That Devante Swing incident where he got beat down pretty badly and robbed happened to him before Jodeci even knew Suge Knight. That incident is what made them actually become cool. Some New Jersey ppl had did that to him.

Classic track....

Had no idea it was written for Rick and that they were engaged.

No wonder they had so much chemistry on Fire and Desire.

Teena said that her and Rick sung Fire+Desire with every type of emotion you could name..From fightin/cussin each other out on stage to where the audience thought it was just them ad libbing...They got down in Pittsburgh, but Rick said that wouldn't fly in a song, so she called it Por Tu Ge se Love

Robbed us of future Jimi classics, breh was about to experiment heavy with the Jazz genre. I can only imagine what he could've done with the Fusion movement

They treated Thomsianna aka Tammi Terrell jacked up. They knew David Ruffin and James brown was kickin her ass. Nobody helped her.

Only person who was there for was Marvin. When she died, Marvin went down in a spiral.

I'm amazed a major Tami Terrell film has never been in production. That's an almost guaranteed Best Female Actress tier role if the movie is done right. Her story is tragic as fukk.
