Hard to believe now: For three or four years between Michael Jackson's Off the Wall album and Thriller, Jermaine Jackson was as famous as his brother. Jermaine was a pretty serious pop star until, well, Thriller turned all the Jacksons (included the talented Reebie) into also-rans. Anyway, on this album, dig "Let's Get Serious" written by Stevie Wonder, who absolutely steals the record away from Jermaine when he breaks in about 1/2 way though the song (S-e-r-i-o-u-s; Baby let's get ser-i-ous...yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah yeaaahhh.....)
