I really love how you keep these unsung/under appreciated singers, songwriters, producers, etc memories alive by acknowledging their accolades 👏🏾.
I had to chime in I love this channel so many top talented singers, producers, songwriters etc were not acknowledged left to the side my parents would say" I remember him or her, never heard of them" ya channel just justice!!!
Ele o cara
Johnny had such a beautiful voice I never knew he had worked with so many artists. This was my first time watching your channel i truly enjoyed it.
I'm 62 years old and retired Over the Road Truck Driver. There wasn't no internet, satellite TV and cable TV was limited to certain areas. It was just radio stations and the signal was weak, unless you got near the city and town. Theses small town play a lot of Motown music at night. I brought a lot cheap soul music in these small towns. The music was on cassette tapes. It made it easy to travel over the road. Theses artists have no idea how they change the world and touch everyone hearts 💕. They just don't make great music like that anymore. I brought a lot of Albums, 8-Track tapes and cassette tapes. These artists was a genius. Generations wealth and music is the only thing you should pass on to your children and grandchildren ❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉
Verdade amigo
This man deserves to be in the ROCK AND ROLL HALL OF FAME for his early partisanship for motown for his songwriting and a performer,R.I.P, Johnny.
Miss those times. Johnny Jr was one of my classmates along with many other Motown kids in the'70s🤎
john bristol ........ VASTLY UNDER RATED ...........thank u for this history
I love Johnny Bristol. Love takes tears. The lyrics are everything in that song. Go on and dream the flip side. Hang on in there. I love talking bout Baby. Do it to my mind. And he wrote reaching out for your love. Underrated. We must do better honoring our singers and songwriters.
😊😊
Verdade Verdade
Awesome song writer especially during the Motown era
did better AFTER. check all the solo albums. Check "come on back to me lover" by Margie Bristol
I bought one of his singles. "Hang on in There Baby" on MGM. I think he did an outstanding job producing "Someday We'll Be Together" for The Supremes, a Motown classic. It is possible his career did not take off because there were too many similarities in the style to Barry White. You can hear the similarity in some of the singles sampled in this video. Sounds like he had quite a career as a producer anyway.
I TOTALLY AGREE WITH YOU!!! He Was An Awesome Producer!!!❤
I'm really good friends with Johnny Bristol daughter Karla Gordy Bristol & her mom Iris Gordy, Iris used to be married to Johnny. Big love to the Gordy family and Berry Gordy!
My son's Are his great Grand kids... Semaj Bristol-Case and Marcell Bristol -Case... I had them keep his last name and add mine in his memory... Semaj look just like him... 😂
please tell her for me that her Dad was the best of the best and his WIT and CHARM and insight had this gay men loving all his songs to women
Thanks A Million Sir, for Featuring the Stellar Musically Talented Genuis, Mr. Johnny Bristol!❤👏🏼👸 He was SOOO Immensely Talented; and very much Unsung, in The Music Industry. He Contributed Artistically to SO Many Legendary Entertaining Artists! Prayerfully He is Finally Inducted into the National Songwriters Hall of Fame.🎼🎵🎶🎙🎛🎧🎤🎹🙏🏼👑❤️
Yes. I remember his name. I was young back then. Your covering on him is good. I remember his name on records. I could not have imagined, his work filled households, our life and culture. Yes. JB deserves full recognition. Thank you. I am happy to see our culture delivering our historic information so tactfully.
You are taking me back.
I remembered him relating how he hounded JR Walker once every year for over 2yrs so as to get him sing What does it Takes.
Johnny Bristol is one of my favorite singers. I love "Morganton North Carolina" especially.
He was very talented. I didn't realize he produced so many hits that I personally loved 😍
Sad he doesn’t get the love he deserves!! My uncle as well Melvin Ragin aka Wah Wah Watson who also was a Motown rhythm guitarist. He played on Lets Get It On and Papa Was A Rolling Stone and countless hits with one guitar given to him by Ray Parker Jr. RIP unc!!!!!!
I appreciate you, my man!! I agree there are hundreds of black artists, writers and producers who actually had major success at some point in their careers that people either don't know about or remember. It is important that WE tell OUR story lest it be lost, stolen or bastardized. Keep it up and be well, King!!
