In this clip, Johnny Gill shared behind-the-scenes stories about forming the R&B supergroup LSG, made up of himself, Gerald Levert, and Keith Sweat. He also revealed the original plan was for the group to include different members, an idea that ultimately got changed. Despite initial skepticism from industry peers, LSG - with its unique combination of artists - proved successful. Their debut album peaked at number four in the charts and featured collaborations with big names like Puff Daddy, Jermaine Dupri, Faith Evans, and others. LSG was compared to "The Three Tenors" from classical music, showcasing for the first time three established R&B artists forming a supergroup. Gill also touched on the close, albeit occasionally tense, relationships within the group, likening it to a brotherhood.
