So who was Lauren's dad because she had to have been born in the early 80's. Andre Cymone was a nobody so everybody did NOT know he was a bass player in Prince's band! How long did they date before they got married then? As far as I know Andre is the father of both. Jody didn't have any kids with Jeffrey. On that Unsung the glossed over all the dirt. All of the members were careful not to snitch on the other, so NOBODY would feel a need to sling mud. Jeffery could be Lauren's dad for all we know. Jody might not wanna reveal that! I felt like he was riding Jody's coat tail! Jody blew up with "Looking for a new love", out of the blue! [Edited 6/22/09 11:28am] The message you are about to hear are not meant for transmission.

Howard hit her? 
And people are STILL pulling the broken "Get over it" record outta their asses?  It sounds to me like a "shut the fuck up and be glad you even have a career to begin with" sentiment.
*sigh!* Well anyway, I already said my peace about this woman. I admire her for re-inventing her career,,,,,and I think longevity that she enjoys now is pretty well-deserved. It just proves that she got a head between those shoulders, and she used it well. As for lack of Solar royalty checks, well thats why she got her hands full on interpreneurism,,,so, I think Ms.thing won't be hitting the streets anytime soon. [Edited 6/22/09 3:58am] That's a new one Hewitt hit her? I thought it would be more Jeffery, because he boxed Stephanie Mills. A reunion would be a disaster waiting to happen!

Ooh I thought LFANL was out in late '86, I guess you can say '87, lol. I read 1989 when they married but maybe that was a typo, I forgot myself. Timmy you stand correct. I have the 12 inch single and album in front of me. I had a friend who worked for MCA records in the 80's and i got a lot of promos. Apparently the single was released the latter part of 1986 but the album was released in 1987. Don't laugh at my funk

No one said Jody had kids with Jeffrey and everyone on this board knows who Andre is-he was Prince's best friend growing up. If you are going to post, get your facts straight instead of spreading lies and half truths. I highly doubt Jeffrey is Lauren's dad. Where do you come up with your delusions?

I wasn't going to say anything but that's how some people get things twisted before actually reading a statement. I was wondering how it jumped from internal conflict to Jody getting abused physically by Howard Hewitt.  Don't laugh at my funk

[Edited 6/22/09 3:58am] No Howard "hit on her" meaning Howard was making passes at her, by his own admission. How far he went and how long it went on for is anybody's guess, but since Howard himself brought it up as one of the problems in the group it must have been hellish for Jody. 
I put that in quotes because that's exactly the phrase Howard used. I DO NOT think he was physically abusive to Jody, but sexually (as in sexual harassment) yes I do. [Edited 6/22/09 11:44am] | |

[Edited 6/22/09 11:40am] Yeah that was a little confusing. This was about SHALAMAR anyway. If it was just JODY then maybe more would've spread about the situation but seeing how Jody HATES to talk about the bad things about her personal life, it was unlikely to be mentioned anyway. @SilverlakePhil, I think Roger's episode will come on this fall alongside Bobby Womack's. | |

Andre Cymone was known back then IF you were into Prince stuff, but many people were. He wasn't some coattail rider of Jody, but a respected artist in his own right. They dated several years before they married, exactly how long I couldn't tell you. | |

Right. You always heard about Shalamar or Dick Griffey when it came to SOLAR but you never hear about Leon, he was basically SOLAR's right hand man! | |

Chic, are you pissed that once again, you were called out that your facts were wrong? Andre was not a nobody-he is very talented and did a lot of nice solo stuff, including his smash hit, "Dance Electric" which Prince wrote. I would also think twice before calling someone like Andre, who happened to be a major player in the Minneapolis scene a nobody on a Prince board. And of course you cared about who is Lauren's father or else you wouldn't have brought it up, along with your usual mix of lies and rumors.

Andre Cymone was wack!
Shalamar was wack as hell! All of you have contradicting marriage dates of Jody and Andre! There will NEVER be reunion! In a nutshell who gives a fuck!  A stupid man’s report of what a clever man says can never be accurate, because he unconciously translates what he hears into something he can understand. | |

[Edited 6/22/09 12:24pm] Would you really consider "Dance Electric" a "smash"? Hit maybe, but definitely not a smash. I agree that Andre was known outside of being Prince's bass player. At the time when Andre hooked up with Jody, he was already producing and writing for others. My main question is does anyone some of Andre's early stuff he produced and wrote for others? I know he did "Love/Hate" for Pebbles. It appeared on the Beverly Hills Cop soundtrack. Was it something before that? **--••--**--••**--••--**--••**--••--**--••**--••-

It's one thing to not be a fan of their music, and another thing to disrespect them. Not cool. We are fans of Shalamar. If you would listen to their music and know the history of the group and their significance in black music history, you'd know why we are discussing this topic. Shalamar gave us two great singers and a dancer that changed the history of choreography. Now, can you honestly say they were "wack"? Please! **--••--**--••**--••--**--••**--••--**--••**--••-

Ok...let's say Andre Cymone was known more in the rnb world than in crossover/pop world. Some of Prince's little "family" groups and people didn't get much mainstream fame, but they weren't complete unknowns either. [Edited 6/22/09 12:59pm] | |

Andre had a female group called "The Girls". There is a vid of one of their songs on youtube or was. Might not be there any longer "Lack of home training crosses all boundaries." | |

Is it just me or did Daniel get a nose job? People were saying something's "off" about his face and that may be just it. When he was young, his nose looked far bigger than it does now. | |
