Jermaine has indeed made some fantastic music over the years, for himself and for others too! Here’s one of my faves of his... written and produced by Johnny Bristol!!!

Glen, so as you can see, Jermaine Jackson was no joke! He's had a pretty solid recording career that many wished they had.
Jermaine was tearing it up in 1980 with this one too. "Burnin' Hot"

He got a little help here from his sisters...Jermaine Jackson ft. La Toya & Rebbie "Let Me Tickle Your Fancy" [Soul Train 1982
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d4_ozn6JxHI
...and he got a lot of help from his brother here on this jam:

He and Whitney should have done an entire album together.Quote:

I so loved that "Let Me Tickle Your Fancy" performance on Soul Train. LaToya and Rebbie are lovely. They were such a good-looking family. It's a shame what they did to themselves.
I saw them perform the song first on the Merv Griffin Show and it came off very well. I bought the album with the 1950s themed cover.Quote:

Yes! I thought I remembered that Jermaine and sisters performed it together on more than one show. Thanks. I loved that song.Quote:

This disco soufully funky instrumental number here is smokin!!!https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8xE7o6Oyjs8
Yes, now that was a good one. I'm telling you, Jermaine was no joke!
I had to go wayyyy back in Jermaine Jackson history for this one:

Glen, just to stray off subject for one moment. Do you remember a group called Five Special out of Detroit?
He does an admirable job with this remake:

Love this uplifting duet with the fabulous Tata Vega...!!!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rcvxcYA2DVg&app=desktop
For sure! Also used with great effect on the MAHOGANY soundtrack [[in the party scene).Quote:

Just listened to his son, Jaafar's track, "Got Me Singing." Supposedly the video was shot in Brazil. The track title says it all. Should call it Can't Be Singing! Plus why is he "dancing" on a roof? In a puddle of water? Needless to say, that was all I could take. "Cause I can't stands no more"!! Jermaine should be proud, however. Like father like son.
Jermaine's "Take Me In Your Arms [[Rock Me A Little While)" from his first Motown solo album, "Jermaine".
