Jody Watley - Some Kind of Lover

[xxxfunk]

The guy on the white upright bass and keyboards in the video is her brother John Watley, the guy on drums is Andre Cymone (an old buddy of Prince) along with Greg Porter on guitar who's a very talented producer and INCREDIBLE guitar player....

[BiggussDikkus]

[kaliyuta]

@TheCartagena4 it was actually fasionable to have thick eyebrows back then.They were always excentuated with black eyeliner.

[love4red2]

Proud to be named JODY!!!

[bigphreaking]

Damn that still sounds good. Remember listening to this in my IROC Z28.

[rob1506oppd]

[roberthyde00]

nostogic boner!

[79resolution01]

[brucekentnyc]

You make me feel ohhh so unreal with finance you blacks make me feel oh so unreal.

[klugyboy]

[DaveWollenberg]

Hit #3 soul, #10 pop in Billboard. God bless!

[agirlyman]

Girly likey!

[Fannieschild3]

Best Jody Watley video.Shows her originality style & Beauty!

[dtripp62]

I miss girls like lisa lisa and cult jam and pebbles and jody they were hot and cant forget sade.

[speedoflite1]

I luv the primal sounding intro: Ahhhhhhhhh, AhHHHHHHH!!!!

Turn me on, turn me out.

[savannah197979]

This song is so cool it taunts u w/ the opening and then lets you have it with her voice and techno hook.

[FrevrYng]

Love her voice!!

[lkaa2]

I LOVE the 80s!!!!!

[rellenoz]

omg I remeber she sung this on MTV awards (i think). While the intro played she had dancers dressed like her and each one would get spotlighted but it wasn't her. Then she just came strolling from backstage singing in that white pants suit. Then on the second verse she just slid her wig off and had a hot short cut! I NEARLY DIED!!!It was A MAZING performance!!!

[ANTISLANG]

HER FACE IS KILLING ME...

[speedoflite1]

"Turn me on, turn me out

Make me feel, oh, so real"

~Shakespearean level!

[realfrantic]

Best opening minute to a song--everything builds so slowly and perfectly.

[speedoflite1]

Coolest vid!

[zombielust1969]

Oh my God her sense of style is killin' me!!!!

[scrabblemistres]

is the drummer the same guy from the "don't you want me" video?

[autographme]

I jam out to this beat when I can, I use to dress like this!!! Sexy coool!!! mmmm...good stuff!!!

[troyt47]

always loved this tune the beat the drums and bass....but most of all Jody....i was a funkster but this hit the spot too

[Hobiemi]

Can't nobody do it like Jody!

[bell677]

im in love all over again with jody !!!

[footlovinbear]

damn bak then they could sing their ass off,great voice

[mshortstop]

maybe the sexiest eyes in the game

[josymon]

Call me crazy but the guitar player looks a lot like Bobby Debarge.

[HaightStreetGroovy]

She was Waaaay before Rihanna.

[alphaacad]

wow memories !!! LOL

[Merrida]

Why is this so cool and Andre's solo stuff so bad?

[JellyBean2144]

@Merrida I know. It is mind blowing. Uncle Andre had some great ideas, it just never really clicked. But once he hooked up with auntie Jody, it was magic. Go figure.

[techblack]

Andre Cymone...ex bassist for Prince produced this....and married Jody as well.

[byronbenguche]

Was married to Jody Watley they divorced since then

[seldomsceen]

this is my shit..i was wanting to hear this BAD..shes so effing HOT!

[strawcream]

I stil rock this music even today...Hard...

[DaveWollenberg]

Love Jody with those hoop earrin's. Hit # 10 In Billboard. God bless!

[doppleganger69]

I love this song and video so much and can watch it endlessly. Jody is so sultry and seductive in this video. She's hot! And what about those dance moves?

[mzfreud]

she was doing the macarana...her clothes had a madonna feel to it .....check out andre cymone he is just too cool.

