The 80s and 90s were the BEST times for music. No wonder those songs are still so HOT today as they were back then. Most of the new music now is temporary nonsense. Like clothing styles, can the music style of back then come back! Don't wake me... I am dreaming.... Just let me sleep! Don't wake me up till my dream is complete!
I remember wearing my cross colors overalls with 1 strap hangin down rockin my s curl going to house parties getting at the older girls lmfao those was the days..
he was sooo fine!! lol I never knew who he was until today.. new jack is actually one of my favorite eras of music although I was very young during that time. This guy's voice is incredible! He has a slight michael mcdonald thing goin on.. I might be the only one who hears that
This song was such a perfect fit 4 the soundtrack of NEW JACK CITY,& they got the perfect voice to sing it.It was the tightest song on a great sdtrk 2 me,u cant help but sing along.The best thing about it is that Christopher Williams still got it,& he's even better.Big ups to TVONE 4 showing his story....COME ON BACK CHRIS R&B NEEDS YOU!!!!
I was watching Life After and I'm like 'he was from that movie ...the accountant working for CMB..... New Jack City. The man is talented had all the potentcy of Teddy Pendergrass, Jodeci, and R. Kelly. Too bad he was overlooked due to the entertainment industry politic bullshit!!
great track. this takes me back. gotta love that new jack swing. also really enjoyed another soundtrack he did for gunmen "stranger in my life". thinking of adding mr. williams to the collection as well.
You know, after watching this dude's "tragic" story on TV1 last night (my on-screen TV Guide is fucked! It said the A.J. Johnson story was supposed to be on @ 10. It wasn't. She was the one I wanted to see! But she's on next week), I just had to have the damn hook to this old-school jam in my damn head all fuckin' day. So, you know I had to come on here and watch the whole damn video! Lol! Does bring back a few memories...don't remember seeing this video back then, but I do remember his...
..."Soul Train" performance with this song featured. Takes me back to early-90's BK just before the 90's became known for something else in NYC. Shit changed in our city--my borough (I moved Uptown to The BX in early-'92)--20 years ago in just a matter of years. All those damn guns...ironic, 'cause isn't that what "New Jack City" was about?
I just hope I can get that damn hook out of my dome before tomorrow--Friday. I don't wanna go nut (PAUSE!) over it. Schumann went mad from that. :D
Watching the Life After special right now on him and never knew that is Ella Fitzgerald's nephew...and I actually worked with his son some years ago a music store!
@JASONFIED I was too! Wow. He is very talented. That whole Halle Berry thing was a trip. I think with the right song and backing he could make a comeback. Same audience still like him. He still fine! Lol.
the 90s... there may have been a lot of crack and a ridiculously high rate of violence, but you cannot deny the simplicity of that era compared to the 21st century. even though i was only about 6 or 7, i really miss it.
I loved this song as a kid and still do! Love the opening music. Makes me wanna dance- do the Roger Rabbit. Who remembers that dance? What ya'll know bout that? LOL......
@MsSexyDiva4Lyfe Yep n when Nino stabbed Kareem(Chris)in the hand , the end of the pretty lightskin cat wit da good hair being the official ladykilla era..That opened the door for all us dark brothers ... I never liked u anyway,pretty muthafucka! lmao
Im a little upset . This guy need to come out with a new cd 2011. He still has talent . Imagine his voice on todays sounds , dam I seriously got goosebumbs . We love you Chris , dude dont wait for a major label , please do it yourself . Young producer today grew up listening to you . Your that deal man !
NEW JACK CITY..AND THE NEW JACK SWING TEACHES US THAT WITH A LITTLE EFFORT YOU CAN COME UP WITH SOMETHING NEW AND DIFFERENT..IM SO TIRED OF PEOPLE JUST REDOING OLD MUSIC...
I was 10 years old when this tune come out, and I love it just as much now as I did then. Makes me miss these days. So much better than the music of today.
I used to do a mean running man and roger rabbit to this song. Ahh those were the days not a care in the world except for homework and being kid, so glad I was born in the 80's so I could enjoy music like this. Now where is that darn time machine, I know its around here somewhere.
@tbursee Oh man, you were lucky. I think I was just starting high school when this song came out. I know the black colleges were bumping in the late 80's early 90's. It must have been so much fun! :o)
Now this is real R&B. When I look back at the how great the music was in the 80's and 90's compared today, it pisses me off to no end. The quality of music has been reduced to pig shit and everyone is listening to third rate rap music and slut pop.
@iamsofly08 No I think Christopher has his on unique sound and style.Michael McDonald is a bad white boy with his sound the Doobie Brothers never sounded good after Michael quit the group.
