Yes we do!!! He and Keith.
What God has given only God can take! His voice was meant to be heard! SAVED!
He still had his voice ! Heatwave was an awesome group ! RIP JW Jr.
Johnnie had the most joy of anyone I've seen.
Tears...met him in Nashville a couple of yrs b4 he passed at the National Lectureship for The Church of Christ. R.I.P. soldier
So glad I found Johnny's solo music. Had no idea he did anything after the car accident. . . . .they never mentioned it on unsung
I never knew this happened to him but I am only recently discovering Heatwave. But his voice was like honey and silk. What an inspiring story to be able to come back like he did.
He was in a car accident in 1979, the driver knocked him into a fence and tree which paralyzed him from using his hands and feet. 😢
He can sing his face off. He has a beautiful smile too. Oh, love the song. May he RIP. 😍💔🙏🏻
I can't for the life of me imagine the kind of cold hearts that would give this a thumbs down. It really makes me sad.
My, God!!! I wish they had vocalist like this around today.
I love you Johnnie. Always and forever. ❤
Beautiful spirit !!that smile! He just seems like a wonderful man of God AND fun to be around!!!
What a testimony. Heatwave songs make you feel good for a few minutes, but he has a more important message about the eternal salvation of your soul
I would play his songs over and over, Rest in Peace Johnnie, I pray to sing with you in the tree of life. Amen.
I cry when I watch this every time 😭😭😭😭
No one could sing like Jonnie...
Well stated
Aunt Roslyn..I miss you too♥️♥️♥️It's been years. This is Oderster Hurleys granddaughter and Sandra George daughter. It's been years ...but I always think about my Uncle Johnny ♥️♥️
He actually shines bright..God's love light in him....he is singing
with angels now, in God's holy presence...alleluia! ❤
RIP Johnnie in the Lord Jesus Christ and thank you for the music.
Beautiful song,voice and message ,awesome !
SEE YOU IN HEAVEN, precious brother in CHRIST.
Once of the best falsettos in the business.
