Johnny Gill
Born May 22, 1966, in Washington D.C USA
Johnny's solo career began in 1983 when his childhood friend, Stacy Lattisaw, convinced him to record a demo. The demo he recorded fell into the hands of the president of Stacy's record label, and his debut album "Chemistry" was released on Atlantic Records.
Johnny had known New Edition since they released "Candy Girl" in 1983. When Bobby Brown left the group to pursue a successful solo career, they asked Johnny to join the group.
New Edition released the "Heart Break" album in 1988. Johnny gave the group the more mature and complete sound they were looking for. On the album, he sang solos on songs such as "Can You Stand The Rain," "N.E. Heart Break," and "Boys To Men."
In 1990, Johnny released his self titled album "Johnny Gill". It was a milestone in R&B history marking the first album to have been produced by the top two R&B producing teams of that time, L.A. Reid and Babyface and Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis.
"Rub You The Right Way" was the first single from that album. Other hits from the album included "My, My, My," "Wrap My Body Tight," and "Fairweather Friend."
In 1993, Johnny released the album "Provocative." The album featured songs like "I Got You" and "The Floor."
After New Edition released their reunion album, "Home Again," in 1996, Johnny released another solo album titled "Let's Get The Mood Right." The album featured songs like "Let's Get The Mood Right," "Maybe," and "It's Your Body."
In 1997, Johnny formed the supergroup LSG with Keith Sweat and Gerald Levert. The group had hits such as "My Body" and "Curious".
