He reached his own zenith of maudlin in the 80's, though.

Michael Jackson--barely sold a record after leaving the family group.

Sisqo (Dru Hill) "Thong Song" now a one hit wonder.

Nick Carter (Backstreet Boys) Didn't even have a hit.

Some good career moves:
Robbie Williams (Take That)
Justin Timberlake (N*Sync)
Beyonce Knowles (Destiny's Child)

mick jagger's solo attempts always seem to leave much to be desired.

speaking of which - has anyone heard his songs w/ dave stewart for the movie "alfie" w/ jude law?

Would David Lee Roth qualify?

VoicesCarry said:

I actually kinda liked a lot of those songs. Kind of surprised he never released a hits collection (or that is record label didn't, anyway).

CinisterCee said:

And you just gotta mention Stevie Nicks! The records she sold as a solo artists were about on par with what Fleetwood Mac did around the same time. While Lindsey solo records didn't sell as well, I don't think that he ever that does despite the group (nor did Stevie, probably) and they didn't really flop.

I remember hearing David Letterman just saying how he thought they were excellent songs when Lude Law was on to promote that stupid movie. I just thought to myself "Really? That's great stuff?".

ugh, mick jagger sounds like don knotts on that "alfie" crap. it's horrible.

Anxiety said:

That bad huh?

I loved that Princely song he did in about '93 though. Something like "Sweet Thing" I believe.

Poor poor Sisqo Didnt we almost have it all?

VinnyM27 said:

Yes... another good career move:
Stevie Nicks (Fleetwood Mac)

I love her 80s hits... "Talk To Me" anyone?

CherrieMoonKisses said:

I know.. it looked like a good career move at the time, he was certainly ready.

Coco (the lead singer of SWV)---She released a solo CD in the late 90s that sold around 6 copies....lol...not surprisingly,she is now back with the other two girls,talking about a "reunion" album.

Dawn Robinson (former lead singer of EnVogue)---Just before her solo album came out,she was featured in a Vibe article,gloating because the latest EnVogue CD had flopped.But what goes around comes around.Her own solo CD went straight to the markdown bins.

Philippe Wynne (former lead singer of The Spinners---He departed The Spinners in 1977,but he never had much success as a solo artist.For their part,The Spinners hired a new lead singer and enjoyed a late-70s comeback with the disco hit "Working My Way Back To You/Forgive Me Girl".

Supernova said:

Nope!He made some great albums,maybe even better than his Van Halen period.

DavidEye said:

David! I remember seeing that in stores :facepalms:

CinisterCee said:

Yeah,I saw it in stores too...in the markdown bins

James "JT" Taylor, formerly of Kool and the Gang...

Daryl Hall w/out John Oates is like... tried and failed.
Bonnie Pointer of the Pointer Sisters? I think it was her who attempted solo and failed.
Jermaine Jackson, Marlon Jackson etc... though Little Bro did well, these brothers were never able to match him... then came little sis.
I'll think of more later...

Kandi - Xcape
Marques Houston - IMX/Immature
Jackie Jackson - The Jacksons

I've always loved El's voice (formally Eldra, why would his mama name him that?), he had a couple hits with "Who's Holding Donna Now" and "Who's Johnny". He also sang on Quincy's "Back on the Block" cd on "Secret Garden", and Kenny Loggin's "Unimaginable Life" cd... His voice is beautiful, I wouldn't mind hearing more.

June7 said:

You're right. He's done some great guest apperances and I actually have Heart, Mind & Soul but I got a little turned off when he did a few tracks with DJ Quik and was singing those nasty lyrics. But he does have a great voice!

Any of the 38 women that sang lead for Altantic Starr

June7 said:

You're kidding, right? Jermaine had an excellent solo career. He did very well on his own, particularly on the R&B chart.

DavidEye said:

And not just En Vogue either. What was the group she was in with the Tone Toni Tony guy? Lucy Pearl?

Also maybe:

Morris Day
David Caruso
