Johnny Gill is the reason early NEW EDITION songs sounded so mature. His voice was amazing, and only got better into his 20's. I have this on cassette, lol
@@levil4012 Ah, I know a fan when I see one :) I wore that album out on cassette, playing it on my Walkman on my bus rides to and from school. How perfectly 80's is that? Johnny's voice on Can U Stand The Rain! WITH THOSE RUNS!!! It's heavenly.
Babyface actually wrote that song for his brothers that were in a group called After 7 but they were late to the recording studio and Johnny Gill was like give me that song when he heard a snippet. So... they recorded the song with Johnny.
The two voices are quite different, Teddy has more of a baritone voice, Johnny more of a tenor voice. They are both great singers, but Teddy is the most experienced singer of the two and can use his vocals more flexibly than Johnny. Teddy Pendergrass can be equated with his singing skills with Luther Vandross and both have a distinctive voice. Many greetings from Heidelberg / Germany
When this song came out Johnny was a guest on the Arsenio Hall show. During the interview, Arsenio pulled some random lady from the audience and asked Johnny to start singing to her like she was on a first date with him and he was trying to impress her. He got right up in her face, hit the first couple of lines from this song, she turned fifty shades of red and just about fainted on stage. Almost every woman in the place lost it, lol.
Johnny's vocals on New Edition's "Can You Stand The Rain" is another stand out. Give that a listen. But for this kind of music, with this type of low and raw voice, there was only one singer that was king. Try Teddy Pendergrass doing "Close The Door", and "Turn Out The Lights".
But there are different voices of Johnny and Teddy, I have already written a comment about the voices. he was.....The two voices are quite different, Teddy has more of a baritone voice, Johnny more of a tenor voice. They are both great singers, but Teddy is the most experienced singer of the two and can use his vocals more flexibly than Johnny. Teddy Pendergrass can be equated with his singing skills with Luther Vandross and both have a distinctive voice...... But they are right, both can roughen the tone very well, some singers like to do that to better express the lyrics and to bring drama into the song. Many greetings from Heidelberg / Germany
@@dancefloor9032 I case you didn't notice I said "with this type of music". And Tresvant is a tenor. Johnny will always be a baritone. See the difference?
@@helgar791 didn't attack your comment, I just believe that Johnny Gill and Teddy Pendergrass have different voices. I agree with your statement about the rough voices. Where is the problem ? furthermore, they did not write a word about a baritone or tenor in their commentary.
This is my music growing up to high school time, I think the music back when i was young is way better than the music today, still a hot song that movies you with out being over the top and vulgar in lyrics
I ❤️ that you ❤️ the music I grew up on (1984-2004). I feel so blessed to have lived this life in the eras that I have. It’s been amazing to witness everything I have, and although I’m “older” now, I’ve always made a point of continuing to love new music as well as the the old. When you go back you get a greater appreciation for how the music has evolved. It makes it all the more enjoyable.
In 1992 at a New Year's event in an American barracks in Germany, I danced to this song by Johnny Gill all by myself on the dance floor. In this event hall there was a stage with a DJ playing music and in front of the stage there was a large dance floor, but nobody but me danced. About 800 American people sat at their tables and watched me as I danced on My, My, My. It was wonderful and later most of the Americans danced too of the Soul , R&B and Funk Music. I will always remember the beautiful evening. I thank America for the beautiful music. Many greetings from Heidelberg / Germany
Because 80s hitmaker Stacy Lattisaw helped him get recording/into music, he always makes me think of her and her amazing voice. Her last song before leaving industry was #1 duet with him.
This was all Babyface on the writing and producing. He got Kenny G on the sax and After 7 for the background. Johny almost missed out on his biggest hit, because he didn't want to do the song at first
Das stimmt ......that's true....You say it in one sentence. I bought all of the Johnny Gill Records in the 90s. His music is soulful, funky and classic. I would have liked to see him perform a live concert. Greetings from Heidelberg / Germany
The song was written by Babyface for his two brothers Kevon & Melvin along with third member Keith Mitchell of the group After 7. Melvin was actually going through some issues and the song was given to Johnny to record. The saxophone is actually being played by the one and only Kenny G.
a classic and incredible artistic work by Gill, Babyface, After 7, and Kenny G. Kenneth "Babyface" Edmonds has so many great songs out there. thank you for sharing your exuberance and joy in this video!
Imagine a recording entrepreneur starting a throwback R&B company to give real artists an avenue to spread this type of wholesome, romantic and respectful music one more time in our lives!!!
I felt as if I was in a tennis match. My head going from left to right, looking at Johnny and then your facial expressions in response to his moves and vocals! So cute 🥰 I’m sure at some point in my younger years I was slow dancing to this sexy song! I enjoyed watching you react to this!
I second the request for Quincy Jones' Secret Garden featuring Barry White, Al B. Sure, El DeBarge and James Ingram! But get yourself a handheld fan first! 😂😂😂
The long version of that song is called The Erotic Garden. It's a master-class in baby-making music. So is almost anything recorded by Luther Vandross. Finally, check out Love don't live here anymore, by Rose Royce.
@@philreichenbach2413 Herr Reichenbach ich glaube nicht das sie viel Ahnung von Musik haben. Sie reden sehr böse über Musik, Musik ist zum hören da. Ach sie sind kein Deutscher dann in Englisch........Mr. Reichenbach, I don't think you know much about music. They talk very badly about music, music is there to be heard. Oh you are not German then in English. Grüße aus Heidelberg / Germany
Next best song to go from here to get some more truly yummy Johnny Gill is "I'm Still Waiting." My favorite! I'm still listening to it in 2022 like it came out yesterday! (Just wish the video quality on the one that's available was better)
I assure you that you have never heard anything like it among the voices. Diana Ankudinova's voice goes straight to the soul. Among the reactionaries, Diana has long earned the title of queen of goosebumps.

