What Happened To R&B Group After 7? | Babyface's Brothers, Label Issues & The Sad Loss of a Member

Melvin, Kevon and Keith, collectively known as the R&B group After 7, never gave up on their dream to make a name for themselves in the music industry. They took a major leap of faith leaving their secure day jobs and, thankfully, the risk paid off ten-fold. However, just when they started to really enjoy their success, things went left. Ultimately, they were forced to make the painful decision to walk away from it all.

After 7 has a lot of timeless classic hits

[@Hains22]

This is the only time I will applaud nepotism. “Can’t Stop” is classic.

[@namirelez6739]

Wow this is a testament to Babyface’s talent. He literally made them happen!

[@beaniegee5129]

Their cover of Baby I'm for Real is a classic

[@Jaheartsjonas]

When I was little I thought the lead singer Kevon was a woman whenever my parents would play their CDs lol. Now as an adult and music fan I can really appreciate his pure high tenor vocals, truly one of a kind!

[@tayronforbes2371]

They still have countless R&B hits despite not going further and issues within the group

[@beaniegee5129]

Next year will be the 35th anniversary of After 7's self-titled debut album and the 25th anniversary of Kevon Edmonds' solo debut album

[@beaniegee5129]

After 7's self-titled debut album is a classic

[@darrylcarter3691]

It’s great that they were able to break in the Music business at 30+ years old. I feel like back then, age didn’t matter. If you had it you had. But now in today’s era of music, they want to sign younger artists with ages ranging for 15-25. Once you reach 30, chances of reaching famous is very slim.

this story is a good illustration of how success in the entertainment industry is not what people think it is.

[@jeromewhite7681]

Ready Or Not is my favorite song

[@tnayenga77]

This band helped forever change the landscape of music in the late 80s & 90s with their New Jack Swing sound. Babyface in my opinion is probably the greatest songwriter to ever grace r&b with all of the timeless songs he penned. Thank you for this video as ‘Can’t Stop’ listening to After 7❤️💯🎶

[@nataliemscrzysxycoolharris]

My condolences to the family & friends for their loss of Melvin 🙏🏾.

[@thegoldenseatlife]

You are getting ALL my FAVES, lol. After 7 is one of my favorite groups of all time. I have seen them live a few times and got to meet them twice when Danny joined. They are the NICEST guys. So humble and kind. And they sound AMAZING!! Ready or Not will forever be my SONG lol. The vocals are just incredible!!

[@saj8]

Virgin Records did a good job keeping the ages of After 7 a secret, because if word came out that those dudes were older than they actually were, their careers would have been over.

[@beaniegee5129]

Kevon and Melvin Edmonds also sang with Babyface on Babyface's MTV Unplugged episode in 1997 along with Marc Nelson, Eric Clapton and Sheila E

[@stevewilson5749]

When watching this... they'd reminded me of another favorite rb group of mine in the late 80's early 90's "Surface" anyone remembers?🤔😃🤩💯🎶🎶🎶🎶

[@SheleahMonea]

Danny is my boy!!! So glad he’s part of such an amazing group!!!

[@beaniegee5129]

Love these stories so much

[@lichi1244eva]

Man, I loooooove me some After 7!!!! Thank you for this!