[XxLuvMJForeverxX]

Cant believe she kissed Michael Jackson and left the lipstick mark on his face..!!...LOL

*true*

[KeliMutiso]

At 2.13 - Some kinda lover - yeahh.

[1980Triumph]

this is her best video and my personal favorite song from her

[zeelove8]

love this vid, great memmories, i love Jody W!

[geno1201]

she has the most beatiful eyes

[strawcream]

@geno1201 ...Yes she does cat eyes...lol

[diepiriye]

Classic! This almost feels like it verges on early house, early club music. Hard to place her anywhere but o the dancefloor.

[whitesnakeprincess]

God....music videos were so COOL back in the late 80's!!!

[50331]

real tight oldschool cut jody is is so fly

[qajude20]

q monton de feos jajajaja pero la musica m encanto jajajajaaja

[sirsniffy]

[mrgb46]

Underrated artist and still looking good,too!!

[hairwoes]

Spandex, bangle earrings, great weave!!!!  Classic 80's!!!!!!!

[MrsNdao24]

...and I love this song...LOL.

[swpngegl27]

Ahh....living in the past again!!!

[Xscapefan4ever1408]

Jody Watley was the shit back in the 80's.

[champagnevoluptuous]

The only person I know of who makes spandex look good!

[MissPink789]

i wow i had forgotton about jody! i loved all her songs, this one and looking for a new love were def my faves!

[abernard555]

sexxx appeal

[atrayu90602]

What a little hottie she was.

[funkbrother2I6]

She's got that voice like she's singing in your ear.  Drives me wild!

[atrocchia]

Jody's debut solo album is terrific.

[twistedrane1]

she rocks ! great dance song of it's time !

i sure miss the 80's !

[wizardrowsy]

Everybody loves Jody!!!!:)

[snookerpumpkin]

who cares who got what off whom..the song is good..so just enjoy..you tell me who wasn't inspired by someone else or some other band...I haven't seen anything very original in so long I can hardly remember what original is

[spartan1914]

Oh please...just watch/listen and appreciate the different styles of music and fashion/passions of a variety of artists...

[cutecherryangel13]

Also britney stole janet jacksons moves

[fasterkillpussycat2]

erm...it's not copying. If that was the case then ever dancer after MJ would be in big trouble

[swirlclown]

Jodi Watley , sounds kind of like her British 90s era Jacki Graham.

[soniccage]

And please... do not answer again, I don't find Jody Watley's music that interesting to have an ongoing debate

I do doubt Jody was the first, possibly even Madonna

Usually some cool individual comes up with ideas and then they are snatched by pop (etc) marketeers

I think both Madonna and Jody were maybe part puppets there

:)

[fasterkillpussycat2]

erm...then why are you here, listening/watching a JODY video? If you're NOT a fan, then DON'T watch and comment. Easy? no?

[soniccage]

erm, first of all, Fuck off

(I do what I wanna do)

Secondly, I said i like some of her songs

Are you a bit of a retard ?

[fasterkillpussycat2]

*gasp* ooooh you can swear!

[BMWRedheadLawStudent]

she had"a string of hits"i love her!

yo amo mi bella(well beautiful in this video i thought because she was happy funny.smiling look serious then laughin again love it and the whole video was just a great one andre was a kutee here with shades on and very talented .he was dating her for a minute.miss them! janet and her back in the day was mi fave.the eyeliner coming out the side of her face like that is straight LATINA style we still say i wear it still this way as muchas.adios!

[Merrida]

This song was produced by Andre Cymone.He is playing the drum set in this video.

[superchick76]

I miss this video. I wanted to be jody watley when I was a kid. Thanks for the memories

[jabbar2020]

Check out her moves...very exciting..just like Janet Jackson..similar aite

[transgirlnz]

used to dance around to jody as a 13 year old..always loved her stye, looks, beats, dance moves...see her chanel belt !!!...and her band is hotttttt..what cuties....wonder what shes doing now

[shinobiteacher1]

50 yrs old and still beautiful

[mk2u73]

This woman is so beautiful. I had a friend that looked like her but she passed. Every time I see these vids it makes me think of me and her in the 80's.