Thank you for this! I was "introduced" to Johnny Bristol as the composer and male accompanying voice on the Supremes "Someday We'll Be Together". I did not know the Velvelettes originated "These Things Will Keep Me Loving You". I was only familiar with Diana Ross' version. I scrolled through some of your content and said to myself, I need this in my life. Lol. Subscribed.
I worked with Johnny Bristol on a song called it’s too late produced by Patrick Adams. And written by Lamar, Thomas and Judy Taylor, I did the background work at PowerPlay studios in New York Johnny Bristol great voice, great talent. He also wrote the song. Someday we’ll be together recorded by The Supremes great voice, great talent
informative production..!! i knew he was a great writer with Motown , didn't know all the songs he wrote and artist he produced.
I'm born and raised in detroit and know of many of Motown acts, I think I heard of his name but never knew anything about him. Thanks for giving him his flowers I'm sure his family would be proud if they were to see this.
We see it 🖤 And I will say for him myself The love is appreciated from all of you
My Grandma and my Mom grew up in Detroit and my Grandma really liked Johnny Bristol and other Motown artists you mentioned on this vid such as Jr. Walker & the All Stars, The Temptations (David Ruffin) and Gladys Knight and the Pips among others. I grew up listening to this music as my Grandma babysat us after school and during the summers while my Mom worked and played Motown artists all day on her record player that she still had. Hang On There Baby is a great song.
Amo as músicas dele
Didn't Ashford & Simpson write some of the songs you mention for Tammy Terrell & Marvin Gaye? I loved his song Hang on in there baby, he had a very unique and different voice which I liked.
Thank you for taking time to share this information. I was happy to see you mention Tavares who also recorded Positive Forces by Johnny Bristol. I would love to see a video about them on your channel. This effort takes a lot of work and research. I appreciate your efforts.
Valeu ❤
You turn me own! Is so quiet storm popping! I never knew he was a writer and had such a extensive career . Kudos
Really Good job on Johnny Bristol,, Real Research! 🎉🎉🎉 Can you do one on singer, producer, songwriter and multi-Instrumentalist JUNIE MORRISON ??
Johnny Bristol needs to be inducted in other hall of fames especially in music gosh music business did peeps wrong i had to watch Johnny man.❤
He was the man and you are right my we need for their names to be noticed like Johnny Bristol
you held it down with this article. im a big bristol fan, but sadly i never knew about his gift of song writing of great great hits. thanx for taking me back to such wonderful memories. i'm subscribing to your channel.
I have learned so much from ur channel and just love u let us hear some of these great songs
I can't wait for this video. I never heard of him, but I know this video of him will be GREAT!!!!! Keep going.
I have another one for you brother. Patti Drew 1960s hits“Tell Him” “ Working on a Groovy Thing” unsung ✌🏾
Bristol seemed like he wrote better music for others than the tracks he kept for himself.
Mr. Bristol was a man's man among songwriters, producers, and performers from his era.
Your channel is Fabulous man... Awesome stuff!!
I really appreciate that!
Keep up the good work
Mr. Bristol was a very nice person.
REST WELL BELOVED 😢❤ THX FOR SHARING UR GIFT WITH THE 🌍 WORLD IM DOWN FOR SIGNNING A PETITION.
Hey that's Karla's dad🙏🏿❤️💪🏿
Wow he was cold salute!!
Someday We Will Be Together to me is the best song Diana Ross did with different background singers. The background singers were not the original Supremes on that record and they were outstanding.
The Andantes sang background. They were the session singers for a lot of hits.🤎🤎🤎they could really blow.
I love this upload!! Thanks for the info
THANK YOU!!!
I REALLY I
ENJOYED THIS VIDEO. LONG TIME COMING.
AGAIN THANKS.
K,💜
Johnny Bristol never quite achieved his potential as a solo artist. I remember Hang On In There Baby when it was released back in 1974, here in the UK it was a MASSIVE hit reaching No3 on the UK Pop Singles chart. At the same time the Osmonds were at No1 with Love Me For A Reason and Tom Jones had just released his version of Memories Don't Leave Like People Do. It looked as if the devastatingly handsome former Motown staff writer was about to become a soul superstar. But that never happened. Johnny failed to follow up his initial success and the momentum quickly ground to a halt. Despite releasing quality material it just failed to click with the public beyond his core soul base. The man had the looks, the talent and the voice. What went wrong? Listening to his recordings today it really is a mystery as to why he failed to capitalise on his initial success. Johnny Bristol deserves to be remembered today.
