Silent Prayer ~ Shanice & Johnny Gill LIVE

[@abongilegrootboom2724]

The fact that Shanice’s voice still sounds this good today is mind boggling 🔥🥺

[@mitchw2001]

Johnny Gill. A gifted and underrated black singer. Some so call singers now need to take a page from his book.

[@nicolec2470]

i agree

[@dreameryoung38]

he did New Edition some justice

[@vw1649]

Amen!!!!

[@Febreze99]

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

[@ignaacevedo9324]

Así es 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@jhoneysweet7919]

I always thought Shanice was underrated....she can really sing. Her smile is so perfect!

[@russde20]

I agree! I remember seeing her on Star Search when she was a little girl and she could blow back then!

[@vw1649]

Yes, she can sing...very under-rated.

[@jacquesgardner143]

Jhoney Sweet she should be so bigger she's so gifted

[@verahoward9422]

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.

[@JamesWilliams-zy9eg]

Yes!

[@gailbrooks505]

Gill, and Shanice are killing this "SILENTLY Prayer"!!

[@samh3354]

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.

[@GingerSpice414]

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 🌹

[@anthonysmith2050]

I was over there too ( 82nd Airborne ). I think this song was dedicated to us Deployed. Beautiful Song.

[@VintageModernWoman]

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!

[@VintageModernWoman]

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.

[@mennis1966]

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.

[@dunit4me]

Johnny gill can sing his ass off!

[@queennova7341]

Mellow Denese And our a$$ too.😂

[@SkammLykelee]

That's a given. But Shanice was only 18 and still hung with him. How many can say that?

[@kaylaleave]

Absolutely

[@sandilekhumalo6152]

Jes a vocal beast

[@mrsx7944]

Definitely

[@strangefruit4352]

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!

[@KevinV61]

Amen! My thoughts exactly.

[@BUNNOBB]

I need Her to Sang...Not be Naked!

[@thembisilepraise]

Kinda miss that vibe

[@barb6868]

She really is a powerhouse! They tore up this song! Omg incredible!!!

[@jamesjackson320]

She wasn’t showing her ass that’s why they didn’t push her

[@mahala77]

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!

[@mercyrahma9501]

Shanice is so underrated.... What a voice ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ And so classy✨💖

[@Bongsipo]

Not in SA 🇿🇦...🤭

[@charmac37]

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.

[@lordcron]

Why is it 2024 and I'm just now hearing this?!.... Two of my favorite singers from my generation.

[@rogerwoods5082]

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!

[@RTDavis0503]

She was to sweet for this evil world

[@ThatsJustMyBabyDaddy]

The industry has never been about Talent.

[@gmcneoplan84]

@@ThatsJustMyBabyDaddy Especially these days, or since the 2010s.

[@rudolphmcneill515]

For real. It ain't fare she got slept on. She is absolutely AMAZING!!

[@DjTIMEJD]

@@RTDavis0503 I wholeheartedly concur, friend.

[@candyberried]

No one sounds like this anymore wow

[@kimbaker4169]

candyberried real talk

[@funky-yk6nx]

Cuz they use autotune now

[@MarquesTheProducer]

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?

[@abbakaastralboobabymusic]

Singers like this are out there, they are just not backed, supported and promoted on the same level as the 'fluff'....

[@ccds6470]

why Isnt she mentioned among the great??? This lady can sing!!!!

[@kimbaker4169]

Kumtekmeon #FACTS

[@Anointed333]

She didn’t sell her soul for fame that’s why

[@leeleybanna6126]

This song is actually about our Desert Storm Troops😊❤🇺🇸💛

[@reggiemars2k8]

Yup! Glad you knew this little known fact.

[@lisajenkins8916]

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.

[@mrsx7944]

How do you know that?

[@gigidawn2003]

I Miss Arsenio Hall and the '90s!😢😢😢

[@phoenixrising_1973]

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🙏🏽🙏🏽

[@iriear]

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

[@reggiemars2k8]

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.

[@ericharper4351]

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.

[@TheeSymphonysCultureChannel]

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!!! 💯💯

[@jlv3x]

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.

