Teddy and Johnnie take time to discuss trials and how they helped each other overcome obstacles dealing with suddenly becoming quadriplegics. Powerful testimonies!🧸❤️

I was in dayton ohio when I first joined Slave in 1983. Drac ..Marc Hicks guitarist from slave was my best friend in Slave....he drove me one day to a little park and told me he had a surprise for me...We got out of the car and Johnnie Wilder Jr. rolled up in a wheel chair I was very speechless he had this smile like I have never seen! I told him he was my favorite singer and he wished me luck with Slave as lead Singer! I hugged him and I WILL NEVER EVER FORGET THAT MOMENT. It made me a better singer and was just a complete bolt of energy and everlasting joy for me in a young career ! Thank you Drac and Johnny Wilder Jr......Some of the only GREAT stories in the music business. This show is an outstanding segment on HOPE!

How beautiful to see these two men together. I interviewed Johnnie Wilder, Jr. for a Los Angeles Times story in '88 & met him in person at the Greek Theatre soon after when he was performing with gospel artists. Sweet man. One of the best R&B voices ever. Gone too soon.

Songs like this deserve a grammy which is why these award shows really don't get it. I mean of course there are many artists who deserve it but award shows promote who they want. There are many other groups without them who deserve them.@@msdemelogg

I used to have such a crush on Johnnie Wilder. Mind you I was born in '77. But I have a sister who is 20 years older she loved heatwave. So you know Johnnie was light skin and my sister said back then there was a thing for Black/Puerto Rican mixed men. Thats what they thought he was back in nyc . Lol, And her friends were in love with his smile and personality. As you could see he still had that 100 Watt smile and just had this light around him. And teddy was also a Gorgeous man. But even he admired Johnnie for his strength and faith. Rest in paradise to Both of these talented singers.🙏🏼🙏🏼❤❤
