new jersey trio jomanda were at one time the most successful house music girl groups. formed in 1987, the group placed four top 10 singles on billboard’s hot dance chart between 1988 and 1992 including the captivating and timeless “got a love for you.”
released in spring 1991, as house music was experiencing exponential growth a pop radio, “got a love for you” was both a club and radio hit. remixed by legendary chicago house music pioneer steve “silk” hurley, “got a love for you” insights a euphoric feeling from the moment of the opening chords.
“got a love for you” topped billboard’s dance chart in july 1991 and garnered crossover radio exposure propelling the song to #40 in billboard’s hot 100.
unfortunately, like many dance artists signed to major labels that achieved pop success, jomanda’s opted to transition into a more r&b sound with their 1993 sophomore album. this alienated their core fans and after the album failed to yield any sizable hits, the group disbanded in 1994.
group member joanne thomas died in october 2003, after a three year battle with colon cancer.

I love that shittysawtraps post that's going around rn like "you can make a character playlist for any character but you can't use Mother Mother or Lemon Demon" and then every reblog is like "and for a REAL challenge, don't use any of THESE wildly popular artists, either" and then proceeds to list twenty artists I've never heard of in my life
