Devo looks a little different than I remember.

Jermaine got some beautiful sisters.

Now you know why their albums are getting reissued first.

She already had one by 1982.

awesome awesome clip

these were the good days, when the media (black and white) weren't rippin this family to shreds for absolutely no legit reason

it's very unfortunate how the careers of Jermaine, the rest of the brothers and Rebbie were sabotaged....

It's a cute song...La Toya really should have left her face alone-she looked good in this clip.

In all of these years I never knew that they sang this song! What a cool surprise!

They don't.

Awww, cute.

I liked this song.

The Jacksons had a good looking family. Jermaine used to be fine, what happened?

the family received god awful advice and was encouraged to be one of the representatives of black entertainment to delve into the world of plastic surgery

I like how the brothers shared musicians. Jon Moffett, Ollie Brown, Nathan East, Paul Jackson are all Jackson bro regulars.

Is Randy playing percussion on all of the tracks?

It's crazy how the Jacksons were "THE" black family to be up until the Victory Tour in 84. And guess what also came out in 84, the debut of the Cosby Show. The Cosby's became the "NEW" black family to be ...

The credits don't say who played on which songs. Those are the only musician credits posted above. The rest of the credits are for the studio, engineers, horn & rhythm arrangements, and Thank You's. In the Thank You's, Jermaine thanks Tito for handclaps, Syreeta, Stevie Wonder for equipment, and a cousin named Godfrey "Wolfgang" Watson for percussion on This Time. There's other names, but they're industry people and family members and not related to the music on the album.

LOL. Those are just EL Lay stalwarts. By the early 80's, if you recorded in LA and had the money behind you, you used session pro's like those guys.

In the late 70's 'til the mid 80's (and late 80's at a stretch if you were AOR), the LA sound was "the" sound for pop/rnb and soft rock music, so naturally Jermaine and anyone popular used whatever was the popular sound/production of that time. Those guys you mentioned are on a heck of alot of other people's records aswell.

"Victory" inparticular is on the whole, a typical LA pop sounding record. Very glossy and slick. Of course 1984, when "Victory" dropped, Prince dropped "Purple Rain" and the Miinniapolis sound was a "competitor" if you like to the LA sound. Both popular, but both quite different. (and yes I know "Purple Rain" wasn't the first minni sounding album, but it certainly made it's mark that year).

Jermaine never did any Minniapolis sounding records that I remember? He did record at Paisley Park, but that was in the late 80's with David Z and the Minni sound was over by then.....

......Of course Janet went to Minniapolis for her "sound". Jermaine's 1986 "Precious Moments" continues the "LA sound" of his previous album "Dynamite", which proved to be abit of a dud sales wise. He could of gone that route though, maybe Clive didn't want him too?

Some of the members of Toto played on the Victory album and Thriller too.
