I know he had that one monster hit, "We Don't Have to Take Our Clothes Off", but was he a bonafide major star? And did he and Jody Watley ever patch up their differences?

No, he was not that big of a star. He hd about three "hits":

"The Word Is Out"

"We Don't Have To Take Our Clothes off"

and my favorite out of the bunch; "Everybody Wants A Piece Of Jody"

according to Jody's "Shalamar Ununsung, Unfiltered" video they did.

My fav from Jermaine

^ He was working the hair and suit

If you have to ask if a person was a big star, then there's your answer .

1. Jermaine was never a major star. He was only a r&b/dance cult classic.

2. Jody confirmed on her YouTube channel that her & Jermaine were always friends before he died.

He's dead? What happened to him? I only know that one song We Don't Have To Take Our Clothes Off. Great pop song. Didn't care for his voice much. I believe he also appeared on an episode of Miami Vice where he was performing at a prison! The inmates were booing him.

Um, I have a hard time believing inmates would boo Jermaine Stewart-I mean, I would think he would be um, popular.

I believe he also did background vocals for Culture Club early on. And if U look at the album credits to "Get Ready" (which had tracks produced by Andre Cymone) he name drops Rob Lowe and a slew of other celebrities. I think he thought he was a big star!!

Come on now...lets not paint all the incarcerated folk with one rainbow brush. some of them were probably expecting Johnny Cash or at least Bette Midler.

Overhere his only 2 hits were "Say it again" and "We Don't Have To Take Our Clothes off". IMO he was cool even though he sucked when I saw him "live" at a club for a New Year's performance many years ago.

No, he wasn't a big star at all. He had one hit pop song that people may or may not remember.

No that makes you a one-hit wonder as far as the mainstream is concerned.

They're just hating. Jermaine was WERKING IT!

His biggest hit was "We Don't Have To Take Our Clothes Off" but his earlier jam "The Word Is Out" from 1984 is the best jam he ever made.

People like that would boo him in public and fuck him in private.

Yep. And in the early 1990s he told a reporter from "Sister 2 Sister" magazine, who later told Geraldo, that he and Magic Johnson had previously been sleeping together.

I always thought that was his other hit, although not as big as "Clothes".
