Johnny Gill - Fairweather Friend

[edyszewy]

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.

[COMPFUNK2]

This is NOT Fairweather Friend; it's Giving My All to You.

[gadget609]

@COMPFUNK2 thats just in the intro song starts after the first one fades

[TheRenstarmusic]

@COMPFUNK2 Its "Fairweather Friend"

[TheRenstarmusic]

@COMPFUNK2 0:50 is when it starts...

[Espace109]

This is when MUSIC was MUSIC! JC  had smooth and strong voice not only could he sing he could play his own music. Today most of these so called music artist can't read a note a musical score or write one. Are Their any music teachers out in the world?

[ADB707]

Whos the 2 of y'all that dislikes Johnny G? hahahahaa

[ericgarner27]

Johnny Gill has to come back.This guy has skills and needs to put out another albulm.I miss his music!!!

[BlaqueReign25]

@ericgarner27 He actually has a brand new album out right now, he was on 106 and Park premiering his new video back in Sept or Oct. Its quite unfortunate that the album has recieved much attention because its great, it's classic JG and the video he put out its great too, but of course it gets no love on 106 because he's not one of the garbage people they like to play on there. SMH.

[gospelevans]

my fav johnny gill song

[amadowaa]

my song..........makes me weak....



[Msadriiiable]

I LOVE THIS SONG!!!!

[IgboJu]

Great song!

[MultiJazzmaster]

Everytime I listen to this cat I go back in time to a period when life was a

beautiful thing. As for today's styles and music, man we was through with

it before the youngsters knew what to do with it and even now most of em

still cant understand the true flow and are reduced to dubbing our beats.

People knock the Disco era but man if you lived it and experienced the

grooves, you laugh at those who knock it. True R&B is gone because the

original funksters have crossed over. Heavens gain.

[torr5962]

@MultiJazzmaster amen to that 

[basherman69]

Johnny Gill's first solo album was the first CD I ever acquired.

[richlove404]

I hope that they will be an instrumental for this song.

[prettebrownskin4432]

This was my song as a kid...eventhough I had no clue what a Fairweather Friend was...lol

[ExtraChocolate80]

This is my favorite Johnny Gil song!! New Edition was the bomb in the 80's, even as solo acts.

[mezzo1741]

@ExtraChocolate80 I know. It's something how I can listen to one of them or the other depending on what kind of mood I'm in. They all had their own flavor. For example, this song always gets me into a positive mood and so does Ralph Tresvant's Sensitivity or Money Can't Buy You Love or Bobby Brown's Tenderoni & On Our Own to name a few. I like Ricky Bell's See You Smile Again and BBD's I Thought It Was Me. They are my all time favorite group and they have stood the test of time....

[SuperSoulSeeker]

Okay I was about to say...

Right on here it comes. Won't be no fairweather friend, I'll be there to the end.

[black10872]

chris brown got nothing on this guy.

[PIOSystems]

Classic...always like listening to this...also I had enough 'Fair Weather' friends in my life.

[KarmalBeauty]

Johnny Gill is one of the most underrated male vocalists of our time. Thank you for posting this joint cuz it's BANANAS!!! Hotep!!! :o)

[DADLEGION]

TOO BAD R&B & RAP ARE SHIT NOW DAYS BOO HOO!!!!!

[ShemiticOne]

[FuuKwon]

[4818632]

[chevretto93]

[dashenell2010]

[portia2727]

I miss the 80s and 90s :-(

[pushplaywithjay]

Thank goodness for YouTube. We get to remember when jams like this existed. It's hard to believe that they did when you listen to the shit that is being put out today. It's f-ing sad.

[basherman69]

This song is 20 years old. Where did the time go? What happened to good music like this song? :)

[richlove404]

@basherman69 21 years ago.

[basherman69]

@richlove404 Wow, I made that post nearly a year ago. As I said. where did the time go?

