Johnny Gill

Johnny Gill always struck me as one of the most powerful voices to come out of New Edition, even though he joined as the sixth and last member. That booming, gospel-rooted baritone gave the group a different texture, and his solo run in the early 1990s, plus the supergroup LSG with Gerald Levert and Keith Sweat, cemented him as a real R&B heavyweight. Eight solo albums is no small thing. What I appreciate is his longevity: he never chased trends so much as kept delivering that classic, full-throated soul sound. For me he's underrated in the wider pop conversation but beloved by anyone who knows the genre.
