- Jasmine Guy starred in the Cosby Show TV spin-off A Different World that ran on NBC-TV from 1987 to 1993. Her role as the snooty, heavy-Southern-accented Whitley Gilbert was one of the highlights of the show. She also had three R&B hits, "Try Me," "Another Like My Lover," and "Just Want to Hold You." Born March 10, 1964, in Boston, MA, Guy grew up in Atlanta, GA. She was a dancer with the Alvin Ailey Dance Troupe and later danced as a part of the cast of the '80s NBC-TV series Fame, which was based on the hit movie of the same name. Guy also appeared in numerous off-Broadway shows and in the Spike Lee movie School Daze with Lawrence Fishburne.
Being on a TV show that was a spin-off of a phenomenally successful, groundbreaking TV series had its benefits. Guy was afforded the opportunity to become a recording artist. Signing with Warner Bros., Guy's first single, "Try Me," was written and produced by Full Force. The ultra-sexy video of the song was heavily hyped and premiered after a segment of A Different World. "Try Me" made it to number 14 R&B in fall 1990. Her self-titled debut LP made it to number 38 R&B on Billboard's charts in late 1990.
Guy received kudos for her steely-eyed, menacing performance in the 1989 Eddie Murphy/Richard Pryor/Redd Foxx/Della Reese/Arsenio Hall movie Harlem Nights. Guy also voiced a part in the 1997 animated movie Cats Don't Dance and toured in the late '90s in Chicago the Musical with Ben Vereen.

A Different World was made for Lisa Bonet...... But Jasmine Guy owned it.
Maggie Jimenez say it again!
The show got better when Lisa left.😂
nooooooo forgotl bout that but I completely agree.
She was meant to be the true star 🌟 of Different World 🌎 tbh . ❤️🌈🌈🙏🏾. #HappyPrideMonth #JasminGuy
She was the shit back in the day. Her dancing was mind blowing, voice was great, and beautiful.
VERY UNDERRATED!!!
Yes indeed Jasmine Guy rock the heck out this song i still love playing her song😊💜💜💜
Holy crap. I totally forgot this video after all these. Jasmine could clearly dance her was off, you could tell she was a trained dancer. She was stunning. Body of a ballerina.
WOW..
Alvin Ailey, it's why I went
Never saw tha video for this song-very well done!!!!The dancing was great!!!!And Jasmine Guy was an exceptional talent.
Holy crap. I totally forgotten this video. Jasmine was stunning and could clearly dance her butt off. Forgot she was a trained dancer. Stunning.
I remember she performed this on that show Party Machine that came on after Arsenio Hall. She had great performance energy. It was higher than what's in the video actually. Vhs'ed watched it over and over again. :)
I remember party machine 😊
Her dancer techniques are amazing... I like this song. I listen to it all the time.
Jasmine Guy is such an excellent dancer.
OMG I LIVE FOR THIS SONG!!!! Jasmine is the BOMB!!!! :)
Jasmine graces anything that she does! Til this day I don't know how her music didn't get the buzz that it deserved?! That's 1 talented woman. Real talent -- unlike today's garbage!
LADY HYDRO JEN I agree!!!
Next to Jody whatly and Janet Jackson Jasmine should have been up there with them.
She could have. She sounded almost like Jody.
Boy please lol
Jasmine was soo Beautiful back then!! You go girl!! Barbara Mozie 😍😀
This was my cut...my freshman year in high school.
I think there are like 3 different versions of this video.... This one has the best editing for sure.
Before Mya Harrison, there was Jasmine Guy. :-)
Jasmine was really gorgeous back then and she looks very good with the short wig!
Wig? Jasmine wears her own hair.
Watch the video, she wears a short wig halfway through.
@@Rosannasfriend 👍
@@spicey6646 Even women WITH hair wear wigs.
Looking at this video makes me think that Jasmine Guy was born in the wrong time period, but then I think she was born in the right time period if only to show what kind of skill, beauty and class could be brought to the stage and screen. Thanks Ms. Guy.
wow this took me back. Love the choreography in this video.
Cree Summer is also singing background on this.
oh this girl is so perfect, her Dance, her hair, her singing, Jasmine is all that and a bouncing beach ball !
