It breaks my heart to inform you of the passing of Melvin
Edmonds, older brother of Kenneth “Babyface” Edmonds, and founding member
of 1990s group After 7. We all loved the sound of After 7, who popularized such
songs as “Heat of the Moment,” “Can’t Stop,” and “Ready or Not.”
Melvin was born in 1953 and died on May 18, 2019 after a brief
illness, at the age of 65.
Melvin left After 7 for a period of time following some measure
of discord, and was replaced by his son, Jason. Melvin returned to the group in
2016, prior to the release of “Timeless.”
After 7 was virtually off of the music scene for several years,
during which Melvin suffered a stroke. But just listen to the opening bars of
“Heat of the Moment” and the smooth voices, the suave looks, and the sexy moves
of After 7 return to mind. We will all miss Melvin.
