Rest in Peace Johnny. You encouraged me to stay in college and study engineering rather than pursuing a music career. I was working security for a concert at which Heatwave was performing as the opening act for Rufus featuring Chaka Khan. You were so right! Thank you!

Discovering all about you in 2025. Proof your legend of voice and decency and faith lives eternal.

Never knew who you were. But I listened to The Groove line all the time. So sorry I didn't know you and meet you. Can't get enough of seeing you perform.

I love Johnny singing Always and Forever. His voice like an angel and brings tears to my 78 yr old eyes for his amazing gift devotion and faith after his accident. He must come from an amazing family and been loved by his devoted wife and daughter and family. When I feel blue I listen to this and feel uplifted. God Bless.