Pois hoje eu amo essas músicas
The song was"We've come to far to end it now." by Smokey and the Mircles. Love this song. I remember Johnny Bristol but only Hang on in there baby. I was a kid...
I was 13 in 74'.
Walk in the night was my jam
Let's start the petition process now.
I'm just going to assume that Berry Gordy didn't want him to shine as much as he was trying to shine he had a nice voice I just don't seem to remember him some songs he sounds like Berry white I don't know why I don't remember him thanks for playing the music as well as showing us the music I love that great touch thanks 👍🏽 again
I am a music lover, but I don't think I ever heard of Johnny Bristol. I love the songs he wrote. What a shame he wasn't mentioned in a lot to the Motown documentaries.
I hit my notification button… I’m excited 😊
I know I had to watch Johnny Bristol man.
First time I’m with live audience 😂 I just recently found this channel and have been watching the videos
Welcome to the channel. You will not be disappointed.
Welcome!!
He used to produce David Ruffin
Every time I think of David Ruffin I get sad 😢
@@soniatorres5227 I know
I can't wait
Your information is very insightful. Thank you
Love your videos young one I’m from Michigan I enjoy watching your channel.
Those were the days whenever meaningful music with timeless "Feel Good" love song's were mainstreamed and Jonny Bristol name should be uplifted onto a Devine Supreme pedestal of emotional happiness sprees timelines creator's of good times everlasting meaningful melodic legacy!
🌌😎🌌🎉💥🕊
🗨💥Yep.
😉👐 🤷♀️💥🤷🎛💥🎶🎵
🕺💥💃
Talented and Handsome ❤
My favorite song by him is 'Do it to my Mind'❤ love it!😊
Til this day I've always had an overwhelming attraction to Johnny 😍 his music has always drawn me in especially hang on in there 💃🏿❤️ Rest in Heaven Handsome 🙏🏾
You keep these Artists Names Alive. I can't understand this Talented Songwriter and Singer, Written the Last Song for Diana Ross with the Supremes, Someday, We be Together, And Jr Walker and the All-stars Gotta hold to that feeling. He also written Songs for Marvin Gaye and Tammi Terrell, My Favorite Ain't no mountain high enough. And David Ruffin, My Whole world ended. So Talented, Mr. Johnny Bristol should be in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. RIP Always ❤️❤️🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️🙏🙏❤️💙🙏🙏❤️
Oh that was nice. Well researched. Thanks
from Planetearl oif Raleigh NC "I still listen to Johnny Bristol today the song Morganton NC!!!!!
I really liked his music. I bought his " 13:18 Hang on in There" album when it was released. I still enjoy it. I never understood how his vocal talents weren't recognized. He had a great, distinctive voice. His tune "Do it to My Mind" still sounds so contemporary!
Johnny Bristol wrote a handful of hits for Jr. Walker. "Someday We'll Be Together" were intended for Jr. Walker to record at first but he wasn't too thrilled about it, then produced it on The Supremes and became a blockbuster smash.
That Autry De Walt ( Jr) wasnt fund of singing, Bristol also had problems to get him singing WHAT DOES IT TaKES.
@@anclark2063 That's true!! Because at first he didn't want to sing the song "Shotgun". He invited a guy named Fred Paton to do the vocals on the song, but Fred didn't show up for the session. The song almost didn't happen until Berry Gordy suggested that he sing it and the rest is history.
@@marvinwhittaker Bristol informed soul fans how he got Jr Walker to sang.. What does it Takes, by chance did you ever saw it?
@@anclark2063 Yeah but What Does It Takes was a whole different formula of what he was accustomed to playing. See Jr. Walker was down home, soulful doing all of that yelling on a record, but What Does It Takes was soft and sweet. Jr. Walker didn't record with strings and background vocals on his earlier records. Come See About Me (Junior) was the first song that featured background vocals.
