Jodeci is hitting the road. The legendary R&B group has announced the dates for their U.S. tour in honor of the 35th anniversary of their debut album, Forever My Lady.
The 35-city tour launches Oct. 24 at The Masonic in San Francisco. From there, the crooners will visit Las Vegas, Detroit, Chicago, Baltimore and Atlanta. They will close out the tour on Dec. 19 in their hometown, Charlotte.
“Thirty-five years ago, Forever My Lady changed our lives,” said K-Ci Hailey and Mr. Dalvin of Jodeci said in a joint statement. “The love and connection we share with our fans is unmatched and this tour is for them — the people who stood by us from day one. Get ready, we’re going to leave everything on the stage for you.”
Tickets for the anniversary tour are on sale now.
Forever My Lady was released May 28, 1991, via Uptown Records. It spent two weeks at No. 1 on Billboard’s Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart.
Written and produced by Jodeci’s DeVante Swing, Forever My Lady, included hits such as “Come & Talk To Me,” “Stay” and the title track. All three singles reached No. 1 on Billboard’s Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart.
Meanwhile, “Come & Talk To Me” also led the R&B/Hip-Hop Airplay chart for seven weeks. On the Hot 100, the latter song peaked at No. 11, while the title track was a top 25 hit.
Forever My Lady paved the way for Jodeci’s groundbreaking ‘90s run — a trio of albums that would inspire generations to come, rounded out by Diary Of A Mad Band (1993) and The Show, The After Party, The Hotel (1995).
In 2015, Jodeci returned with their long-awaited fourth album, The Past, the Present, the Future. It debuted at No. 2 on Billboard’s Top R&B Albums, and included the No. 1 hit “Every Moment,” which spent two weeks atop the Adult R&B Airplay chart.
Earlier this year,Forever My Ladywas reissued on 2LP vinyl to commemorate its 35th anniversary. The expanded edition includes bonus tracks and a never-before-released a cappella version of “Stay.”
