Gee Morris - Gee Morris (1994)

Gee Morris' first foray into popular music was in 1988 with the high energy remake of The Isley Brothers "This Old Heart Of Mine", produced by Hi-NRG pioneer Ian Levine. Though not very successful, this garnered her enough attention to get backing vocal gigs with everyone from Stevie Wonder to Pet Shop Boys to Donny Osmond. Thanks to this session work, she was noticed by Brit production trio Jolley/Harris/Jolley, who were in the midst of recording demos for what would become the act Innocence. Gee became the face of the act and they had a great deal of success in the UK in the early 1990's with their electronic soul music. They released two awesome albums, Belief and Build. But Gee wanted to release something using her own name, so she hooked up with producer Steve Vincent, who with his dance act Adventures Of Stevie V had had quite a bit of chart success. For her solo work, Vincent kept the soul vibe people were familiar with from Innocence but added some of the house and R&B elements that made Adventures Of Stevie V a hit. Somehow the formula failed to get noticed, and so did Gee's album. She has not recorded an album since, but according to her Myspace page she has continued working extensively, most recently recording with the man that started it all, Ian Levine.Gee met the JHJ Production partnership, whilst on a session for newly formed music agency (at the time), Session Connection - Clicked... and soon after proceeded to produce a single, 'Natural Thing' initially release by New York Recording Label 'Profile'.
The record caused a bit of a buzz and soon caught the interest of Chrysalis/Cooltempo UK who were interested enough to sponsor/sign an album 'Belief' for Gee Morris a.k.a. Innocence, produced by JHJ, sound engineered (& co-written some tracks) by Phil Dane & predominantly played and co-written by Matt Rowe (later famed for Spice Girls 1st Album co-writes & production).
