Flashback Tonight- 80's Icons THE JETS (On Location Interview)

[@zghani2410]

The Jets are indeed an underrated group that deserves to be recognized as one of the greatest 80's groups ever! They're so humble still and down-2-earth! The host is very cool; I really enjoy his humor and respectful questions.

[@timetraveler3733]

Yes!

[@db7400]

I love it! I came to the U.S. for the first time in December of 1986, and whenever I hear any of their songs it brings back beautiful memories. I wish I could turn back time 😢. Thank you 💕 😊

[@almartinez37]

I’m an 80’s kid and now I’m close to 50 and I still listen to their songs. I’m so glad they are doing ok.

[@tripwires2]

I'm 51 still love the jets

[@tanyakasim3988]

They made their debut around the same time as New Kids On The Block, I think.🤔☺️

[@Gransonec]

Tell me about it. But, it's not even just the older music. I listen to tracks from their "Reunited" album everyday. Also, I've discovered some of Elizabeth's solo songs and love them. I'm the same age as Elizabeth and they have been my favorite group for all of this time.

[@tracy6490]

Me too and I am 51

[@dustinkenneth338]

I know Im kinda randomly asking but does anyone know a good site to stream newly released series online ?

[@kwuanbrinson5006]

This group never got the true recognition they so truly deserved and earned. They were phenomenal in the 80's💗💯💗It's 2020 and I'm still loving You Got It All🤘

[@lamontthecapricorn9086]

I agree, but they were never underrated to me. Maybe in the US, but I was overseas in the military overseas in the late 80’s/ early 90’s and the club scene was popping everywhere. The Jets,Expose,Cover Girls, Haddaway, Stevie B, Wham, Human League…. I could keep going, but it was just a better time and better music. Yeah I’m a GenXer 😂😂

[@timetraveler3733]

Classic!

Crush on you was a real banger.

I like that one as well .the ballads were awesome though

Dope.

[@IRON5]

Yes also Private Number and Cross My Broken Heart...

Yes it is love that song classic

[@RickyMoss]

Rocket 2 u was a jam too .. that one was one of the guys leading

[@madzskiej.mariveles]

It's so good to see them again in 2019. They used to be 7 members of the Wolfgramm family, I wonder where the three went? Moana has matured though she was the youngest cute member. Elizabeth survived the deadly breast cancer in 2009. I missed them so much . I remember the good old days back in the 80s with them.

[@pgaven9396]

No drugs...no drama..they look and sound amazing!!!!!🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@chriscreekmore210]

We need more positive artists like The Jets! Still one of my all-time favorite groups!

[@jonthomas8569]

How cool is it that they immediately found his key and sang a perfect harmony?! They made that look effortless.

[@mizzafroqueen]

I LOOOOVE them! I am so happy you interviewed this very talented 80s group!

[@fabriennealexander2254]

mizzafroqueen they just did an Unsung episode on tv one it was great

[@mizzafroqueen]

@@fabriennealexander2254 thank you so much! I will look at it

[@yourfriendlybeatmaker4520]

Know one has mentioned the song "You Got It All"... One of the best songs of the eighties and still one of the best R&B songs of all time

[@TheIslandstyle11]

Exactly

[@Lovejazz01]

Your Friendly Beat Maker my all time favorite!!

[@Lonewolf9999-d9r]

That's my favorite track by them. Makes you feel really good listening to it. Has a really good vibe

[@angeldesire6606]

They did mention you got it all. Lol.

[@calisongbird]

Your Friendly Beat Maker yeah, they mentioned it.

[@jocklynsquriewell160]

I can't believe they were offered Dreaming of You and it ultimately went to Selena. I can totally hear The Jets singing it but Selena crushed it.

[@williethomas9953]

You know I thought it was the Jets at first. I could totally hear Elizabeth rocking that song out of the park.

[@alonzotanner1226]

I just found out about that too. Now that I know, I can totally picture Liz killin it on the vocals of that song it’s in her range and she has a similar singing tone to Selena actually. But you’re right, Selena made it the great tune it is til this day.

[@dontworrybehappy8080]

I can totally see that being a Jets song.

[@Lovejazz01]

You Got It All is my all time favorite song and video from the 80's, so cool to be young in the 80's, it captured the essence of the decade and made you wanna be in love if you wasn't, the guy was right in the Unsung episode, if there was any group that needed to be on Unsung it is The Jets, they finally got there story told. I just wished the world stayed with them past the 80'’cause they were and still are all so talented. Elizabeth is one of my favorite singers and should have been a solo star also!

[@MultiMrMiles]

indeed THAT song , video and atmosphere captured that true 80s feeling completly...it was the BEST decade ever, new times are for zombies...really

[@Lovejazz01]

MultiMrMiles zombies indeed! They don’t know or care about love songs, just sex and drama!

[@SquidProQuo80]

The first time I heard that song I dropped everything and did some investigation to find out who it was... never would have imagined that lil' sis was only 12 when she dropped those vocals!

[@gheerock4077]

the other girl in the back, she seems a downer or a party popper..just quiet and sad looking. Maybe she's just listening?

[@Lovejazz01]

@@gheerock4077 she’s their younger sister, she wasn’t performing with them back in the 80’s and 90’s but she’s has been performing with them now for about a decade, she’s probably quiet because he’s focusing on the Jets back in the day and Eddie, Moana and Kathy was there.

[@lizam888]

Just finished watching their Unsung story. It's sad the business affected their family relationships. But it's nice to see they're all doing well. Hopefully they all reunite and create more beautiful music together🙏 ❤️the Jets!

Another talented group that got used and abused by the recording industry. Legendary Jets, keep your head up and come to a town near me.

[@cyndilelyn]

what happened to them? Abuse?

[@mustafahajj]

@@cyndilelyn The recording industry ripped them off. They were taken advantage of by singing and dancing with nothing to show for it. No royalties no publishing no anything for their hard work.

[@ascales30]

Delious Kennedy from All-4-One

[@DallasSniper]

I glad they finally did an Unsung episode about them. It's sad that they split up and are performing as two separate groups under the same name.

[@brandonm5165]

Dallas Sniper I saw the episode a few weeks ago it was very sad that the family doesn’t even speak anymore. And they don’t even speak to their mom which is really sad

[@Lonewolf9999-d9r]

The music business is something else, man. It can even make families split up 😞

[@brandonm5165]

Lionel Kennedy But to not even speak to your mom and dad over some music rights? I wish they could just find peace and make up. Sometimes it’s easier said then done

[@johndavis6719]

I also wonder if they ever sued there first manager that robbed them from what they really made I saw the episode on them on Unsung.

They said in this interview that they settled the lawsuit and are healing the wounds.

I have seen all the great rock bands in live concert: Led Zepplin, Janice Joplin, Grateful Dead, Santana, James Brown, Quicksilver, etc. and I have to say one of the greatest live acts I have ever seen in concert was the Jets in the 80's. They were incredible and they were just kids.

They are all of great faith and outward and inward beauty. Sadly, there is a big family rift that has divided their family into 2 groups, which is common in many families in not just Showbiz, but elsewhere. Elizabeth is married to her husband Mark, and they live in Hawaii. The rest of them have families, children, and grandchildren, and live in Vegas, Utah, and elsewhere.
