Celebrating Dr. Maya Angelou

What a life, what a legacy – what an inspiration she has been to me throughout my life through her books, various memoirs, poetry, quotes, pearls of so much wisdom speeches, interviews…I mean when she spoke I had to stop and listen.
Thank you Ms. Angelou. Godspeed to a phenomenal woman.
Often, when I feel blue, a bit low and discouraged on days when I’m still taking verbal attacks online and around just for being me – for simply living my life knowing there are those who don’t wish me well ..I go to this for inspiration. Still I Rise!

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