[EFunkRock]

The summer of 1990. Man, what great music back then. I miss this era of music.

[jusbillz100]

[urblegend79]

Music has truly, truly fallen dawg. And it's a damn shame because there are some artists out there that can actually sing. But times have changed...that's the sad but honest truth.

[TheFIRSTFatJohn]

Ooh! Good job of incorporating the "Giving My All To You" start of the home video. Both songs and this whole CD album were amazing.

[orangeburg35]

Thru the bad times my baby.. I will be ur sunshine.. Then lets the piano rifts.. Go ahead..man..

[MrRicklewisw]

I love Johnny's Magical powers. Ima try to stop a cab like that........lol

[Dedokai32]

this is one for the collection, really don't make em like this anymore

[soulking112]

love it!

[MaddogVGS]

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.

[dashenell2010]

@MaddogVGS true dat...true dat!!

[harpchadha]

what a track, must have heard it a thousand times and never saw the vid - nice one

[karawanmann]

this is the best song i know, when it comes to music i'm living in the past because todays music is nothing magic anymore like this masterpiece is...

[DonMack279]

Man how far has music fallen since these days

[djblacjamz]

@DonMack279 This was the time when public internet was not born.. noone had a PC or sumthin' like that @home... only a Record or CD Player... Music has fallen because of ppls how want to know where they can get music for free.. that's the fact!

[orangeburg35]

@DonMack279 ....Yep.. Even my 18/15 year old girls be copping my older cds and tapes... Maybe Raheem Devaughn may take it back in this direction....

[broke2471]

@DonMack279 - I agree with you on that one bruh....music is so bad now, I'm just glad we have Johnny and other R&B groups and solo artist of the past to listen to.

[SPAMusubiHalau]

@DonMack279 I can't answer that...because it's still falling.

[timotheus1234567]

@DonMack279 it has fallen aaaallllllll tttthhhhhaaaa wwwaaaayyy dddooowwwnnn. it has fallen down so far that its in hell. str8 garbage. this is real catchy music.

[dashenell2010]

@DonMack279 i kno rite?? u aint neva lied!!!!

[aseang74]

@DonMack279 A very, very long way

[skins4life21taylor]

@DonMack279 yea thank god for youtube because it's not even close

[KarmalBeauty]

@DonMack279 I agree... Music has been so "dumbed down" these days! It's frustrating and sad. But, hopefully some folks will be able to bring back this type of stuff back to the game! :o)

[jsquarred04]

Yo.... wasnt the chick in this video a Fly Girl on In Living Color??

[missdivajimi]

I thought that was her but I dont know

[bornwithaBA]

Yup! Heard her first name is Lisa.

[kikivive1]

loco140! Amen!!!!!!

[GRABBING77]

thank you for the video

[missdivajimi]

What is the name of the song in the beginning of this video?

[jkalm4ofus]

wrap my body tight

[kittycream7]

This is a hot joint here. Meow- I love everything about this song: hot track, slamming vocals and the background vocals are always on point. Being that this is a LaFace track with backing vocals of Johnny Gill, Karyn White and Daryl Simmons, it's hot. Meow- Karyn's voice is present throughout the track. Meow

[kittycream7]

@musiclover3928 : Correction: Pebbles does Backgrounds on "Feel So Much Better" along with Karyn White, Johnny Gill and Daryl Simmons. Karyn White is the only female doing back-up in between Johnny and Daryl. I have the CD to prove it! Meow

If you listen to "Feel So Much Better"; Pebbles and Karyn White are the ones singing the response part to Johnny's calling part. I am an avid background specialist- I know my back-ups thank U! Meow

[bryanb16th]

anyone know the name of the first song in this video?

[bryanb16th]

@bryanb16th nevermind. I figured it out.

[MsBeall502]

Alright!!!!

[loco140]

I love his lips!

[Ellasings7]

Old skool music was the bomb. Love this cut!. class of 1988.

