holier than thou, talking / typing non-sensical jibberish like: "he's blessed by the Holy spirit, anointed by the secular most high God-Damn Jesseus drinking juice with virgin Mary's ghost with the Holy Trinity.... Blah Blah Blah Blah! Um, hello, last I checked, this video says NEW EDITION, not kirk fake'n! Wake up to reality. When you die, there's nothing, so FUCK all y'all brainwashed religi-tard sheeple!!!! 🐑🐂💩🗑
this song is a classic example of how these record labels control and manipulate artist's careers, this song was never released as a single but became one of the most loved songs on the album
Johnny Gill is awesome and hardly anyone can touch that GOD given voice. I wish I could sing like that. Truly amazing to listen to.
@david coleman i do a decent impression of him. Im a huge fan also.. lol
"Johnny 's vocals are unique for sure !"
This song was a game changer. Being around the same age as these talented brothas, this was THE anthem to start getting my sh#t together and try to make mom proud. THANK YOU to New Edition for greatly contributing to the best R&B/Pop decade EVER!!!!
Mike Berry And to think they were only 18, 19, and 20 years old here.
This song will go down in history as one of the best and it makes me think of my cousins and I when we were young and now growing up as young men
I always love this song
The Greatest Group of All Time. Period. Bar none. Everyone went solo and came back. It's not the individuals, it's the GROUP!
This might be too perfect to pull off in a movie. This is just so damn amazing. I love the little bounce the fellas do while Johnny does his thing and then the beat drops and they all dance together.
Marley Mal their pulled it off!!!!
Carmella Breedlove They really did tho!!! I was hoping they would do this scene too, that would've been crazzy lol!
Their choreography is RIDICULOUS!!!
spyderj ridiculous
I DONE THAT ROUTINE 2 THAT SONG BOYS 2 MEN --THE LADIES CANT RESIST
Real dance coordination 😊
Right they are the truth
They had the best choreography point blank period 💯
Lol, at Johnny serenading the crowd, with a song about New Edition maturing into men.
Johnny is the truth.
Marley Mal
Gul, that's Bible 😊😊😊
Ralphs background 1st tenor is nostalgic...
OMG Is it!! I often say, his b ground vocals are just as good if not better then his lead vocals. I love his b ground sound.
I agree😊
All parents should play this song often to their children, irregardless of their sex!! Very thought-provoking & makes you rethink-review your life!!
I do it! They know it lyric by lyric! 💯👌🏾
I do it as well. My uncle played it for me and I play it for my son. Spans 35 years between 3 different generations.
"YES THEY SHOULD !"
As a young kid I always wanted to be Ronnie DeVoe when me and my cousin Kevin (R.I.P KING) would sing New Edition songs....Them was the good days back then.....
weren't they though?!
JG - saved this group for real - wish they would bury the differences and come back together for one more album
Sad to hear him say that he never felt like he was a part of the group.
Johnny with that "careeeeee-ear-a-ear-a-earrrrr"(0:54) rofl.
Omg 😂😂😂
FireMadeFlesh II lol
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂💛🤗😅😅😅😅😅
It's too early for that today!!!! Can't wait for yhe mini series
Rj Osler HELL YEAH
FireMadeFlesh II 😂😂😂😂😂 he be killing them rolls.
Every time I hear Johnny sing this, I'm thinking I'm at Church about to take up a collection/offering.
Quanezia McGaughey LOL
Quanezia McGaughey 😂😂😂
Quanezia McGaughey 😂😂😂
It's not a true Johnny Gill performance unless he goes into preacher mode at least once
KidDynamite40 Amen!😄
Drops Mic 🙌🙌🙌🙌
Facts 😂😂
😫🤣
Yep...Yep...U...Betta...Believe...It...One Love Fam...
Johnny Went n At 6:37 "When Somebody Loves Yyyyyyyooooooooooooooooooouuuuuuuuuuuuuuu" LMFAO
Johnny is from that church up bringing his dad was a preacher so that's why u hear him screaming sounds just like a old school preacher AKA Teddy Pendergrass
Amen JG & NE need to wake us up unlike these whack ass performers today....
