My cousins mother died the year this album was hot. He turned me on to this album when he came home for the funeral. He died like 12 years later. He was an artistic (drawing and painting) genius. Funny how music can take you back to the places and people it wants you to remember. Cherish your peoples while you still have them.
SORRY FOR YOUR LOSSES AND MY CONDOLENCES. SO TRUE, BEAUTIFULLY SAID. MY BROTHER MARVIN PASSED IN 2020. HE LOVED HIS MUSIC AND SO DO I. JOHNNY GILL WAS ONE OF HIS FAVORITES. SITTING HERE REMEMBERING THE CHERISHED GOOD TIMES WE HAD TOGETHER, MAKES THE SAD TIMES BEARABLE. REST IN HEAVEN BELOVEDS , GONE NEVER FORGOTTEN😇💖

This is one a the best records of all time period! He's hands down one a the Greatest singers of all time! He can hit the highest notes and Go from high to low and low to high like it aint no thang!
When me, and my ex met, she told me "no matter what we go through, I see something in you that we'll always be friends." I'm glad that we are. Thank you for caring about me!
@@j.corey.k8547 lol nah I listen too a lot of new gen music I’m young bruh. But 1 its too many ppl trying to rap and 2 its too many imitators. I can show you 100 “rappers” that sound like they favorite rapper 😂😂😂😂😂 def not hatin
I can't even front on Johnny his solo album is one of the best of all time, I played the hell out this album so classic. This is a favorite fairweather friend is a real good mid tempo record that still sounds good today.
One of the best songs ever made in this planet: extremely powerful, with massage, with vocal talent. Feels like I need to get up and start to spin around and dance! Johnny is so underrated. And it's such a pity the wide world have no idea what New Jack Swing is anymore.
I always thought he was saying "I'll be your fair weather friend". After learning what that meant, I couldn't understand why he'd be a fair weather friend but I guess my birthday gift is learning he's saying "I won't be no fair weather friend". Damn...I finally figure that out at 35 years old, hahaha.
Frances Ann Wow, I thought this as well until your post. I thought he was saying, 'I wanna be your fair weather friend.' That always confused me too. I was like, am I missing something lol
What can I say back when a time was true and music made you feel good. Driving down an open road was the best thing jammin to these talented groups and soloist's. You cannot ask for a better feeling in life. I will cherish these younger days forever.
Wrap My body and Feel So Much Better def two of my fav cuts... Real R&B...man we had it good,...and thank heavens we can go back to groove on it because today's music..is just a sad situation.. No Soul, No R&B just garbage..only a few real singers out there right now..too few and far between.
Johnny Gill began working on this album while L.A. Reid and Babyface were putting the finishing touches on 5 songs they produced for *Karyn White*'s debut album. Since White was already in studio, they got her to contribute background vocals on 2 of the songs that they produced for Johnny: _Fairweather Friend_ and _Feels So Much Better_. You can hear Karyn in the background during the refrain, particularly at 4:46 singing, *"Fair . . . weather friend, till the end"*
My little sister's Favorite song, I use to sing it to her all the time....she's KNOWS I won't be no Fairweather Friend 🙂🥰😍😘 I'M ALWAYS THERE, TIL THE END NO MATTER WHAT, MY SISTA, I WILL BE RIGHT THERE FOR YOU EVEN THOUGH STORMY WEATHER TIME AND TIME AGAIN.
A “fair weather friend” is someone who’s around when times are good. When you’re successful, have money, popularity, esteem or something they want out of personal gain. When times are hard, they often aren’t around or there when you need them for support. When things go bad or your life gets stormy so to speak, they don’t come around. Hence, the term “fair weather” friend. Johnny is saying in this he *won’t* be a fair weather friend.
Why we hang on to the safety of these simple times back when music did it's job of inspiring, teaching & easing the soul. .. because Satan didn't make his presence known. Today evil is pervasive in music television and all platforms of influence. We've rejected the power behind peaceful times.. The Prince of Peace 🕊️
HE WILL ALWAYS BE OUR JOHNNY.. THIS IS REAL R&B DON'T CARE WHAT THESE YOUNGSTER SAY OR FEEL. THEY MISS OUT ON REAL MUSIC WE DIDN'T JOHNNY IS ALL OF THAT HIS NEW ABLUM IS A MUST HEAR.. SO LOVING HIM
