❤John actually is very much one of the Greatest. No one has his moves , his intelligence in this business. He accomplished unimaginable things starting heatwave . We all know he gave Rod Temperton his start who, became one of the greatest song writers of ALL TIME ! It was Johnnie who served in Vietnam and was the beautiful voice entertaining before America knew he ever could . . He then sought to put together the most multi-racial perfect blend of musicians , that made heatwave such 🔥 HOT PROPERTY 🔥 and definitely number #1 entertainers in the world . John is known as a total perfectionist. I knew him . Believe me "if" anyone has ALL their albums would know John wilder is a flawless 💎Top of the pyramid Artist 💎and great musician . Even AFTER he was paralyzed and devastated being debilitated. He worked to still sing GOSPEL GOLD and protected his wealth for his family . He is the one Who HELPED Teddy when he was paralyzed and didn't believe he could live ! Johnnie Wilder is MY HERO ❤ in a Man and the music of HEATWAVE will always be some of the most DREAMY best melodies of all time !
Greg Cross When you can sing these tunes word for word, that’s a testimony of music that has stood the test of time. These guys were true artists, balladeers, that could tell a story, set to music. See if you can remember this stuff they pass off for music five years from now.
One of the most underrated falsetto voices of the 70’s was possessed by Johnny Wilder. Effortless and silky smooth. Wilder is up there with Eddie Kendrick, Don McPherson, Philip Bailey and Russell Thompkins Jr., in my opinion.
One of the most angelic voices ever! I can truly say, listening to Johnnie Wilder Jr. made me start singing. R.I.P. to him, Rod, Keith and any other members of Heatwave who have passed away!
The 60's , 70's and to a certain extent the 80's - the era in which we were so blessed to witness the magic of so many musical Giants that walked the Earth - Glory and Praise to God for allowing this blessing in our time! !
Johnnie had a dreamy voice. The kind that makes your toes curl...and the harmonization of those boys! Wow, that is a beautiful era of music. It takes me back in such a good way.
I was in Germany with Johnny. We were stationed in Darmstat.(Kelly Barracks) My band was Pain Passion & Surrender. Johnny went home to Ohio. Brought back Keith and the rest is history. Nice band and nice guys.
Thank you and the Wilders for your service. And thank y'all for the music...the 1970s produced some of the best musicians and music in the history of the world!
Great story! I saw the documentary of Heatwave. Y'all were over there jammin' and bringing the funk! Big props to all of you guys for your service and your soul! By chance, do you have a recording of your group? Would love to hear it !
"YOU TALK ABOUT ENVOKING A BEAUTIFUL MOOD THROUGH YOUR SOUL" That's what this song does, and it has everything to do with Johnnie's voice! His silky flawless delivery... "This Is Solid Gold" WHAT A MASTERPIECE!
After 59 years on this earth music loving this band Heatwave have brought immense pleasure to me and many more people I’m sure! They still sendin ripples through my body what a voice Johnny Wilder jr.....hope to meet you in the next life and thank you!!!
Just Beautiful.This is what is missing in music.Men singing Romantically to his Woman. Makes you see how much the World has changed since this ERA.....
You would've had to have bought the vinyl LP back when this was out as it wasn't a radio single. This was one of my FIRST LPs I've ever got myself back I wanna say '77...I was only 11 y/o then 😂...I'm 56 now 🥴. How time flies 😀!
@@Motown-1966 Absolutely .. 1960 here !! .. Think we had some of the best years and times for music though .. here's to us both having many more years too ... :)
I still have the "Too Hot To Handle" album, where this jam is from. Looking back, Heatwave had a lot of great songs from the first five albums they recorded between 1976 and 1982. I think they were underrated after their "Central Heating" album in 1978. Their albums "Hot Property (1979)", "Candles (1980)", and "Current" (1982), had great songs that I felt that should been more recognized.
It's ALL good. The best stuff was produced by Barry Blue (my opinion). When Johnnie got hurt it derailed their whole thing (public persona) and they still put out 3 fantastic studio albums. I have 'em all. Can't get enough of Johnnie.
Rumor has it that Rod Temperton offered “Rock With You” to the band before giving it to Michael Jackson.Heatwave turned it down and MJ sang it and the rest is history as they say!
AMEN Brother - A sincere lovely song I grew up as a Kid very near to where Rod Temperton lived (Keyboard/Writer). I wish then I had the courage to knock on his door. Heatwave were a new wave of soul music that capitalized upon their predecessors in Motown, Atlantic, Stax, and of course Philidelphia. I thank myself lucky that I was around to appreciate and cherish that music - God Bless Them!
On top of the instruments the vocals are just magical! Thanks to Johnny Wilder because he gives me goosebumps when I hear his voice. Oh and that passion he shares all over his face and movements, just excellent. You really FEEL it. 83 Baby but a lover of this time and genre, thanks to my pops who loved great music. Again, the downvotes must be by mentally disabled persons who intended to LIKE and not downvote... so I'll forgive them, as there is NO explanation or reason anyone could seriously downvote such greatness.
This was the B side to Boogie Nights and I've loved this song forever. Johnnie Wilder Jr. actually sounds better live than in the studio, a testament to his incredible and unique voice.
Brings back memories! My friend and I used to sing this on our way home from work...riding our bikes as teenagers. It seems like yesterday! Another Heatwave classic! I love it!
Johnny you are truly a class act . You're that dude I'd love to just hang out with and talk about Life . The Love you had with your wife Roslyn is so beautiful . You are singing for the Almighty above and his angels . I never tire of watching the story of Heatwave Unsung !!!! You're parents as well are so beautiful. Your mother remind me of my Aunt LaRee Of Ohio . I have family from Ohio ; Youngstown , Cleveland , Warren and Coloumbus. Blessings .
Such a beautiful voice! Johnnie almost reminds me of Russell Thompkins Jr. From the Stylistics! Such purity and sweetness... God Bless the memory of Heatwave; Thank God their beautiful music will be around forever. Love you Heatwave.
I listen to this song every day, I was blessed to see Heatwave back on the day. I screamed the whole concert cause this my group. We would shut down the NCO club with Boogie Nights. They don’t make music like this. My kids @ grands rock to them also❤️Love and peace to you all❤️❤️
Connie McNair..Miss the beautiful voices of Johnnie Wilder, Jr. and Keith Wilder and Heatwave. Our parents all went to school together in Dayton, Ohio..Had a serious crysh on Johnnie.
Angels in heaven are like "hey WTF?" That brother was truly blessed and gifted. They were on the way to the TOP and then it happened. I'm so greatful for all of that material they produced. Great writer, arranger too. RIP Johnnie, Keith, Rod Temperton, and 4/5 of the band.
I don't know why people argue who is the greatest...anything. That doesn't matter because we all have a subjective sense...it's one of the beautiful characteristics the Creator put in place because obviously the Creator loves diversity. Everybody has falsettos that "RESONATE" with them, that is who you think is the best, and that's ok cause that is YOUR opinion and each of us has a right to our opinion. I feel I'm blessed by the Creator to experience all of them mentioned. Fo' sho' I to have my favorites but that is irrelevant and unimportant to anyone..but me! what is amazing to me is the fact that the songs every falsetto sings is uniquely theirs and no one could have done it better. Peace. Enjoy my brothers and sisters (that's everyone regardless of...
to Jymi Bolden you are right Brothers Johnnie Wilder, Jr. and Keith Wilder were vocalists for Heatwave and are from Dayton, Ohio, Johnnie died May 13, 2006 his look alike brother Keith sings lead now
A timeless song that takes me back to better days and memories still pure in mind when music truly had a heart and feelings that will never subside. thanks for sharing this video I've missed this album from my collection a long time ago.
This song was and is amazing! Heatwave will always be a part of my life as I was in high school. Music was changing in the seventies and they (Heatwave) were a wonderful part of that change. Incredible volume and range control for Jonnie J. Wilder. We were so blessed to hear this amazing voice. God Bless
Ill never forget the night I persuaded my sister to go catch them at Ronnie Scotts .back in 70s .blown away..the memory has stayed with me all my life....
Heatwave, smooth and they try to show men whats it like to be a real man and take your time when it comes to dealing with a lady. I take their songs to heart and try to be a gentleman about things. Heatwave is awesome
Johnny Wilder Jr. had a one in a zillion voice. He was absolutely gorgeous too. I understand the music business is rough, but cannot understand why Quincy did not snap Johnny up & take him to the superstar level. He had the chops & the looks. RIP beautiful Johnny
Johnny wilder’s voice is up there with the Philip Bailey’s of this world what a singer he was still bringing joy to my heart long after death love you Jonny many thanks for gracing this planet x
I discovered this song last week I've been searching for the song 4 35 years now that I found it I have the video attached to it I play it at least 5 times a day thank you for those great voices Rob and Johnny
This brings me back to high school dayz. Two girl friends and I had attempted to sing Lay it on me, with me doing the lead.But the day before the show my uncle died an I just was in shock to I just shut down and well you know i couldn't perform. Anytime I hear Johnny's voice I think of my uncle who introduced me to Heatwave! He used to play always and forever and try singing the high parts and almost make it.:) I miss him. He was my moms only brother. To you Uncle Jackson Grandville LOVE YOU!!!
Hands down the best falsetto ever in my opinion! RIP Johnny
Beautiful song!! Johnny Wilder a d Heatwave..You all sou d great. Elaine Carpenter Lane
He's really good but he's not the best...but I've owned all of heatwave albums since day one....

