Apollonia Studio 6- Jill Jones talks about when Jam & Lewis didn't show and Prince fired them

[@jewelgomez2648]

I adore Jill Jones. This interview with her was just so delightful to watch she’s well spoken and honest it’s refreshing.

[@akamrkris]

Didn't know Prince fired Jam & Lewis. Wow, learned something new today. Thanks.

[@FIMPerformance]

Jill’s stories are always the best.

[@evarene07]

🤣😂🤣😂I cannot🤣😂all I can see is Prince running around on those heels🤣😂envisioning “the death of Jam & Lewis”

[@curtismichael4703]

Jill Jones is really funny! I loved this story.

[@jameswilson1522]

Wow !... incredible ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

[@pamelacapozzoli4011]

I remember this story at the time it wasn’t funny but today we can laugh about it. I can just picture what Jill said An see Prince running back in fourth to the guitar an the piano An probably played some thing else too.😂💜

Dope!

[@avace917]

Jerome said that Prince destroyed the video tape of that whole show

[@cheboy]

ok

[@Bryantthewizz]

HILARIOUS 😂

[@Odawg96]

Woooooooooooowwww!!! That’s about all I can say. I’ve been in the position of having to switch up instruments at the last minute and/or filling in, but not for anything anywhere near as high profile as this. I can’t imagine. Well, at least they were behind the curtain.😂 And, yeah, after something like that, you can’t help but fire the perpetrators…friends or not.

[@joeyday1252]

I'm kinda surprised Prince didn't have HIS band know all those songs in case of an emergency like that. Then Fink and Brown Mark could have just slid in there.

[@oubrioko]

According to *Mark,* that is what they did for _The Time_ set, which was right after the _Vanity 6_ performance. *Prince* played Jam's keyboard parts while *Mark* played the bass. They stood just offstage in the wings and out of view of the audience, while *Jerome* strapped on a bass and stood in Terry's position onstage and mimed playing the instrument. Not sure why Prince and Mark didn't just do the same for the _Vanity 6_ set list, given that _The Time_ and *Jill* played behind the stage curtain for _Vanity 6._

[@avace917]

​@@oubriokothis is the first I've heard of Mark playing. The more common story is that Prince played the bass while Lisa played keys. Jerome said this

[@ROCKNROLLFAN]

I'm glad that they didn't film it backstage cuz seeing it now, the general public would have ate it up....

[@cd6243]

can you imagine how crazy that must have been ?? I had to watch this interview again because Jill has me cracking up 🤣🤣😂 especially how she acted when she first met Prince 🤣🤣🤣 you didn't want your shoes to make a sound 🤣🤣🤣🤣 that's how mad prince was when jimmy jam and Terri lewis didn't show up

Jones appeared to be part Finnadookie in Purple Rain. Thought for sure that was a straightened and dyed afro.😭😂 But nope, she's white. 👍😊

[@oubrioko]

her mom is black

[@wildone008]

Ha ha ha 😅.....Jill claims to be Black. She does speak on having to straighten and dying her hair in other interviews. She's also very active in black politics. So laugh on that. Who knew? Looks like not you.😊👍

[@Steve-cm2ys]

I can only pull TWO black "claimers" with that??? Come on, where are the rest of the sub Saharans at? 😆

[@Steve-cm2ys]

Eminem is very active in black "politics" too. LOL Tell me how that has anything WHATSOEVER to do with his physiology.

[@rayd69-g3v]

Firing Jam And Lewis for not being there for the reasson they were not there was appropriate. Unfortunately, that was the end of The Time.

[@youngkeys]

I speak Jive
