Is it true...

Prince fired Jerome from his backup singers after the Parade Tour because he appeard in Janet Jackson's "Control" video alongside his brother, Terry Lewis? Was he still bitter over the Jam and Lewis split and took it out on Jerome?

I always wondered just what does Jerome do besides hold Morris' mirror? Can he play any instruments or sing?

Think about it. Jerome's part worked out, and well too. Think what the image of the Time would be like without him.

Without him, The Time could of been taken more seriously, but maybe not, who knows.

on the Credits for "Pandemonium" Jerome is Created as doing just that Hollars,Screams&Mirriors.He played a little Percussion but it was like a Vegas type thing with Him&His Association with Prince.

Yes,that is true.As soon as Prince saw the "Control" video,he immediately cut Jerome from the payroll.In those days,Prince was still a control freak,and he didn't really want his "employees" working outside of his organization.

Jerome musta done somethin right considering Prince picked him to be in not one, not two, but three of his motion pics and two of his major world tours, I always dug butterscotch and chocolate...

Jerome's talent is his flair for comedy and dancing. I saw the Time live a couple summers ago and Jerome was playing a little percussion, a small drum. But it didn't amount to much.

What I noticed about that show was how much time Morris Day spent [i]off[/] the stage. Jerome stayed front and center leading cheers and goofing with the crowd, keeping everybody entertained while Morris disappeared.
