(CNN) R&B singer Melvin Edmonds, a member of the group After 7 and brother of superstar Kenny "Babyface" Edmonds, has died, his former bandmate told CNN.

He was 65.

Edmunds died Saturday, according to a statement from After 7 co-founder Keith Mitchell posted on the group's Facebook page and confirmed by CNN. The cause of death has not been revealed.

After 7 rose to fame in the 1990s with hits like "Can't Stop," "Ready or Not" and "Heat of the Moment." The group was founded in 1987 by Melvin Edmonds, his brother Kevon Edmonds and Mitchell.

"Melvin was, without any doubt, the 'Soul' of After 7," the Facebook post read in part. "His ability to 'signaturize' a vocal melody in Rhythm and Blues music produced a vocal sound that can never be erased or duplicated. ... Melvin's love for audiences and fans everywhere who supported our music is what drove him on stage and in life. He is and will be missed by my family, fans, and friends."
