I lit extra candles today, didn’t capture them all here .. next to pics of my Dad celebration remembrance his born day today January 29 – my father Rev. John Watley Jr. was my first true encourager- his Princess Jody – His SuperStar, as he called and claimed when I was a little girl .. Love is Eternal – though he passed away decades ago in 1982-he’s always in my heart and memories – and I always hope to continue to make him proud and follow my own path. His sudden passing changed my life – to live your own life with joy and cherish each day – weather your storms and keep going as best you can.

Happy Birthday Rakim.
Not just one of the greatest MC’s of all time, but a humble down to earth guy that I’m proud to have this connection.
“Friends” peaked at number three on the Hot Black Singles chart in July 1989, but the big news is it managed to do what no previous R&B/Rap collaboration had done before: crossover to the Hot 100 charts. “Friends” reached number nine on the Billboard Hot 100 in August 1989. ” – Okayplayer
Jody Watley Classic Image of The Day. Vintage Glam and Two Key Elements of Style.
Jody Watley pictured in vintage dress and clutch attending legendary photographer Herb Ritts birthday party in 1991. “You don’t have to spend a grip and wear designer clothes to look like a million bucks. Style is finding what works for you. Today vintage and repurposed clothing are more commonplace so seek out these options – you’d be surprised as well what you’d find at Goodwill – many items barely or gently worn. In addition you can often find cool deals at consignment stores as well, though more on the pricey end. Pair vintage with contemporary but most of all know what works for you not what trends are. With the prevalence of designers fashion and Instagram photo opps with pricey outfits – don’t get caught up in that game.

My first label Phonogram was not on board with my vision so we quickly parted ways..you’d think because I was in London it wouldn’t have been an issue but it was. Black artists are always often pressured to conform to more ‘relatable’ imagery. On my subsequent American debut and since..I’ve always navigated incorporating high fashion with edgy street style to varying results..but always what I wish to convey – hits and misses.. it’s all uniquely me.
Happy Anniversary ‘Everything’ – January 20.
In the excitement of Inauguration Day 2021, I forgot to post this as Happy Anniversary to “Everything” from my second album “Larger Than Life.” I’ve blogged previously that January has always seemed to be a great month for my music – and it’s my birth month as well.
I love performing this song live in concert, full version or unplugged it’s always a heartfelt part of my show and emotional fan favorite.
“Everything”
Peaked at #4 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart! My 6th Top 10 Hot 100 Single as a solo artist.
