Description

This week on The R&B Money Podcast, Tank and J Valentine sit down with massively influential R&B icon Johnny Gill for a wide-ranging, in-depth conversation about his decades-spanning music career. From getting his start singing gospel in DC-area church groups as a talented kid to landing a record deal and charting his first single while still a teenager, Johnny takes us through the origins of his meteoric rise in the industry.


 He shares behind-the-scenes stories from his time dating a young Stacy Lattisaw, becoming an integral member of New Edition after Bobby Brown's departure, and scoring smash solo hits like "Rub You the Right Way" and "My, My, My." Johnny opens up about his experiences in the R&B supergroup LSG alongside Gerald Levert and Keith Sweat, naming artists like Jeffrey Osborne, Luther Vandross and Donny Hathaway as inspirations and friends who helped shape his approach to singing and storytelling. 


While he's lived an extraordinary life in the spotlight, Johnny explains his philosophy of keeping his personal relationships private from the public, protecting his inner circle and maintaining balance. Now, over 40 years into his iconic career, the universally-admired vocalist joins the show to trace his evolution from gospel prodigy to a veritable living legend who helped define generations of R&B music. Enjoy an in-depth look at Johnny's incredible journey, Now on The R&B Money Podcast.
