#RIP #MelvinEdmonds we've done several shows with After 7 but Melvin was usually absent. Although he didn't perform with them he was still there last July. They even called him up on stage that show. I'm glad I was there, and I'm glad I had the chance to take this picture with him! They are underrated, but important in music history... Prayers to the Edmonds family and all that knew and loved him!!!!! #readyornot #ripmelvinedmonds #after7 https://www.instagram.com/p/BxuVGKHhOth/?igshid=rwmcsfbuvul6
