Jody Watley

Jody Watley is a Grammy Award-winning pop singer who was born in Chicago, Illinois on January 30, 1959. Her father was a minister/disc jockey, and her goddaughter was the late soul singer Jackie Wilson. She has two children, Lauren and Arie, and was married to producer Andre Cymone.

SATURDAY NIGHT EXPERIENCE

In November 1999, Jody reactivated her independent label, Avitone, and released her seventh studio album The Saturday Night Experience. A collection of organic club music tracks, was released in Japan, where she was still a bankable artist. Meanwhile, R&B group Destiny's Child released a cover of Watley's Flower album track "Sweet Sixteen", on their multi-platinum The Writing's On The Wall. The next year, MCA released The Jody Watley Millennium Collection, a sort of leaner version of Watley's previous Greatest Hits album.
