    I really miss the energy and creativity of the 80s. The spectrum of music was much broader and the artist were so much more unique. Bring back the 80s!

    When I was in college in the 80s I had just turned 21 and after a few months I was bored of the San Diego bar scene. I wanted to go to Los Angeles to hit their bar scene. My buddy got us as far as Orange County. We were at a bar near Cal State Fullerton and I was dancing with a pretty gal when I heard the drum beats of this song come on, there, on each wall motorized projector screens dropped from the ceiling and this song came on. My mind was so freaking blown. I couldn't help but watch her. The song ended, the screens went back up Never to return the rest of the night>
    Oh yeah, Jody. You are magical.

    One of the most gorgeous creatures to ever grace this Earth. She is like a modern day Nefertiti. The fact that she has tremendous talent and style in addition to that breathtaking beauty makes her one of the most captivating musical stars we've ever had in the U.S. For awhile I thought she had a chance to give Madonna a run for her money, but the quality of her albums started to slip after the first two and she was unable to regain the necessary momentum to reclaim her prominence.. Regardless, she will always be a favorite of mine, and I have to say, when people are unaware of her it drives me nuts!

      @marcbbaby5402 Год назад +3

      Her music quality did not slip, she made several great records after her first two. I think hers sales dipped partly because she was growing as a person and artist and her music became more mature and not all dance pop RnB. Her Affairs of the Heart album is her best work (in my opinion) with excellent dance, mid tempos and ballads with adult/real life themes and she sounds amazing. Sometimes music fans put artists in a box and don't or can't embrace their growth. It has happened to many singers.

    I'm a HARD ROCKING and HEAD BANGING METALHEAD from the 1980's. Although my favorite genre is HARD ROCK/HEAVY METAL, I have to admit other genres back in the 1980's had great music as well.

    Jody did her thang back in the 80's. Still can't figure out how she fell off? She was right up there with Madonna, Whitney and Janet.

    • @writerforlifeify
      @writerforlifeify 10 лет назад +2

      Are you alright? You might as well also say she's on par with Barbra Streisand & Diana Ross....and oh, let's just include Mozart & Vivaldi, maybe Elvis, too.

    • @bryancee5150
      @bryancee5150 10 лет назад +18

      writerforlifeify I'm quite alright actually and stand firm on my previous comment. Speaking of my comment, what exactly has you in such a tizzie? From '87 to '89 Jody Wately had the hot videos, the hit songs, the fashions and high profile that placed her right up there with her contemporaries. Clearly, you must have been a mere child in the 80's because if you were of age, you would know this and would never have questioned my comment.

    • @writerforlifeify
      @writerforlifeify 10 лет назад +1

      Child or not, then or now, it matters not. The point is I have EARS! Her videos are prosaic, banal, dull; her voice is bland, stale-soda-flat; her fashions unoriginal (80s, 'nuf said) Place her on what pedestal you will, she doesn't appeal to MY ear!

    • @bryancee5150
      @bryancee5150 10 лет назад +17

      writerforlifeify It is absolutely your perogative to not like her as an artists. However, your not liking her does not void her accomplishments or change the fact that during that time, many listeners DID enjoy her work.

    • @writerforlifeify
      @writerforlifeify 10 лет назад +1

      Firstly, I made no reference to Janet in my prior posts. Secondly, you're not listening to MOI; I neither overtly stated nor implied that Madonna can actually SING...I mean, c'mon...her pipes are not exactly the calibre of Céline Dion, Streisand, Susan Boyle, Toni Tennille, Karen Carpenter, etc.
      Madonna held my (then juvenile attention) for a brief spell then lost it by the close of the 80s. Perpetual drama, taboo-pushing, & image re-invention ploys are the tactics of the essentially untalented but business-savvy 'artists'. And she was never box-office gold as either an actor or director. Her track record in cinema speaks for itself but I digress.....
      Dusty Springfield (I just discovered her)...now there's a VOICE!
      And yes, I do write: fiction/poetry/lyrics.
      I don't need a music class...I listen to lots of 70s music & classical; Mozart & Vivaldi. : )

    I haven't heard this song in a minute. She simply owned this first album and her fashion sense was fierce!!! I am 51 and still enjoy and often wear my big hoop earrings, plus that black cat liner look - remember copying that look as well. Andre Cymone is simply YUMMY!! I still recall him having a minor hit back in 82 -83 with a song called "Kelly's Eyes".

    Jodi Watley was one of my childhood faves. The voice that sounded like Motown, the cutting funky 80s bop, the punky city style. I miss this moment. Wish I could've lived through it as an adult.
