Secrets Of Flying is the second and final album released by Bahamian American singer-songwriter Johnny Kemp. Released at the end of 1987, this album featured two massively successful singles. The first hit from the album was the Grammy-nominated single "Just Got Paid," which cracked the Top 10 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1988, and went on to top both the R&B chart and Hot Dance Music/Club Play chart. The second hit from the album, "Dancin' with Myself" also became a top-5 R&B success. A third single from the album, the slow jam "One Thing Led to Another" reached the R&B top 40 as well.
Secrets of Flying was digitally remastered by "New Skool Sounds" in 2012 including 4 additional bonus tracks.
+: Bonus tracks on the reissued version
+ Kemp is not officially credited on the album cover as the lead vocalist on "One Thing Led to Another" or "My Only Want is You." However, given that he is the primary artist and is credited as lead vocalist on all of the other tracks, it seems like a reasonable assumption to make that he sings lead on these two as well.
