RIP and one of my earlier memories of him was "just another lover" which he put out 29 years back and the way he danced on american bandstand and it was grooving. Kashief did the thing on the Production.

Johnny Kemp was important to New Jack swing. just got paid along.

prayers to his family,friends and fans

His body found floating in the water??!!!!


I'm glad you mentioned his contribution to r&b/soul music
It was a special time to be around late 87/early 88 and hearing Just Got Paid and I Want Her on the radio.
Nothing else sounded like that.
You knew something special was about to happen
Folks tend to dismiss NJS and its importance in music.
NJS is like the new disco.

on a friday.

A great vocalist and performer. Most know him for "just got paid". He had many other songs that showed his vocals. His first album is a must have. I was still hoping to meet him one day. He will be missed.
