Thank you for doing the group Heatwave. Johnnie Wilder Jr's voice was absolutely amazing. His range was unmatched. May all the group members that passed Rest in Paradise.
Quincy Jones, snuck in and destroyed this group!! It was Quincy that stole Robb from heatwave and in my opinion had a Lott to do with Johnny's alleged car accident!!! But Johnny wasn't that nice of a person to his band mates that made it easier for Rob to make that jump.... Johnny ran that group like a slave master with a whip..... Johnny bullied them boys..... Quincy was jealous of johnny and made sure Heatwave never made real ground in the USA.....
Ohio is without question the absolute cradle of funk! Slave, Ohio Players, Heatwave, Lakeside and so many others! Johnnie is easily in my top five singers ever!
@@lindenbyass6902 I didn't forget believe me! You could go on and on listing talent from that area (Junie Morrison for example)! Something special was going on there back in the day!
@braviafeed so true. I was growing up in that era and that was some of the best music of all times! Ohio had it going on with the talent then. And I'm sure there's more out there today..
Man..............Drac from Slave drove me to a little park in Dayton Ohio in 1982 after I joined as lead singer. Drac, was my best friend in Slave and he really surprised me. We rolled into this little park and in front of me appeared this happy looking man with an incredible smile in a wheel chair as we got closer I realized that It was Mr. Johnnie Wilder Jr. .......Drac knew that he was my favorite singer! Once introduced, He hugged me and wished me the best in my journeys! I will never forget that day.....Thank you for giving this Great man a proper speak here this is really needed and very exiting.
Ya know...i have no idea which park we went to but Drac really surprised me I mean he KNEW how much I love Johnnie Wilder Jr. As a singer. He was my hero....Maybe someone in Ohio knows what park Johnie would frequent. Maybe it was Princeton park. Thank you very much for asking. I live in San Francisco so I don't remember it was 1982.@@kaka7279100
I grew up listening to Heatwave. The music was an important part of the late 70’s for me. This band is definitely underrated. I learned do the hustle listening to The Groove Line.
Johnnie Wilder, Keith Wilder and rod temperton: talented , soulful and experienced singers in the legendary group HEATWAVE. May their band members never forget them, the success and the wonderful music made. They are missed and loved. May they rest in eternal peace.
The last remaining original member of Heatwave passed away about a month and a half ago 😢! I don't consider the group underrated... we just began losing them way too soon... 😢❤🎉
Saw Heatwave in concert at the Spectrum in Philly 1978. The band was unbelievable. The two albums had lots of bangers. Johnnie hit the notes live better than the records. Excellent video! This band was unstoppable the first and second LP! Good seeing this! Giving Heatwave their props!
The Groove Line was the perfect roller skating jam back in the day. Shout out to anyone in the 313 who skated at Northland Skating Rink and USA Skating Rink in Southfield Michigan . GOOD TIMES ❤❤❤
Man, you does your homework and research on the spot. "Boogie Nights" "Ain't No Half Stepping" "The Groove Line" "Mind Blowing Decision" "Always And Forever" are among my favorite songs by Heatwave.
Thanks! I was in 7th grade when they hit in '77 & I bought their 1st 3 albums (big deal for a kid back then) & all of the 45's...I LOVED Heatwave! I'm just sorry that they fizzled in '79. I wish that the Wilder brothers & Rod Tempeton were still here.
I saw them years ago in Cleveland at the Front Row ,they opened for Chaka Khan, Jonnie Wilder jr. Was a great performer period. We didn't want them to leave the stage. He was GREAT. I cried when I heard about his accident. Rod the worlds greatest white boy.
Johnnie Wilders smile shows he loved what he did ....he seemed like a beautiful soul everytime I see a heatwave performance on RUclips yu can tell he was passionate about his craft
Here we go with ANOTHER epic story from the BEST storyteller in the game!!! Right on time for the holidays too!!! And I remember you doing them stories about Tammi Terrell & the one about Teddy P & you mentioned him being in that car accident too. BTW I still ain't heard nothing about that Teddy P movie that Tyrese was supposed to do either. Thanks for the fresh new episode about Johnnie Wilder from the group Heatwave & Happy Holidays to you & your family Celebrity Underrated!!! 👑👑👑💯💯💯🔥🔥🔥💪🏿💪🏿💪🏿
Thank you for this. Heatwave is one of my favorite groups of all time. They never received the accolades they deserved. And although Keith tried to keep the group going, Johnnie and Rod were the heart & soul of the band. They are both missed 😢 Heaven has gained a singing angel and an awesome songwriter.

While a lifetime Heatwave fan I was only able to catch a newer version of Heatwave around 2014 but Keith was still there. RIP Wilder Brothers. Thanks for this video.
