- "Can't Stop" is a song performed by After 7, issued as the fourth single from the group's eponymous debut album. It is the group's highest-charting single, peaking at No. 6 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1990. The song became the group's second number-one R&B single, and peaked at No. 25 on the dance chart. "Can't Stop" was certified Gold by the RIAA on February 7, 1991.
Marvin Edmonds Sr. and Barbara Edmonds of Indianapolis, Indiana had six sons: Marvin Jr., Melvin, Michael, Kevon, Kenneth and Derek. According to Babyface, Melvin and Kevon were the two best singers in the musical family. The roots of After 7 trace to when Kevon met Keith Mitchell at Indiana University Bloomington in the late 1970s, where they were members of the Indiana University Soul Revue. Kevon and Keith decided to form a group as a hobby and add Melvin. For years Kevon worked at Eli Lilly and Co., Mitchell worked at John Hancock in Chicago and Melvin worked at Chrysler Corp. in Indianapolis. They would occasionally come together to perform in Indianapolis. Mitchell was long thought to be the cousin of Babyface's then-songwriting/production partner Antonio "L.A." Reid; however, this was set up as a marketing tool for the group and was incorrect.
By the late 1980s, the Edmonds' younger brother Babyface had built a successful career singing, writing and producing. He invited Melvin, Kevon and Keith out to Los Angeles, named them After 7, and got them a record deal with Virgin Records.
After 7 is an American R&B group founded in 1987 by brothers Melvin and Kevon Edmonds, and their friend Keith Mitchell. The Edmonds brothers are the older siblings of pop/R&B singer-songwriter and record producer Kenneth "Babyface" Edmonds, who named the group and helped them get a record deal with Virgin Records in 1988. After 7 released their platinum-selling[3] self-titled debut album in 1989, which spawned three singles "Heat of the Moment", "Ready or Not" and "Can't Stop". "Ready or Not" and "Can't Stop" were No. 1 R&B hits and top 10 hits on the Billboard Hot 100. Their second album Takin' My Time, released in 1992, also went platinum and contained the R&B hit medley "Baby, I'm for Real/Natural High". After 7's Gold-selling 1995 album Reflections was their last album before the group disbanded in 1997. The album included the R&B hit "'Til You Do Me Right. Years later the group resumed touring with Jason Edmonds, son of Melvin Edmonds, replacing his father. Melvin rejoined the group for their successful 2016 comeback album Timeless, which featured 3 adult R&B top 10 hits "Runnin' Out", "I Want You" and "Let Me Know".
Melvin Edmonds died on May 18, 2019, at the age of 65. Jason left the group shortly thereafter and Danny McClain was added.
Last night, I had the time of my life
It's true
Oh, last night, I made love for the very first time
With you
I never knew love could be so sweet
It never made a difference to me, well well
But ever since the day that you appeared
I'm telling you, you've made the difference now love is so clear
And I can't stop
(Can't stop)
How I feel
I'm diggin' on you
You diggin' on me
We diggin' on we
And oh, I can't stop
(Can't stop)
How I feel
I'm diggin' on you
You diggin' on me
Last night, you brought something special
Out of me, ooh wee
And for the first time, girl
You made my dream a reality, indeed
I never thought love was meant for me
I was blind and could not see, mmm well oh well
You bought about a love that's so sincere
And I'm telling you, you've made the difference now love is so sincere
And I can't stop
(Can't stop)
How I feel
I'm diggin' on you
You diggin' on me
We diggin' on we
And I can't stop
(Can't stop)
How I feel
I'm diggin' on you
You diggin' on me
I can't stop
I'm diggin' on you
You diggin' on me
We diggin' on we, girl
I can't stop
I'm diggin' on you
You diggin' on me
You've got me thinking that I need protection
'Cause your love is so strong, I don't wanna do wrong
Girl, your love seems like it's true protection
You just give me a call and I'll give you my all
I'm diggin' on you
You diggin' on me
We diggin' on we, girl
Can't stop
(Can't stop)
How I feel
I'm diggin' on you
You diggin' on me
Can't stop
(Can't stop)
How I feel
I'm diggin' on you
You diggin' on me
We diggin' on we, girl
Can't stop
(Can't stop)
How I feel
I'm diggin' on you
You diggin' on me
Can't stop
(Can't stop)
How I feel
I'm diggin' on you
You diggin' on me
We diggin' on we, girl
Can't stop
How I feel
Can't stop
How I feel
Can't stop
How I feel
You know I can't stop
How I feel
I'm diggin' on you
You diggin' on me
Can't stop
(Can't stop)
How I feel
I'm diggin' on you
You diggin' on me
We diggin' on we, girl
The dreamy intro. The arrangement of this track is blissful. The 80's sound was so beautiful.
Totally dreamy then the beat just flows🔥
The absolute best version of this song
+anissarj Yes it is.
I remember driving up Lake shore Drive listening to this version with the top down jamming out...... to WGCI !!!!! Doug Banks disc jockey!!!!
Absolutely!
The only version underground DJs would play in some places.
Yessssss !
I've been searching for this song for 25 years
me 2!!
dude this song brings me right back to the winter of 1989-1990
Bryan Lincoln, I'm glad you finally found it.
me, too!!!
Love this version
Lol me too. Well worth the wait
When this came out in 1989, I was living in southeast Washington, D.C. my neighbor played it full volume on a giant boom box. It could be heard a block away - loved it then, love it now. Great music !
Props to Washington DC also known as chocolate city in the day
Coldest remix of this.......period.
Charlesbjtown I agree
God I love THIS version of this song.
I remember driving up Lake shore Drive listening to this version with the top down....jamming out to WGCI !!!!
This version is much better than the original
Thank you for that.. I agree 💯 %!!!
The 80"s were indescribable for every genre of music.
Wrong 90s track got it on vinyl
@faceman718 Thank you for the correction as I found out it was recorded in 1989 but released in 1990. Regardless, what made the 80's unforgettable continued into the 90''s
Who's listening in 2023?,,
Been looking for this version for ages. Was always dissapointed with the radio versions that i had found . This is how it should sound !!!! Top marks poster
Any more information mad about tumes
I agree.. I am from NY and this is the version I heard on WBLS..
This is is 1996 remix
I know that
Yes I am in to music
I first heard this version on WBLS in NYC in 1989, while pregnant with my daughter and married to her dad Tony Jr.
Beautiful memories of that time and era...❤️❤️👣👣👣👣🎤👌🏾💯🎼
No doubt "The Rocker" Frankie Crocker was @ the turntable spinning this Classic. Great memories of good times which we'll never see again. R.I.P. Frankie Crocker.

