A look back at 20th century African American pop culture: advertising, film, music, fashion and anything else I can get my hands on. All in good fun.

Jermaine Stewart
Here's an old school song that you don't hear anymore: Jermaine Stewart's "The Word is Out," from 1984. Looking at the video and listening to the lyrics now, it seems rather clear to me that despite what images portray, Jermaine ain't really singing about no girl.
Nevertheless, Jermaine was a talented performer who released four albums in his relatively short recording career between 1984 and 1989 and even briefly appeared in an episode of "Miami Vice." He died in 1997 at age 39.