She still looks good and is doing her thing on Broadway.
Work it, Whitley!
I just adore this girl. She's got this classic elegance that blows you away.
I won't even tell you how much I used to dance to this, my mom had the casette tape and I knew every song I took this tape and her Karyn White tape man do I miss those days.
This is what you call true talent and entertainment!!
This used to be my song. She was so damn pretty.
That song was a top ten R&B hit
I really loved this song! Always thought Ms Guy might have been related to Prince! They look so alike to me!
Ms M they do!
Jasmine was the "IT GIRL" back in the day. Dancing, Acting & Singing what a talent.
A really great song, but I will always love Try Me!
luv da 90's sound. dis is another one of my JAMS!!!
I auditioned for a dance spot on the Hit television show "Fame" at the same time Jasmine did at the very beginning of her career BEFORE she got famous! These were uncredited positions but you got seen and therefore taken serious in the business! We both made it however I was very young and needed one of my parents or a trusted chaperoned and couldn't get one so I didn't get to appear on the show. If you ever watch Fame with Debbie Allen teaching Dance Class and the kids she was teaching in the background?.... You'll find Jasmine guy in one of the positions. I was supposed to be at her right but..... I'm in my 50's now but will never get over not being on that show.... PS.... Jasmine was so fine and she smelled really good too! LOL!
80's and 90's music was the best
Omg.... sooooo 90’s.... memories! Good times
"Another Like My Lover" (1990) Co-Written & Produced by Timmy Gatling but sounds EXACTLY like it was written & produced by LA & Babyface.
Damn, all this time I thought it was them.
@@blessedk77 I myself never thought about it till mentioned here... But it does sound like something they would've done.
I wonder if Debbie Allen was the choreographer on this video. Lets face it Debbie was the go to back then
Wondering same.
@@jilesnstyle I wouldn't be surprised. Jasmine and Debbie go all the way back to the 80's when they were both on Fame.
Another one of my favorites!!
having danced for alvin ailey, i would say she could dance circles around paula abdul.
She needs to cut another record!! 🎤🎶🔥💯
Jasmine revealed that she planned on releasing album around the mid 2000's and she had recruited Gerald LeVert to produce it. Sadly he passed before they had the opportunity to start production
@@MUSICENCYLOPEDIA She should do one with Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis. I'd love to hear that result!
I haven't heard this song in years. Thanks for posting. She was a former Alvin Ailey dancer years ago before appeared on Different World. She still looks good even to this day.
i love those days entertainment was clean and fun
I love how the focus is on the talent and not all of this trying to be overly sexy that you see in many contemporary videos. It's naive....love it!
This was my jam...I was in the 8th grade when this hit...this was music
I was in the 5th grade when this came 😊 when I seen this on B.E.T Video soul with Donnie Simpson.
I didn't really now she can sing this is my first time hearing her she sounds great and she's a great dancer
I don't understand the Paula Abdul comparisons. Jasmine is a much more talented performer and I do like Paula. I wish Jasmine had delivered much more music and videos! Her dancing is fantastic.
Jaren Morris I never cared for Paula Abdul, she can dance and all but I can't sit and listen through a whole record without remixing it with J. Cole (Straight Up).
Paula Abdul was fire performance wise on video. She had the "It" factor the in her videos. Jasmine is the stonger more well rounded talent, but this was not a fire video, so she never blew up musically like PA because it was a mediocre start and as you said not a big enough catalogue. But I remember her live performance on Party Machine was as good as Paula, maybe better.
@Jaren Morris She wanted to, but she said in an interview that she ran up against a lot of resistance in the music industry and she didn't care for how they did business. Jasmine also said if she ever decided to make another album, she'd handle the whole process herself.
I rememeber buying the cassette when it came out. Yes, I'm old and not ashamed of it. LOL!
i dnt see how some people dnt like this, lol i love it, i think she looks beautiful in this video, reminds me of her oh so many talents, wish someone would remake this song now
I miss Jasmine Guy!
Triple threat. Sing, dance and act. Go JG go!!!