[@cum4meify]

Shanice can blow...wow, wish I had those vocals

[@gailbrooks505]

Johnny Gill and Shanice are blowing "SILENT PRAYER" up to the moon and back!! They kilt it!! Johnny come back!!

[@donlong6088]

THAT WAS THE BOMB.

[@JaimeThomas0627]

They were both so underrated.

[@mrsx7944]

Hush. Y'all literally call everyone underrated!!

[@mrsx7944]

He's a GOAT

[@judithmajesty1839]

one of my favorite ballads of all time...the vocal ability of these two is disgusting!!!

[@drummingdanny84]

Without a doubt.

[@benicio1967]

These two vocals give me chills. I love this song so much. ❤

[@sweetnovember7925]

Two of my favorites and in 2020 they still can sing their faces off

[@AmazinglyBeautifulca]

I love shanice! Her voice is awesome.

[@lalaev2077]

The best version of this song... glad its available. Recorded this in vhs when it first aired🔥🔥

[@santeriabanks2930]

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.

[@lalaev2077]

Best version.. still have vhs my mom recorded on 2021

[@anthonysmith2050]

Beautiful Song. Used to listen to this when I was in The War. Thinking about My Wife and Kids.

[@ninibrownlee7774]

THANK YOU GUYS ❤

[@WayneSmith-j2n]

the man or the woman who put these two singers together to sing plus who write this song deserves a life time award....they did a wonderful job......

[@tequilamockingbird6734]

THE WAY I LOVE THIS SONG!!!! 😭😭😭😍😍😍Shanice has alwats had the greatest voice on earth for me.

[@janicebullard5774]

Lord help me Just fell in love with this song again 🌟💕🌟

[@jonessabrina48]

They don't sing like this nowadays. Beautiful❤❤

[@coltanddj]

He made her bring it...vocal acrobatics. Perfect Combination as well.

[@Musicblue22]

you can tell Shanice was annoyed with it too she wasn't tryna do all that but you know Johnny gotta be extra lol

[@atlsweet]

When women were naturally beautiful 🤗

[@alimuhammad538]

That's right Stephanie! Real talk!

[@SkammLykelee]

Women are always naturally beautiful. Some just mess it up.

[@juanitamatthews3244]

Still hit❤

[@latryceparker9204]

Such a breathtaking performance. This one gives me chills.

[@lalaev2077]

" cause I know what I'm gonna do ooh ooh🎼🎼🎙 just as soon as I'm back with you! Her range, pitch, octave🔥🔥🔥 yes 2020

[@cloverleaftv]

Two power house singers the best ever

[@michaelmartin6138]

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!!!

[@trinitygillings5380]

Yessssss yesssssss Yezzzzzzz Lawd My favorite Song!!!!!!! ❤❤❤❤❤ so Dynamite........ these two this Song

[@gailbrooks505]

Shanice has a voice of gold!! Ole Johnny Gill joined in to kill "SILENT PRAYER"!!! Shanice is a young "Whitney House" awesome

[@lakiareed7643]

This collaboration song is amazing

[@rashereemuh9573]

Beautiful song one of my all time favorites:))

[@johnlewis195]

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.....

[@ant1198]

It’s not even just the singing which is phenomenal from both of them and their delivery is uncanny. But the songwriting and the lyrics and the message? Today’s artists do not make this kind of music.

[@amaalafox4130]

Two of the best vocalist! Beautifully controlled!

[@marthaharris3789]

AWESOME! JOHNNY Gill

[@award7509]

They need to do another duet

[@ERICXOMAGAWI]

Wow!! JG 🎶🎵

[@vellbariaofficial]

Shanice and Johnny singing together works wonders! :)

[@kaylaleave]

Two beautiful amazing vocalists

[@luvlocs06]

Had this pop into my head and came to listen to it and am now mourning the lack of talent today.

[@islandbreezy441]

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.

[@CarnellHaynes]

Those voices gave me chills!!!!

[@lalaev2077]

This is the J.G.. I love!❤❤❤

[@Zama_Makhubu]

I just love her and Flex together

[@imasummergirl]
