  Obscure Magazine / Entertainment / Jill Marie Jones
This is not the case for Jill Marie Jones who is on one of the top sit-coms on the UPN line-up, Girlfriends.
Jill lights up the screen with her flawless appeal and her ability to transform herself into Toni Childs.
Jill has been in the entertainment industry for the majority of her life and even though it wasn’t totally centered on acting, her background gave her a foundation.

  Compare Prices and Read Reviews on Beautifully Human: Words & Sounds Vol. 2 - Jill Scott at Epinions.com
The almost immediate lionization of Jill Scott’s impact and her work makes it that much harder as a cultural critic to seriously interrogate what is working and not working in her music.
Jill Scott has always been far more pretense than inhabitation, more affect than effect, and certainly more abstraction than specificity (her most maddening flaw).
As long as Jill Scott’s music is treated with a “hands-off” reverence instead of serious critical interrogation, we might continue to get maudlin nouveau soul with all the aural earmarks of real soul, but none of the great lyricism that really made soul music definable, listenable, and worthy of reverence.

 Jill Jones   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-17)
"Lady Cab Driver" Jill Jones, funky female singer of latin-american descent from Ohio, first became known to the purple community, when she started backing Prince (he was "Prince" then) with her strong, ecstatic vocals on the 1999 album in 1982.
Some of those songs were included, when in 1987 Prince finally decided to take Jill to his Paisley Park Studios, add some own material (which he had mainly written in the space between 1999 and Purple Rain), and produce a special record, which gave her sufficient space to show off her very own musical talents.
Today Jill apparently lives in the UK and is said to be working with Bomb The Bass mastermind Tim Simenon, who in the past has already produced a record with Cat.
