@@redzoom7857 lies af. There's lots of 80s and 90s singers that were just good but not great. Example al b sure(Christopher's cousin), Keith Sweat, etc
@Westside Buddy. ESCO No, what I discovered was that him going crazy and destroying the Uptown office was his undoing cause he couldn't understand not getting paid for doing Unplugged.
@@redzoom7857 that shouldn't have been I'm likely to think that he didn't have sex like most of them did. That dress wearing and sucking dick is real. That's why so many talented people don't survive the industry. Also, that is what caused his intense drug problem.
But only vocally you guys keep saying he didn’t “suck dick” the dude suffered from lack of marketability which is important in the music business. He doesn’t seem like he can really dance either which was lacking compared to other acts out at the time even though he can blow
+pashaun Pride Yeah he does sound like Teddy... But his upper range is a little higher. He's like a Teddy P and James Ingram hybrid. And that's what makes him something almost unheard.
I remember that Chris was briefly interviewed by Arsenio after this performance, and he mentioned that he had actually was sick with a cold. That makes this performance even more amazing.
+jmaal2345 So very much! Today it is almost impossible to find artist who sound JUST like their record. I need to find a club or lounge that only plays this type of music... all night long lol
Damn I love this guy's voice. I remember when this guy's career exploded in the early 90s after New Jack City. That's when I really heard him. That booming baritone. It's a shame record companies didn't have much faith in him. This guy deserves to be bigger than he is careerwise. Mind you I was like 5 or 6 when I first heard him. Brings me back to the good days of my childhood in New York. He's from the Bronx though I'm from Queens. :)
Lord knows Christopher could sing, but I still like Teddy's voice even better. I guess that's because Teddy had an even deeper voice. Both Teddy and Christopher were very, very handsome. LOL
damn i luv that growl that he has to his voice its sexy! & he's sexy too,some of the most talented artists/musicians kinda fall by the wayside..i love this Old School stuff! :)
I was in a Book- Off store last night and came across 2 gems- the New Jack City DVD and CD! Christopher Williams - One of the most handsome men I've ever seen. And with that strong smooth baritone voice? My God...*thud*
On Unsung when he said sang the song like Michael Jackson it made me love it even more (and im not even a big MJ fan) cause towards the end you can definitely tell. 🔥
I hear so much John P Kee style (he's a Gospel Artist) with those funky musicians jammin live, and my goodness let's give the bassist credit on that bass slappin.. often gets overlooked but it truly carries the rhythm and Chris voice sounds similar to John P Kee style as well. Gotta love them early 90's vibes back then!!! 😎 🎵🎧
@@CleanMusicLover229I didn't even know that was them. But i've seen some videos of them on here recently and they still can put on a funky show.. Them boys definitely know how to jam 😎
"You can't have it All i guess" but if He Could've learned 2DANCE But it's 2022 & i Still play "Dreamin" least Once a Wk so he did Something Right!! Just Jokin, The Boy Could SANG!!
New Jack city was one of the influential moves in era in R&B. There are no other singers in today's music. I love Chris's voice as well as Al B Sure...yummy eye candy
good ol days of my youth, i swear, the great 80's and 90's, when music had meanin and really made u groove, no fightin, no mean mugs, just good liquor, women, homies, friends, no worries, i miss theez dayz....this song has longevity til this day i swear
See back then you never had to worry about singers sounding bad live.......because they were REAL singers.
Melissa Evans Yep, back in the 90s you had to be able to BLOW on the spot to get a record deal.
EXACTLY
Melissa Evans this is true
This is so true, this was a time musicians took their careers seriously. They were professionals about their music.
@@redzoom7857 lies af. There's lots of 80s and 90s singers that were just good but not great. Example al b sure(Christopher's cousin), Keith Sweat, etc
The women singing on the left is my mom❤️ and the women on the right just recently died a month ago😓
Awesome!!!
Blessed. The lady who passed..what was her name?
Thank you for sharing the knowledge. They both can "sang"!!!!!
🌹💖🎵🎶
That's amazing, you must be soooo proud of your mum! Condolences to the lady who passed away, such fantastic voices both of them.
New Jack city is a straight classic
Rafael Beltran #Facts and not just saying that because I was in it as an extra. I met CW & he hugged me and my crew 😎 #Bringthe90sBack
Rafael Beltran nino brown the gansta 💵💵💵💵💵
Rafael Beltran dun know.
He sounds bomb live. Shame that a lot of today's R&B singers don't sound this good live
Go see him he sounds the same he is touring
Chris was a beast vocally! Should have been even bigger.
MJ Zoom Unfortunately auto tune took over.

