Whatever happened 2 some of Princes proteges??
For, example:

Tevin Campbell

Hes just disappeared without trace!!

Im not overly interested, but I have been chatting with a freind on AOL IM about past performers and Tevin Campbells name came up!!

Any chance of a comeback ended with his arrest for trying to buy the male prostitute.

I remember when I bought that album last year (for the Prince music only of course) the girl at the counter looked at me and laughed and said she bought this back in '93 cause she thought he was cute. I told her that I was buying it because Prince was on it. Then she just looked at me as if I was weird of something. Don't you just hate that being a Prince fan?. Paris 1798430, Funky.

He is reported to have performed on New Year's Eve at the Hotel Nile, Kampala, in Africa, and was subsequently held with his mother at the Hotel Africana over unpaid bills.

I didn't know Tevin took it up the shitter.

He was reported to have requested oral sex in this incident.

It's so tragic because Tevin is really an amazing vocalist.But his sex scandal is gonna prevent him from ever making a real comeback.Usher has pretty much taken his place in the R&B world.

Tevin was Doomed way before that Episode.I think the Cat can Sing/Sang better than many out here now but He had that Boyz11Men Syndrome:only as good as what was presented.Yeah he had the Big Names given him Material but only Narada Michael Walden truly challenged Him IMHO as a Singer.His Image was called into question back when the video for "Can we Talk" aired.a Comedian on Def Comedy Jam was letting Him have the blues behind that&others have as well.Tevin was presented as far more Classy Singer than Usher.Usher was presented too Content with Sisqo&Ginuwine.Tevin was precieved like a MJ but with a more Adult flavoring.

Tevin Campbell a Prince protege? I always thought that he was discovered by Quincy Jones. Before Graffitti Bridge I remember Tevin recorded the Q produced song "Tomorrow." He had the sweetest voice.

David what are the details on this episode please tell as I never heard this story only about George Michael.

UptownDeb said:

Quincy had Him Signed on Qwest Records.He was Signed up by Quincy in late 88 early 89&He sung on Q's "Back on the Block" Album the song "Tommorow a Better you a Better Me" a Old Brothers Johnson Song.

DavidEye said:

ok I shall say it again:Tevin was reported Crusing a Known Hang out where Homosexual Prostitution&Hustling is known too go down&this Co said Tevin asked if He could go down on Him.Tevin was Booked&had too do Community Service&also do a "Aids" Class or Program.

LOS ANGELES (AP) Wednesday November 10, 1999

Singer Tevin Campbell was ordered to attend Narcotics Anonymous meetings and an AIDS awareness class after pleading no contest to soliciting a lewd act from an undercover policeman.

Campbell, 22, also was fined $1,080 Monday for the misdemeanor conviction stemming from his July 8 arrest, Assistant City Attorney Richard Schmidt said.

Campbell was ordered to return to court Feb. 7 with proof he has completed the drug rehabilitation and AIDS education requirements of his sentence.

Campbell - the rhythm-and-blues singer who gained fame at age 13 with his debut album "T.E.V.I.N." -- was arrested in a police sting outside Van Nuys Elementary School.

gosh were has the time gone and what the hell is going on with tevin. the last time i saw him he was at glam slam la with a pretty little girl. he was still in his teens then. my mom was at the club and i told her he was there and she said what the hell is he doing in here. he has no damn business in here. after i stopped laughing i told her he was a celebrity and he could do that. but she said i don't give a damn he ain't got no business in here. now picture your mom saying that in her mom's attitude voice. i still laught telling that story. we all had a feeling he was gay, but i was sure he could've handled his business without getting in trouble.

langebleu said:

Wow! He pretty much ended his own career with this scandal.

what about some of the others? What is Ingrid Chavez doing now? Elisa Furrillo? Mica Paris? Jill Jones? Seems to me that the only ones who are doing well are Sheila E and Wendy and Lisa.

I agree with David and Uptown...Tevin's voice has always been amazing...he was really given a beautiful gift...

All I know about Ingrid is that she and David Slyvian(spelled right?) got married within 2 months of meeting each other in 1991 (correct me if I'm wrong). David was looking for a female vocalist to appear on his project and she apparently sent him her album and he loved her voice. David ended up moving to Minneapolis to stay with her. They got married and now have 3 children. I believe they live in Napa Valley, CA now. Ingrid and David co-write David's albums and she lays down vocals on some tracks.

He just didn't have a Full Length Great Album to match His Voice.the Cat is better than most of these Cats out now but He didn't have that Edge.Great VOice though.

UptownDeb said:

He was discovered by Quincy Jones. Prince did 3 tracks for his I'm Ready CD.

Ahh Tevin Tevin Tevin,,,I used to be in love with the brutha 2 death, hell I still love him.

Maaan I remember playing "goodbye" sooo much back in 90-91 like crazy and my grandmomma was like "Child, Harlem is sick of hearing that Whitney Houston chic" and I was like "Ma that ain't Whitney. Thats Tevin" and she was like "A MAN?? Lawd have mercy on you".

She ain't alone on this,,,the 1st time I heard "I'm Ready" I thought it was Whiteny Houston. He safely could be called the Male Whitney Hosuton and that brutha could sing circles and circles around any RnB (FOOL) 2day,,,He could fuck up sisqo, Ginuwine, Jegged Edge and ugly ass usher sooo fast

Its a damn shame what could happend 2 a very talented brutha like that

Jill Jones: Has done a few singles and collaberations here and there. Also, she has a new album out right now. Check out her site at jilljones.net.

Ingrid Chavez: Is now married to musician David Sylvan and has a new baby. She helps write some of his pieces.

that was too Funny.Tevin IMHO could give other cats a Run when it comes to Singing IMHO.He never had a Solid Album though all the way&Image hurt Him as well.if we were in times where Talented mattered more He would still be easily around.

No, I have been one for more than 20 years and I loved every day of it. I, like Prince, dont let anyone punk me into doubting myself or what I like or what is god and true in this world. That is what Prince's genius is for me.

good and true