Aint nothing better than 80's soul. BET IN THE 80'S...

[musiclover3928]

this track came out in 1990 not the 80s.

[musicminor25]

Laface Funk!!! I Love This Jaunt!!!

[dwaygregjon]

john's voice is very unique, you know it when you here it!

[vdjdtx]

Much thanx for posting this vid.... this is one of my fav songs from JG... we all need a Fairweather Friend!

[floresed]

Let them have it Johnny!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[MrNytn2001]

Oh man! Now these were the days!! "Flyte Tyme" and "LaFace"

going head to head, and we all benefitted from their friendly rivalry and music hitmaking competition.

So here's to Lonell Antonio Reid, Terry Lewis, Kenny Edmonds, and James Harris the third!

THANX GUYS!!!

[iluvrachellef]

Now this is a video!!U youngters take note,this is from the VIDEO SOUL days boy do i miss them!Johnny had music out b4 HALF CRAZY,i think that was on his second album!!

[Kelendria4Life]

OMG I didn't know Lisa Marie Todd was in this video. Does anyone else know what other videos she was in?

[milat87]

johnny voice is amazing... love this song

[milat87]

why dont they make music like this anymore!

[4818632]

Adding Johnny to New Edition was one of the best moves ever.

[Azoilu]

i totally AGREE!!!

[NinoBrown23]

where was this ripped from? a DVD? I must have it.

[dwaygregjon]

this song makes me think aout my son. I'm his fairweather.

[KBoogs719]

you are not giving yourself a complement, a fairweather friend is one who is only around what the weather is good or fair, that's y he says he WON'T be a fairweather friend. youngster, no person my age would say that

[KBoogs719]

i meant, when the weather is good or fair

[dwaygregjon]

I'm mean not a fairwether friend. I'm a good friend Ha,ha, my mistake.

[KBoogs719]

its all good brotha man

[q959fm]

Lame until 0:54. Then it's okay.

[tazzmachazz]

the first song playing, giving my all to you is a great song.

[Sakkara1331]

the beginning is not a prelude, it's actually part of another song..

[sixfobrutha]

Great fu--in song!!!!!!!!!!

[gingerjenn38]

thanks for the video, didn't like the prelude to get to the actual song though...and i am the biggest Johnny fan let alone i had mad love for New Edition.

[4818632]

I love this video and Johnny's dancing makes me laugh in a good way.

[4818632]

I think I must have broken up with a boyfriend when this song came out because I swore Johnny was singing the song to me at the time.

[jdunn85]

Johnny has one of the best voices of any male singer peroid!!!

[Kwanze]

Johnny gill is the shit!!!!

[Stunna30]

The girl is Lisa Marie Todd. She was one of the original Fly Girls from In Living Color. I had the biggest crush on her.

[Kelendria4Life]

I didn't even know Lisa was in this video! How cute xx

[cloverfield00]

johnny gill and the girl in the crystal ball are awesome dancers,everytime i see johnny gill i think of karen parsons from fresh prince of belair.

[mignonhenne]

i also like " the floor"....

[cloverfield00]

i totally agree,this song and the floor is fiyah.

[therebelofficial]

haha I just zoned out and then listened to the rest good lookin' out

[vfreeck]

"Fairweather Friend" starts at roughly :50 seconds.

[therebelofficial]

[leleyoungg]

[Landry2623]

thanks for puttin this back up

[liketohavefun2007]

i think Johnny Gill back then, reminds me of todays Chris Brown. :)

[floresed]

who the hell is Chris Brown!! please, don't pollute this forum and compare this cat to the AMAZINGLY TALENTED JOHNNY GILL. Johnny's voice has no equal.

[Dedokai32]

...no..just...no@liketohavefun­2007

[bgsufalcon2009]

Great song!

[liketohavefun2007]

indeed! i loved Johnny Gill, when he first joined the group New Edition.