***** I luv N.E. wish they would make another album with some of the best producers like Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis again L.A. and BabyFace ext.
This is when singing was REAL. Great Job Johnny, the world will never get THESE DAYS BACK.
THANK GOD WE HAVE OUR 50'S 60'S 70'S 80'S GENERATION AND THESE MEDIA AUDIO DIGITAL OUTLETS 2 NJOY THESE GREAT EVENTS AND MEMORIES
Johnny sounded just like Teddy Pendergrass toward the end. Just preaching away!!!!
+Lawrence Dumas You know he's a church boy right?
"Johnny took us there & we ❤ it !"
I remember this I was at this concert. New Edition was on tour with Guy, Keith Sweat, it was the bomb... I enjoy it and the ticket wasn't nothing but, $33.00
This was filmed in Baton Rouge in 1989 or 90. Bobby Brown and AL B. Sure was there also.
I went to the show in New Orleans, La.... and I was at the taping of this concert in BTR, LA. the fellows were off the chain in there performance......this was the city where the NE HEARTBREAK tour had it rehearsals... i heard the fellows where in town that year in 88, before they kicked of that tour...... they kept it hush hush..... announced at the end of the show, that they where in town....
I was there too. I remember how quiet it was because no knew Johnny could blow like that. Couple of months later Bobby recorded Roni in Btr, another awesome show.
Oh Lord, I was at this show as well. I remember it like it was yesterday. Whoa, I didn't know about the taping and rehearsals. I had a lot of fun at the concert. 💃🏽
These brothers were bbaadd!!!!new generation of the Temps...never get tired of listening to this type of music..New Edition forever!!!!
The white towel was the sign. He said I am about to light this stage up. Johnny has been singing since a little bitty boy. Can we stan for New Edition and their steps and notes. These guys are the top notch professionals. They deserve every dollar they have earned. God bless New Edition.
Just watched UNSUNG on JG for like da 3rd time!!! Hands Down JG murdered this cut!! Dig how the fellas kept dancing in the background !! True 80s group!!
I watched a second tims to focus on the choreography.
this is the best version of this song Johnny did his thang
I second that emotion
Brook payne!!! Choreography!!!😎🙌🏿🔥🔥🔥🕺🏿
Man he had them boys dances on fire
This guys were the epitome of showmanship..!
WERE BACK THEN AND STILL IZZZZZZZZZZZZ
Always have been , agree 💯% !
@@dolly24242 their performance of Kind of Girl on Soul Train is a gem. I know that the the lyrics were lip synced but the dancing was top notch.
this song is LIFE'S ANTHEM...PLEASE LISTEN TO THE WORDS FOLKS...I GET GOOSEBUMPS STILL TO THIS DAY WHEN I LISTEN TO THIS SONG...OMG
One of the best favorite artists groups in history ❤❤❤
The South East crooner Johnny Gill made DC so proud
Yes he did. DC represented. I'm loving how he killed it for my city
Can you imagine dudes in their early 20s at 22 & younger singing like this to a teenage audience? Sounding so damn grown like a 30 to 40 year older, must have turn them chicks out in the audience
Search Johnny Gill's "Half Crazy" he sounded 35 at age 15.
Raw House LLC I love that song...💖💖
I was just thinking this the past few days! Dude in his early 20s singing like a grown ass man!
@@devanteashley8716 Exactly, nowhere to be found today, at least not in the mainstream. Singers now want to sing rap if they even sing at all without voice modifications.
@@WhatAboutall yeah it sucks man and I was only born in 95. Would be nice to see R&B pushed back to the mainstream but I don’t think it ever will unfortunately. Luckily we have the internet to go back and listen to this beautiful music!
I was fortunate enough to see the Heartbreak Tour at Madison Square Garden and experienced this live. It was a spiritual experience. I was sobbing uncontrollably during this performance because I felt this in my soul.
Me too
Johnny always kills it. He is so underrate.
