Yes, yes, Don't let the mountain win.

That heartbreak album was amazing. Johnny Gills vocal and harmonies really gave that album the maturity NE needed to reach a more broad and mature audience. His voice alone, truly brought NE from boys to men.

Johnny Gill is a r&b legend not just in New Edition, but as a solo artist in music. I remembered 35 years ago when Heartbreak album came out in 1988 the one artist that Johnny was compared too was Teddy Pendergrass who is my favorite artist of all time. His voice was a little bit similar to Teddy's because he had a very soulful voice and the way he screamed on their songs, my favorite song My My My, and his other group LSG was unheard of at the time.🎤

Does the interviewer want to do the interview because damn that is what it seems like. Let Johnny talk.

Johnny: So think of it we were in our 20s Vlad: uhhh you were 31😂😂😂

That Home Again tour was when a lot of bread was spent. By each member having their own entourage and your bus, they went totally over that budget. The label took all of that publishing to pay back all of that loan that they spent and they broke up the Home Again Tour early.

This is amazing to hear. During that time, so many mentors were available to mentor them. Greg Morris, Sidney Portier, Diana Ross, etc.

Very Proud of You Ricky Such a Powerful Story J.G God Has Blessed You in the End ❤

I can verify that Barry Bonds was/is an electronics nerd because he was a regular customer at an electronics superstore where I used to work as a loss prevention officer in the late 90's (miracle). Black people better start respecting the black nerds that God SENDS to bless them/us with wisdom!

When you get caught up in a bad life style it’s like an addiction you’ve hit rock bottom before getting out or killed yourself.

I LOVE LIFE AND ITS MANY LESSONS.

I met Johnny in 2013. Didn't know they went through financial struggles. It would've been better if they were in my situation with a career making money and do music for passion.

Yes let the guest talk😂🤦🏾‍♀️🤔

He looks like D Wade in 20 years lol lol..great interview

Vlad should just interview himself since he won't stfu.

At this point Vlad just wanna hear himself talk 😒

Johnny Gill looked like a wounded goose when he danced.

Glad interview me!! I used to cut Johnny Gill’s grass 🌳

These actors. And athletes do not have all the money we think they have. Especially the singers.

For some reason people still think these artist, actors, etc, are just these rich well off people, no you have to continue to tour/work, the rest of your life to keep up with the lifestyle, not to much time to actually sit and enjoy it LIKE I KNOW THEY WANT TO ENJOY IT, and you will miss out on seeing your kids grow, they sell the dream so hard to the regular civilian but all along deep down inside they are all fighting depression, drugs, and suicide thoughts, because most of them cant go back to being regular, because they wouldn't be able to handle the backlash, so they sit there stuck in a system wanting out.
