    Devante's genius was derailed. He is a GENIUS. People tend to overuse the word, attributing it to basically anybody who's successful in an industry. But Donald Degrate, Jr. was an INCREDIBLE musical visionary. His music lived and breathed. I can't adequately describe how good he was. I hope he heals and comes back in either R&B or gospel.

    Thank you for acknowledging the HUGE influence Jodeci had on R&B back then. They LITERALLY changed the sound of R&B. It's like 90's R&B grew up and stopped being so sweet since Jodeci came along. Pop R&B never lost it's street edge again. There really is a Before and After moment for R&B that Jodeci is all but entirely responsible for.

      I wonder does he still produce music? It sad that they only release four albums not 10 or 15 albums from 1995 through 2015. Yes The Hailey brothers became a duo,Devante produced songs through the time. Even though their last album didn't do well I hope they're planning on releasing a fifth album by the time their biopic comes out there.

    Jodeci was to R&B what Richard Pryor was to comedy. Boyz II Men was to R&B what Bill Cosby was to Comedy. One was raw, the other was safe, both were GREAT. I always looked at those two like that.

My all time favorite RNb group with a genius producer. Devante was on another level. Paisley Park didn't open the door brcause you had allready Peasley Park in you!

    Jodeci which are brothers Devante,Dalvin and K-CI and Jo-Jo Hailey brothers they first started singing in church choir in their younger lives.They were signed to Uptown records by Mr Andre Harrell and his intern Sean Combs "Puff Daddy",they sing harmoniously blend with R&B music.They were a male quartet R&B of the 1990s just as Boyz II men,my favorite song by them "forever my lady".They are still making music to groove us.