Remember going to one of the concerts when Johnny first sang this, OMG!-No wonder Boys II Men were inspired. His voice brought the group from "Teenagers to Men"(my opinion).Everyone was in Awe! But Ive been a fan of his since"Half Crazy" and Stacy Lattisaw deuts ! (Shout out to Stacy)!Johnny might not get the recognition but he has Luther status. REAL RNB SINGER!!!
meant to say duets
He has that Luther soul and similar voice
Johnny Gill is a vocal beast, but Boyz II Men were inspired by gospel groups Take 6 and Commissioned. Michael Bivens named them Boyz II Men after this song
Mike Bivins named them Boyz II Men because they sang "Boys to Men" for their audition with him. They were inspired by all of the groups mentioned!
I been trying to think about that song Half Crazy.. He was young too. I was like DAMN!!! THIS GUY BEEN BAD !!
best thing NE did was add Johnny Gill, Love NE
And work with Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis.
The way he ran up those stairs though 😂😂😂
Somebody should make that a GIF
Yasss for that salute to Freddie Jackson. "Have you ever love somebody? Can you learn to love somebody?"
Still have the VHS tape!!! Yessir, I go waaaaay back, to 83'.
man I had it..and let it go..and been looking for it:)
Churchhhhh!
pickzkickz
I love them like my own family and brothers
I swear Johnny Gill has to be one of the most underrated singers ever 💯.
Johnny Gill can growl at me any time. love him!
me too, amen!
Alexis Hudson Yeses yes girl
Doreatha Cannon
Alexis Hudson Hunny yesss! Anytime lol
If music still had this caliber of vocals and rhythm, much of the madness that takes place stemming from the entertainment industry would not exist as musicians would focus on creative singing and rhythm delivery rather than slinging verbal abuse at ‘themselves’ (as in the end that is who they degrade by so doing) all over the place. Yes Johnny showed he had the finesse of TP on this song and nailed it. But what is so sad is that the likes of Johnny (and a few others such as KC from Jodeci despite caving in to all the temptation/destruction of self that come with the entertainment world) have never ever been given their due credit by the very industry that encouraged many of them to bleed to death.
Finally, Thanks to everyone out there who has managed to keep the memories and emotions captured by the vocal and rhythmic powers of songs delivered to perfection such as this. That said many thanks Johnny (and also to all the others known and obscure, such as Mind-Heart and Soul, U.N.V, Real Seduction, A Few Good Men, Marvin Gaye, Harold Melvin & Bluenotes, TP, Caron Wheeler, R.Kelly, Joe, Jagged Edge, Aaliyah, Gladys Knight etc. just too many to name) for taking music to another level never to be captured again as we shall probably never witness such class of enchanting music and vocal finesse again.
May Inner Peace Be With You All
Johnny Gill god damn he did this I cry everytime I play this song and I am a woman but it was hard for me to become a woman from a girl and Johnny helped me
+Channae Thomas . I feel the same way. I had it hard growing up and it make cry too.
+Wanda Coleman This song still speaks for me now I have rough patches here and there and this song get me through
I still going through things but, like the song say growing with people depending on you is hard.
Channae Thomas This song saved my life in '88. I myself was making that transition from a boy to a man then.
@@spyderj3756 Sorry for the late response but we all still going thru growing pains as adults but guess what we will make it with the strength of god and wisdom this song speaks for me in so many ways when I loss my mom in 2016 I had to pick up the pieces and continue with life and this is one song that helped me..
Johnny used to lose his damn mind on stage. I love it, true performer
Johnny & Fantasia gone always take it to church ! Period
This bought back so many memories, this was my first concert. N.E, Bobby Brown, and Al B. Sure!
This was my first concert too, February 1989
Yep it was the year of 89' I just don't remember the month tho'
I couldn't even talk when I went to the concert I had just got my tonsils out, a couple days before and my mom surprise me with the tickets. My sister took me she's the oldest that's how I feel in love with N.E. because of her...
Fatema Aries i been to the same concert tour in nyc was awsome show as always
Al Holmes Mine was in West Palm Beach
It's crazy bc Johnny Gill said he didn't like this song at first! But this was one of the main hits on NE Heartbreak album
Fav NE song..its so soulful..and the words are powerful!