[catgirl24]

Foxy Watley! :)

[SYNDICADO]

Ive met Whitney in person=LAME

Ive met Janet Jackson=Beautiful polite women.

MEETING JODy WAS DIFFRENT! something about her presence makes her really stand out.

[fatchickskinny]

Jody has one of those voices you can pick out of millions. I still love, love, love, her!

[swright1104]

Before there was Janet, there was Jody!

[MrSpirit19]

Are you sure Jody came before Janet? I thought Janet had Dream Street out b4 Jody debuted? just curious

[toriano33]

Good question... But I think Janet was a solo artist (Dream Street... Damn u remember that.lol) when Jody was still with Shalamar. Remember Jody was still with Shalamar in 82' when "A Night to Remember" was released I think she left about 2 years later. So Jody was out first but Janet was solo first. and for I just read she had another album before Dream Street called Janet Jackson.... Damn Janet.....lol

[isayrealallday]

yes janet really came out in 1982 with her janet album a few months before thriller came out

[yodasteveo]

very Madonna like

[Ryan92970]

please!!!!!

[blackonics]

young and stupid..jody came first..about a year later in 1983 the little white girl pops up and guess who she dresses like, moves like and even tries to sing like..yhat's right Jody Watley. You young people make me sick.

[yodasteveo]

So much negativity,.. you seriously need to take a chill - pill dude!..LMFAF

[PeligieIsis]

Wow, had no idea. Thanks for clearing that up. She is still fabulous

[best1forward]

madonna has not had an original idea in her carreer...even flashing a twat had been done before. jody is the true icon to me! look at shalamar's early recordings and you can clearly tell that madonna copied the fashion and the moves.

[PeligieIsis]

Yes she did.

[nouveauxdecadence]

What a load of toss. Jody and Madonna NEVER reminded me of each other in the 80s. I don't think madonna copied Jody Watley at all, what a load of bolloks!

[best1forward]

then watch jody pre 1983....the evidence is there...tell me something madonna didn't copy please.

[nouveauxdecadence]

I just don't see any so called "EVIDENCE" of Madonna copying Jody Watley in the Shalamar days at all. And I am not just saying that, as I was and still am a fan of Jody Watley's work then and now.

Anyhow, onto a positive!... I remember recording this video on MTV in 1988 and LOVED it. Still do, the fashion, chanel belt, leather jacket and white and black effect is still all so inspiring. All the videos from this album were brilliant!

[best1forward]

jody was on fire with both of her late 80's albums. there was a remix album of her best songs but the remixes were not very good unfortunately. Jody has certainly had a long carreer and she sure knew fashion. have a great day.

[soniccage]

This song was released 87/88 ?

Madonna was already sporting the style in 82/83

(see vids.)

[best1forward]

yes, this song was BUT i referred to jodie's earlier stuff with shalamar...the dance moves are there for you to see. some people can't see past madonna's twat to be observant of things.

[soniccage]

I think it all evolved around the same time, so really, who cares...

I don't think Madonna copied Jody Watley, nor do I think of Jody Watley as very creative (I feel Madonna is a tad more creative but she does milk ideas... as does Jody, I'm sure...), I do like her songs in a lighthearted manner though...

But I do not think one can compare them, only if you're looking for something with all might

There are a lot of differences

[best1forward]

no...of course not because madonna copied a jody that was not really well known outside of america and the UK dance scene. she copied for sure.

[soniccage]

One can't really compare them, apart from the style

But really, many were dressed like that

[wilkom91]

love the 80s!!!!

[jbthegrinder]

looks like solange

[pjrockytoptn]

I just loved Jody, does anyone know

where she is now?

[shiva4ever]

Brings back sweet memories....aah! Love Miss Watley....much respect!

[honeegrrl]

Man I was a huge Jody Watley Fan. Everything about her was just the coolest, her style of dress, her music, her voices. Jody is still cool.

