Why wont Universal reissue all of his Motown titles either on cd or digitally?

Not sure why but it's ridiculous. The same two JJ albums have been floarting around for years. His debut and Let's Get Serious. Hell, Jackie's Motown album is on digital platform but we get the same 2 Jermaine albums over and over.

He didnt get lazy.He got robbed out of at least another 15 years of musical output

but nothing could have stopped him from touring all those years.Old school artists like Jeffrey Osborne and Howard Hewitt are constantly playing shows.Jermaine got lazy.

Jeffrey Osborne didn't get robbed though

The whole notion about Jermaine all of a sudden became lazy after putting out a truth record is a myth

That truth record from 1991 cost him his career and he knew it when he released it

Anyone can pull up that interview he did with Bryant Gumbel on the today show in 1991 and he practically conceded that

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.


Really? Why do you think this is the case?

He had the talent, he was a Jackson (and therefore had the name value) and a good enough work ethic at the time.

It's funny. Only black people defend MJ's family and make excuses for them. Is it for the sake of buddy system or do they actually condone their behaviour and morals? I'm not a racist: I'm just stating what I objectively see and don't ask this in a demeaning manner. I'm just curious at this phenomenom. REPEAT: I hope this doesn't come off as racist or something like that because it's just a question I ask without any judgement of value regarding any race.