Who's still watching this in 2021 ??. 👑👑👑👑
2024 ❤
2024 ❤🔥🔥
2024
Johnny did his thang on this song and I love when he takes off and runs up those stairs. Get it Johnny
me too wow!
stop yelling at me johnny...😞 na but foreal his voice gives me the chills
Great performance!! Johnny said I'm getting my shine tonight even if it's only on a song or two! lol
this song would definitely go on the soundtrack to my life.
Amen 2 that
How soon, we forget..... I love NE but truth be told they was dead in the water, until JG came into the group, after Bobby, the little boy band was done, It was time to man up and JG came through with that Grown man thing he got going on hey better thank God for him!!! He is underrated one of the few that can still get on stage Sang!!! Turn it out. I love it......
amen!
NE was not dead in the water you give Johnny to much credit NE would have still made it because of Jimmy
Jam and Terry Lewis. NE was transitioning from "Boys to men" when they did songs like Helplessly in love
and Once in a lifetime groove which had a more adult sound the album that was done before Heartbreak
was the doo-wop album that still went gold. Bobby's first album King of stage went nowhere it wasn't until
he hooked up with Babyface and Teddy Riley and borrowed from Ralph is when he became a megastar.
Who was Johnny Gill before New Edition nobody. People forget that New Edition was out when you had
megastars like Michael, Whitney, Lionel Ritchie, Prince black artists who was getting mainstream exposure
and the most exposure with main black publications. New Edition did the most with whatever minimum exposure they got and still was going gold and platinum.
Heartbreak album is still marjority Ralph with small contributions and ad-libs from Johnny, truth be told if the producers and Mike had more confidence in Ricky Johnny wouldn't have been needed.
Ms.Shantel not true
754012ab No they werent. They just kep picking kiddie pop songs. Jam & Terry were the right vehicle. And Ricky or Ralph would've given excellent versions of Boy to Men, minus all that preachy screaming growly crap. I've never cared for that showy part of JG, especially now that he overdoes it in concert. His pure singing is beautiful though.
Dude is the best male vocalist still right now. Name me one better? I'll wait...
Man Johnny song the hell out this song...GOAT go Johnny put that soul in you whew chile still bumping in 2020
Still hot in 2022!!🔥🔥
Dang, Johnny was about to have a fit. YES! Back when brothas would get on stage and tear it up. Remember when this type of music was popular? He tried to hit that little Luther woo-woo thing at 6:38 and missed it. Sorry, boo.
I really wish someone would put old school concerts like this one on dvd. This was one of the best concerts that I went to back in 1988. New Edition, Bobby Brown, and Al B Sure.
I saw that concert in Macon, Ga. That concert was was straight-up heavenly!
Damn this performance has me speechless. Life is really not fair.
johnny gill took NE to the next level
Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis took NE to the next level, other then boys to men, can you stand the rain and some riffs what did Johnny really do. Johnny's voice complements Ralph's voice and most of the Heartbreak album is still Ralph. Johnny was nobody when he got to NE remember.
@@Sheisintrovertlibra he had 1 or 2 good songs
@@Sheisintrovertlibra : You can tell you don’t know anything that you are talking about. I live through that timeframe. Johnny Gill had songs with Stacey Lattisaw and a solo career before New Edition. Joining the group gave Johnny the opportunity to work with producers like Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis. And if he was a nobody.....then why his solo career with New Edition was still tipping the charts? Speaking nonsense....
@@dman221 I did too and Johnny was a fake Luther Vandross. I love Johnny Gill but the reality is before he joined NE he was a nobody riding the wave of being a friend to Stacey Lattisaw. Stacey was the star at that time that is a fact, you need to stick to "Facts"
@@Sheisintrovertlibra : Really...okay...riding the coattail of Stacey Lattisaw. LOL!!! Where is Stacey since the early 80’s? Johnny was winning awards in the early 90’s with his solo career alone. You must was asleep during that timeframe. And paying homage to Luther Vandross is not trying to be him. There only one Luther.....
Choreography is off de chain !!
