The Jets ~ Cross My Broken Heart You can take a black guy to Nashville from right out of the cotton fields with bib overalls, and they will call him R&B. You can take a white guy in a pin-stripe suit who’s never seen a cotton field, and they will call him country. ~ O. B. McClinton | |

Love this jam. The Jets always take me back to the good ol' days. Elizabeth looks like Janet in "When I Think of You" in this. "Get up off that grey line" | |

She had breast cancer awhile back, but she's ok now. You can take a black guy to Nashville from right out of the cotton fields with bib overalls, and they will call him R&B.

Yeah, I'd read about that not long ago. I'm glad she's okay. That is one BIG family! One of the brothers, Gene, broke apart from the group and became part of the duo Boys Club. They had a top 10 hit with "I Remember Holding You".

There's 19 siblings altogether I think (all from the same mother & father). The Osmonds, Jacksons, Sylvers, and DeBarges have nothing on the Wolfgramms.

Micky, I have a trick question for you, which was based upon a thread from 2010 about the same topic.
Does The Jets count as a funk band OR a dance-pop band with funk elements? | |

I have that album,'Magic'.I pulled it out several months ago and realized that it has aged remarkably well | |

"I Do You","Cross My Broken Heart","Make It Real","Sendin All My Love"......great songs.
I'd say that they were a dance-pop band with funk elements | |

They were R&B pop to me. "Dance music" is a pretty vague term. Bluegrass can be considered dance music for square dancing, classical is dance for ballet, etc. You can take a black guy to Nashville from right out of the cotton fields with bib overalls, and they will call him R&B.

Interestingly,this album was supposed to include a Prince song.He gave them the track "Neon Telephone" but they turned it down.One of the guys explained that they didn't think it was strong enough and I have to agree. | |

that's a good one,too.I've been waiting for years for the extended version of "Cross My Broken Heart" to pop up on some compilation CD. Still waiting. "It's not nice to fuck with K.B.! All you haters will see!" - Kitbradley
