When they were itty bitty boys and I was full grown, I made my guy take me to the Auditorium to see them. They entered the stage from a car above the stage and truly tore the house down! I love them,,,,,today's boy bands truly stole their style from them....if they could. Hang in there all you guys. The real deal. Hope you make your way to Chi-town again.
For me, the recruitment of Johnny Gill to New Edition was the best thing that could have ever happened to them. He brought that mature sound which makes HeartBreak their best album of all time. RnB in the 89's was so damn hot!
Maybe the best NE song of all time. Johnny Grill brought such an adult sound to their group. They didn't miss Bobby musically. This was the first song I remember thinking "They sound like men instead of boys". Great song, great album.
@thisafrikan The group Boyz II Men got their name from New Edition's song. Michael Bivins (New Edition member) was also the one that brought Boyz II Men to the public.
I'm back and hooked on this again tonight! Such a perfect song and yes, far too underrated. They said that Johnny didn't want to do this at first - a little too corny maybe? At the same time, it's so cool that he took it on. I don't think anyone could have added his flavor to. It's beautiful, with a sound that kind of makes you want to cry for those times again. It fits the wonderful young men in my life, including my son...growing and maturing. Peace.
People can say what they want about Johnny Gill, but he is a perfect singer and far ahead of his age in his approach to this song. They were all so young and cool. I still love them. Glad to know they are coming back together!
A Perfect Combination Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis & New Edition. This song is so underrated! I'm so glad Johnny decided to sing it after all. Definitely the best album of N.E.'s career. Hope they do another pure Jam & Lewis project before they retire.
@MystroMusicMan Home Agian in my opinion was better, but i love all there albums and most of their solo stuff.
And i agree about them doing more stuff with jimmy and terry. whenever i hear their names i think NE though most peopel would say janet, NE was better.
They had jimmy jam and lewis do some songs for their last album for BAD BOY but puffy wasnt haven that. so we cna all thank puffy for ruining NE, though the album was still good.
dam this track bring back soo soo many good memories feel so good it hurt.back in the day is so much better than it is today. thank you much for posting you deserve a medal.
