After 7 was a RandB group, founded in 1988 by brothers Melvin and KevonEdmonds and David Mitchell.
The Edmonds brothers were the older siblings of popular pop and RandB singer-songwriter Kenneth "Babyface" Edmonds" while Mitchell was the cousin of Babyface's then-partner, songwriter-producer Antonio "L.A." Reid.
Both Kevon and Melvin Edmonds appear with Babyface in the film Soul Food, as memebrs of the RandB group "Milestone" and performing the song "I Care About You".
KevonEdmonds is featured in The Professional Singer's Handbook by Gloria Rusch from Milwaukee, WI-based publisher Hal Leonard.
Too shy to sing in the church choir, Edmonds sang to himself "for my own satisfaction" until his teenage years when he joined his buddies in the junior high and high school choirs.
He recruited Edmonds, Melvin, and siblings Ki-Ci and Jo Jo from Jodeci.
One of the most appealing male Soul singers to emerge in the '90s was KevonEdmonds.
Known principally as the lead singer for the young Soul group After 7, Edmonds became the bright tenor voice behind a number of hits for that group before emerging as a solid solo performer at the end of that decade.
Edmonds was involved in a fair amount of session vocal work during the 90s, working on many of his brother's productions, and most importantly becoming part of the one-performance group Milestone (along with K-Ci and Jojo) on the smash hit "I Care About You" from the Soul Food soundtrack.

KevonEdmonds just happens to be the brother of Kenneth "Babyface" Edmonds-but he's his own personality, thank you.
Actually, Kevon is one of six brothers who grew up in Indianapolis, Indiana.
While he professed shyness, Kevon eventually began singing in church choirs and while at Indiana University, became involved with a musical revue known as the I.U. Soul Revue.

KevonEdmonds [+]' solo debut 24-7 [+] proves that he can make it on his own, apart from After 7 [+], even if it isn't a full-fledged knockout.
Like his brother Babyface, Edmonds has an appealingly sophisticated spin on contemporary urban soul, never pushing the music too hard and keeping everything smooth and suave.

“24/7” by Kevon Edmonds(Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
Kevin Edmonds gives us a steady stream of romantic songs, which declare his never-ending love and devotion.
This is where KevonEdmonds tells his love that he thinks of her twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week, and that the love he has inside for her is more than words can say.
Kevon sounds like he really put his heart into this.

A certain tone, a sublime familiarity way beyond the singer/songwriter's work as a lead vocalist in the hit trio After 7; beyond Milestone, the supergroup he augmented, which scored the 1997 hit, "I Care About You" from the film "Soul Food." It is a cosmopolitan wonder, that voice.
Listen to Kevon's debut RCA solo album, 24/7 and consider the notion.

But my opinion is that Kevon is the SOUL in the group hands down.
I learned of this album when I went looking for more stuff by After 7 (KevonEdmond's was their lead singer) and I must say, he's amazing.
First off, Kevon is Babyface brother and Babyface appears several times in the album either to sing or as a writer.
