GottaLetitgo, after your recent threads I should ask you.. are you sure that you are not TheDeacon with a new username hmmm


Fairly certain...did he spend a lot of time promoting the lost heroes of our musical generation, too?

The Jets were not Hawaiian, they were from Tonga. They were not all brother & sisters but I believe they were all related (Cousins, or whatever.)

Singles included:

CRUSH ON YOU
CURIOSITY
U GOT IT ALL
CROSS MY BROKEN HEART
ROCKET 2 U
MAKE IT REAL

Did Prince write "Neon Telephone" for The Jets?



Yes,he did.He offered it to them in 1987 for inclusion on their second album 'Magic',but they rejected it.In an interview,they said that they simply didn't think it was strong enough for their album.Prince didn't seem to mind.He allowed them to film their video "I Do You" at his Paisley Park studio.


Thanks David smile

"Crush On You" is some good cheese-pop...

but must we have a thread on this group on a monthly basis? confused


with the search function down i think we all need to show a lil patience..

*and*

if you've had your fill of "the jets" or any other artist, why click? read? and then bump it up by posting on it?


nutty


wink

*cha know i love you cee...

I used to love them! One of my first concerts was in 1986 with the Jets, Jermaine Stewart (RIP), and Stacey Q!!!!!

In the mid-late 90's the Jets set up camp in Phoenix, AZ and used to play every Friday and Saturday nights at a Scottsdale (NE Phx) night club called JETZ N STIX (If I remember correctly JETZ was one side of the club and STIX was the other....they played in..well..the JETZ room).

I turned 21 in '96 and remember going out to see them a couple of times that year...they were actually a very tight band. I can't remember if it was all the original members but it was most of them. JETZ N STIX was the place to be back then...you'd see celebs that were in town visiting or local celebs like Charles Barkley when he played with the Phx Suns. STIX played mostly R&B/hip hop which was the shit back then...I'd break it down to the likes of 2Pac 'California Love' and Blackstreet's 'No Diggity' and other jams of the day.....


ahhh...memories!
Every minute of last night is on my face today....
