Who's Spinning What: Johnnie Gee
author: Dave Tianen
As frontman for Milwaukee soul band Step By Step, Johnnie Gee recorded for Brunswick Records back in the '70s - the same label that brought soul fans the Chi-Lites and Jackie Wilson. Gee remains active in the business today and has a new EP's titled "One More Time", and "Thinline" available at www.gecongroup.net , CDbaby.com, and other outlets online.
This artist has set out to do something no other Artist in 3 decades has ever done, along with his original band "Step By Step" LP "I Always Wanted To Be In The Band", and his Brunswick compliations, "Free Soul", "Vector Traveling" D.J's", Brunswick Catalog and his most recent releases,
"One More Time" (EP) and his new hot release "Thinline".
All of Johnnie Gee's powerful collection can be still found online, as well as his current releases, God Blessed us with such an Artist filled with soo much history, i recently seen one of "Johnnie Gee's shows' and the hot single "Thinline", has got to be one of the best throw back ole school cuts i've enjoyed in years, if you want my vote for one of the hottest and staying current Artist after 37yrs., i'ts....
This is my final answer "One More Time", "Johnnie Gee"

Milwaukee's Soul Legend
author: The Miltown Source Magazine (Milwaukee)
The songs Johnnie Gee writes and sings indeed are his vision, for they speak of love, whether it's fulfilling or unrequited, obsessive or painful. His current EP 'One More Time', continues to rise on the charts. It is his fifth consecutive LP, the Midwest premiere tenor won his first Award for the single "Baby, Baby," a big favorite at weddings and his first crossover Soul Track. He had been nominated previously, and many of his fans feel it was an honor long overdue.
At times Johnnie Gee is perplexed and disappointed that his music does not cross over and peak on the pop charts, but right now he is not concerned about what wasn't or isn't. He just loves making music. Over the years, his romantic songs have made him a much-adoredthough reluctant-sex symbol among his loyal Black following. His lush and sensuous vocal undulations take his listeners through the highs and lows of his lyrics and melodies.
Make sure you pick up a copy of this artist EP, it's the bomb!
