Jody Watley ‘When A Man Loves A Woman’ PM Dawn Remix 🎥 directed by Jody Watley On the bold, topical spoken word composition by Watley : “..moments like this make Intimacy more than just into the valley of dope beats and themes of love, relationships, commitment, honesty and respect. In a genre where women are playing it rough and tough now, Watley delivers a knock out blow with a feather.” - Amy Linden, People Magazine, 1993 Jody Watley | Remixes Of Love (1994) — the now globally available album. Originally released exclusively in Japan in 1994 through MCA Victor as a companion to the Intimacy & Affairs of The Heart albums, “Remixes Of Love” is now available worldwide via Universal Music Group (UMG) not to be confused with new and current Jody Watley independent releases, but definitely worth checking out! Featuring an eclectic collection of R&B, house, hip-hop, funk, and dance remixes. 🎧 Rediscover ‘Intimacy’ and ‘Remixes Of Love’ on your favorite music platform!

#FlashbackFriday Jody Watley performing “Real Love” on the German TV show EuroTops in 1989. “Real Love,” from her platinum sophomore album “Larger Than Life” 💛was another major international hit for Jody, reaching the Top 10 and earning Gold certification and 6 MTV VMA Awards Nominations. Love this performance and the whole Larger Than Life era — the music, the look, the spontaneity of her movements … everything. 🎶✨ It’s cool how the show incorporated the illustration art from the inner sleeve of the album. “Real Love” Still playing. 💫 #JodyWatley

Bob Mackie 87, a legend of glamour, leaves behind an extraordinary legacy that forever changed the way music, television and entertainment could look. Known for his dazzling craftsmanship, intricate beading, sequins and unapologetic glamour, Mackie created unforgettable fashion moments for some of the most iconic women in entertainment Marilyn Monroe, Cher, Diana Ross, Carol Burnett Show, Tina Turner + more. His designs didn’t simply dress performers — they helped create an entire visual language of stardom. For Jody Watley’s 1990 video of the Cole Porter classic “After You, Who?” — featured on the landmark Red Hot + Blue album and film project benefiting the fight against HIV/AIDS — Mackie contributed the stunning beaded gown Jody wears in the video “..his designs inspired me from my childhood and what an honor to wear one of his designs in my solo career and for such an important project ..” It was the perfect meeting of music, fashion and artistry: Jody’s sophisticated jazz interpretation of a Cole Porter classic, framed by the timeless glamour of Bob Mackie. A beautiful reminder of how fashion can become part of music history. Rest in peace, Bob Mackie. Thank you for giving the world so much beauty, imagination and glamour. ✨🙏🏽🕊️ #BobMackie #JodyWatley #RedHotBlue
