This song is STILL A BANGER 43 years later❤🌟

[@tonylusby5680]

Yep this song definitely got Stevie wonder written over it Jermaine did good job with this song!!

[@kamiafunchess2126]

That's Stevie straight singing the bridge

[@Cary1985]

Of course because Stevie Wonder is his cousin

[@Crissy991]

​@@Cary1985how? Stop lying

[@LAWoman323213]

I think Stevie wrote this song

[@Hi.Shadow]

@@Crissy991it’s true! Thats Stevie vocals on the bridge. Rebbie did the same thing with Centipede, Martha Wash sang the bridge.

[@EYE_GOTCHA]

Jermaine was so handsome. I wish that he and Michael had left their beautiful faces alone. 😢

[@thabilsterone]

Killer Song! Jermaine is Great in this! The 7 min version is the Best! This was the Number 1 song of the Year for that Year.

[@MrDunkiep]

Jermaine does a brilliant Stevie Wonder impression at 1:38 😂

[@garryrscott]

Yeah, he did Stevie better than Stevie!😂😂😂

[@lakanjalaroberts8278]

😂😂😂😂 this is comment

[@sylviamartinez3440]

I love this song brought back a lot of memories, I was in elementary school, all the Jackson kids are well loved

[@Mochrie99]

Love this. The Jacksons were an insanely talented group, both together and individually. Jermaine is really rocking this! He's fantastic!

[@cupofjavaproductions3138]

👍🏿

[@luvs879]

Jermaine is so talented!! He had some bops back in the 80s, great song.

[@ethanang3527]

Wait till you see Janet.

[@RichV20]

Stevie Wonder penned tune.

[@vincentferrigno9726]

So talented, he can't dance.

[@SheriFromDetroit]

Loved them too

[@tracys_talk]

Name one.

[@DjDamnStrange]

Jermaine is my favourite Jackson, real 100%

[@RiriJackson-s2v]

This is a whole groove...you tapped into Mr. Stevie Wonder on this one

[@-SpiderBrown-]

I dont understand why mj fans hate jermaine, he was also a great singer and composer, had really good songs.

[@-SpiderBrown-]

@Steve Mason i wouldnt say "all them are" , but yeah, a huge part is very toxic. Im huge (HUUUGE) Mj fan and i can see it clearly

[@Isabella.--]

@Steve Mason as a MJ fan we are going to say that all those MJ fans who are just like that are no longer MJ fans we are passing them down to Justin Bieber fans

[@_swesters_]

I think most Michael fans are also fans of the whole Jackson family idk about you but that's what I've seen

[@addija8143]

Coz jamain really ddnt like michaels success

[@nebzshady9389]

I think it was cause at one point Jermaine made a diss track about his brother? "Word to the Badd" I think. I didn't listen to it. But after that, Jermaine became MJ's biggest supporter before he died.

[@haseenaayousaf7114]

those female dancers are really going for it x

[@otistherigger]

But Jermaine ain't though. LOL!

[@Crissy991]

Jermaine sounds great

[@waynewood-wl3mb]

One of my all time favourites and was great in the night clubs.

[@Alexandre92425]

Jermaine playing bass on this song and monster, beast of music

[@wmhhealth2018]

Nate Watts is the bass player. He was Stevie's bassist for decades

[@MegaDiva1999]

Jermaine was SUPER fine back in the day oh my GOSH.....

[@MetalHeart8787]

Im here because me and my wife just watched an episode of the old show The facts of Life, season 3 ep 15 star struck. Tooty is in Love with Jermaine and goes to a show, my wife said i didn't he sang? i said yeah he did so i searched on here to show her a Video of his.

[@cttimes]

It was Billboard's #1 Soul hit for the entire year of 1980, beating out brother Michael's platinum-certified mega-hit "Rock with You" which was #2 for the year.

[@RobParksJr]

I didn't know that, pretty dope. I checked myself, ur 100% right. I was 5 in 1980. My Grandfather used to rock this . Motown.

[@semiribrahim8956]

Rock with you hit number one...

