INTERLUDES Live:
Johnny Gill features live performances of his chart-topping hits ""My, My, My," "Rub You The Right Way" and "Fairweather Friend." His set also includes "Role Play," "Behind Closed Doors," "There You Go" and "Game Changer." Along with amazing musical performances, the specialincludes intimate conversations, revealing the innermost "interludes" of Gill's life and career - faith and family, 30-plus years as a performer, the highs and lows of the music business, and more.
When speaking about New Edition's ability to reunite throughout the years, Gill said, "This is not a group that was just manufactured. This is not a group that is just a 'group." We have trials and tribulations, we have ups and downs. But we're still there. There's really a true brotherhood. So that's the difference."
Among the most dynamic voices of the 1990s, Gill helped transform
New Edition from a bubble-gum group to crossover hit-makers. His first solo album was a mega smash that featured "Wrap My Body Tight," "Fairweather Friend," and his signature ballad, "My, My, My." Recently he released a new Billboard charting CD after 16 years entitled, "Still Winning," and kicked-off his "Game Changer" tour earlier this year.