[MissAndrene]

I love Jody because not only was she a fashionista, she never apologized for who she was. Plus I saw her at my Grad Nite at Disneyland and she was OFF THE HOOK!!!!!

[Zahc1958]

""...this song......is....so fantastic! and every time I hear it I am reminded of that night, and it being only song that played..."

Thank posting this....

[Zahc1958]

"...this song......is....so fantastic! and everytime I hear it I am reminded of the only light burning in the fire place...Thanks again and again....

[hotdrumchick]

Did anyone know that her sister is a porn actress?? Midori, I think her name is.

Always loved Jody---in Shalimar, too.

[jstewart713]

It seems like every decade has a sound except for this one the first decade of the 00s but i think it would have a sound if it was more good music like this out today

[hotdrumchick]

jstewart, this decade has a sound---sounds like crap!

(Very few exceptions.)

[sprintbass]

this decade and most of the 90s sounded like crap to me...in the 80s..there was seduction..dance music was all over the radio....and it was just prince and MJ..there was shalamar...Sade...tons of wonderful stuff..it was seductive and over the top...people used to go out dancing back then..those days are sadly gone..i picked up the bass in 84 and im 36 and im playing still..and im proud that my pedigree run to the 80s..if people say its old music i dont care..beats the crap out of top 40 now

[lawbabe1969]

Ditto!

[Manifestation]

This decade does have a sound.

Sadly, that sound is autotune.

[Flutter13ee]

@jstewart713 it doesn't really have a name either, like the 80's or the 90's

[PrincessAhnita]

Jody Waitley has nothing to do with Beyonce and I am shocked that her name would even be mentioned on Jody's video. Beyonce was a nappy headed, short haired little girl when Jody was singing with Shalamar. Beyonce is just light skinned with no real talent. Some people just pride light skinned people. Jody has long, natural hair and many more years of professional entertaining experience. Jody is a better dancer & w/a better shaped too. She's retired very well. Beyonce is nothing!

[HibaEntertainment]

Beyonce is the shit!!!!

[rudielor]

What happen to just appreciating great talent. Both are talented beautiful ladies. They are not suppose to be the same, that's what makes them unique, Bswear. I see no resemblance to Beyonce or her sister since you asked.

[broke2471]

So sick of these damn Beyonce critters saying that chics name...Damn.

Jody W. was the truth back in the day, This album sold so many millions for her, glad she went solo and achieved the success she did...Love Ya JW. She's a true advocate for gay rights...

[wicked5lyday]

Why dont you get over it and stop hating. Id you dnt like beyonce then dont say her name, How is she hurting or benefitting. News, Shes not so since shes not worried about you obviuosy why do seem to keep her on your mind. Do you hate someone that much, Someone you've dont know,or even know for that matter. Thats the typical simple minded thinking that gets you no were. Cause you so worried about someon elses shit.

[broke2471]

@wicked - BITCH!!! Here U go, U must be one of them Beyonce Ghetto Critters...I knew one of them hoes was up in here...First off, I can say what the fuck I want, this is a free site, secondly Bitch is your damn name Beyonce, or are U related to the hoe, I didn't think so. So I can say what the fuck I want. I swear U Beyonce critters need to seek some help cuz yall jump on the bandwagon to get your asses kicked trying to defend that bitch & she could care less about yall dumb asses...

[wicked5lyday]

It seems you appear to like drama, and thrive from being a nobody

who isnt going to go anywhere in life because you love the attention of negativity.

So in that matter im just going to pray for you.

Thats all I can do for you I mean its not like im gonna ever meet you so i can whoop that ass lets be realistic here

Oh and thanks kindly for the comment i really enjoyed knowing i affected your

since of character for a brief moment

[broke2471]

@wicked&ugly - By the looks of your screenname, you must be the hoe who likes drama, for one, didn't nobody ask you to reply to anything I said, that's where the drama started and two, just because I mentioned that bitch Beyonce is what really ticked you off. Apparently yo Momma didn't raise you to understand that other people have opinions that differ from yours & it's sad because in this life, your dumbass can't argue & fight with people who have their own opinion...Stupid Fucka.

