Spotlight customer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: Never quite able to duplicate Comment: Johnny Gill became perhaps the most recognized R&B soul singer of the early 90's from his Motown debut. With the help of Babyface, Jimmy Jam, Terry Lewis and Darryl Simmons, Johnny Gill was able to breakthrough and create a masterpiece. I truly believed he would be the face of R&B/Soul for many years to come. Spin-off singles like the classic "My, My, My", "Rub You The Right Way" and "Fairweather Friend" made an immediate impact, while "Lady Dejour", "Just Another Lonely Night", "Giving My All To You", "Wrap My Body Tight", "Feels So Much Better", and "Let's Spend The Night" would've been chart-toppers on different albums. This album is one of my all time favorites and it was hard to see a great singer struggle for so many years. In many comparisons to the great Teddy Pendergrass, Johnny Gill displayed gritty but smooth soul throughout this album that unfortunately would go unnoticed during the rest of his solo career. Despite the future disappointments, this LP is classic and by far the best work by Johnny Gill. Customer Rating: Summary: The best Johnny Gill recording still! Comment: This was one masterpiece recording by JG to this day. The songs on here just touch you in ways imaginable. I got me going with some of my old flames from back in the day. "Provocative and Let's Get The Mood Right" were two nice projects as well, but this one was tops. Unfortunately, JG was overshadowed by a few other artist in the 90's. I think we all know who they are. But JG was and still is one of the great voices of the last 20 years. Customer Rating: Summary: He will always be my intimacies lost Comment: Johnny, Johnny, Johnny, from the inception of half crazy, I have been in love with this mans voice, and the energy he uses to get his message accross. Yes, there is a message and it has everything to do with being as intimate as you can get..Sexy does not begin to describe this man. What is the mystery behind that awesome glare. Customer Rating: Summary: One of the best R&B CDs from the early-'90s. Comment: Like his idols Marvin Gaye and Teddy Pendergrass, Johnny Gill proved equally adept at handling hard-hitting uptempo dance/club tracks and romantic slow-tempo ballads. The Hip-Hop flavored "Rub You The Right Way" was the big hit but the poignant ballads "Giving My All To You", "Lady Dujour", "Just Another Lonely Night" and the Quiet Storm classic "My My My" are this CD's real gems. Johnny Gill was simply one of THE best male R&B vocalists of the 1990s--as well as one (thankfully) NOT afraid to showcase his Gospel and classic R&B roots. Customer Rating: Summary: Badly underrated album that deserves to be heard Comment: Not to be confused with his signature 1990 album, Johnny Gill's 1983 debut album might disappoint fans of New-Jack Swing, but certainly not those who love the bubblegum-type sound of early New Edition (which didn't feature Gill when this album was released). It did yield one minor R&B hit "Super Love", is well-produced throughout, and features two great songs in "Guilty" and "Half-Steppin." This album is difficult to find (even on tape) so if you see it, grab it. More Reviews
Editorial Reviews: It's telling when an artist releases two self-titled recordings a mere seven years apart. Gill has a great voice, but for the most part he remains in search of good material and effective production. This eponymous effort for Motown (the first was for Atlantic in '83) is his best effort. Gill was simply the finest voice to pass through the New Edition aggregation. His impassioned baritone gives lust a rare urgency and repentance an unusual poignancy (if not outright credibility). The teams of L.A. Reid and Babyface or Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis produced the best tracks on this record, and "Rub You the Right Way," is a minor classic. Gill has yet to match this disc, but in the right company, he will. --Martin Johnson
