Jade - Fly Me To The North

Copied!

Fly me to the north to where the gentle lilacs never bloom
To where their fragrance never once again will enter my room
To where the whiteness is the only thing that I can see
I just don't want to have to feel your sadness all around me

Fly me to where the branches of the tall oak tree can’t shield me
To where the butterfly will never again fly past me
To where the moonbeams cannot light the sadness of your face
To where the cold will numb my heart so that you cannot hurt me

But on the way, I will stop by the bluest of all seas
I will find me a sea smooth shell
And I will listen to the softness as I put it to my ear
To my ear, to my ear

Fly me to the north to where the gentle lilacs never bloom
To where their fragrance never once again will enter my room
To where the whiteness is the only thing that I can see
I just don't want to have to feel your sadness all around me

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.
