PrintableEven though Jermaine basically was MJ's vocal accompaniment (and never really having a "lead"), "All I Do Is Think of You" did feature some of his input. It's kinda odd the way Michael and Jermaine seem there but not there, almost as if Jermaine's voice was added in later while Michael, Tito, Jackie and Marlon recorded it a week before or something. | |

Yup this one and Frontiers are my favorites of his, My Name Is Jermaine, Feel The Fire, Jermaine, I Like Your Style, Let Me Tickle Your Fancy, Dynamite are also worth checking out if ya'll haven't already. Precious Moments is terrible IMO, I only dig the title track on Don't Take It Personal and You Said had maybe three cuts I liked. [Edited 8/21/09 21:45pm] | |

 I've always prefered Jermaine's vocals to MJ's. To me MJ sounded like a kid yelping *ducks down* where as Jermaine always sounded like an adult even in the early recordings. | |

he found his voice around 1970-1972 though and never looked back 
Marlon was done wrong during those days. He barely got any leads until the last Jackson 5 album but got alot of vocal input on the Jacksons albums "We may deify or demonize them but not ignore them. And we call them genius, because they are the people who change the world." |

That's only because when you're a kid and you sing the way he did, you're automatically a "boy soprano". Jermaine sounded grown at 16. | |

I wonder how it would've been like if Jer sang lead on that track  probably way better! I hate how they buried Marlon,Jackie and Tito's vocals under all the instruments! the harmonization is the best part! and u also can hear Marlon over Jackie which is very rare | |

Too bad he didn't, lol. As for burying, Motown was always doing that. During their PIR/Epic days, you heard the harmonies more often. | |

Lots of Motown songs in the 1960s and 1970s (but especially the 1960s recordings) sometimes bury the background vocals for the instrumentation and at other points the voices overpowered the instrumentation. Thank God for someone like Harry Weinger to edit parts of some songs so we can hear the other instruments/vocals. I'm sure one day they'll remaster the Jackson 5 recordings and you'll hear more from the song than what Motown released as the final product. | |

I've always been happy with as is. i'm craving unreleased stuff, i know for fact they released only just over a quarter of what they recorded. That would be an exciting prospect tho. They did a hella good job on 'Hello World' for sure. |

They remastered the albums for those 2001 editions.... but what we need is a full complete remaster of the albums, I'm talking going back to the master reels and clean them up, fix the volume, dynamics...everything Jermaine's entire Motown catalog is out of print: Jermaine (1972) Come In To My Life (1973) My Name Is Jermaine (1976) Feel The Fire (1977) Frontiers (1978) Let's Get Serious (1979) Jermaine (1980) I Like Your Style (1981) Let Me Tickle Your Fancy (1982) "We may deify or demonize them but not ignore them.
