K-Ci and JoJo's first sign of independence came in 1994 when K-Ci covered Bobby Womack's hit "If You Think You're Lonely Now" for the movie Jason's Lyric. Early in 1996, K-Ci and Jo-Jo teamed up for the song "How Could You" for the movie Bulletproof starring Damon Wayans and Adam Sandler.
By July 1996, K-Ci and JoJo finally had a hit on their hands as guest artists in 2Pac's number-one R&B hit "How Do U Want It". It also topped the Billboard Hot 100. The brothers made their side projects into a full album, Love Always. Released on June 17, 1997, the album spawned two top-ten R&B hits: "You Bring Me Up" and "Last Night's Letter". "All My Life" was the number-one song on the Hot 100 for three weeks, a feat that K-Ci and Jo-Jo had never achieved with Jodeci.Love Always went on to sell four million copies, and the success of the album put Jodeci's reunion on hold indefinitely.
Their second album,It's Real,was released on June 22, 1999. It spawned one major hit "Tell Me It's Real" which peaked at number two on the Billboard Hot 100 and Billboard's R&B charts. K-Ci and Jo-Jo returned with X on December 5, 2000. "X", the Roman numeral for ten, was picked as the album title to celebrate the Haileys' tenth anniversary in the music business. They made a strong return to the Billboard Hot 100 early in 2001 with the song "Crazy", also included on the Save the Last Dance soundtrack. "Crazy" peaked at number three on the Billboard Hot 100.
The fourth K-Ci and Jo-Jo album, Emotional, was released on November 26, 2002, but failed to find commercial success. K-Ci and JoJo released a greatest hits album on February 8, 2005. They are believed to have teamed back up with DeVante Swing and Mr. Dalvin for a Jodeci reunion album.

Sweeter than you
And I will never find another lover more precious than you
More precious than you
Girl you are close to me you're like my mother,
Close to me you're like my father,

And all my life I've prayed for someone like you

And I hope that you feel the same way too
Yes, I pray that you do love me too

All I can do
Is sit alone
In my room
Thinking about you
How could it be
That you are not here with me
When I gave you the best of me
I face each day
Without a smile
And life is so unfair
I feel like I wanna die
Cause you didn't give me
Give me a last goodbye
I've waited weeks for your call
I've waited here by the phone
But when the silence grew long
I knew that something was wrong
Right then I knew it babe
How could you do it babe
How could you tear my poor heart in two
How could you do it babe
Do it, do it, do it
How could you do it babe
Tear my poor heart in two
Ain't no more blue up in my sky
Only cloudy mornings
And these tears like rain you left behind
All of those memories
In the corners of my mind
I started looking at us
At a picture in a frame
As I start to cry
Cause I can't picture us apart
Oh my god can you help me
With this pain I'm feeling
I'm feeling deep down inside
Girl tell me it's not true
Will I have to spend the rest of my life without you
How can I get through
This pain of loosing you

This is my all-time favorite slow jam of the 90s. This was a phenomenal era of R&B music. K-Ci & JoJo were brilliant songwriters and singers.
