[edit] Autobiography?

Jewell (Ju-el) born Jewell Caples or Jewell Peyton)is a talent R&B singer that was signed to the world's most notorious Death Row Records in the early 1990's, when Death Row was at it's finest.At a concert Tupac told the crown that Bad Boy Entertainment did not want to interferr with Death Row because label was a Gangsta and Street label that truly got in-trouble with the law,he also stated that "Everyboby on Tha Row got cases, even the Females-Jewell got cases".We(Also signed the Death Row during the same period), was featured on alot you can bet that Jewell was not a Goody-goody girl.Along side R&B songstress Michel'le of Death Row's Early projects.Jewell recorded and Finished a album under the Death Row/Interscope banner, but the CLASSIC record was never released, due to Suge Knight being in and out of jail.(Souces and Rumors say that she was featured on a song on Snoop Dogg's No Limit Records release and thats why her CLASSIC debut never saw a release-Snoop and Death Row were not on Good terms) Due to how out of control the label was getting(Gangtsa/Raw) Jewell soon left the label in late '98. Jewell worked for IV Life Records part-time.Eversince jewell left Death Row records, we have heard nothing from her since.(except for when she attended the Hip-Hop Summit in "Cali" and Suge Knight was talking. Jewell and him got into a arguement and then left. 2001-2003/Maybe 2004)
Jewell and Michel'le(R&B Acts of Death Row) were often compared to Mary J.Blige and Faith Evans.(Bad Boy)
Jewell was even know as the Faith of the West Coast.

Ju-el replaced the article with the above biased and grammatically incorrect entry. I suspect it may be autobiographical. Tim Ivorson 2006-06-22

Maybe we (I) could clean it up and place some info back? Why don't we ask her if it is really Jewell who wrote the text? Lajbi Holla @ meWho's the boss? 11:18, 22 June 2006 (UTC)
That would be great. Go for it. Tim Ivorson 2006-06-22
Ok. I read Wikipedia:Autobiography, and taught that it would be great but useless. Lajbi Holla @ meWho's the boss? 13:33, 22 June 2006 (UTC)
Still some statement seems to claim verifiable data of some sort. Her other name (possible marriage?) Jewell Peyton is credited on Until the End of Time appearing in two songs, so it could be the same person. The other fact is that cross-contribution of hers while signed to Death Row Records helping Snoop "on a song on Snoop Dogg's No Limit Records release", that is "Just Dippin'" off No Limit Top Dogg. Also I came across some unreleased album lists during my recent researches on Death Row artists and material and as I remember I saw an untitled Jewell album (it was on an obsoleted but official Death Row site UK). The synthesis is that it could be verified, but I would need some assissstance. Anybody interested? Lajbi Holla @ meWho's the boss? 13:41, 22 June 2006 (UTC)Jewell was born and lived in Chicago illinois. thereafter re-locatng to California. recorded jingles and worked with several producers in the chicago area doing jingles and other genres of music. some of these producers included Victor Mitchell a/k/a Victor Romeo, Vince Lawrence(Slang Music) Kevin Lewis(jazz musician Ramsey Lewis son).

[edit] References (discussion)

As it is impossible to link each and every song in the list I just only give tips about verification if someone finds an entry questionable. As far as my experiences went, I strongly advise not to use allmusic as they credit Jewell in widely differently, misspelled, or even left her uncredited (if not considered a writer). For the Jewell Caples section I recommend using discogs as they have a larger database on old school prints, for the 'background vocals' entries I prefer cduniverse, mmguide and artistdirect (as these sites are built upon the same database), and would need some help on specifiying the songs themselves. For the Jewell period I suggest clicking on the wikilinks if possible and check the externals on the wikipage of these major songs. The Jewell Peyton is such a short term alias it can be easily cited using a simple Google serach. Ju-el is mainly referencable from the IV Life Family official page. I propose using the forums and read the moderators' replies as they are the official members of the hip hop crew. Most of the songs are mentioned there. For the rest Search engines and Death Row site should be visited. Lajbi Holla @ meWho's the boss? 13:18, 12 August 2006 (UTC)
