AFFECTION

After having parted ways with MCA Records, Jody took an independent and entrepreneurial path releasing her fifth solo album, Affection, on July 11, 1995 through her own Avitone Records label. The noted independent Bellmark Records distributed it. It sold approx. 35,000 copies and even spent a few months on the Billboard R&B chart, which were respectable accomplishments for an independent release.
