"Hi we are not in right now
But if you leave your name and number
We'll get back to yoooooouu"
Those heavenly honey silk vocals came from lead singer Di Reed, Joi Marshall and Tonya Kelly better known as JADE!! Those lovely came on the scene with a vengeance, rocking Box braids and combat boots. Jade found their way into our hearts with hits like "I Just Wanna Love You", 5-4-3-2 (Yo Time Is Up) and their MONSTER hit single "Dont Walk Away". Its hard to believe that the trio's reign lasted for only three years (92-95). Releasing three CD's one platinum, one gold and a LIVE cd from a BET listening party. Having issues with their record label Giant records, the promotions and money was never right. Eventually the harmony between the group itself took its toll, all three members went into retirement.
These days 'Di Reed' is currently touring the world as a featured vocalist for Rod Stewart and continues her professional singing career by lending her vocal talents to support numerous music projects and industry heavyweights including Stevie Wonder, Smokey Robinson, Christina Aguilera, Elton John, Gwen Stefani, and many others. Earlier this year, the remaining original members of Jade. 'Tonya Kelly and Joi Marshall' reunited and enlisted vocalist Myracle Holloway as a new member and released a song on Valentines Day called "Baby Luv".
