Johnny Gill became perhaps the most recognized R&B soul singer of the early 90's from his Motown debut. With the help of Babyface, Jimmy Jam, Terry Lewis and Darryl Simmons, Johnny Gill was able to breakthrough and create a masterpiece. I truly...  (Read full review at Amazon)

This was one masterpiece recording by JG to this day. The songs on here just touch you in ways imaginable. I got me going with some of my old flames from back in the day. "Provocative and Let's Get The Mood Right" were two nice projects as...  (Read full review at Amazon)

One of the best R&B CDs from the early-'90s.

Like his idols Marvin Gaye and Teddy Pendergrass, Johnny Gill proved equally adept at handling hard-hitting uptempo dance/club tracks and romantic slow-tempo ballads. The Hip-Hop flavored "Rub You The Right Way" was the big hit but the poignant...  (Read full review at Amazon)

Badly underrated album that deserves to be heard

Not to be confused with his signature 1990 album, Johnny Gill's 1983 debut album might disappoint fans of New-Jack Swing, but certainly not those who love the bubblegum-type sound of early New Edition (which didn't feature Gill when this album was...  (Read full review at Amazon)

Johnny Gill Full Description
Johnny Gill It's telling when an artist releases two self-titled recordings a mere seven years apart. Gill has a great voice, but for the most part he remains in search of good material and effective production. This eponymous effort for Motown (the first was for Atlantic in '83) is his best effort. Gill was simply the finest voice to pass through the New Edition aggregation. His impassioned baritone gives lust a rare urgency and repentance an unusual poignancy (if not outright credibility). The teams of L.A. Reid and Babyface or Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis produced the best tracks on this record, and "Rub You the Right Way," is a minor classic. Gill has yet to match this disc, but in the right company, he will. --Martin Johnson
