Jade - Emanation of Decay

Copied!

Transgressions through life’s procession
Endless torture by its deeds
Voice of reason and gods’ seed
Dispossession of the Qi (ch’I = Xai )

May forever heavens fail
For the glory of a night in hell
May the fever once more sail
Emanation of decay

Dead heart, green stone of times
Strayed into Yama’s court
Fleeing souls to the light
Captured by the ghastly ones
Stern and fierce awaits
The water where no fire burns

edit bio

The group Jade was originally composed of Joi Marshall, Angela Slates and Debra Mitchell.

Producer Vassal Benford sold the song “I Wanna Love You” before Marshall, Slates and Mitchell’s voices were recorded on the song. In order to keep the song on the soundtrack for the 1992 Kid ‘n Play comedy Class Act, Benford had to reproduce the song with the actual voices of the group members. When that could not be accomplished he implored the record label to drop Slates and Mitchell from the group and replace them with Di Reed and Tonya Kelly who were the voices on the song and who were signed to his production company. Tonya Kelly and Di Reed were signed on by producer Vassal Benford, and the group’s name was extended to Jade.

Tonya grew up in Chicago listening to jazz vocalists such as Sarah Vaughan and Nat King Cole. Joi Marshall was also from Chicago but was raised on Motown, especially Diana Ross. Di Reed grew up in Houston singing gospel anywhere she could.
