Jasmine Guy is the debut and only studio album by American actress-singer Jasmine Guy, released in October 1990 on Warner Bros. Records. The album peaked at No. 143 on the Billboard 200 and 38 on Top R&B Albums chart.[1] The singles, "Another Like My Lover", "Try Me" and "Just Want to Hold You", were top 40 hits on Billboard's Hot R&B Singles chart. Although the album was an overall success, plans for a follow-up release were terminated when Guy and Warner Bros. Records ended their three-year relationship in 1993.
