    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.

    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.

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

    I also remember that Chicago radio stations were so segregated at that time that whenever it played on a 'pop' music station the announcer would say it was "Jermaine Jackson and DEVO."

    Yeah they are from Detroit. Ron Bank's brother Brian sang with them too. They should have gone further than they did. Still love "Why Leave Us Alone"...the 12" LOL

    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.
