Before Robin Thicke and Justin Timberlake there was….. Jon B

[@nicoleobrien5987]

I still blame Jon B for the audacity of Justin Timberlake. 😝🤣 He really had us out here believin' he had a lil bit of swag with theTimbaland & Pharrell of it all....... then next thing we know he's a man in the damn woods......of the woods? I don't know the name of the album, but there was some forestry involved......& let's not even get started on that dancin' video in the dad khakis & chunky sneakers from a couple months ago. It was a no sir for me.🤦🏾‍♀️🤣

[@lateshiachilds3640]

People forget, Robin was around in the 90s writing music for 3T, Mya, Brandy, Brownstone, Color Me Badd. Jordan Knight, and a few more people before doing his solo album. I'm a huge Robin Thicke fan I have CDs so I read album credits.

Jon B paved the way for Robin Thicke, Justin Timberlake, Justin Bieber, etc... to crossover & be embraced by R&B audiences!! He deserves ALL of his flowers🙌🙌🙌🙌

[@dashingnurse5098]

Facts!!!!

[@chanecak]

I love me some Jon B and yes he definitely deserves his flowers. Bobby Caldwell paved the way for him but Jon B took it to an entirely different level.

[@amcra1]

please stop

[@rikkidgermano9640]

STOP! Except Robin, Justin Bieber & Justin Timberlake are Pop singers! They are in no shape or form R&B artist. Yes, they do ocassionally R&B tracks and feature some rappers/singers from the culture but they became huge megastars because they did Pop music and if it wasn't for this Pop music, nobody would know about them. Jon B was always R&B and his entrance was totally different so he never paved the way for most of these pop singers...

[@amcra1]

[@quitasherrod9553]

Everytime he talked about 2Pac you could hear the hurt and the love he has for him.

[@Jermainebolo]

I met Jon B in 2021 while he was in a hotel lobby with his Wife and background singers waiting for their ride to a show. He was patiently waiting for an hour plus and during this time we had a great conversation and I can say that he is one of the few most genuine people I’ve met in the music industry and I’ve met many artists over the years. One thing I will share about what we spoke on was his shelved Jack Herrera album which is a modern day classic. It was amazing to hear the background story to how this record was made and why it never came out at the time it was made. Also Jon B was kind enough to sing a rendition of pretty girl to my lady via a video message for me (he is her favourite artist). Salute to Jon B!!

[@MarieAmicalola]

One hidden gem of this podcast is when the artists burst into songs in the middle of stories.

[@tamarajohnson2315]

Jon B is STILL that dude! He's a musician's musician. His gift is unmatched. R&B Money keep coming with it for the culture! Salute

[@bankston11]

Still!

[@purplepheasant4776]

I love a Jon B ad lib. The way he hears music is so smooth. He is comfortable swag. He has his own lane and it can't be imitated even though he came out doing Babyface. There is nothing else that is Bona-fide, Cool Relax, Pleasures You Like, or Comfortable Swagg.

Love Jon B. Stokely is unstoppable!!!!!!!!! He is the real vocalist. Bruh can sing ANYTHING. I wish he would cover a really old classic by David Oliver. "Miss". Thank you guys for digging in deep regarding the music industry, so informative. Blessings. 💯💯💯

I did not know he wrote the song Secrets for Toni Braxton. I just learned that. That's a bad boy, when you know he can write like that. THAT song was awesome.

LYFE JENNINGS....get lyfe JENNINGS on !!

[@blacprophet1153]

That was so funny and disrespectful when Jon B, said the producer told him he was too black! Ain't no such thing as being too black! Because " Black is so beautiful"!!! Also I respect the love for Pac! Jon B is an R&B/producer/writer/musician and legend!!!

Maybe this podcast will inspire radio to get back to how it was back in the day. I remember when all of the music that is discussed each podcast, was consistently played on the radio. Not only did my parents introduce me to every genre of music, but so did the radio stations. Nowadays, we hear the same songs on rotation. It’s ridiculous.

I love Jon B. SO talented and SO humble. He always gives his wife props! I’m glad he found his happiness because he has stayed so true to the game. Very genuine vibes.
