  • Jermaine Jackson celebrates his birthday on December 11, 1954 into one of the greatest family rock groups ever.
    After the run of hits on Motown, the group was considering leaving them for Epic when Jermaine decided to stay on at Motown and marry Hazel Gordy, daughter of Berry Gordy. The Jacksons went on to greater fame replacing him with Randy and they hit heights that approached their 60's output.
    Jermaine worked with Stevie Wonder for this funk infused disco tune "Let's Get Serious" in 1980 and it became a massive R&B hit spending six weeks at the top becoming his biggest hit ever on that chart.
    I instantly loved the heavy funk of "Serious" and when Stevie started singing his part I was in the stratosphere! I could use my Detroit moves on that one and it kept me on the floor for several nights in a row.
    Jermaine would go on to record with Whitney Houston long before she broke with "Don't Go Breaking My Heart" on her debut album.

    In 1980 who would have thought we still be listening to this song 43 years later.

    My cousin used to work on a site store in LA years ago and said that Jermaine came in every weekend to buy sneakers and he said Jermaine was the nicest, must down to earth guy you could ever meet. This is one of my all time favorites. That bass!

    I wish Jermaine Jackson had been as successful as brother Michael. Having said that, “Let’s Get Serious” was an excellent jam and Stevie Wonder got to do some singing. He did some serious writing, arranging and producing for this song. I’m glad DiscoCat refreshed this 1980 jam.

    This song was a massive hit. But I think the follow-up single is an underrated gem: Where Are You Now.

    How strange! About an hour ago Jermaine and Michael's "Tell Me I'm Not Dreaming" popped up in my playlist. Thirty minutes later, you drop this!

    After I found out that Studio 54 had their own version of Ain't No Mountain High enough, I wonder if you could do an Ain't No Mountain High Enough megamix? Combining the original, with Marvin Gaye, the Studio 54 version, the Diana Ross Version and maybe the Sister Act Version to give us the definitive version of that song?
