@@lachauntatrone4003 Yessssss really.....If you ever bought this album back in the day upon reading the liner notes you would read that Ella Fitzgerald is his Aunt.....I Googled Christopher Williams and it came that Al B. Sure is his Cousin.....Al B. Sure says, they're not really Cousins.......
@@ethelstevenslove3165 I know he is Christopher looks like Al in some frames of the I'm Dreamin 'video if you freeze the camera frames especially when he has on the white tank top and suspenders.
@@ethelstevenslove3165 oh yes like a young Teddy P and a little Marvin Gaye he has a quiet storm romantic balladeer type of voice and he was so handsome as well.
Saw him at S.O.B's in NYC April of 23'. I was in the front row and wanted to give my light- skinned brother respect for his talent by standing up during his performance. After the show he saw me standing by the wall and said "light skin , what's up!!" We shook hands and gave each other dap. Everyone said we looked like brothers.. We actually do look alike .. Light skin to light skin.. We know the struggles of being light with the pretty face and hair.. But we can knock a "ninja" out for real. That's my man CW!!! word up!!
Man I am the brother of Sir Charles Jones "King of Southern Soul," and I should know talent. This song bring back so many memories! Where is he now and will he ever bring the voice back?
Let's see, 1988-1994, I was a little girl. In 1988, I was six years old. In all honesty, this is very true. What I will say is that 1991 was the best year. Lots of great R&B music during that time. I'm now 35, and this music is timeless.
😍🙋Love You Christopher Williams, Whatever it is that you're going thru, Don't give up. We Love & Miss You. Please Keep You're Head Up!😘😢🎤💕💞💞💞💞💞💞💞🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌
I kept hearing this song in my head, but I didn’t know who sang it. So I finally typed in the lyrics-promises promises you don’t keep. I had the Dreamin’ album too by the way. I miss those years.
This might be a bit cliche but true... They don't make music like this anymore , weres the real music at... " this is a true legend in its own right💪💪💯💯 "
IN LIFE WHEN YOU MAKE CHOICES IN LOVE .. YOU LIVE BY THOSE CHOICES .. NO ONE DESERVE TO BE HURT , NO ONE DESERVE TO BE PUT ON THE BOTTOM. I WOULD LOVE TO SAY ...

Geraldine Giles Nino Brown was jealous because he was serenading his ladies and they begged him to bring himself to their point of residence during after hours.

Christopher Williams-88-(1989-1990)promises promises -what a cool self express song this is real music r&b soul -not like todays music is not good. Is trash todays music-(this old school song still rocks in 2015......
Leroy Taylor His singing voice is like Johnny Gill....but more refined (when he growls it comes out natural whereas I feel as though Gill tries too hard).

This song came out during BET's prime years. Donnie Simpson, Madeline Woods, Sherry Carter, Angela Stribling etc
Man, I had the biggest crush on Madeline Woods, back in the day.
Back in the 80's and 90's Christopher Wiilliams and Al.B.Sure were those fine azz men! I've had a Love crush on them for the longest time!❤
Another throwback classic!!
..........
I do appreciate real music!!

Best R&B music, Best Rap music 1988-1994! I you weren't in your late teens or early twenties back then. You really missed a good era.
Hip hop it was..I wouldn't say r&b even though it was great though....
Honey Chiles I was fortunate since I turned 21 in 1988.
James Johnson You know what's up! :)
James Johnson Yup i turned 20....i miss those years.

Alecia J
His voice is a throwback to those black male singers of the 1970s.
Hi I'll be your best friend lol
just be ready baby
I like that song is really cool
I envision a candlelight dinner with you, just as soft sultry melodies like this play in the background
Memories...BET's "Midnight Love". This song played constantly then.
Yessssssss
@@arnelevans4803 I was in love with this song back then.
@@TheLeslieMichelle I was too
Thank-you Power 99 fm for introducing me to this jam as a child💎
This was always my man crush and when he played in New Jack City I was mad at Nino for stabbing his hand although I know it was acting Loll but I didn't want to see him get his hand hurt you are still handsome and when he played in a play on Bet he was awesome in it his singing makes you fall in Love with him.
Geraldine Giles Nino Brown was jealous because he was serenading his ladies and they begged him to bring himself to their point of residence during after hours.
Fine as vintage wine and he can still sing his face off

Christopher Williams-88-(1989-1990)promises promises -what a cool self express song this is real music r&b soul -not like todays music is not good. Is trash todays music-(this old school song still rocks in 2015......
these are the song that people should sing when on shows

Here listening in 2022…..
This is the song!!
Heard this jam for the first timr 5/8/15.... Added to my playlists asap
Heard this when it dropped in either late 89 or 90
A sad day when theirs no days the world cry for ever if we are not in it
This song brung back a bad memory. It seems NO matter what I do bad luck has been my bestfriend......
When this came out I was in the 4th grade they used to play this over the radio all the time back in the DAYS.
Here after reading Mr. Williams us in a coma. Sending healing energy to you ❤️
Hit song, yes sirrr...
i wish i could get the love back i had when this song was out :-(
U never miss your water til your well run's dry🤗💯
You know you know black man make promises they don't keep
Linda Whitesell really???
William Mason really
Not my black man. What he says he does😊
have mercy on me
I love his voice sounds a bit like Luther Vandross
Christopher was dubbed the second Teddy Pendergrass not Luther but I get what your saying.
Actually he sounds like a "Slow Jam" version of Colonel Abrams but with a higher vocal range.
How Nino say: I never liked your pretty Azz anyway 😆😆😆🤣🤣🤣🤣
Still listening to this in 2018.
the lost member of new edition.
Leroy Taylor His singing voice is like Johnny Gill....but more refined (when he growls it comes out natural whereas I feel as though Gill tries too hard).
@@3912James I agree. Christopher's voice has a smoother quality to it
You need to cool it now
Slow down
love this, over and over thx a real song singer.
This was my jam!!!🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
IM SO SORRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRY
