Great choices. There are way too many choices though.

jgill has been around for a minute and these are some great pick marvalus.

my two favorite songs by him are definitely "fairweather friend" and "perfect combination" with stacy lattisaw.

Mr Gill's voice is awesome. I wish he would record again. We need artists that can really sing without all the studio engineering.

My favorite is still My, My, My; it was good to hear his other songs. Thanks for posting these videos.

Happy OSF.

Johnny Gill is definitely a bad dude. My favorite song by him is "The Floor". I was disappointed when it wasn't one of his solo tunes included on the New Edition Gold 2-CD set.

JG did Motown some justice. He was part of the new Motown era, but still encompassed the old Motown appearance, walk, talk, etc. Nice selection.

Happy OSF! Love J Gill! Great pick! He had major swagger! He bought a whole new level to New Edition! I was going to post Marvin Gaye (I've been in a Marvin mood lately) but...

I don't know these songs I need to research further.

Thanks for helping us get our Motown groove on! :D

I've always loved Johnny's voice. It was always strong and beautiful even when he was much younger. A man's voice. He had a duet w/Shanice called "Silent Prayer" that kicked ass.

Good stuff Marva.

I keep forgetting Johnny was on Motown. You are right, there were so many different artists on that label. Love me some Johnny. I would love to see him and NE again live.

I'm still stuck in the past so the retro Motown is my music but, yup, that man gotta voice!

I'm more of a sucker for a guy who can cook though!

Hmmmm. Mixed emotions about the Gill, but he is a good singer.

Hey now! You can't go wrong with Johnny Gill.

Excellent choice! Johnny's voice is so soothing. He just makes you want to stop whatever you are doing and get into the moment. :grin:

Old Fan. New Edition. Boston.

Great pick. I didn't know how many artists are on Motown.

Have a blessed weekend.


I was surprised that one who has had my ear this week is on Motown.

Traveling down the road of lives.

You know the rest.

I could never get into Johnny Gill, I mean the music was good but he never made an impression on me.

MrsGrapevine · 1 year ago

Haven't heard any of these songs, and would probably like Johnny more is I had. I never bought the album, and all they play is My My My and Rub You The Right Way.


Thanks for bringing me something new to the table.

Vivrant Thang · 1 year ago

Agree with Grapevyne. Thanks for bringing something new to the table. I own Let's Get The Mood Right but don't remember that song from it. Need to take another listen! I had also forgotten JG was on Motown as well.

Hey Marvalus.

I think the man's voice is great, although I must confess the music doesn't get me going quite so much. But you can't deny those pipes.

Thanks for posting!
