Jody's music was cool, and she was a sexie woman. Too bad she was not that strong a vocalist! Could have possibly been an even bigger star, even though I'm not sure why she was as big as she was. There were much better singers during that particular era that didn't get their due. Barbara Weathers of Atlantic Starr comes to mind

[retrorhythms]

@kaabbaaq1 Her combination of well-crafted songs (most of which she co-wrote), natural dance abilities, and striking visual presentation are some of the reasons she hit big and has continued to remain relevant in the industry. And though she may not be a tear-the-house-down vocalist, she has an engaging style which draws the listener in.

Thank you for posting this interview for "Affairs Of The Heart" I continue to challenge myself as an artist, writer and producer. I was just having fun with Donnie - there is a message within the interview if one takes time to listen.

[retrorhythms]

@jwatley1 You're most welcome, Jody! Thanks for continuing to provide meaningful music with sincere messages :-)

[LargerThanLife2]

Retro I am Jody's number 1 fan! I am so happy! Thanks for posting these classics. I remember when she hosted Video Soul for Donnie, just when she got her new tattoo. Thank you, thank you!

[retrorhythms]

You're welcome! You might have some competition for being the number 1 fan, though;-)

I remember when she hosted VS, too, when she had the really short hair. I'm wondering if I caught a segment or two of that on tape! I was 11 at the time!

I LOVE JODY  WATLEY.

[LaTainaIndia]

She's such a flirt.

What happened to the female and male urban artist who can speak eloquently about their music. Even if they can't, you can still see the passion and desire about what they do

[ziemniak66632]

AFFECTION! Love YOU!

[wh0m33]

He asked her one question and she turned into a philosopher. LOL She is gorgeous!

[iroc31407]

even Jody couldn't resist those beautiful green eyes...no woman can. I miss you Donnie Simpson...come back and let us have you again.

[2MrBlack1]

how can you not love Jody ;- )

[livinforwestwood]

I love her Azzedine Alaia top! So 90's! Jody was a major part of the fashion zeitgeist!

[SwingItLikeMoe]

Donnie was such a nerd, lol.
