Jermaine sings with Rita Coolidge on We've Got Tonite from her 1983 album Never Let You Go. That song was first released by Bob Seger in 1978 (as We've Got Tonight) and became a hit by Kenny Rogers & Sheena Easton in 1983. Jermaine also does background vocals on Rita's 1983 song Shadow In The Night.

Rita & Jermaine wrote & sing Is It Always Gonna Be Like This on his 1981 album I Like Your Style. Rita does the rhythm arrangement. Jermaine produced it. It was remade by Raymond & Claudia in 1982

Jackie co-wrote (with Jack Wargo & Pamela Phillips-Oland) and arranged Playin' With Fire from Greg Phillinganes' 1984 album Pulse. The song appeared on the soundtrack for the movie Touch And Go released in 1986. On the same album, Greg recorded Behind The Mask, which Mike wrote lyrics to a 1979 Yellow Magic Orchestra song of the same name. Mike does background vocals on Greg's version. Greg also played keyboards on Eric Clapton's version released in 1986 (on the LP August) & Mike's version released in 2010 (on Michael). Shanice Wilson does ad libs on Mike's version. Greg has played on songs by The Jacksons, Mike, Jermaine, Janet, & Marlon and has toured with the brothers.

Janet dances in Jermaine Dupri's 2005 video for Gotta Getcha and Mike (& other 1980s acts) appear in the 1984 video for L.A. Is My Lady by Frank Sinatra. George Benson is playing guitar. Another Jackson connection with George is Ola Ray was in the video for Give Me The Night before Thriller.




I don't think Michael appears on LA is my Lady, it's a lookalike. However, LaToya makes a cameo appearance with Dean Martin.

The real Mike is standing with Frank around 2:50 of the video. You're probably talking about the gloved hand in the park. The body isn't shown, so that person does not really have to look like him.

Tito (with Vassal Benford) produced 2 songs on gospel singer Tramaine Hawkins' 1987 album Freedom.

Freedom (background vocals: Jackie Jackson, Jermaine Jackson, Randy Jackson, Tito Jackson / keyboards & digital synth: Tito Jackson, Vassal Benford)
Power (writers: David Ritz, Tito Jackson, Vassal Benford / guitar: Tito Jackson / digital synth: Tito Jackson, Vassal Benford)

It's interesting that both Randy Jacksons worked on this album, the one from The Jacksons & the one who was later on American Idol, who played bass on another song

I believe Alright Now was originally written and recorded by MJ and Barnes as far back as 1983.

Stevie Wonder - All I Do (background vocals: Betty Wright, Walter Williams, Eddie Levert, Michael Jackson, Jamil Raheem)

This is from Stevie's 1980 album Hotter Than July. He originally wrote this song for Tammi Terrell, who recorded it in 1966. Her version was titled All I Do Is Think About You. The Jackson 5 sang background on You Haven't Done Nothin' from Stevie's 1974 LP Fulfillingness' First Finale. Around this time, Stevie produced a few songs for the J5, that weren't released at the time. One of the songs (You're Supposed To Keep Your Love For Me) was re-recorded for Jermaine's 1980 album Let's Get Serious. Another song from the J5 sessions called Buttercup, was recorded by Carl Anderson and released on his 1986 self-titled album. The J5 version was released in 2009 on I Want You Back! Unreleased Masters, but the other J5/Stevie songs are still unreleased. Stevie produced & played instruments on 2 other songs from Let's Get Serious (Let's Get Serious, Where Are You Now). Stevie wrote Let's Get Serious and co-wrote Where Are You Now with his sister Renee Hardaway. Stevie also co-wrote I Think It's Love with Jermaine & Michael Omartian, which was on Jermaine's 1986 album Precious Moments.

Mac & Jack

Paul McCartney gave Girlfriend to Mike which was released in 1979 on Off The Wall, which omitted some of the lyrics from Wings' version on 1978's London Town

They recorded 3 songs together, The Girl Is Mine on 1982's Thriller & The Man / Say Say Say on Paul's 1983 album Pipes Of Peace. Paul & Mike wrote both songs on Paul's album. They both sang on Yeah (posted earlier in the thread) which was on the 1992 album Love's Alright by Eddie Murphy. Yeah also features Stevie Wonder, Luther Vandross, & Howard Hewett. Howard did backgrounds on PYT from Thriller, 3 songs from Janet's 1982 debut album (Don't Mess Up This Good Thing, Forever Yours, Come Give Your Love To Me), Heart Don't Lie from LaToya's 1984 album of the same name, and the song Jackie wrote/produced (Playin' With Fire) for Greg Phillinganes. Phillip Ingram (from Switch) & his brother James (wrote PYT with Quincy Jones) are the other background singers on Playin' With Fire. Howard wrote Frustration (on the same Heart Don't Lie album) with Chuck Gentry and produced it with Amir Bayyan. Howard Hewett, Mike, Stevie Wonder & James Ingram are part of the choir on State Of Independence from Donna Summer's 1982 self-titled album. On a related note, Howard's fellow member from Shalamar, Jeffrey Daniel, was in Mike's Bad & Smooth Criminal videos and Paul McCartney's 1984 movie Give My Regards To Broad Street during the Silly Love Songs part.

Mike sang on Carole Bayer Sager's song Just Friends on her 1981 album Sometimes Late At Night. He recorded a song Carole wrote with David Foster (It's The Falling In Love) on Off The Wall. Carole released her version (with Michael McDonald on background) in 1978 on ...Too. Mike's 1979 version is a duet with Patti Austin. Patti remade a song (Let It Ride written by Jermaine, Gregory Williams {Switch}, & Michael McGloiry) from Jermaine's 1978 album Frontiers on her 1979 album Live At The Bottom Line. Patti also released Give It Up (written by Mike & Randy on Triumph from 1980) in 2011 on her album Sound Advice. Couldn't find the studio version on Youtube, but there's a 2014 concert video.

Was basically a "Thank You" from MJ for Get On The Floor. MJ wrote some of it, you can tell.