This brings me in tears. It's a shame how music changed now days...
Yes our music was one thing that brought our community together. Today, they use our music to have us destroy each other while they profit...
@@fdozi5801 Huge Facts!!!!!!
@@fdozi5801 who new they ?
Mr. Wilder's voice is flawless. I wish I could've witnessed his skill live. That's a mean falsetto...so pure
Rasheem Coleman So pure and Crisp!
Me too!
Yup. I am him in Hampton Va. awesome. They were opening for Rufus and Chaka.
Boy could sing!!! RIP Johnnie boy.
You should hear me!
This jam is just another testimonial of REAL MUSIC from back in the day that will NEVER get old or played out!!!

Uhhh, how underrated is Mr. Temperton's keys skills... His skill with that Fender Rhodes is unparalleled...

Absolutely
Not by me.. ❤
Heatwave all you do is dail is one of the smoothest songs written by the great Rod Templeton
Wow! Fantastic song! Unreal harmony - sounds like at least 5 or 6 part harmony! Rod Temperton is the most underrated songwriter ever!

Johnny Wilder Jr. had a one in a zillion voice. He was absolutely gorgeous too. I understand the music business is rough, but cannot understand why Quincy did not snap Johnny up & take him to the superstar level. He had the chops & the looks. RIP beautiful Johnny
Personally i think he had more natural talent than Jackson, think maybe Johnny was a bit too independent minded to join the QJ empire.
Johnny wanted to keep the group together for Heatwave. Although he could have gone solo but Johnny was all about the group

You're right he was so adorable. ☺️🙏🏼❤
