Johnny Gill Half Crazy Video [High Quality Audio]

----------------------------------------------
Video Description
This is a video I edited of my favorite artist Johnny Gill. It's his video for the song Half Crazy which was released back in 1985 on his album titled Chemistry. I do not own the rights to this video or the audio that has been used to give listeners a chance to truly hear how good this guy sound at such an early age. Enjoy
Thanks for watching!
----------------------------------------------------
Health Update:
On Thursday August 11th, I had surgery to give me the ability to breathe through my nose like everyone else. I was born primarily breathing out of my mouth. The surgery was successful, but because of it I can not move much. And will not be able to take care of my family for some months to come.
Fast forward to February 12th 2024. I was t-boned at an intersection by a truck that ran the red light. My suv was totalled and I am being told I have a TBI...Among other things like this ringing that won't go away. Whiplash, concussion, bluging discs, etc
If you find it in your heart to bless me and my family with anything at all. I would greatly appreciate it. If not, that's ok too
Thank you and be blessed🙏

[@leefbucks]

Written by the late Linda Creed teamed up with Thom Bell back when she was close to dying of Breast Cancer. Linda Creed was a White girl from Philly who was a major piece to the establishment of beautiful and meaningful R&B music. Mrs Creed wrote the Greatest Love of All first sung by George Benson for the Muhammad Ali movie called the Greatest and then resung by the awesome late Whitney Houston as well as You make me feel Brand New, Betcha by Golly Wow sung by the Stylistics and Old Friend sung by Phyllis Hyman and how can we forget Rubber Band Man sung by the Spinners and so many more bangin songs.

He was only 18 singing like a man who been around for a long time dealing with heartbreak. That's why Johnny Gill is one of my all time favorite singers.

[@H2R504]

It was also one of the reasons that Cotillion, the label he was signed to when he recorded this album didn't know how to market him. He had such a mature singing voice for one so young.

[@fredrickwilliams7025]

I think when he originally sung this he may have been younger 😢. I'm going through a divorce dammm

[@avonee1976]

People don’t sing like this any more! This is when music tugged at your heart and soul! Them artists would have you mad at someone you didn’t even know, just because they were heartbroken, lol! This is the kind of record you put on and lay across your bed and think about your crush while you stare at the posters on your wall.

[@AlabamaPowell]

He sung the Hell out of this damn song. One of the saddest songs I've ever heard. You know a song is good when it makes you mourn a broken heart that you don't have.

Hello Sir, I'm just now reading your comment. if it was directed towards me, you're not invading my privacy; but yes, I must be discreet because the voice is who he is . . . . but no, I don't consider myself a "fan" . . . .I offer an "olive branch" to Mr. Gill as a "friend". To me there's a difference . . .a big difference. Merry Christmas to you Sir. GOD BLESS.🙏🌹​@gregnormal0

[@belindagreen5366]

@gregnormal0 Best Thing!

[@belindagreen5366]

@gregnormal0 Thank you for holding conversation with me about a very special and highly favored celebrity. Truth be told, I wish he didn't hold that status, then maybe he would be more accessible than he is. However, I am happy for his success, and truly hope he can find someone to share his success with - if he hasn't already. Because as the late , great Luther sang, a house is not a home unless you have someone to share it with. With that being said, respectfully I will not reveal where I'm from. But thank you for asking. Again, Merry Christmas 🎄.

[@djogoku1]

After searching the internet looking for a decent quality video for the song and not being able to find one. I decided to take the best video I could find and sync it with audio from my CD collection. Glad you all are enjoying the finished product. A voice like his deserves to be showcased properly. :)

This song fits exactly how I'm feeling right now. Dated a lady for 8 months and she decided to go in another direction. I don't know, I mean you treat women like queens, they try to run over you. You dog them out they chase you. Go figure. At the age of 40 you'd think that you would out grow some things.
