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
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
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
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.
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.
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!
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.
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!
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.
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.
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.
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
Why we hang on to the safety of these simple times back when music did it's job of inspiring, teaching & easing the soul. .. because Satan didn't make his presence known. Today evil is pervasive in music television and all platforms of influence. We've rejected the power behind peaceful times.. The Prince of Peace 🕊️
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"*
Love this song! It came on SIRIUS while with a friend and when we got back to his crib. He was like I don't want a fairweather friend thats bullshit and I replied NO he says he will be there through thick and thin as in fairweather = thru ups and downs. the title of the song is misleading of being a fake friend but thats not it it means through it all.

The summer of 1990. Man, what great music back then. I miss this era of music.
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.
Ms.Shantel I’m still playing this album. Thank God for this type of music cos without I’d be lost. 🙋🏽♀️❤️😁

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!
I love that about him too! He's truly an unsung icon that never got the accolades here deserved!

I just love johnny gill! Real love makes a person be there no matter what. That is exactly what this video shows!

Frances Beaver me too girl at 36 lol
I’m on a JG binge and so much more in love since I was just a kid back then. What a classy handsome man! They don’t make them like this anymore!
Back when music videos focused on telling an actual story.. .
music these days. ..
I swear.. . it's tasteless sorcery
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.
Johnny Gill 2022 Legend of All Time
My favorite Johnny Gill song since I was 9...
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
Sixth grade memories! The reminiscing is so epic! ❤️💯❤️
The name of the song at the beginning is Giving My All To You
This song makes me want to be a better friend.
I Was 14 Years Old When Johnny Gill's Self-titled Album Was Released One Of My Favorites Fairweather Friend❤🔥
I use to listen to this way back in 1990 in my mom old blue Chevy nova

OMG Johnny was SO fine!
This song is so dope 😎
I officially declare this song as my wedding song in future
Johnny was a superstar in this video!
