I won an auction on ebay last week for a UK cd single by Jermaine Stewart (remember We Don't have to take our clothes off). The single has 4 tracks Tren de Amor (train of love), Got to be Love (the Cymone mix), Tren de Amor (express mix), and When Sex Becomes a Religion.

Got to be love was written by Andre Cymone and Jermaine Stewart in 1987, the other tracks were 1989. I don't know if the regular track was on any of Jermaine's cds or not. This is the remix. Its pretty funky for '87. Kinda like Love/Hate that he did with Peebles.

anymore info, throw it.

Andre worked with Jody Watley during that time for a few years&remember Jermaine Stewart did a tribute song to Jody on the song"Everybody wants Jody".that Jam came out in 86 I Believe.Andre did alot of Session,Writing&Production work back in the day.

got a Woman living LA yeah yeah.that was the cut.

Yep, Andre, Jody, and Jermaine were all good friends -- Jody and Andre moreso If you look at Jermaine's albums, I believe you'll find several songs co-written with (or written by) Andre, and of course, a lot of Jody's '80s songs were co-written with her then-husband, Andre.

"Met her at a concert and she said hey, Andre Cymone won't you pass some luvin' my way"

nice cut for sho. too bad he didn't have much else to offer after this cut.

I got the "Livin in the New Wave" Tape as well.I use to bump that Jams on Fridays.

Yea I have the first album. Livin in the new wave is ok but other than kelly's eyes the album is crap imo.

intha916 said:

yep Andre got to Carried away with the Synths&trying to do his Brand of New Wave.He put away His Funk Chops for LightWeight New Wave licks&It cost Him as a Solo Artist IMHO but Damn did He Ever Make up for it on Jody Watley as a Writer&Producer.

The other song i was thinking of was "So Fine" that was a nice track as well.

I liked "Baby Don't Go" the best, and of course, "Kelly's Eyes," and for some weird reason "Voice on the Radio" maybe because of something in the lyrics. "M.O.T.F." is one of my favs off his 2nd album, followed by the last three songs. And 5 out of 8 songs on A.C. are pretty killer. Too bad he didn't do more.

My favorite ACymone song is "The Dance Electric!"

"Baby Don't Go" was my Cut as well off the first album along with "Kelly's Eyes".off the 2nd Album I dug "What are we doing here"?

My favorite Andre Cymone song is "Pretty Wild Girl" from his 1985 'AC' album.That song reminds me of Prince's "The Beautiful Ones".

Jasziah said:

I only have Andre's 'AC' album,but I am familiar with the two albums that came before it.His second album (in 1983) featured the minor hits "You Make Me Wanna Dance" and the Prince-like "What Are We Doing Here?".

Are any of his albums available on CD?

AC was released on cd.
