Happy Belated Anniversary “FLOWER” Released March 31, 1998 🎶🎉💃🏾🌺 Rewind performance of “Off The Hook” D-Dot Remix on The Rosie O’Donnell Show.. I have long ago noted how problematic, confusing and disappointing this “Flower” Atlantic Records experience was – on one hand while upon reflection years later feeling there was so much more gained and worthwhile. I forged everlasting fond memories with @jamizzi @tophatro @yxiaolivares Kishaya Dudley(King of Pop Michael Jackson’s “You Rock My World” 2001) | my trainer and friend Doug Blasdell 🕊️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ | It’s the journey not the destination!
“Flower” 🌺🎶🎉

Even the mountains bow to you,
The stars are ornaments in the sky, they testify

35 years ago today, Jody Watley dropped her second studio album, “Larger Than Life”. The album peaked at #16 & #5 on the R&B/Hip-Hop Albums Chart & is RIAA Certified Platinum. The singles released include RIAA Gold “Real Love”, the biggest hit off the album, peaking at #2 on the Billboard Hot 100 & #1 on the R&B/Hip-Hop Singles Chart, “Friends” featuring Rakim (#9 & #3), “Everything” (#4 & #3), & “Precious Love” (#87 & #51). Produced by Watley, André Cymone, Jeff Lorber, Rakim & Eric B, “Larger Than Life” is a R&B/New Jack Swing album with elements of Dance/Pop & took Watley’s sound & image to another level, helping her transition from her pop/dance 80s sound into the up-&-coming genre of New Jack Swing, a sound made popular from music composer Teddy Riley & Cymone & Lorber incorporated the sound into the album & ushered in R&B/Hip-Hop collaborations, production that hadn’t been done before. Watley, already a fashion trendsetter, experienced MAJOR mainstream success & elevation with her singles & colorful music videos, all of which would earn her 7 MTV Video Music Award Nominations: THATS HUGE! “Larger Than Life” is a CLASSIC album, that brought pop/dance/hip-hop fusion into music, helped transition Watley from the 80s into the 90s & continued to present Watley as the ever-so-innovative in her solo career. “Larger than Life” is always the goal ✔️. HAPPY 35th ANNIVERSARY “Larger Than Life”! 🎂🎊✔️🎉🔥❤️🔌✔️🔥🎶🎈🙌🏼🔌 #jodywatley #largerthanlife #80s #90s #ericbandrakim #hiphop #rnb
#nationaltheatreday One of the great experiences so far on this journey- the opportunity to be on Broadway portraying the iconic Rizzo (first black actress cast role) in the iconic musical GREASE! I had so much fun, great cast and crew – overcame my fear of remembering choreography-getting into character and encouraged. supported every step of the way! ❤️🙏🏾 I wish I had video 😞 #jodywatley #playbill #greasemusical #broadway #musicals #90s #gratitude :: Note – I’m not on ‘original cast recording’
