Can anyone ID Prince protege wanna-be?

Does anyone know the name of this White chick who looked like a Prince prince protege type girl, but she wasn't. I saw her album in stores about the same time that this other Prince like minneapolis group called erotic storm came out, about 1985 or 1986.All I remember about her is that she was well built kind of thick and had lace covering one eye. I don;t think she had any hits.

You sure it wasn't Tamara? There are other pictures of her that might match your description. She was actually a Jesse Johnson protege. White girl, you say? Well Jill Jones was skinny.

I can't remeber a song or anything. i just saw the album cover in mid 80s and thought to myself, this looks like a Prince chick. I just thought a bunch of Prince fans on this site would remember something like that.

I asked this question on Housquake.com and someone came up with this. It's France Joli




http://www.francejoli.net

On her website you can hear all of songs in the audio section. I almost bought this shit, because it was in the R&B section and because of the way she looked, all Princed up. I'm glad I didn't. Damn does this junk sucks and why it was in the R&B section I'll never know. Hard to believe George Duke produced this. I do remember on the back of the album she had on something really skimpy and she was built as hell.
