This is my favorite song and video from her. I wish she hadn't faded so quickly.

Love the guy in the back ground doing his thing.

Andre is such an amazing dancer, I know he's worked with mj too smile

If there is a reason to call Jody better than 80's Janet, this video is proof. In fact, I think Janet was probably inspired by it for the RN1814 video, but little janet fans will never remember this video or give Jody credit.

Faded so quickly? Jody is still around and making music. In fact, she has a new CD out...

I think he meant faded for mainstream

there is no reason why Affairs of the Heart had to be ignored. Aside from Michael,Janet, Boyz II Men, Alanis (in Canada) and Paula, I think 1991 sucked ass, and Jody's new material that year was superb and too good for the year. I'm the One You Need and I Want You are classic videos and songs.

I meant faded from the mainstream. I have heard her more recent music and know she's still around.

She has said the promotion for that album was practically nil.

I'm not sure...I think it's a riff that's just natural for him, after all he and prince did play together and had similar styles back then.

When did the new cd come out? I've heard the single, but didn't know the full project was out.

It is sched to come out in a about a month or so. It is actually a live greatest hits CD, with live versions of stuff from her last CD.

No, her live cd came out in 07 on Sony. It had songs from her last album as well as her old stuff.



The album I'm thinking about is the one that was announced in December. the single "Candlelight" was released, but I haven't seen anything else.
