The Story of K-Ci & JoJo | Jodeci, Struggle With Addiction & Their Legacy

Before there was K-Ci and JoJo there was Jodeci. And, before Jodeci there was Little Cedric and the Hailey Singers. Monroe, North Carolina natives Cedric "K-Ci" Hailey and his younger brother Joel "JoJo" Hailey came together with several others to form a gospel singing group stemming from their experience growing up and singing in church. Participation in music was a forgone conclusion for the siblings. After all, their parents were gospel singers. The brothers’ musical influences ran the gamut from traditional gospel, such as Shirley Caesar to genre-extending gospel artists like the Winans. K-Ci, or Little Cedric, as he was referred to back then, was also affectionately dubbed the Michael Jackson of Gospel. #KCiandJoJo #Jodeci #LittleCedric SOURCES: https://www.malaco.com/artists/gospel... https://www.arielswartley.com/littlec... https://parlemag.com/2020/03/jojo-hai... https://www.mtv.com/news/kufoom/k-ci-... https://www.billboard.com/music/music... https://hiphopdx.com/news/id.54560/ti... https://fomoblog.com/2020/03/03/jodec... https://youknowigotsoul.com/k-ci-hail... https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandst... https://www.billboard.com/music/music... https://www.essence.com/celebrity/jod... https://www.billboard.com/music/rb-hi... https://www.bet.com/article/bjmn00/be... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/K-Ci_%2...   / therealjojohailey   https://www.instagram.com/kcihailey/?...
