None of the WHitney Houston and Pia Zadora tracks are here. As I take most people have heard those. These here are album tracks burried inside of out of print or very hard to find albums.

Jermaine's career should be more successful than it is. The dude could've been a primetime writer and session musician in the industry for the past 3 decades; so many stars could have hits penned by him right now.

You forgot DEVO

It should be. He was a really talented writer and singer. Jermaine doesn't have good work ethic.

1980s Jermaine Jackson was alright in my book--the top-notch!

The only reason Jermaine, the Son of Joseph, didn't make it big was because Michael got all jelly and boycotted his hitherto superb, hit-ridden career. Michael wanted to show his authoritah and the result was a career written with #137 hits all over it lost.

Michael denying one song of Jermaine's (which he was featured in) to be a hit doesn't equate to him ruining Jermaine's career. Also, Thriller-era Michael jealous of Jermaine? Lol

It was clearly not sarcasm. People like you have such an effect on my self-esteem. Thanks!

I use to get irritated at this excuses for Jermaine but now I just laugh..... Michael was the most famous man on the planet and had the biggest selling album of ALL time during Thriller... I HIGHLY doubt he was jealous of Jermaine LMAO

Jermaine was pretty good singer (and Let's Get Serious is a great album) and I love his songs with Whitney, but lets be honest here MJ was the complete package. Jermaine was a sonet to MJ's supernova!

What?

You seem to be a lightweight so I'll say it without subtilities: I was joking. JOKING.

Jermaine Jackson never went anywhere because he was LAZY. He was/is a sex addict without any moral values who never liked working. He is moderately talented but that's not all. One must work in his craft and Jermaine never liked that. He'd rather be like his father and bang every woman he sees and spend his days making schemes to leech off of his famous brother while convincing himself he is entitled to it because he made Michael Jackson (or so he thinks). He's just like his daddy: Jermaine is Joe n.2. The only reason Jermaine didn't make it big is because he lacks any discernable positive trait to do it.

I'm the lightweight? I'm not the one crying about how a simple post affects my self- esteem. I appreciate you pointing out that you were joking and I'm sorry for not recognizing you were making a joke but if you're going to make one, maybe you should actually be funny. [Edited 7/13/16 10:07am]

I was not crying at all. Once again, you interpreted it the wrong way. Who knew? If affects my self-esteem in the sense that you make me feel smart by comparison. You make me think I am truly a smart person. It wasn't meant as a joke to laugh: it was a joke in the sense of sarcasm. Do you want me to draw you a painting explaining everything? Do you want me to explain it using other words?

Jermaine released 13 solo albums in a 19 year span and Michael solo albums 10 in a 29 year span.

Jermaine released 2 albums in 1980 and 1989 (if you count 2300 Jackson Street). Technically there was 2 albums in 1976 too, but the Norman Harris produced one has never been released, other than one song called Good For The Gander. Plus he was working as A&R at Motown during the late 1970s & early 1980s. That's how he discovered Switch & DeBarge.
