Jermaine Stewart – Jody (US 12″)

BURNING THE GROUND EXCLUSIVE 1986

“Jody” is a song by American singer Jermaine Stewart, released in 1986 as the third single from his album Frantic Romantic. It was written by Stewart, Narada Michael Walden, and Jeffrey Cohen, and produced by Walden.

In America, the single became Stewart’s most successful single on the dance charts, peaking at #9, and became his third single to enter the Billboard Hot 100, peaking at #42. In Canada, the single made a brief appearance on the chart, peaking at #81.

“Jody” was inspired by Jody Watley of American music group Shalamar, for which Stewart had been a backing vocalist and dancer in the early 1980s.

Watley went on to co-write two singles on Stewart’s 1988 follow-up album, Say It Again: “Don’t Talk Dirty to Me” and “Is It Really Love?,” both of them with her husband of the time André Cymone, who co-produced and performed on the album.

The B-side for the single, “Dance Floor”, was also taken from the album Frantic Romantic. It was written by Stewart and Roy Carter.
