He had a hit single, "Don't Go" which hit number 2 on the charts and Baby Tonight stalled at #57. They left out the best song from this LP, (besides the single "Don't Go") which is "Lovely Eyes." Song is such a jammer.

Remember LaToya's tell-all book that came out in the late 80s? In the book,she claims that Marlon played his album for their mother Katherine.She pretended that she liked it but when Marlon left,she said "Why doesn't Marlon give it up? He can't sing!"

Well Marlon can dance. His voice sounds decent at times.

Then when he left, they took it off the record player. It said..they were tapping their toes..acting as if they liked it!

LAAAWWWD




That book was worth it just for that 1 part.

Yeah,that book is scandalous I don't know how much of it is fact or fiction,but LaToya was really spillin' the beans! LOL

SoulAlive said:

I remember I made my mom and brother read that part it was so funny.

Well, he did record "Body" so.....

I ain't gonna front. Don't Go was my jam back in 87.
The second single baby tonight was alright but i never heard
the whole album or anything afterwards. I know he was supposed
to release a follow up album that never happened. Well what the hell
happened? Talk to me my Jackson family buffs.

Three Jackson brothers not named Jermaine or Michael released albums beween '87 and '89. While Marlon's sold the most (LP went Gold and had a #2 hit single in "Don't Go") most people will agree he had the worst album between Randy & the Gypsies and Jackie "Be The One."

What the hell? I never knew Marlon had a solo album

LittleBLUECorvette said:

Randy's CD was great ... always felt he was the most underated Jackson. He co-wrote a lot of stuff with Michael while still in his teens and this album had some nice stuff on it. I get the impression he's a bit spoilt and lazy. Besides royalties - which won't be that much these days - how do the Jacksons live? It's not like they are out there playing and touring like so many of their peers from the same era.

That songs is horrible The melody in the chorus was stolen directly from Michael's own "Wanna Be Startin Something"!

SoulAlive said:

YOU KNOW WHAT I never thought about that! Love that song.

Marlon also has an unreleased Motown album, but we won't hear that one anytime soon

Damn, I forgot how sexy Marlon was. He could've gotten it.

I heard Marlon is bagging groceries at Vons in San Diego.

Here is solo effort from Jackie.



And Tito.

Yes, he smashed my bread.

Don't judge Marlon until you've seen him live.

He's not that bad live, it's just a cheesy song. He should've done Don't Go ...
