What most people didn’t know about Ja’Net Dubois is that she co-wrote one of the most famous TV themes of all time. She co-wrote the theme song to the The Jefferson’s “Moving on Up” and that is her singing the song at the start of each episode. RIP Ja’Net we loved you.
RIP Ja'net duBois. Everything from _Good Times_ to _The Jeffersons_ as well as _I'm Gonna Git You Sucka_ and _Wayans Bros_ not to mention _The PJs_ played a big role in my upbringing. Rest in heaven. 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Rest In Power We Thank you. I wanted to keep this short and sweet, but this is Wilona Woods. She represents so many Black women from my childhood including my Sassy 1st cousins on my maternal side and 2nd cousins on the paternal side. Babysitters that danced and laughed and mesmerized me with their huge afros and mini-skirts in the 1970s. Wilona's character was a whole handful with a big heart and she will be missed. This is why representation matters. Ja'net DuBois was auntie, big cuz, and like family through the marvel of television. We honor her work and life. #RestInPower 💜
Willona was the best dressed woman in the projects! Watching you help make television watching a ‘Good Time’ in the 70s. May you Rest In Peace Ms. Du’Bois.
Even when I was 10 years old watching Good Times I could tell Willona was fine as hell. She did indeed entertain millions with Good Times with her beauty, wit and talent. RIP to a television legend, Ja'net Dubois.
Growing up watching Good times with my family it was quality time and laughter. Undoubtedly, Jan'et Dubois playing, one of the most endearing television characters, with such style and urban chic,Ms.Woods,she worked hard,gossiped, and was a loyal friend to Florida and the Evan's household.We lost another great one.Rest in Power. 👑😪
I was so very saddened to hear about Ja’net’s passing... She was such a delight as Willonna on a “Good Times” and I loved her guest appearance on Jimmy Kimmel’s version a few months ago. What an amazing woman. An actor, a singer, a painter, an entrepreneur, a mother, a phenomenal woman and great talent. We will miss you. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️😞😞😞😞
Nowadays, many people don't even know their neighbors, or ever attempt to get to know them. The world is so different now compared to the 70s when Good Times was on the air.
Wilonas character really did add that extra flavor to the show. Between her failed relationships, her career, her friendship, to her motherhood. She was relatable to so many who watched the show.
By far, one of the best tributes to a solid career on a single show that I've ever seen. Thanks for this. I remember every entrance of ever episode. RIP JD.
Thank you JaNet Dubois aka, Willona Woods, I grew up watching her on TV she kept it classy, sassy and fly. This too, feels like a personal loss and has the tears flowing. God bless her children and may the Lord give them peace .
To which James always replied " Well if it ain't the Rona Barrett of the Projects!" Lol Rona Barrett was a gossip columnist for those who don't know! RIP Willona aka Jan'et Dubois!
Thanks so much for the memories. I grew up watching this show...& Ja’net Dubois was a big part of the attraction to watch....entertaining & good looking with attitude galore. True soul sister. Thanks for allowing us to watch you do your thing while here on earth. Blessings to her family & friends & fans.
Loved her. Omg. Those clothes and hair style. She always rocked it with her style. She will def be missed. Now she saying Hi Y'all in heaven. Rest in paradise Ja'net Dubois🙏🙏🙏
Hottest and most fashionable neighbor in the projects. Rest in heaven beautiful lady!!!! All those entrances back to back got a sister a little queasy! But I still enjoyed them and remembered what episode it was from too. 💕
There has never been a character like Willona. Who else can just barge into her neighbor's apartment without knocking or barely knocking? I don't think anyone else could play Willona but Ja'net DuBois. Ja'net was a trailblazer and paved the way. Thank you Ms. DuBois for your influence. Rest In Power Ja'net.
Great video!!!! You knew when Wilona made her big smiling appearance..... things were about to get REAL!!!!! Wise-cracks would start flying, insults started being passed out and the truth was about to be told!! Thanks for the reruns... and thanks for the laughter “Wilona.” 💜
Wilona really had it going on. For someone who probably lived in the worst projects in Chicago, she was well put together. I don't think she repeated one outfit. Her whole apartment must be one walk in closet. 🤣😂
Rest On, 🙏Beautiful Queen. Opening the door to heaven Now. I am always watching Good times. I been watching my fav show, since I was a teenager back in the day. Condolences, To the family. Amen.
I know Wilona and Florida are up in heaven gossiping right about now talking about the Good Times Rip Ms. Ja’ net Dubois.. what a Beautiful Woman u were🕊🕊🕊🕊🕊🕊🕊🕊🕊🕊🕊🕊🕊🕊🕊🕊🕊🌹🌹🌹🥀🌹🥀🌹🥀🌹🥀
She burst in Heaven saying, "Hi, y'all!" Rest in Heavenly peace, Ms. Dubois.

