Johnny Kemp is a R&B and dance music singer and dancer born in Nassau,
Bahamas and raised in Harlem, New York. He released his self-titled debut
album in 1986 and scored a minor hit with "Just Another Lover." However,
true success came the following year, with the release of his Secrets of
Flying album, which contained a pair of top-five hits on the R&B charts,
"Dancin' with Myself" and "Just Got Paid," the latter of which went all
the way to number one. "Just Got Paid" also cracked the top 10 on the
Billboard Hot 100 in 1988 and went to #1 on the Hot Dance Music/Club Play.
His only other Hot 100 entry was "Birthday Suit," a tune from the
soundtrack to the movie, Sing which climbed to #36 in 1989.
Kemp recently resurfaced on a 2007 DVD release by Keith Sweat entitled
Sweat Hotel Live. This DVD features live performances by Sweat in a sort
of 'reunion' with other R&B/New Jack Swing era pioneers of the late 1980s,
including Tedd