[jeffreyBboy]

Amen Tonster1998 it's funny I saw all of those acts in concert. I was living in NYC and the City was hot with these acts burning up the charts. GREAT dance music... ahhhh the good ole dayz.

[Tarantulisimo]

Ahhhh what an awesome era....LOOOOVED all the 3rd & 4th generation Prince stuff. Andre Cymone wrote & produced this song. Coincidentally(?), Prince had already previously written a song called "Some Kinda Lover" 4 Apollonia 6. Hmmmm........

[Traycuzsex]

Jody=Class Act

Beyonce=OverExposed!!!!!!!..lo­l

[mzdyson]

she does NOT look like BEYONCE or her SISTER, ya'll just have Beyonce on the BRAIN! Jody has a style that is all her own. Beyonce couldn't touch it if she tried!

[LaTainaIndia]

She is thee flyest!

Going to see her next Friday at B.B. Kings in NYC.

Can't wait to see my very first idol ;-D

[Tonster1998]

well every year in the 1980's was Madonna's year.

[Tonster1998]

1987. They year of Madonna, Janet Jackson, Taylor Dayne, Expose, Jody Watley, The Cover Girls, and Whitney Houston. Go 1987.

[katze007]

i think she looks a little bit like beyonce

[086apollo440]

Biggest ride of the 80's-yee haaaa x x x

[asadraza5367]

Jody Watley is one of the best R&B females of all time. She used to sing with Shalamar, then went to the UK and 3 years later came back to the U.S. and hot it big as a solo artist. Wonderful music.

[PrettyOxymoron]

HA! I love it..lol..I remember watching the video as a little girl...VH1..cuz they didn't have BET in Hawaii at the time..Love the 80 moves..ha-ha..and the hair..

[Tarangracie]

oh my gosh....this was during the time of my first love... David McDougal in milwaukee.. almost 20 years ago

[FractalRaven]

she was off the hook back in the day. my 1st celeb crush.

[PuttyPauline]

I love me some Jody Watley. and girlfriend is from Chicago, my hometown.

[Greenhatwalker]

Great song loved it then love it now!

[turbo930gunmetal]

great song . i wonder who tought her how to dance? lol

[DMASEDAGRT]

JODY IS JUST FABULOUS....

[scorpiopatty33]

she looks just as great now as she does in this video!

[shortydog27]

Whenever I see a big pair of earings I call them "Jody Watley" earings! LOL!!!

[dkndallas]

Your comment brought back memories and a laugh! My friends and I back in the day called big, hoop earrings, "Jody Watley's" also!!!! I just loved her and Janet Jackson in the 80's!!!

[RabbitWonderful]

Is that Andre Cymore in the video?

[DEEDUBB1979]

Yes Andre' Cymone is the one wearing the hat and sunglasses. Jody's 80's weave is off the hook.

[peggylovesprince]

I love Jody Watley...She is the reason why I wore those big 80's skirts? :) LOL

[marvothemustang]

What ever happened to the girl?????

[DigitalJediMaster]

Just about to release a new album.

[branchwater7]

girlfriend turned the party out in the 80s!!!! she had that pink bustier ROCKIN' and those bo peep pantaloons JUMPIN'. i'm still in love with her music. still... a... thrill!!!!!

[twebb63]

Now we Know Where Madonna Learned Here Moves..and Style....Jody is the Queen...!

[bell677]

absolutely stunning lady

[falconeye1966a]

She sure is real foxy mama

[Redcub7]

Jody is one of the most attractive women I've ever laid eyes on!

[joesolese]

clevawoman you hit right on the head. Jody Watley was with Shalamar way back in the day and actually got her start on soul train. Her music takes me back to the late 80's when there was good music not like that stuff now. No offense to all but there is no more R&B like there was then. And as for the "Black Madonna" image she was Jody not Madonna and always will be.

[123djblive]

i got her playboy mag!!!

[clevawoman]

u sure that wasn't her sister...ha