Johnny not only hv ad a beautiful voice; he was a fabulous dancer/ performer and great stage presence with that smile and personality! No one like him. Fabulous yet underrated band! ❤
❤❤❤thanks for sharing this video I just started researching Johnnie wilder one thing I loved the most about him was that infectious smile he had also I believe we a video of Rod Temperton too
I always have said that The Group Heatwave was the best in its primetime, And the most Underated. Johnny Wilder with his Falsetto Voice, Magnificent and Smooth. My favorites, WERE Always and Forever, When that record first came out, Ran to the store and bought it. Boogie Nights and Grooveline love it. Just liked you said Johnny and Keith would performed on Stage. Rod was also a Great Writer as well. So very Sorry to hear about their Passing. Johnny ended up being Paralyzed for life in a Car Crash. There would never be a Group liked Heatwave. Thank you for presenting this Video. Rip to Johnny, Keith, Rod❤
170,000 subscribers!!! Let's go!!!!! Your hard work is paying off. See you at 200k💯💯💯.. Naw 1 million. Cu crew 4 life. John was born 3 days before Phyllis Hyman
😊❤ Much love to the Wilders. I can't lie, ya know they got them "Here! Take my panties" moves back in the day. He's a handsome man on top of that, mayne. I love how his love story began with his new wife & family.
One of the first concerts I went to as a teen was Heatwave and Rufus with Chaka Khan. It was amazing and believe it or not, Heatwave blew Rufus out of the water. I remember reading about Johnnie Wilder's accident in Jet Magazine. Just devestating.
Groups didn't wanted to perform before or after Heatwave, because Heateave would outstage them with their live performances- their outstanding singing, dancing, acrobatics, and stage presence. They were the complete package. If I remember correctly the group Tavares wanted to fight Heatwave because Tavares got upstaged by Heatwave. Tavares was jealous.
Thanks so much for doing this story. The unsung episode did a good version of his life as well, but heatwave was a timeless group that music will always live on
Im from Cincinnati,Ohio and everyone that lives here knows where the FUNK started! It started in Dayton,Ohio aka Gem City!! So many big groups came from there! From Dayton down to Cincy is where the funk lives!! 💯 Heatwave has always been a CROWN JEWEL when it comes to the music scene! We are proud to claim them as our own!!💯 RIP Johnny and Keith Wilder🙏🏾🙏🏾
Heatwave is phenomenally amazing enriched with so much talent. Dr Dre and The D.O.C. sampled Heatwave’s song “Mindblowing Decisions” on their song, “Mind Blowin’🎶”
This is my favorite channel! I wish I could discover it for the first time all over again. Everything I learn I run and tell my mom 😂😂 especially when it’s from her generation. I hope we get somebody in sports soon … like the Reggie Harding story. Everything you do is excellent ❤️❤️❤️
I loved HEATWAVE ❤❤ Johnny Wilder Jr.'s voice was phenomenal, reading about the accident that would cause his paralysis until the end of his life was beyond heartbreaking the BAND as a whole was extremely amazing and yes they suffered many tragedies amongst some of the members, Front Man Rod Templeton out of Great Britain was so--ooo TALENTED he was the songwriter, producer, And keyboardist, as well as his work with other Artists whom were in the business before HEATWAVE, too sad however their longevity was much too short 😢, their songs were all so beautiful especially the BALLADS most of them written by Rod Templeton, there were so many of these songs that were rarely played by DJ's on the radio😮, my favorites "All You Do Is Dial", "Star of the Story"Ain't No Half Stepping", etc. they were the BEST -- ALWAYS AND FOREVER😊🥰🥰.
I really enjoyed their songs🎉🎉 still do. I never thought I would have married one of the band member Jessie Whitten son. Mr. Jessie died when he was 5yr old.😢 Mr. Johnnie and Mr. Jessie was best friends. The story was told to me by his son, that it was his so called best friends ( grew up together)that killed his dad for money.😢😢😢 I really am looking for this particular album that his Uncle Johnnie Wilder dedicated Mr. Jessie album Always and Forever. Mr. Jessie was playing on that song but, he didn't live to see the album. I really have been looking for this particular album to surprise my husband with. I really enjoyed your post. Thank you❤❤ RIP MR. JOHNNIE&KIETH WILDER, ROD TEMPLETON MR. JESSIE WHITTEN🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️
All the physical they did while singing still astounds me. But, they have so many hits!!!! Slow and fast. It's nice to see an indie doc done on this group and especially Johnnie Wilder, Jr. I also appreciate that you're a human and not some stupid AI nonsense.
