What ever happened to these Prince friends? Where are they now and are they still performing music?

According to her biography, Jill couldn't record because of some type of dispute with Paisley Park. Here's what it says:

Jill Jones has undoubtedly had ample opportunity to hone her professional skills. The Ohio native started her professional career at age 15 singing backup for Teena Marie (then managed by Jill's Mom). By 18 she shared vocals with Prince on 1999 and a slew of others. A recording contract with Prince's Paisley Park Records followed, and her debut self-titled album was released in 1987. Critics hailed her as the most promising solo artist to come from the label, but a preclusive 7-year contract prohibited the release of a second album. Jones chose the high road, waited it out, and began to raise a family.

In recent years Jill Jones has backed old friends Sinead O'Connor (on her Faith & Courage publicity tour) and CHIC (Live at the Budokan), and collaborated with Nellie Hooper, Tim Simenon, and John Reynolds.

Her latest album "Two" was writen, produced, and performed with Seal co-writer Chris Bruce.

***"Tamara" is actually Margie Cox,who sings "Standing At The Altar" on the 1-800-New Funk compilation.In 1995,she did an interview with Uptown magazine.She spoke of a planned album on NPG Records.Not surprisingly,the album was never released.


***Jesse Johnson lives in L.A. and is a producer for various artists.He is producing songs for a new CD by The Dramatics (a 70s soul group).He is also wroking with a few hip-hop artists.In 1996,he released a rock album 'Bare My Naked Soul'.


***Andre Cymone married singer Jody Watley in the early 90s and they had a daughter.They divorced a few years later.He was planning to form a Black rock band with Micki Free(of Shalamar) and Mic Murphy (the lead singer of The System).That project never materialized,but a few years ago,he mentioned that he would love to work with Prince again.


***Jill Jones just released a new CD last year called 'Two'.You can purchase it on her official website.

I'm interested in Morris Hayes. Where is he and is he still playing keyboards, writing, & producing for and with Prince?

Morris was at the Celebration and he was very cool and looking fine. He's a great guy. He always was friendly to me.

!! From Paisley Park Records?! That's a good one!! Hey, i like a lot of the old PPR albums--but i would only recommend a couple of them to friends of mine, and it wouldn't be Jill's '87 album.