P Diddy blocked his progress.
Dude got really skills vocally
That keyboard player is on POINT!
this dude's voice... never heard anything like this
Teddy Pendergrass lol
+pashaun Pride Yeah he does sound like Teddy... But his upper range is a little higher. He's like a Teddy P and James Ingram hybrid. And that's what makes him something almost unheard.
+MrPZ In an interview, he said that he purposely covers both Teddy and James, then he "impersonated" them as a joke. But that was serious.
Not true Jaheim baby
Teddy Pendergrass. He was the light skin version
My name is Christopher.
My mother named me after
Christopher Williams.
I love this song.
Christopher Downes so u are a Jr! Lol
Catch!!!!!!!!
Christopher. Great name
The most underated male r&b singer of his generation..... beautiful voice....💯🌟🌟🌟
Homie has some serious vocal talents
Shiiiiiiiiit. I've always loved this dude. Him and his cousin, Mr. Al B Sure. Fine as hell. And......he can ACTUALLY sing. That's rare.
R they really cousins?? cuz they def have a similar look lol
Bev Carr yeah they cousins
@JOHN Vincent Awww damn😂🤣🤣
@MsRiff4U I don't know why people keep saying that but whatever
Tripped me out too, just like when I found out Ghostface Killah & The Intelligent Hoodlum were cousins
This dude can saannnng! I’m still dreamin’ for The past 25yrs! 😂
Heck yeah!! 😂😂🤣
I saw him singing recently and he still has splendid pipes. He is a nephew of Ella Fitzgerald!!!!❤❤❤😊😊
I remember that Chris was briefly interviewed by Arsenio after this performance, and he mentioned that he had actually was sick with a cold. That makes this performance even more amazing.
Rocking that Avarex leather jacket! Top-notch attire in the early 90's...Salute😎🌴👍
Whoa. He killed it live.
Right??!

This man can sing and its ashame his career didnt go far! Love you chris
I love the fact that this man could really sing. Yes, he was gorgeous to boot, but his talent was real.

If its Christopher..He can wake me if I'm Dreamin....!!!!! Love Chris forever!!
No Matter WHO was on Arsenio they gave it their all!
Love how this is truly LIVE and not lipsynching that happens on a lot of talk shows. That was the great thing about Arsenio's show. It was all live!
Wow!! He is so fine and only one of few that can sing live. Go Chris!!

Body bagged that man💯.....new jack swing is timeless
I absolutely love this song. His voice is incredible. And he comes from a legendary singer family
I read legendary Ella Fitzgerald is his aunt or great-aunt.*
On Unsung when he said sang the song like Michael Jackson it made me love it even more (and im not even a big MJ fan) cause towards the end you can definitely tell. 🔥
Love Christopher
his voice has a power that i’ve fallen in love with 😩😍 its so beautiful
Yes Sir! Arsenio gave us such a HUGE platform!
I strongly agree with you!!
I loved me some Christopher Williams back in the day. My favorite New Jack swing singer. Had a little crush on him.
I'll be love with him 4eva!! That voice, that face, the talent!! 💘 🎶
When men sounded like MEN instead of bitches....I used to idolize this guy's vocal cadences as a (I think) 6 year old...
*claps hands* Yes!!!! Totally Agreed!
Not all the men back then sounded like him... Many of them sounded like "bitches."
tell that to his cousin Al B sure
He know he handsome 😍😍
Right now watching " New Jack City" for the 2nd time today! " New Jack City" brought me here!! 💘 💃 🎶 👨
