Yeah, it was a top 20 soul hit in 1986 and a moderate Top 40 hit song.

I believe it was a # 16 Pop Hit / # 14 R&B hit.

I would say that the song qualifies as a moderate hit. It's not exactly like Jermaine Jackson's "I Think It's Love" is one of those memorable songs that still gets played on some format.

Yeah, I know what you mean by no one really remembers it besides Jackson fans and 80's fans

I'm thinking a moderate hit is something outside of the top 40 (you want to be inside the top 40) and Jermaine in the top 20 is even better.

I love the video...it had that Robert Palmer (RIP) affect to it.

I guess it was a decent hit becasue it was played on VH1 Classic.

Just like the song, Jermaine Jackson was making an obvious crossover attempt with "I Think It's Love."
