Although "Just Got Paid" was Kemp's signature anthem, many forgot that this classic gem here was his solo introduction onto the music scene, as well as it becoming his first charting hit single, peaking inside the US Billboard R&B's Top 20 back in 1986.
To Johnny Kemp and Kashif, two mega-talents that didn't get the recognition they so rightly deserved. I recognise their greatness here and celebrate them. May they both continue to Sleep In Him 🙏🏾🌹💜
Miss this cat. 😢 Great voice and catchy tunes. And I'm proud to have considered him an acquaintance since we were neighbors when I was living in Harlem.
I was given this album by members of the SOS Band and thought it was 🔥hot...I soon after heard this track played on V103-FM in Atlanta. One thing about Atlanta at that time, the djs played songs that were not necessarily played in other markets and I used to tell people not to sleep on Johnny Kemp but then "Just got paid" got released and the rest was history 🤑. Thanks Johnny Kemp for this track, I was always a fan and definitely a subscriber!...Just like Redd Blitz below
If they had just allowed him on that cruise ship he would still be alive today instead on tragically dieing on April 16th ,2015. It's truly very sad that all that tremendous talent he possessed is forever gone from this world but at least he will live on in his music. I just found out about this absolutely legendary musical artist last year in 2021 . RIP 🪦🙏to the late great Johnny Kemp.
RIP 🙏 ⚰ 🪦to the consummate legend known as Johnny Kemp and rest in peace as well as in power . He must have gotten all the hot and sexy ladies when he was alive . I wish I was as prodigiously talented as Johnny Kemp was when he was alive . He was a truly underrated musical icon .

RiP Johnny. You had were painfully without rhythm and your producers tried to hide your dancing. But your vocals were always on point. Mad love.
He’s vibing, there’s a difference
You’re right.
Even then I immediately noticed he was a terrible dancer.