The original version of this song is great, but this version is much better with its cutting edge production.
Thank you, Melvin Edmonds and After 7 for the music and the memories. Rest in Sweet Peace.
After 29 years, I finally found this remix. The upload is greatly appreciated.👍✌💯
Much prefer this version. It took 34 years for me
Summer of ‘90 visiting family in Chicago, I heard this version on WGCI and fell in love with it since.
RIP Melvin Edmonds

THIS WAS THE FIRST VERSION! BEEN LOOKING EVERYWHERE FOR THIS ONE!!
It’s actually insane that this isn’t officially available on streaming services, and available to purchase for download on places like iTunes and Amazon Music.
Easily the best version of this song, hands down. Take me back to my childhood in the early 90’s… please? 😢
Oh, this everything. I downloaded this on _Limewire_ (God forgive me) several years ago and I'm just not finding it again. I just love an extended, especially from this era. This kinda has that UK Blak sound. I love this song and this is indeed the best remix of it.
😁
Love love love this version take me back to the 80s best music 🎶💃🏽🔥

Eric Berghoff The funny thing is, the more "urban" stations at that time would play this. The one we had here in Louisville played it. Fell in love with it the first time I did hear it.
Eric Berghoff. They play this verse on the radio Minneapolis and Chicago. They video i dont like that verse
I used to hear it on the radio,here in Cali,all the time.I like this version,and the remix,personally
@@jenniferfields6173 Yeah Chicago WGCI 107.5 and Philadelphia definitely played this version at most.

I remember driving up Lake shore Drive listening to this version with the top down jamming out to......WGCI !!!!! Chicago's Doug Banks radio dj
They played this version in Cali when this came out too
Power 99 fm
It must have been because Jilly from Philly (Jill Scott) has a song that has interpolations of the instrumental in 2 of her songs throughout her career.