Jasmine guy is just a beast!!!!! I live her
Jasmine is an excellent dancer
she was that it girl back in the late 80's and early 90's...not too many could touch her beside janet jackson
She's got them Jackson eyes.
my favorite song off her album. and i've always loved that album cover.
lets not forget people where these young actresses came from, SCHOOL DAZE from spike lee. the entire movie was acting and complete dancing. Featuring Jasmine Guy, and Tisha Campbell (Gina) from MARTIN. So these talented ladies started off dancing and singing and acting. It was wonderful seeing them really showcase that individually with there on albums. Oh Tichina Arnold (Pam) from MARTIN started with LITTLE SHOP OF HORRORS.
Britney Spears "Circus" video definitely jacked this video's theme and style...
Shake it, Jasmine. Awesome dancer.
I was only 9 years old and never heard this song til now.
New Jack Swing for the win!
Go Jasmine...go Jasmine!*
I'm so getting Mya vibes right now. Like they could be sisters.
lurveeee Jasmin Guy xxx She's a Legend xx
I actually treated myself to her tape for Christmas and I played it alot.
One of the few albums (yea... cd now) that I completely enjoyed & waited for the follow up. Still waiting Jasmine...
I love this whole tape. which i just happen to have in my car right now. Yes i do listen to it. awesome.
Bought the cassette of her album after viewing this video in 6th grade lol
oh i love this song here. one of my favs from her.
I had forgotten about this video!!! She was such a hottie. Jasmine was also great in the show "Dead Like Me" in which she played a reaper. I miss that show.
I haven't heard this one in a long time. Thanks for posting it.
YES YES AND YES!
NOBODY was finer than Jasmine back then - NOBODY
man this is gold. I just found a copy of this 12" for $1
all I can say is waaaaaaoooow......I feel OLD!!!
I love this song...
She did really good
This song (and Good2Go's "Never Satisfied") fooled me for a split-second! The closest LA & Babyface production sound-a-like i've ever heard!! I like it too!! I normally don't think too much of imposters but this song is the sh*t!!!!
I used to love this song!!!!
OMG!!! This was a favorite song of my childhood and all these years, I just thought that I'd mistakenly linked the girl from "A different world" to it. I remember finding her tape among my uncles things, he was a musician. I played this song non stop. And now that I think about it I'm pretty sure that I didn't lose it and that my mother took it away because she didn't think the lyrical content was appropriate for her 8 year old daughter to constantly be singing... lmbo!
i miss this time.
Yep this song got alot of play on radio and it was written and produced by Timmy Gatlin, the original member of Guy. Jasmine also did the vocal arrangements on this song as well as song background vocals with Timmy.
Jasmine can dance.
I've always appreciated Jasmine Guy for sooooooo many years! She needs to make a HUGE COMEBACK! I remember the last time I saw her doing anything was her making a cameo appearance on "The Parkers." Come back to us Jasmine!!!!! LOL!!!!!!
aww. she was so cute!
im a big fan
i
miss this
Am down with this track
my only fave by her that she ever came out with.
That was great! She acts, sings, dance, she is just very talented.
In this video, Jamsine Guy popping out like Paula Abdul. The choreogrpahy is similar and their style of music is the same. This is one of those songs you can dance to, the real originally hip-hop. Go Jamsine!
I love this song...and LADY J...Was doing her thang...I MISS THE EARLY NINETIES
My jam!
OMG, I'm three years old again!! Yaaaaaaaaasss!!
Ooooooooo JASMINE !
such a talented dancer lol
No shade but i didnt understand why Jas was doing recordings til i heard this banga then i got it plus after hearing her album i feel she shouldve received more awards than she did wit this album but im glad she gave us a sample that will last in our hearts forever 😉💋
LOL - your Mom has good taste! Jasmine is a great name!
WOW WOW WOW! I never seen this side of Jasmine Guy!
Classic 90's R&B
I remember this video. She can dance and sing. This was a blast from the past to watch
Thanx for posting it
Thanks for informing me about Jasmine. I'll look out for the dancing competition show that she hosts. Peace!
I love this song and video and Jasmine was the DEAL, fantastic dancer.
i bought this album back in high school, and then i lost it. i was in a record store here in nyc and i was looking through their bargain bin...and there she was. i play jasmine's cd whenever i get in the move.
Great song!
