In the end Klymaxx was basically tryin 2 be an answer to "The Time", but they never had half the chops that even "Taste Of Honey" had let alone Morris and the fellas. Then The Mary Jane Girls was another Vanity/Appollonia 6 destined 4 no more than 2 or three hits that you KNOW they didn't write lol


Wasn't the girl group concept Rick's before Prince? Either way
it wasn't even close as to who was more talented. Mary Jane Girls.
I disagree with the Taste of Honey assessment. whofarted


lol "Taste Of Honey" was the only other black all girl band I could compare 'em too, but they played a hell of a lot better than Klymaxx ever did. You ever see their reunion show on VH1? They were sloppy as hell.

I didn't think it was nor did the crowd especially considering
they had very little time to pull it off. Just watched it on
youtube.MC Lyte even was amazed at how they pulled it off
after a 15 year absence. Don't get me wrong Taste of Honey was cool
but they were not an all female band. They were a female duo who
happened to play guitars. When they toured they were definitely
backed by male musicians. I dig Taste of Honey but Klymaxx chops
were harder.

Yes along with Joyce Irby and another writer.
My favorite from this album was Divas Need Love Too.

I know i stated that earlier. I was wondering what happened to her
because she didn't show up at all on the VH1 bands reunited show.
She may have been in rehab or something. All the ladies have aged
somewhat but damn she really has aged. She looks like she can be
one of John Witherspoon's women now.

Klymaxx and the MJGs fell apart at the same got damn time too. disbelief


I was pissed off how the MJG's shit fell apart. They were due to release
an album called Conversation in 86. My ass was constantly calling the
record store for the release date and it kept getting pushed back. All the
while Rick got into a dispute with Motown and couldn't use the name anymore.
He wound up giving some of the songs to Val Young in 87 on her Private
Conversations album.

Ironically i've been in a Klymaxx mood today so i dug out some
of the old stuff and i actually stumbled across Bernadette's solo album.
Hadn't pulled it out in damn near 16 years. I actually got a promo back
then from a friend who used to work for MCA. I liked I Look Good and
Straight Jacket Love Affair but the album itself was a hot mess.

What's funny is i didn't even miss her until i saw the show last night, I went back and watched Bands Reunited and i was like "she wasn't there" and they didn't even bring her up

I visited the band's facebook page. Bernadette let everyone know who
had been inquiring about Robbin that she had a very bad life experience
and is glad she is alive and well. Bernadette will be on the Tom
Joyner morning show tomorrow morning at 8:45.

Yup, that's Jimmy and Terry on the production, the album this song is on, "Girls Will Be Girls", is a good one IMO, Jimmy and Terry produced a few more on that one too.

I was wondering about that too. You know, they didn't mention if she went off into drugs, had a disease or what! She reminded me so much of Frankie (Keyshia Cole's mom) when I saw her. I wanted to laugh, but couldn't bring myself to do it.

Those girls all looked ROUGH. All of 'em. I turned off that Unsung. It's the only one besides the Clark sisters that I never watched. It was a completely unnecessary and uninteresting ep

I was wondering the same thing. I didn't want to be judgemental but damn she looked rough like she'd been through some shit.

Much love to Bernadette....."Drama According To" was ahead of it's time, I always thought.

And I agree with Phunk here.....no disrespect to "A Taste Of Honey".....I love them.....and they are REALLY good musicians.....

But I'm sorry.....I saw Klymaxx in their prime.....those gurls were HUGE.....played all positions sincerely.....and really exciting to watch.

I miss you gals. Wish you could set "it all aside" & BE the "girls in the band" again. Just for the music, you know?
