Johnny Gill was a member of New Edition. In 1990 he released his debut solo LP. This was produced by Babyface and L.A. Reid with co-production from Kayo and Darryl Simmons. They were part of the LaFace Records production team and they would go on to produce the majority of Babyface's brothers' After 7 on their 2nd album, Takin' My Time, in 1992.
This is a dope track. Johnny has an amazing voice.

Mint Condition was a great band that began in the early 90's. Fronted by Stokley Williams who did lead and backup vocals as well as drumming. He can also play guitar and piano. A true music prodigy. This is from their 2011 LP '7'
"Caught My Eye"

So smooth. LL Cool J featuring Boyz II Men. Produced by Trackmasters Poke & Tone.
"Hey Lover"

The sample, pure MJ
