Jade - Amongst Anenomes

Copied!

Sheep in the meadow, don't stray too far from the fields
Cows in the courtyard, you heed the farmer's call
Farmer's boy, you work hard while you're young
Hear me well, hear the song from the sea

Old black crow, beware the scarecrow
Too much rain will drown young crops again
Hear me well, hear the song from the sea
Hear me well, hear the song from the sea

Sleep has brought me to the sea
Here I sit amongst anemones
Hеre, kind sir, some flowers from thе sea
I am here amongst anemones

Wishing well, your pail is dry
Young lovers have stood by your side
Faithful dog, you please your master well
You follow where 'ere he tells
Hear me well, hear the song from the sea
Hear me well, hear the song from the sea

Biography

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.
