I love her !!! She's a strong woman (and yet, you can feel her sensibility...).The album is great and a strong one. I didn't know it failed to enter the charts in the US !

On a trip to NY, I even went to see 77 Bleeker Street !!!

Thanks for the post !!!

That pic was on my wall all thru junior high and high school!

She deserved MUCH better treatment than she got from Prince.

As for background vocals, she also sang on "Rock Hard in a Funky Place."

And wasnt she the inspiration for "She's Always in my Hair"?

Thanks for this history Mikey!

I've heard a lot of outtakes of course but I would be most excited about these unheard JJ songs coming out of the vault!

The unreleased Jill Jones tracks have been available for some time now.

The ones i have are on Work It 2.0, if you can track that down, the same bootleg has unreleased Mayte, Carmen Electra, Robin Power, Ingred Chavez and more, as well as a ton of unreleased Prince songs.

Yes she was the inspiration for She's Always In My Hair

For Love
4 love I have given U the very best, yeah
Any woman ever can
4 love I would follow U everywhere U go
My friends don't understand

I would tie U with a chain
If that would put U in the frame of mind I think's so cool
I want U so badly
Don't U know I'd gladly give my life 4 loving U

CHORUS:
4 love
Do most anything 4 love

Listen 2 me

4 love I would suffer kisses from another
If that was what turned U on
4 love I have done less and still felt the best
When I'm with U, nothing is wrong

I would tie U with a chain
If that would put U in the frame of mind I think's so cool
I want U so badly
Don't U know I'd gladly give my life 4 loving U

CHORUS

Do most anything 4 love (4 love)

Baby, come and take me, any way U make me
I'll be good and that's 4 sure
Baby, if U love me
I'm the one and only doctor that's got the cure

Baby, I would tie U with a chain
If that would put U in the frame of mind I think's so cool
I want U so badly
Don't U know I'd gladly give my life 4 loving U

4 love
I'll do most anything 4 love

4 love {x4}
I'd do, I'd do
Do, I'd do, I'd do
Looka here
I will do anything, anything 4 loving U
Uh, kaleidoscope of musical colors, ooh, hit me!
Sounds so good, uh
Mmm (Coca-cola) Ha ha
Yeah!
(What's that?)

4 love, 4 love, 4 love

Hang on, uh
I gotta go feed the dog
Oh, oh, oh, yeah! {mimic dog barks}
Good dog

Oh, that song is so frakin' AWESOME!!!

The highlight of her album IMO, topped only by "Violet Blue"

Her video for Boom Boom is so hot!!! Ohh, she got it

Someone once posted that Mama Coco would have been better off to stay with Lady T / Rick / Motown. I think this to be a truth in reference to her career.

Really, though, I would have really loved for Andre Cymone to "flash some lovin'" Jill's way - really.

Nice brief jillstory, MikeyB71.

(In Teena's Unsung episode there is some archival footage of Teena in the studio with a crew while Rick interviews her and she plays some fierce acoustic [guitar and piano] songs in between. Jill is sitting against the wall, just over T's right shoulder. Hey ... Jill would make for a great Unsung episode.)

Heard in the movie Under the Cherry Moon

Jill possibly performing this song should have been in the movie

Mia Bocca

I have only had one lover
Since I was 12 years old
So I don't care how hot U get me
I wouldn't do him cold
But there's somethin' about U, baby
That's got me koo koo
Would U hold it against me
If I said I loved another?
Tu vuole la mia bocca {U want my lips}

CHORUS:
Tu vuole la mia bocca
I love another
Tu vuole la mia bocca
Don't want no other

Something's happenin', I just can't explain it
U're doin' somethin' 2 me
My body's shakin', baby, shake, shake, shakin', baby
Shakin' like a leaf on a tree
I could never be unfaithful
Baby, I could never be
Boy, I got a feelin' that I ain't used 2 feelin'
I gotta do somethin'
Tu vuole la mia bocca

CHORUS

(I love a drama) {repeat in BG)
I'll pretend I'm in a movie
A make believe dream world caprice de la drama {... whimsical drama}
U can be a page in my diary
If U promise not 2 tell my mama

There's somethin' about U, baby
That's got me koo koo
I can't explain what's dancin' in my brain
We gotta do somethin'
Tu vuole la mia bocca

CHORUS

Sono caliente d' amore {I'm hot with love}
Il mio labio sono resbaloso {My lips are boiling hot}
Puoi toccare piano {U can touch softly}
Lo siento ma io voglio un altro {I'm sorry, but I love another one}

I love another! (CHORUS {x3})
I don't want no other! {x2}

Tu vuole la mia bocca
I love another

I'm going koo koo

Sono caliente d' amore
Il mio labio sono resbaloso
Puoi toccare piano
Lo siento ma io voglio un altro

Mia bocca

I know that it used to play on her Myspace page(if she still has one). I don't believe it was officially released though. It's a slamming track!