Just wish that my wife and I were together back when music like this first came out! Do y’all remember the word “sprung”? Folks like Johnny Gill helped more than a few of us back in the day…😏😏😏
Awwww you reacted to this song! I’m gonna subscribe now coz I think I watched a few of your reactions in less than half an hour haha. Babyface songs are just love and this song with Johnny’s vocals *chefkiss*
FYI. The sax solo was by Kenny G. He was all the rage during the 90s and early 2k. This song produced by baby face, but Producers Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis were at the top of their game for most of his other stuff. Other artists they produced such as Janet Jackson, Herb Albert, Jordan Knight, Boyz II Men, Mary J Blige, Alexander O'Neil and on and on. This song topped the r&b and pop charts. Check out Jonnhy Gill with LSG "let a playa get his freak on"
The kids are all grown up now, but Johnny boy, you know you caused a tidal wave, population explosion after you dropped this joint. Teddy Pendergrass lit the 1970s, then passed the torch to you bro.

This type of music needs to come back
i think bruno did it onxe
I agree
Word!
@@sonyatmaja5392 not quite
Yes!!
A lot of you younger guys are here on earth because of this song , haha no doubt, ask ye momma
I bought this album for a girl I met back in 1990, and here we are 34 years later still happily married. ❤❤
Johnny gill smooth voice
After 7 on background vocals
Babyface production
Kenny G on Sax
What could be better
Babyface was also one of the songwriters of this song
Wow!
Johnny Gill is the reason early NEW EDITION songs sounded so mature. His voice was amazing, and only got better into his 20's. I have this on cassette, lol
That background in “can u stand the rain” and “ boys to men” from that NE HEARTBREAK album, 🔥🔥🔥

@@marisagettas the VERY good old days when TALENT ruled the airwaves!
Actually Johnny wasn't on early NE songs. He took the place of Bobby Brown on the NE Heartbreak album.
@@nittydalion the BEST move they made to mature their sound.. good job Jam & Lewis!

Damn, I would have loved to have heard Melvin Edmonds vocals on this track.
Johnny Gill has the voice like Teddy Pendergrass and the best soul singer of all time.
The two voices are quite different, Teddy has more of a baritone voice, Johnny more of a tenor voice. They are both great singers, but Teddy is the most experienced singer of the two and can use his vocals more flexibly than Johnny. Teddy Pendergrass can be equated with his singing skills with Luther Vandross and both have a distinctive voice.

pitches are a bit different but they both get the same reaction from the girls haha!
Just love when youngins finally hear our music
Johnny Gill is amazing. His vocal range is so amazing. He is one of the most underrated artists. He can sing
80s and 90s R&B always had that saxophone in the background

That Sax is Kenny G girl!…
This song is one of the best
"Boys to Men" by New Edition showcases Johnny Gill's voice perfectly. Also, listen to "Where Do We Go From Here", a duet he does with Stacey Lattisaw.
Watching your reaction is like eating that last piece of cake at 2am, feels guilty how adorable you are.
🤣
shiftt, I second that emotion!
You were looking at johnny and I was looking at your hypnotic face

Your reaction was genuine, and priceless. I forgot how infectious; the song was at the time.
I've always loved Johnny's voice even before he joined New Edition. You would enjoy his more recent songs with Ralph Tresvant.
Babyface (& LA Reid) produced the song.
That's Kenny G on the sax and After 7 (Babyface's bros & cuz) on the background vocals.
The other guy was LA Reid's cousin. Not Babyface's
This was all Babyface on the writing and producing. He got Kenny G on the sax and After 7 for the background. Johny almost missed out on his biggest hit, because he didn't want to do the song at first
Girl you got swag.. and proper and informative reaction to the song. And this song is always on my playlist since 1992.
Half Crazy is another great song of Johnny Gill. Very popular song here in the Philippines.
Johnny Gill and Shabba Ranks had a hit jam called Slow & Sexy. I was in high school when it came out.
This song was on my mix tapes, always first song on side B after " Secret Garden" Quincy Jones..which you should also check out.
Mine too
Bro … I had the same mixed tape playlist … ha ha ha playa gotta play
FREDDIE JACKSON: "You Are My Lady" "Rock Me Tonight"
This was definitely in rotation back in the day while entertaining a young lady.
This is a classic by Johnny Gill

You are so right! You must have been watching the TV one Special on My Fav group After7!
@@mjspov7983 Yes indeed !
FACTS
Have only listened to a couple of your reactions but I have to say...Your positivity is contagious and you are so BEAUTIFUL.
Much Love to you RoRo !
Arsenio Hall a talent search. He aired dozens of versions of dudes singing their hearts on this tune. Johnny is the unquestionable beast.
I'm in love with Johnny when i heard this song
same lol
Classic Johnny Gill one of my all time favourites, I love your review.
Girl, you are like an addictive drug. I can't seem to get enough of you!!
Johnny is a bad man!!!!!
My, My, My! These songs had ❤️. Freddie Jackson is another great artist.
a classic and incredible artistic work by Gill, Babyface, After 7, and Kenny G. Kenneth "Babyface" Edmonds has so many great songs out there. thank you for sharing your exuberance and joy in this video!
Your comments were so funny and I am picking up what you are putting down!😆😆🤣🤣 Johnny is definitely a cutie but his voice knocks me off my feet!💖
Johnny gill- there you go
Another good song From Johnny Gill is "Let's Get The Mood Right"
