This single was taken from the 1987 film Burglar.

It was prodced by the brothers, written by Jackie and Randy (who handle lead and co-lead) and Bernard Edwards from Chic. The other brothers besides Mike and Marlon are in the background

That was one of the only tracks they recorded as a trio right? I remembered hearing this at the end of that movie.

I always thought it was just Randy, Jackie and Tito. But you can clearly hear Jermaine's voice during the chorus singing "Time Out."

I see. Yeah I thought that voice was familiar.

it's telling that none of their songs recorded without Michael became big hits.

Yes to a certain degree. On the other hand Jermaine managed to get hits on his own (Daddy's Home, Let's Get Serious, You like me don't you, Do What you Do, Don't Take it personal etc), even Marlon had one hitsong (Don't Go) and how many recordings did they do without Michael? Only two projects I know of were Time out for the Burglar (which was for produced for the movie) and the 2300 Street Jackson street album. 2300 Jackson street got no exposure at all and the brothers themselves didn't even seem to promote it (minus a couple of low key performances during which not even all of the remaining 4 Jacksons were present). In fact the same year 1989, Jackie, Jermaine and Randy released solo records and they seemed to put more effort in those projects. The whole 2300 Jacksonstreet project was weird from beginning to end IMO.

Promotion definitely was low.

Jermaine also had a new wave funk hit with Devo called let me tickle your fancy.

"When the rain begins to fall" and "Dynamite" were also successful.

Sorry, I can't let that slide. It sounds like Bernard Edwards production to me, and thats because it is LOL. He produced pretty much the whole OST (including the soundalike "I'm the burglar" by Sly Stone).

The Jacksons helped him produce it. One of the best things about the track is the fabulous drumming by what must be Tony Thompson (credits dont state it but Iam positive it is him). Phat drumming by Tony. Also really dig the tracks by The Jets called "Tough guys", again produced by Bernard Edwards.