This song would've been a hit for any group! Jackson5, ABC, Troop, Boys II Men, BBD, Hi 5, Five Star, DeBarge, The Sylvers, Club Nouveau, Blackstreet, Altantic Star, Nsync, Backstreet. The real credit goes to the hitmakers Jam & Terry!
Mmmm I think this song was perfectly made for them I can see anyone you named singing this better than Johnny Gill himself. The delivery of the song wouldn’t have been the same! Let’s be honest!
Naw nobody in those groups had the deep range in their voice like JG how he could go high and low the medium he was every voice in 1 on this record
Not Even Me And Everybody Calls Me The Westcoast Johnny Gill He's Definitely A Dear Bro And Vocal Teacher Of Mine...Fam Fa'Life One Love Fa'Sho.
No, this song fit NE perfectly because it described their journey, trials, tribulations and it sums up their careers. JJ and TL knew exactly what they were doing when this was written/produced for NE!! JG's voice is perfection on this song!!
So if they only had the show "THE VOICE" back then.. Johnny would have killed it.. These days were priceless.. Like I said before I hate being 40 but then again if I was 20, I would have missed these days.. So ill just embrace 40 LOL
Lol I'm 25 and all I listen to is NE, BBD, baby face, Luther etc. my dad had us listening to it back when I was younger and now my 2 year old son. He LOVES new edition.
Johnny Gill did that 👍
The Legendary New Edition!!!!!
chilling and listening to music from my Era and enjoying it. can't wait for the mini series. NEW Edition for Life
I was at the 88 show in Detroit, the famous Joe Louis arena. They turned it out like only N E can do it!
This song just motivates me to keep on going! I lost my father year, he was all i had.. And it hurts everyday same as it did the first day he passed. I’m only 26, i have two kids whom share the same bday 5 years apart. But my life has been a wreck these past few years. Losing my dad just killed apart of me. Plenty of times i wanted to just quit. But i can’t. I’m currently homeless, living in my car in South Carolina. This week I’m flying to chicago to live there and try to get my life back on track. My brother whom i just met a few years ago is going to help me. I’m kinda scared about this next chapter of my life. Cuz everytime I’ve tried I’ve been getting knocked back down. But like the song says.. keep on going.. that’s what ima do. Thanks NE ❤️💯🙏🏾
Hold on it will get better
Keep it up my friend. Don't ever give up💕
JW.org
I hope you’re in a better place in life. Seek the Lord Jesus.🙏🏾
New Edition the is the GOAT real talk Johnny Gill went hard in the paint on this track 90's R&B forever till the world blow
Dedicating this to my sons, Army Sgt. Ronald Hines, Jr.& Rashon Hines; thinking about all that they've gone thru growing up!! So proud of my young men; grew up to be responsible young men!! Love them!
im laughing too hard at him running back and forth jesus christ holy ghost!!!!
i haven't watched this in a while i am over here hollering too ! JG provides pure entertainment and makes u feel the holy spirit..
He can't help it
Everything happens for a reason. Johnny in NE like David Ruffin in the Temptations. No great group can be stopped especially a musically talented group. They're there for a reason a blessing through their music.
+kaydee Except Johnny's story doesn't have a tragic ending in the prime of his career.
Somebody needs to sample that flute starting at 4:30 - 4:40 into a hip hop beat. Tight
Avik Ghosh i agree
It’s George benson song “breezin”
The choreography that they do is tight
There is a preacher in JG somewhere! it shows!
Johnny took NE to the next level
Definitely! His voice is so unique
Commented over and over. Been a fan of this man since he was 12 and 13 years old- 😂😂I am the same age. He has Always had a "Grown Man's voice" trapped inside a child's body! Then he got with Stacey Lattisaw- These Two Exploded together. They reminded me of Marvin Gaye and Tammi sooo underrated- Up there with Luther. He took New Edition from Boys to Men. His voice- just spectacular!
I saw them do this in person. I pretty much cried the who time. Very energetic group.Johnny Gill takes it to another level.
Killing It !!!! 2022 💯🔥🔥🔥🔥
Look At The Choreography Y'all These Brothers Have Always Put in Work !💯
Look at that choreography, amazin!!!!!!!!!!!!!
