WHY IN THE WORLD was this not a hit? It wasn't a big hit, it did chart at 50 on the pop charts (forget what it was on the black charts, I wanna say top 10.) PRINCE: Always and Forever

It can be considered a "hit" because it charted at number 13 on the Black Singles.
I love this song. DannyD5050 and I were discussing Jermaine the other day. He was saying what a great album his self-titled Arista cd is. I agreed, but think his Motown albums are far better than most of the Arista stuff. He wasn't that familiar with his Motown catalog other than Let's Get Serious and Daddy's Home. I then introduced him to this song and he fell in love with it. **--••--**--••**--••--**--••**--••--**--••**--••-

Promoted right, "Dynamite", "Come To Me One Way", "Do What You Do" and "Tell Me Im Not Dreaming" all shoulda been top 10 pop. I think Jermaine's problems is that he couldnt find consistency among his solo material. Some of his albums were solid "Jermaine"(1980), "Let's Get Serious"(1979) and then some of his music went along a hit and miss euro/new wave path. Not to say that it was "bad", just inconsistent [Edited 6/27/09 10:53am] | |

He kept changing up. I did like his last album, You Said a lot. Also, I liked some of the "Don't Take It Personal" album. That album is VERY inconsistent. **--••--**--••**--••--**--••**--••--**--••**--••-

Did Stevie or anyone from EWF produce it? | |

The song is nice, so relaxing... A stupid man’s report of what a clever man says can never be accurate, because he unconciously translates what he hears into something he can understand. | |

I then introduced him to this song and he fell in love with it. Hell yeah, his Motown stuff was much better than his Arista stuff. "Let's Get Serious" is definately his best album and is great all the way through. None of that crossover pop bullshit. Most of his Arista stuff is horrible. Andy is a four letter word. | |

He needed a hit. And it worked for him. | |

It was popular on my local r&b station when I was little. I felt like he had a nice little string of r&b hits back then. I remember this song being the one I liked for my 4th grade crush at the time  | |

He needs a comprehensive Greatest Hits album of his Motown and Arista music.. | |

That's a great song. When I was 12 Jermaine was the love of my life. 
I still love his voice and I agree that he should have developed a consistent style, but THIS will always be my favorite Jermaine song even though it's a cover tune...he nailed it so well and he was what, 15 or 16? Prince, in you I found a kindred spirit...Rest In Paradise. | |
