After 7 - Can't Stop (One World Remix) Virgin Records 1989

"Can't Stop" is a song performed by After 7, issued as the fourth single from the group's eponymous debut album. It is the group's highest-charting single, peaking at No. 6 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1990. The song became the group's second number-one R&B single, and peaked at No. 25 on the dance chart. "Can't Stop" was certified Gold by the RIAA on February 7, 1991.

Marvin Edmonds Sr. and Barbara Edmonds of Indianapolis, Indiana had six sons: Marvin Jr., Melvin, Michael, Kevon, Kenneth and Derek. According to Babyface, Melvin and Kevon were the two best singers in the musical family. The roots of After 7 trace to when Kevon met Keith Mitchell at Indiana University Bloomington in the late 1970s, where they were members of the Indiana University Soul Revue. Kevon and Keith decided to form a group as a hobby and add Melvin. For years Kevon worked at Eli Lilly and Co., Mitchell worked at John Hancock in Chicago and Melvin worked at Chrysler Corp. in Indianapolis. They would occasionally come together to perform in Indianapolis. Mitchell was long thought to be the cousin of Babyface's then-songwriting/production partner Antonio "L.A." Reid; however, this was set up as a marketing tool for the group and was incorrect.

By the late 1980s, the Edmonds' younger brother Babyface had built a successful career singing, writing and producing. He invited Melvin, Kevon and Keith out to Los Angeles, named them After 7, and got them a record deal with Virgin Records.

After 7 is an American R&B group founded in 1987 by brothers Melvin and Kevon Edmonds, and their friend Keith Mitchell. The Edmonds brothers are the older siblings of pop/R&B singer-songwriter and record producer Kenneth "Babyface" Edmonds, who named the group and helped them get a record deal with Virgin Records in 1988. After 7 released their platinum-selling[3] self-titled debut album in 1989, which spawned three singles "Heat of the Moment", "Ready or Not" and "Can't Stop". "Ready or Not" and "Can't Stop" were No. 1 R&B hits and top 10 hits on the Billboard Hot 100. Their second album Takin' My Time, released in 1992, also went platinum and contained the R&B hit medley "Baby, I'm for Real/Natural High". After 7's Gold-selling 1995 album Reflections was their last album before the group disbanded in 1997. The album included the R&B hit "'Til You Do Me Right. Years later the group resumed touring with Jason Edmonds, son of Melvin Edmonds, replacing his father. Melvin rejoined the group for their successful 2016 comeback album Timeless, which featured 3 adult R&B top 10 hits "Runnin' Out", "I Want You" and "Let Me Know".

Melvin Edmonds died on May 18, 2019, at the age of 65. Jason left the group shortly thereafter and Danny McClain was added.

Last night, I had the time of my life
It's true
Oh, last night, I made love for the very first time
With you

I never knew love could be so sweet
It never made a difference to me, well well
But ever since the day that you appeared
I'm telling you, you've made the difference now love is so clear

And I can't stop
(Can't stop)
How I feel
I'm diggin' on you
You diggin' on me
We diggin' on we

And oh, I can't stop

Out of me, ooh wee
And for the first time, girl
You made my dream a reality, indeed

I never thought love was meant for me

You've got me thinking that I need protection
'Cause your love is so strong, I don't wanna do wrong
Girl, your love seems like it's true protection
You just give me a call and I'll give you my all
