Jill Jones picture on album sleeve 'O-Zone - Lil' Suzy' Anyone seen this before? Came across the album sleeve online today and noticed straight away that, if I'm not mistaken, the girl on the cover is Jill Jones....
Album info: http://www.discogs.com/release/1267158 Googled away for a while looking for info to see if it was briefly mentioned in an interview or anything, but couldn't find a thing.  | |

I believe O-Zone had an affiliation with both Motown and Rick James, and Rick James was associated with Teena Marie, and Teena Marie is the cousin of Jill Jones.
So... it could very well be her.  | |

Yeah,that looks like Jill Jones.Ozone was Teena Marie's backing band and they eventually did their own albums,and we all know about the Teena/Jill connection so yeah...that's probably her. | |

Nice Picture of Jill. She did a little modeling back in the days though before Prince met her.
I also wondered did she sang backup on Ozone's Gigolette that was my favorite cut from that group? I can hear a bit of vocal influence from her when Teena Marie' singing girls sang backup toward the end. By the way, Teena Marie is not related to Jill Jones whatsoever. I always wished that Rick James would been his protegee instead of Prince and she would easily gotten into the RB or pop market at least she got the look and talent and singing voice. Man, things would been different and likely sucessful for her. I don't understand why Teena Marie have never consider or help Jill with a solo career, I mean they were close, and also Teena Marie was the one who discovered and produced Ozone so why didn't she give Jill a shot even before she signed to Prince? | |

I know the whole Rick James/Teena Marie family. We were very close and I can say that Teena and Jill called each other sisters. I am a big fan of Teena, I think she is one of the greastest female singers in my book and Rick was the realest cat you could have ever met!! In this business the devil is constantly working on our souls. Creating mainly ego trips, and false identities. Only strong survive!! In this business you have to make your own way, have you own thing going on. Simply because most people are so busy doing their own thing and working to stay on top, they don't really have the time to help someone else. Just like with any other competetion, there comes insecurities, doubts, jealousy and envy. So, you take what you can get and run with it. Basically, how life works. Jill knew and work some of the greastest. I think we can sometimes be our worest critics thinking we are not good enough or we fear success so we remain at a stand still and become stuck. At the end of the day we are responsible for every choice and decision that is made. Removing ourselves of anything and anyone that is not helping us progress. [Edited 11/4/08 6:00am] | |

and thats a fact jack Their momma is black and Jill's daddy was Italian, what's the deal on Christeena's pappy? I still have this fashion mag with a photo spread of Jill back when Mia Boca was a hot track/vid!! She is very photogenic.  | |

who is Cristeena? Not Teena Marie, right? Teena Marie was born Mary Christine Brockert. "Remember, one man's filler is another man's killer" -- Haystack | |

Don't pay miss queen no mind. She is the same person who also said years ago Jill was 13 years old back in 1982. | |

[Edited 11/4/08 6:00am] Thanks for the post though. Still if Rick James can help launch the career of Mary Jane Girls and even helped Eddie Murphy with his 1985 album and Teena Marie helped Ozone, I didn't see how they couldn't help Jill before Prince got her,were they that threatening by Lady J's talent? | |