This was great because this brothers were apart of my childhood….. I can remember being at the YMCA swimming and they had a DJ in the pool . It was “Walter Wonders Cool Pool Disco” the song Groove Line bangin we little boys grinding on the girls in the pool 😂 Great times and I remember it like it was yesterday…… RIP to one of the legendary bands of our times
Man ...I love Heatwave thank you for bringing this out. When Boogie Nights came on at a party or in the club everybody was on the floor, and Always and Forever a lot of babies were made on that song, and Please Don't... Sleep on... Star of the Story...beautiful piece, I'm so glad I came up and of age at during that time of the '60 and '70s all the best music.For all who haven't done so already..."Repent for the kingdom of heaven is at hand" Shalom
I so enjoyed all of the knowledge you shared about this group, so talented and songs that will always remain with us.... Thank you Bro, blessings to you and your family ❤
Thank you celebrity underrated ❤ i Need this one i love me some Heatwave i had no idea johnnie wilder jr. Was the lead vocalist actually this is my first time hearing about the band members ❤ this just made my night sending you much peace& blessings & happy holidays too u & your family ❤🙏🏽👑 rest in paradise johnnie 🕊 his voice was so amazing & sultry
Always & Forever and Mind Blowing Decisions are my fav tracks by them. RIP to all the Heatwave band members. Also, Karen Carpenter is a very underrated vocalist. She's in my top 5. Great job with this vid CU!
Heatwave in the 70s/80s was the band of my high school years and one of the most underrated groups ever. Boogie Nights, All You Do is Dial and Mind-Blowing Decisions are the soundtracks of my adolescent years...garage parties, Michelle Winters, big Afros with berry-scented Afro Sheen and really good Columbian pot. ✊🏾✊🏾
Thank you so much for this podcast on Heatwave and Johnnie Wilder Jr. The soundtrack to my childhood and to one of the greatest bands that ever lived! May those that passed away, rest in POWER! Much Love!
Oh god! So glad Mario survived that “accident “ This is so sad. Rest in Peace Johnnie, Teddy P, Rod Temperton and Keith Wilder as well as everyone else I missed 😢
Heatwave was EVERYTHING to me. I was 10 years old when Too Ot To Handle came out. RIP Johnnie Wilder. ❤ Rod Temperton was the man too. RIP to him as well. Off The Wall was and forever will be my favorite album. RIP to Keith Wilder and Michael Jackson ❤
Johnnie was too cool. He and Keith would do gymnastics onstage besides dancing. Having been paralyzed in that freak accident, he didn't let it stop him, and he carried on as the boss of Heatwave. What an inspiration he was!
Thanks, Celebrity Underrated. I love Heatwave, and I agree Always and Forever is my song too. Can you do an episode of Sylvester, please? Wishing you and your family a Merry Christmas 🎄 🎁 🎅 and a Happy New 🍾
I remember Johnnie reaching out to Teddy Pendergrass when he had his paralyzing accident as well. Both would remain friends until their passings. RIP to both.
The MAN HAD ONE of THE SWEETEST VOICES EVER...HIS FALSETTO WAS IN A CLASS BY HIMSELF.. RIP
Yes indeed ❤
Yes indeed, He could Really Sing
Yes, R.I.P.
Yesss just beautiful star of a story is soo lovely.
2:08 I've just watched a video about heatwave I'm sure the museum in Ohio has something archived.
Always and Forever by Heatwave is and still is a timeless classic song
Yes lord❤
Facts 👌💯
Absolutely 💯
Yes it is it’s my mothers favorite song, Heatwave was underrated
Thank you for doing the group Heatwave. Johnnie Wilder Jr's voice was absolutely amazing. His range was unmatched. May all the group members that passed Rest in Paradise.

Ohio had it going on with the talent then. And I'm sure there's more out there today..
Dayton, Ohio is the birthplace of Funk.
Big oh my state
I’m from Dayton. My dad knew Wilder. My father said was always a positive guy even after his accident. RIP
Somebody should make a “Heatwave” movie :))
Yes he always had a big smile
Heatwave's Too Hot to Handle is a classic R&B album
Babbeeee😢❤😂
Johnnie wilder jr. Was so dammm handsome that smile he had was everything ❤ this is so heartbreaking 💔😥😔
RIP to Johnnie Wilder Jr, his brother Ricky Wilder, Jessie Whitten and Rod Temperton
Wow! They all passed away rest in heaven too all them🙏🏽👑🕊🩶🦋

Johnny Wilder's voice is amazing and Rod Temperton's songwriting is stellar.
I remember when Heatwave came out in 1978 , love them immediately.
Heatwave is a legendary R&B band. They're always and forever. Because they know how to boogie all night. Come on down to the groove line.😊
I like what you did there 😉
Very clever 😊
I see you
That the real reason I never stop watching your channel
Rest In Beats to Jessie Whitten, Rod Temperton, and the Wilder brothers.
Rod Temperton is a low key 🐐
