Johnny Gill joins Terrell Owens and Chris Spencer on Get TO the Point to open up about the disagreements and personal conflicts that nearly derailed New Edition. He explains how he and Michael Bivins repeatedly butted heads, why the group struggled to communicate and make decisions, and how Kobe Bryant's passing made him realize that their differences weren't worth losing their brotherhood over.
Johnny also shares how the members learned to listen to one another, put their differences aside, and get back on the same page. Johnny looks back on more than four decades in the music business, from signing his first record deal at just 15 years old to becoming one of R&B's most recognizable voices.
He discusses the story behind "My My My," almost passing on the iconic hit, working with Snoop Dogg, and how Tyler Perry accidentally turned him into a wedding singer. He also shares personal stories about Whitney Houston, Luther Vandross, Anita Baker, and his close friendship with Stevie Wonder.
Plus, Johnny talks about the evolution of R&B, the challenges facing artists in today's music industry, and what it takes to keep a legendary group like New Edition together. 00:00 Intro 07:06 Growing Up in Washington, D.C. 15:04 Finding His Voice as an Artist 21:06 Johnny Gill and Snoop Dogg 23:01 New Edition's Rocky Road to Reunion 31:05 Life on the Road With New Edition 36:08 Where Has R&B Gone? 40:06 Stories About Whitney Houston and Luther Vandross 45:04 New Edition's Wildest Moments 52:05 Johnny's Famous Friends 1:00:17 Get Your Popcorn Ready 1:09:02 Johnny Gill's Legacy and What's Next See for privacy information.
