I start to cry as soon as I hear this song. So many memories. My Army buddy's wife sent him this song while we were stationed in Desert Storm. I remember listening to it over and over again on our Walkmans, it gave us so much inspiration and determination. Unfortunately my buddy passed away a few years ago, and it is really difficult every time I listen to this song, but I close my eyes and enjoy those memories.
Ohh Sam . . . I'm so sorry. I'm thankful you made it through. Your service and others that have crossed over means the world to me. We wouldn't nearly be as safe if you all didn't sacrifice your lives for us. A Silent Prayer goes a long way and deep within 🌹
One of my favorite Shanice songs. Nice live performance and duet with JG. This is when women singers still dressed respectable. Boy have times changed!
Clayton Eatmon hard to believe this was over 20 years ago. They're up there but not as old as Gladys Knight and Patti Labelle who can still hit the high notes.
VintageModernWoman you're so right Shanice has always been classy that's why the record labels didn't want to sign her anymore because she wouldn't dress slutty, what a waste of talent she a beautiful woman and can really sing.
Yes it was It brings back memories of that year in Norfolk,Va. and all the military personnel were gone.This was a very eerie and sad time.I think the song is fitting for this time in our country.This virus is an invisible war.Prayers for us all.
Two very talented vocalists putting their talents on display live not recorded, not lip sinking but live...step ya game up artists of today's era you know who you are.
Why on earth didn't such a uniquely talented and beautifully gifted singer as Shanice become just as famous as those even less talented than her? Even her name and smile are so uniquely beautiful, yes Shanice Willson, "I Love Your Smile" deeply also! Her life-giving energy and smile light up the whole world!
Shanice's label never released this beautiful song as a video way back during it's rotation. But regardless of it still we played it much in our homes and headphones. Thanks to Arsenio Hall' we can see Shanice and Johnny in this awesome performance. Thanks GingerSpice414 for sharing!!! 💯💯
It was huge on late night radio rotation back in the day. Back then I remember songs like Silent Prayer, Prince's Adore, Teena Marie's Oh La La songs never released as singles and had no music videos but were favorites of everybody.
This is a very unique live performance. I never herd them perform it live let alone hear Johnny sing anything but the chorus. This was awesome! Way better than the album version. I love these two 3000.
I remember this live when it happened, Johnny was pushing her vocally.. To bring the best out of her. I see Jonny’s talent intimidated her at first! But she stepped up in the end!! Beautiful song!!!
I love!!!!! Johnny Gill & Shanice singing this duet together. They sound beautifully together. They should have sung more duets together. WOW!!!!! Thanks! GingerSpice414 for uploading this video.
I remember when I first Shanice Wilson, she was on Star search... We are the same age so I was amazed at that age she was a very confident singer....Her career ranges or 30 +years... she needs more recognition.....
Back when they were very young. I so do remember it especially, when my cousin went to fight in the desert storm wars. He didn't survive but, this song is still my favorite.
This song still gives me chills from over thirty years ago so both are talented. Now this is real talent, not that crap music out today! We need RnB like this again!
What a duo. Underrated talented. It's sad I have to go back to old school music to actually hear talented singers. I don't mind cause the music is so good.
The Art of delivering a song...much has been said of those who don't got it to give. Alas, the same should be said for those who have it, but over-sing to the point of making noise out of a beautiful song. I love Shanice. I love Johnny too! She sang over him. He damn sure sang over her! They both over-sang so much that they made a mess out this performance. #ISaidIt!

