Johnny Kemp's dead body was found off the coast of Montego Bay,
Jamaica on April 16, 2015. The “New Jack Swing” songwriter and
singer was 55-years-old. His greatest hit song was “Just Got Paid”
(1988) that climbed to number #1 on the R&B charts. It was also a
top ten single on Billboard Magazine's pop single's chart. “Just
Got Paid” was remade by the boy band group “NSYNC” in 2000.
It is still unclear what happened to Kemp two years since his death (2017). Early police
reports were later dismissed that had Johnny hitting his head and falling
into the water. He also didn't fall off a cruise ship. It has also
been confirmed that Kemp did not board a ship at any time. He was
scheduled to perform during the “Joyner Foundation” charity event
on the “Fantastic Voyage” cruise. His untimely death remains a mystery
and there was no indication of foul play.
“Just Got Paid” will always remain a classic Dance plus R&B
hit song. It made the Summer of 1988 so much fun. "Rest in Peace" Mr. Kemp...,