@@JamilleCarter not a boutique..... "the boutique".. ha!

RIP Willona. We love you.
Her clothes was always in style
I loved her singing "Moving on Up" on The Jeffersons but liked her even better singing the rolling credits just cooly humming slowly
And then at the end she sings, " Movin', Movin' on up hay-a-yay..." Love it...
A fashion Icon...people got there style from her and Soul Train....
So fly everytime!!!!
And she didn't miss a beat
Watching all these entrances by Willona makes me smile for some reason. I loved this show and her character was great!

I can't get over this loss of this sweet lady.
DAMN DAMN DAMN!
Her wardrobe was always fabulous! Thank you for this!
And God was just sitting down to supper when she come busting through the pearly Gates sayin "hi y'all"
Even when I was 10 years old watching Good Times I could tell Willona was fine as hell. She did indeed entertain millions with Good Times with her beauty, wit and talent. RIP to a television legend, Ja'net Dubois.
RIP JaNet Dubois. She was one fine well dressed sistah
I’m convinced Wilona was getting at least a 60% employee discount at the boutique. She was ALWAYS dressed to kill!
Amen to that! She was always on point!
KV James RIGHT!!
Well you know she was required to look nice at the job, so they probably have her items too.
She’s only asked if she was intruding once 😭😭😭😭😭😭
She was family !
😂😂
She gave the best entrances. Beautiful smile and a wardrobe to match. She will sorely b missed. RIP
RIP in Peace....everybody's favorite Auntie/Godmother
Willona was so fly and fine!! RIP Ja’net 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
Love this! RIP beautiful lady! Loved her outfits, hair & accessories! She was the life of the party!
What a stylish, elegant woman. Thank you. Ms duBois for your talent and contribution to this series. Rest in Peace.
OMG she reminds me of my mom with that smile, witty, and especially that fashion!!!oh how I remember those days...
that is just like how i grew up. We never locked our doors.
R.I.P. Janet Dubois A black woman of class.
I smiled the entire time watching this. RIP Willona.
She had style and fashion, not to mention poised and beautiful!

I must have seen this show a million times because each one second entrance i knew the exact episodes they belonged to.
Nowadays, many people don't even know their neighbors, or ever attempt to get to know them. The world is so different now compared to the 70s when Good Times was on the air.
Wilona stayed slayed! I would wear some of her looks today! RIP...
And no ones going to even talk about how ahead of times even her wigs were. Her wig game was really really on point.
Wilonas character really did add that extra flavor to the show. Between her failed relationships, her career, her friendship, to her motherhood. She was relatable to so many who watched the show.
By far, one of the best tributes to a solid career on a single show that I've ever seen. Thanks for this. I remember every entrance of ever episode. RIP JD.
Thank you JaNet Dubois aka, Willona Woods, I grew up watching her on TV she kept it classy, sassy and fly. This too, feels like a personal loss and has the tears flowing. God bless her children and may the Lord give them peace .
I’m heartbroken! Rest easy Ja’Net ❤️
She was my tv auntie growing up and she will be dearly missed but her memories will still warm our hearts always!
To which James always replied " Well if it ain't the Rona Barrett of the Projects!" Lol Rona Barrett was a gossip columnist for those who don't know! RIP Willona aka Jan'et Dubois!
Lol my grandmother use to watch her gossip reports on Good Morning America when I was a kid.
I rember James saying I rember Rona Barritte😂😂😂😂😂🤗🤗🤗🤗
Rona Barrett is still alive 😂
Steve Endicott lol yep we knew. Still funny though! 😂😂😂
Had no idea who rona was
And Willona stayed slayed too head to toe every episode, pure class 💎
Love the outfits she was so classy, sassy and sophisticated rest on sweet😇
The jazziest woman on TV during this time! RIP!
