Jody Watley. Real Love Celebrates 25 Years.
When I look at my children, I think of the passage of time primarily, otherwise I just live life. Thinking it’s been 25 years since my second album and ‘Real Love’ makes me smile. I remain proud of the work. The single was written by Andre Cymone and I – he the music, me the lyric and melody. The video was directed by David Fincher (who went on to become an Academy Award winning director) and who fulfilled my wish when I told him I wanted to be on the runway – fashion forward. It all holds up quite well 25 years later…and so have I!
Julio Castiglioni posted to my Facebook page today: “This week, 25 years ago, REAL LOVE reached the #2 in Billboard Hot 100. Good times in music!”

A Groovy Birthday Greeting to Ron Trent.
I met Ron Trent in 2000, when joining forces with Maurice Bernstein with a license for my underground “Saturday Night Experience” which was licensed by Giant Step. Remixes were commissioned by renowned Chicago based afro-funk remix/producer/artist Ron Trent, as well as Blaze. In 2008, I had the pleasure of performing at one of Ron and Sonia Hassan’s events in Chicago at Sonoteque -underground club magic.
This mix appears on the critically hailed Jody Watley full length “Midnight Lounge” as well, Blues and Soul Magazine called it ‘the best album of her career.” Get it: Here

Jody Watley and legendary author Jackie Collins in 1998, on the heels of Collins releasing the novel “Thrill” and debuting her talk show Jackie Collins Hollywood. I was in fact thrilled to meet Ms. Collins as I’m a huge fan of her books. I will never be a red head again!

This photo is from my kitchen. I’ve always tried to create a sanctuary of love in my home, flowers, candles, laughter, good food and good vibes. When my children were little, their friends would always say our place was so peaceful and later soothing as they became teens. There’s a song called “Sanctuary” on the forthcoming “Paradise.” A positive attitude makes every day better and enables us to hopefully exude something positive in the world, and if you have children or grandchildren it’s like paying it forward in this crazy often stressful world and our encounters with agitated people – remember your attitude is YOUR choice and what better place than to surround yourself with joy than home?