Fun fact Someday isn't really a Supremes song as it only has Diana Ross singing on it. Berry Gordy intended it to be her first solo single but was sure it would go #1 and so he decided it would make a great swan song for her Supremes exit. Also Johnny is actually singing on the record. It's said Diana was tired so during recording , so Johnny got in the studio to sing along with her( Say it, say it, say it again) to ramp up her energy.
Absolutely. Johnny Bristol has been forgotten. He is one of the Kings of Songwriting. Always loved him. Yes. I appreciate all that you do.
Thank for this I love the old nusic and know most of the songs,but know who they were by, THANKS FOR THE INFO
Johnny was a beast back in the days his hottest track in my opinion is “ she came into my life “ was a classic his music will live for generations 💯
Excellent presentation deserving of so much more..RIP
I'm not sure I've ever heard this man's name and I THOUGHT I knew music.🤔 Thanks for the education!!
A fabulous talent and a superb voice. Man Up In the Sky and I Wouldn`t Change a Thing are my particular favourites and are on several of my playlists.
My favorite song by Mr. Bristol is Do it to my mind❤🔥
Greetings brother love your show and I agree with you 💯 about getting all of these heroes into the hall of fame because so many artists with less accomplishments than them are in there please let know what I can do.
I've always had this overwhelming attraction to Johnny for over 40 years ! Yep ! RIP Handsome 🙏🏾❤️ Hang on in there is my favorite !
Profiles in Pittsburgh Allegheny County PA would you like to say thank you for being one of the top men of music that entered the Air Force you gave to our country and it took a long time for us to realize who you are England has a part that's called Bristol County play truly loved him over there was Chuck Jackson and Tommy hunt it made CZcams video these three great men Nora Parker family from Black Mountain North Carolina our family came to Pittsburgh in 1901 build a Presbyterian Church 1927 music was our greatest love thanks again for this memory of this great writer I will be glad to sign the petition I'm thankful he's in the North Carolina Hall of Fame hallelujah amen❤
My sons are his great Grand kids... Semaj Bristol-Case and Marcell Bristol -Case.... Had them keep his last name and add mine out of his memory...
DAMN!!!!! I like every one of those songs but didn't know Johnny Bristol was behind them.
Really love his songs ❤
I LOVE MR BRISTOL MUSIC. YOU DID AND EXCELLENT JOB. HE IS SO UNDERRATED. RIP MR "JOHNNY BRISTOL"
🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️
One of the sexiest man ever. When I first heard his speaking voice, I almost fainted. He just has it all. He had two children with his first wife. A boy and a girl.
His duet with the amazing Amii Stewart was a hit in my country : FRANCE
I made a couple beats off the Hang On In There Baby album. Both are dope👊🏼
Berry Gordy and Smokey are still around. All it would take is a phone call and this could be made straight.
I loved Johnny's song when I was young, only now i know what he looks like, so handsome. A friend still owes me £10 because he said it was Barry white who sang hang on there baby.
On some of his songs he sounds like Barry White, including the music.
You didn't mention GO ON AND DREAM
RIP to my great grandfather iam one of his great grand children Semaj Bristol-case 🗣️
He favors marvin gaye
Unsung indeed
Who was Jackson's sisters I would like to know them and all they the original Jackson with the Jackson 5
I know Ashford and Simpson wrote "Aint no mountain high enough". So was Brisotol a producer on that song?
Yes
@@WBPTV thanks
Man, you got those songs jumbled up.
Gente ainda esta vivo ele
Don't know if he is alive or has passed away...I will say thanks.God/Jesus is the waymaker..GOD IS Good...One of his Tammy and Marvin songs(Precious Love) was instrumental in the conception... birth of Me..According to my Parents..
He had some hits 😅
Are you familiar with the term, (the song writer secret)?
...I thought Ashford and Simpson were the writers and producers of Marvin Gaye and Tami Terell???
They were, but Johnny & Harvey Fuqua produced their initial songs for the duo.
I REALLY LIKE WHAT YOU DO BUT SOME OF YOUR INFO IS NOT RIGHT. I SENT YOU MESSAGE B 4. BUT I LIKE IT, KEEP GOING
Your precious love is written by Ashford and Simpson not Johnny Bristol
Johnny & Harvey Fuqua produced it.
I do not know this man John Bristol was from North Carolina.
