    Melvin! My old buddy from Chrysler days. Gonna miss this man. I'd run into him at White Castle in Nap, hung out at his Moms house on Riviera with Michael and then to see him at the Celebrity Theater near Long Beach as After 7...Wow! He was always so humble, could sing his butt off. Talented family. Blessed,...truly Blessed.

    Melvin was a true throw back to the golden era of soul. His sound was vital to the success of After 7. Now don't get me wrong Timeless was a solid comeback album. Too Late and I Want You are right up there with some of their best tracks. But as a whole it's at least a couple notches below their earlier releases. RIP Melvin thank you for the memories and great music. Prayers to the Edmonds family.

After 7 showed up and showed out with setting the bar at higher standards in the R & B genera. When After 7 stop producing albums in the early 2000’s as a group it hurt the music industry; We all loved and will miss Melvin!
    To the group, After 7... We need more albums and concerts PLEASE!?!!?? GOD BLESS🙏🏾

    It's crazy she said how After 7 is the greatest R&B group(singers) of all time. I DO AGREE WITH HER. This one group that DO NOT GET THE CREDIT. I'm salty as well. I remember the first time I ever heard after 7, I had to be like 14, I'm 29 now. I remember hearing Kevon sing and I took it to my friend was like "yo You got to hear these guys sing" at that time were trying to start our own middle school, high school group... But when it comes to the Edmond family babyface is my favorite producer and After 7 is my favorite R&B group. They all are great singers, even my boy Keith, very cool guy, played his role well. After 7, top tier R&B group. RIP Melvin. Shout out to his son Jason for holding it down.
