Melvin Edmonds, a member 'After 7' & brother of Kenny "Babyface" Edmonds, has died

Melvin Edmonds, a founding member of Indianapolis R&B group After 7 and older brother of Kenny "Babyface" Edmonds, died Saturday following a short illness.

He was 65.
His death was confirmed by his son, also named Melvin. After 7 landed three singles in the Top 20 of Billboard magazine's Hot 100 chart in the early 1990s: "Can't Stop," "Ready or Not" and "Heat of the Moment." A 2016 comeback album, "Timeless," sent three songs — "Runnin' Out," "I Want You" and "Let Me Know" — into the Top 10 of Billboard's adult R&B songs chart. Melvin Edmonds, who attended North Central High School, was the second oldest of six sons born to Marvin Edmonds Sr. and Barbara Edmonds: Marvin Jr., Melvin, Michael, Kevon, Kenny, and Derek. Marvin Sr. died in 1972, followed by Marvin Jr. in 2011 and Barbara in 2012.
Melvin Edmonds is survived by four children: Melvin, Jason, Chris and Courtney.