Such a powerful performance! Shanice didn't have to dress half naked to get anyone's attention. Her raw talent spoke for itself. What a classy lady!
Amen! My thoughts exactly.
I need Her to Sang...Not be Naked!
Kinda miss that vibe
She really is a powerhouse! They tore up this song! Omg incredible!!!
She wasn’t showing her ass that’s why they didn’t push her
Johnny gill can sing his ass off!
Mellow Denese And our a$$ too.😂
That's a given. But Shanice was only 18 and still hung with him. How many can say that?
Absolutely
Jes a vocal beast
I always thought Shanice was underrated....she can really sing. Her smile is so perfect!
I agree! I remember seeing her on Star Search when she was a little girl and she could blow back then!
Yes, she can sing...very under-rated.
Jhoney Sweet she should be so bigger she's so gifted
Maybe. In this case, i believe that something was off. Seems like they were cold and not in sync. Bet it was competition, and JG stood his ground.
Yes!
The fact that Shanice’s voice still sounds this good today is mind boggling 🔥🥺
Johnny Gill. A gifted and underrated black singer. Some so call singers now need to take a page from his book.
i agree
he did New Edition some justice
Amen!!!!
I don't know... it might be me, but i think it because he's dark skin. Lol... the light skin brothas ran the 80's and 90's
Así es 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Gill, and Shanice are killing this "SILENTLY Prayer"!!

I was over there too ( 82nd Airborne ). I think this song was dedicated to us Deployed. Beautiful Song.
Shanice is so underrated....
What a voice ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
And so classy✨💖
Not in SA 🇿🇦...🤭

When women were naturally beautiful 🤗
That's right Stephanie! Real talk!
Women are always naturally beautiful. Some just mess it up.
No one sounds like this anymore wow
candyberried real talk
Cuz they use autotune now
Lies ... there’s still a lot of powerhouse vocalists so I wonder what you’re listening to 👀 have you ever heard of Tamar Braxton or Jazmine Sullivan?
Singers like this are out there, they are just not backed, supported and promoted on the same level as the 'fluff'....
why Isnt she mentioned among the great??? This lady can sing!!!!
Kumtekmeon #FACTS
She didn’t sell her soul for fame that’s why
they both have such great vocal control...they know when to go hard and when to bring it in for magical moments...this is such a beautiful song!
This song is actually about our Desert Storm Troops😊❤🇺🇸💛
Yup! Glad you knew this little known fact.
Yes it was It brings back memories of that year in Norfolk,Va. and all the military personnel were gone.This was a very eerie and sad time.I think the song is fitting for this time in our country.This virus is an invisible war.Prayers for us all.

Now this is what you call a vocal workout. Great duet.

She was to sweet for this evil world
The industry has never been about Talent.
@@ThatsJustMyBabyDaddy Especially these days, or since the 2010s.
For real. It ain't fare she got slept on. She is absolutely AMAZING!!
@@RTDavis0503 I wholeheartedly concur, friend.
They were both so underrated.
Arsenio...We love you!!Had it not be for you, Sir...I saw this live. It how I recognize this. What a time to be alive to witness🙏🏽🙏🏽

THAT WAS THE BOMB.
Shanice can blow...wow, wish I had those vocals
This is a very unique live performance. I never herd them perform it live let alone hear Johnny sing anything but the chorus. This was awesome! Way better than the album version. I love these two 3000.
I forgot about this song. But on the original version he just sings chorus. This performance he sings her second verse. Which he did an amazing job.
one of my favorite ballads of all time...the vocal ability of these two is disgusting!!!
Without a doubt.
He made her bring it...vocal acrobatics. Perfect Combination as well.
you can tell Shanice was annoyed with it too she wasn't tryna do all that but you know Johnny gotta be extra lol
I remember this live when it happened, Johnny was pushing her vocally.. To bring the best out of her. I see Jonny’s talent intimidated her at first! But she stepped up in the end!! Beautiful song!!!
I love shanice! Her voice is awesome.
Recognize that Shanice was only 18 and wrote the song. And Johnny? Well, he's just being Johnny.
I Miss Arsenio Hall and the '90s!😢😢😢
They were singin' they ass off here. My goodness. I miss real, true blue singing so much. This is the *norm* I come from.
Johnny Gill and Shanice are blowing "SILENT PRAYER" up to the moon and back!! They kilt it!! Johnny come back!!

Two of the best vocalist! Beautifully controlled!
Two beautiful amazing vocalists

Back when they were very young. I so do remember it especially, when my cousin went to fight in the desert storm wars. He didn't survive but, this song is still my favorite.

I have to agree. They should've just stuck to the album version.
