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😇💖
@@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.
I always loved this song form day one. But I recently lost my baby brother in 2021 to cancer,and I say with weeping eyes he was the epitome of this song. I listen to it I cry then I dance again. I miss him so much .R.I.H. Thomas E High Tower Jr Mourn u till I join you 😢❤. The part where he's watching her sleep ,just watching over her perod, I swear sometimes when im down I hear his voice. I know it's just wishful thinking 😢😢
Wow may God bless you I'm soo very sorry that u lost your brother due to a very horrible ass diease smh I don't even . Like saying the word I've lost soo many family members to that awful dreadful disease , may the Good Lord and our Saviour Jesus Christ give the strength to be able to carry on everyday with u losing someone so near and dear to you . May he Rip
Maybe so but he got the BEST man to SANG it best male singer ever for me i love the soul and deepness in his voice yes other bruthas have it but not like JOHNNY
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!
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!
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.
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.
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.
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.
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"*
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
I love this video! My, my, my gets all of the balladeer attention but this song was his triumphant song. This was his mid tempo banger. I love the touched by an angel effect and concept of the video.
I still play this album...loved it through and through..wasn't necessary to skip one single song... the 90s kept up the R&B tradition on a new tip... now a days..in music...ooooo...something missing.
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
Still jamming to this classic r and b music for sure and 29 years later still jamming to this song and never get tired of it for sure and still love this song for life
The sad thing is...songs like " There You Go" and " Lady Du Jour" did not get a video due to budgeting probably...Johnny would have been better off...he was signed to Perspective Records with Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis or LA Face with LA Reid and Babyface instead of Motown ...it was like they did not put the necessary resources behind him..he was the closest thing to Luther Vandross for Generation X!
Absolutely...I totally agree!!! He deserved so much more recognition and flowers...His talent spoke volumes...I mean whenever he sung you knew it was him...Distinctive voice like Luther, Micheal and Freddy!
Johnny had that GROWN MAN voice! ❤❤
We need this Era back!❤
Don't we though.
YES LORD!
Yes we do
NOPE . . . it is gone and it AIN'T coming back again --- ever!
Cuz Face and Simmons ain't creating these joints no mo!

I Was 14 Years Old When Johnny Gill's Self-titled Album Was Released One Of My Favorites Fairweather Friend❤🔥
90s all the way. JG was good.

JG was such an amazing talent I remember tha industry didn't know what to do with him.. NE was a perfect bridge for him
I just love johnny gill! Real love makes a person be there no matter what. That is exactly what this video shows!
Love this song! After hearing the lyrics and watching this video, it seems like he's talking about God. 😇
He's not takking sbout God. I get sick of people who think every uplifting song is about God
My favorite Johnny Gill song since I was 9...
This song is so dope 😎
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.

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".

Fly girl from In Living Color.. Lisa was my favorite.
And the finest. Heard she had a brief relationship with Shawn Wayans.
Yeah she was bad
This song makes me want to be a better friend.
I jus love how he sings the song
The 🎶 music is not the same as it was back than, music was good in the 70s an 80s , an 90s nobody today can't touch it.
One of my favorite songs of all time!!!
The music era is gone good music still lives on with these songs
Está música é um arraso da vontade de levantar e sair dançando!🕺👍😁
Yep..love the new JG album..classic stuff...one of the best male vocalist in the game..
I love this video! My, my, my gets all of the balladeer attention but this song was his triumphant song. This was his mid tempo banger. I love the touched by an angel effect and concept of the video.

The sad thing is...songs like " There You Go" and " Lady Du Jour" did not get a video due to budgeting probably...Johnny would have been better off...he was signed to Perspective Records with Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis or LA Face with LA Reid and Babyface instead of Motown ...it was like they did not put the necessary resources behind him..he was the closest thing to Luther Vandross for Generation X!
Absolutely...I totally agree!!!
He deserved so much more recognition and flowers...His talent spoke volumes...I mean whenever he sung you knew it was him...Distinctive voice like Luther, Micheal and Freddy!
