The Jets ~ Rocket 2 U {Extended Version}

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

Always hated this version because they removed the original bassline.

You're so glam, every time I see you I wanna slam!

^^That's why it's called a remix. lol It doesn't have to sound like the original.

Classic late-80s jam from their second album music interestingly,this song was offered to Earth Wind and Fire for their 1987 Touch The World album but they turned it down.

The great Bobby Nunn. I think all the Jets did was lip sync. LOL!

lol yeah, the chorus sounds very much as the classic falsetto of Bobby.

But the voice in the verses has a lisp, which i never heard in Bobby's own jams.
