Rick James was better known for his braids. He did rock a curly weave in the late 80s (Glow album). **--••--**--••**--••--**--••**--••--**--••**--••-

I'm sorry but this beats all...
That chick in the video for Lionel Richie's Hello couldn't see, but she could act, dance and sculpt a full-on Lionel Richie with a curl bust. That's talent! | |

Like others have said, that list is so off that you wonder if someone who either is not black, is not familiar with the 1980s black music scene or some combination of both created it. Acts like Full Force, Ready For The World, The Deele, Troop and Jesse Johnson circa 1985 are derisively synomymous with the Jheri curl style.
Prince and DeBarge may have worn a Jheri curl, but they certainly did not have that drip-drip look that was obviously worn by the aforementioned people. Lisa Lisa is a Hispanic woman with straight hair, for goodness sake! When I think of Jheri curl artists, here are the people I associate with the look: 1.) Full Force 
2.) Ready For The World 
3.) Michael Jackson 
4.) TROOP 
5.) The Deele 
6.) Jesse Johnson 
7.) Eazy-E 
8.) Ice Cube 
9.) Kangol Kid (on the left)  [Edited 6/21/07 19:14pm] THE TRAFFIC JAMMERS, The Org's house band: VAINANDY -- lead singer; NAJEE -- bass; THE AUDIENCE -- guitar; PHUNKDADDY -- rhythm guitar; ALEX de PARIS -- keyboards; Da PRETTYMAN -- keyboards; FUNKENSTEIN -- drums. HOLD ON TO YOUR DRAWERS! | |

I was a teen-ager and in my early 20s during the Jheri curl era. Not only that, I was sort of a Jheri curl snob because I had a rule I would never date or have sex with a girl who had one!
