What an incredible soul. Even after an accident that made him a paraplegic he still had unwavering faith in God. Many have given up on God for so much less; a loss of a job, money or something else so petty. In fact, many people don't believe in God, period. He's inspired me this very day. He's rejuvenated my spiritual strength to keep on keeping on. I've been going through a lot myself lately and have questioned where God is when I need him so badly at this point and time in my life. Johnnie, I'm sure you've reached your goal of making it to heaven and God has welcomed you into his eternal, warm and loving embrace. Oh, and Johnnie, I'm so happy you were able to share your angelic voice with us, making our lives that much more pleasurable and beautiful. Thank you, thank you, thank you. You are sorely missed.
One year before his accident the bassplayer Mario Mantese got a knife in his heart and was in the koma for month. Since then he is a „spiritual master“. (Meister M). Very interesting the story of this band.
This is my first time seeing Johnny this way.. He sounds so amazing. That voice and that beautiful smile.. doesn't miss a beat. He was a gorgeous man.. Always and Forever rip dearest Johnny.
Notice hes' doing this song in Do wop style. This guy always had a big giant smile on his face. I bet he had it till the end. He doesn't seem bitter about his condition. He seems content.
That is very and sad horrible what Johnny dealt with, but still he never gave up, and still kept his career going. Not everyone can go on. Love Johnny and a Keith and the band. Their music is some of the best ever. One of my all time favorite songs is boogie nights and I love the grove line too.
This brother is my favorite and I 💘 Love Heatwave this group was and is Legendary I was 15yrs old when they came out and I have been a fan since love you Johnnie Wilder rest well
You know Johnny singing in heaven right now what an amazing spirit in person I'm also a huge Heatwave fan God bless you Johnny Keith and Rod you're missed
Connection to The Light is everything!!!! Some people are glowing with physical health and strength and yet they are absolutely miserable. What a man! What a soul!
Nearly ten years since you've transitioned. I miss you brother and the days we spent with the saints of God at Residence Park Church of Christ. One day we'll meet up again beyond the pearly gate.
Deanna Haynes: Good for you! Vocal music is the way, according to the Word. Just learned you’re a member of the Lord’s church, as was this wonderful man.
I was so deeply influenced by the sounds of Heatwave when I was young teenager..so glad I was able to experience that period when music was uplifting and fun to listen too..
Thank U Johnnie Wilder Jr. for givin US some beautiful music 🎼🎶 & being a source of encouragement to Teddy Pendergrass who wanted to give up. You, Keith, Rod, & Teddy are singing together, R.I.P 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
That beautiful smile. That's what I enjoyed watching Heatwave's musical videos. His smile and laughter was straight from his heart and soul. Heave in my goal too. GOD bless your soul.
GOD is in control of All Life..we can never truly understand why GOD Dose what he chooses..But I thank GOD that we can Appreciate..Even though he slay me.. Forever more Praise shall Be contenuly in my mouth..Love you Brother in Christ..and you will Be Blessed to sing for our Father in heaven..GOD BLESS!!!
