My first time hearing this was actually on the MTV Unplugged album featuring Uptown artists. His live performance of this song is phenomenal 🔥🔥. Omg the voice and passion is incredible.
He was sooo fine back in the day. He was in New Jack City and is the nephew of jazz singer Ella Fitzgerald. He has a duet with Mary J. Blige - Good Lovin'
That New Jack Swing era....Christopher Williams voice and bass, spicy. He sang live not too long ago, oh my goodness, he was a voice to reckon with back then and still today! Gorgeous then and still quite dashing....."I"m Dreamin" okay, I'm crushing still after decades...dag....
Christopher Williams,like Will Downing has one of the most underrated vocals in R&B.I wish more current R&B male singers had a deep, powerful voice like Christopher. This is one of his best tracks. It is sensual and soulful.
While R&B was more dominant in years past, it always seemed like a weird thing how some artists hits/sales just never matched the level of their caliber of music. From CW in the 90s to the Elle Varner's and Amerie's of the 2000s, it's always been like that. Eventually I realized the machine pushing behind your name/brand was just as important (and now even more important) than your talent and music, period...
Definitely strange because he has it all - looks, height, charisma, and amazing voice. I have a feeling some of it may have been self destructive behavior and some of it might be related to people thinking he was the one who beat Halle Berry, which he vehemently denies.
I just gasped and squealed. I was just thinking about him after watching the Al B. Sure- produced Tevin Campbell reactions. One of my favorite voices. Also was the “pretty m-fer” in the movie New Jack City and is on the soundtrack.
Legendary voice Chris did his thang on this one. Is there any singer out here that comes close Teddy Pendergrass it is my brother Christopher Williams that’s all I am saying.
When he first came out they was calling him the next teddy Pendergrass, I heard he had a huge disagreement with the label he was on, something like him throwing a couch through a glass wall at the labels office
Love it!❤❤❤ Been on my playlist. Does it have a “Midnight Love” sound? BET used to have a late night video show that played slow, romantic songs. That’s how found Robin Thicke, they played “Lost Without You” all the time.

Was a great album to see come to fruition - My father worked on it with many others at Geffen

This is one of his best tracks. It is sensual and soulful.
CLASSIC
One of my favorites
I love me some Christopher Williams!!Hoarce Brown is singing background on this.
This is the comment I was looking for. I knew somebody would catch the Horace Brown vocals.
Yea....I hear it now
This was my crush in high school❤❤...love this dude❤❤❤
I can see the attraction Demetria😉❤️….WOW‼️
Not alone.
I was just going to request a Christopher Williams song.
Definitely wanna check out more music from him! I really enjoyed this one
No words ❤❤❤.
I love your reaction. His voice is so unique, and this album is a fire❤❤
One of my favorite voices.
Fun Fact: Christopher said that he wrote this for/about Stacey Dash (actress), his then-girlfriend (and baby mama).
Fun facts: Christopher Willams and AL B Sure are cousins. Also Christopher has an adult son named Austin with the actress Stacey dash.
His whole album was fire actually. Why he didn't become more famous than what he was, was strange.

He’s Soulful
They were pushing AL B Sure, who did not have the talent like Christopher Williams. Politics, jealousy, and other things were working against him.😮
Ok ok ok whoever's made this request Good Job haven't heard this in a minute 😩🔥
another Devante classic
This my jam❤❤
Do Christopher Williams - Every Little Thing You Do.
Yes, that's a good one. 🎶It's the way you move me🎶
💗
Wow Jack! Didn't know you reacted to this one. Great song, great voice, great vibe. Christopher Williams could set the mood!😀
Christopher Williams had some great hits. You must check out his Apolo live performance with the amazing Stephanie Mills singing Feel Me.
Listen to Tony Terry With You, Everlasting Love all from 1990.
Yes i remember this track ..its nice going back.down memory lane 🤗
I've always loved this song...Horace Brown on background vocals and I believe he produced this as well...not certain
produced by Devante Swing (of Jodeci)
Oh that makes sense I hear Horace
Still love this song.
I just gasped and squealed. I was just thinking about him after watching the Al B. Sure- produced Tevin Campbell reactions.

DAMN CHRIS! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
He had some hits....great reaction...
GREAT SANGER👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾

Good request Michael Bridges🌟, I like this one. I was just listening to I talk to myself by him.
Oh my it's so smooth OMG damn 😍😍🔥🔥🔥 great song too y'all much love 💜💜💜
When he first came out they was calling him the next teddy Pendergrass, I heard he had a huge disagreement with the label he was on, something like him throwing a couch through a glass wall at the labels office

3:47, 4:18 & 6:12 First time hearing this one and
Oh my, this man is singing for his life! He hangry singing 🙊 😂 straight yearning. Nice!
You have been deprived! There’s more - check it out!
@@brynneholt1990 haha, maybe! Am definitely gonna check out more of this guy. Wonder what his talking voice sound like. Hmm? 🤗
@@Olivia-ui4cuWatch New Jack City. He's in it. His speaking voice is just as sexy.
Classic soul
Do Promises by him next.
I appreciate the recommendation!
This song was about Stacy Dash-they have a child together.
Love it!❤❤❤ Been on my playlist.
Does it have a “Midnight Love” sound? BET used to have a late night video show that played slow, romantic songs. That’s how found Robin Thicke, they played “Lost Without You” all the time.
I totally forgot about that show. I found Robin Thicke and Amy Winehouse from VH1 Soul.
The WHOLE Album was totally fire! 🔥🔥🔥🔥... You just have to react to more... You will not be disappointed.
Fire
Yup, I had this tape. He was so hot he’d melt the chrome off a motorcycle ❤❤❤
Chis and AL B. Sure are cousins.
Not really. People just said that because they were light skinned. Lol
@@brynneholt1990 oh I thought they were blood related 🤔
I love your channel
React to Christopher Williams- “ Dance for me”.
I have to say Jack. This is the dude you look like 😂
