The Milli Vanilli post had me thinking: Whatever became of some of your favorite artists from 1980's and 1990's? I have always wanted to know the status on any of the following:

1) Soul II Soul
2) Living Color
3) Expose
4) Jodeci
5) Silk
6) Gloria Estefan
7) Taylor Dane
8) Bone thugz N Harmony
9) Anita Baker
10) C&C Music Factory

Anita and Taylor have released albums over the past 4 or 5 years. Anita's received some attention (it went Gold) but Taylor's didn't.

not my fav artist, but i have been wondering whatever happened to Eve,
was it the 'prince curse'?

her solo album was pretty big, iirc, but i haven't seen or hear from her
since then.

Expose are back together,performing regularly.They played two shows in my area earlier this year.And it's the original three girls (one member left the group in the early 90s,but she's back).

Gloria Estefan is signed to Burgundy Records,and she still tours as well.

Anita Baker is working on a new album as we speak.There are rumors that it will be a jazz album produced by Prince.

Living Colour are still recording and touring , there have been therads about them here

Female rappers have fallen on hard times.Eve,Da Brat and Lil' Kim aren't nearly as popular as they used to be,and even Missy Elliott can't seem to get a new CD released.

Jodeci....

Taylor Dane, nearly became an American Idol judge, otherwise shes still singing and released an album a while ago.
Soul II Soul was a collective that released two more albums after their first one in 1990 and one in 1992. As you know they were a collective of artists and I heard Jazzie B (real name Beresford Romeo) went solo and ended up in prison a while ago, one of the female singers died, and I think Karon Wheeler has resigned from music, but Soul II Soul has long since ceased to exist as a collective entity.

Ernest, Soul II Soul were huge in our part of the world (Britain/New Zealand/Europe)

They were huge here too, but frankly aside from their two songs that were popular, that CD SUCKS, and they never did much after that. The singers and members of the group went onto work in production a lot.

whatever happen to poe. i used to love poe, then she disappeared!

I agree the second album 1990 Vol2 A new decade was pretty self indulgent, a bit of a crash and burn as their first was so good.

They used to frequently talk about a "reunion" but I guess it never happened.