[@heythatslia6595]

yet michael still became the bigger star...well the biggest actually

[@heythatslia6595]

besides, that's a whole different chart from the hot 100

[@Tgogators]

“Michael just got lucky. It could have easily been me” on his Thriller style success.

[@michellemartin3401]

Jermanine did his thing that song was a monster hit 1980.

[@SheriFromDetroit]

Miss those days, best music

[@fatimahlee7355]

His outfit is on point👍 He is gorgeous 😍 His vocals are great ✨#LoveYouJacksons

[@BB504_.]

This is when Jermaine was serious ❤💯 you can definitely hear Stevie Wonder all over this musically and vocally

[@Stephanie-vn6ir]

I was Gonna Say the same exact thing!😂❤

[@moniquebowens800]

😊One of two great songs that I really like of Jermain's.

[@lechef415]

This one slaps hella hard. I love that you can just tell it was written by Stevie Wonder

[@queenceecee216]

Jermaine was something without Michael and still is. How rude. He doesn't have to be Michael to be good. Don't hate him because he is not Michael. People can be so mean. All the Jacksons were inducted into the Hall of Fame. They all worked together. It started out as the Jackson five not Michael and the Jacksons. I love them all, with or without Michael. RIP Michael

[@lawrencemalloy9673]

Right on

[@jamesstrickland6831]

M T What did Michael have to do with this song? I don’t see him anywhere

[@FC-bs1vl]

All of them excluding La Toya

not all the jacksons, randy was not inducted.

[@blackjag121]

Stevie Wonder come through with those background vocals

[@goedeck1]

Jermaine is kicking it

[@lateshiachilds3640]

I'm 41, I'm a fan of Jermaine his solo music is amazing.

Beautiful song ❤️

[@lawrencemalloy9673]

I love this song thanks for producing this Stevie Wonder great music

[@RealmoftheBlackShadow]

Maybe he sung it too? That thought never criss crossed your mind?

[@JohnCashin]

I was 16, just left school, on a bus going to Camden Town back in 1980, this other man on the same bus just kept singing this song over and over, and I thought "what's this man singing, is he crazy or what??". But then when I heard this myself played on the radio etc, I was also singing it over and over lol. It sure was a classic back in the day 🙂

[@dystar112]

I loved this song as a teenager. Still so funky 💙

I loved this song and am learning to do this with my band. No one will really know it but I'll let folks know its Jermaine Jackson and Stevie Wonder. I bought Jermaine's album in 1980 when this song was released and still have it. Jamming song.

Somebody explain why Jermaine singing the Stevie part like it’s him!

Song is slamming though

[@ephramwalton]

Probably because Stevie isn't in the video 🤣

[@miskelproducts41]

Wait!!! I've been listening to this song since it first came out when I was a kid. In the bridge, Stevie Wonder is singing S-E-R-I-O-U-S. In forty years I never realized that!

[@wendellwartes9672]

Stevie wonder wrote and produced this song.

Wendell Wartes i know

It sounds very much like one of his songs.

@@ajs41 it sounds like 'Black Man' from the 'Songs in the key of life' album

Jermaine couldn’t dance but he really knew how to 🎤

First time I watched this I thought that Stevie Wonder part was actually Jermaine, and that he just had serious voice talent to switch up his voice like that.

[@princetaylor2239]

1:50 is just AMAZING 😍

He's also a good singer.

Stevie Wonder wrote this song and you can hear him singing at 1.39. Jermaine is miming Stevie’s parts 🫣

[@butterscotchprincess7630]

❤❤❤❤❤

[@Rashy225]

It’s hilarious that he lip syncs Stevie’s part. Like does he want us to think he spontaneously gained a totally different singing voice for 10 seconds? To top it off he does it with a straight face.

[@pauleke-qu1uy]

Can you please the world?

[@troyarrington5485]

While his personal life is,somewhat...messy...Jermaine has always been a great singer. His ballads are his best work...not to mention...he wrote,produced,and composed all of Switch's early material.

[@deathmetaldouglas69]

Great Googly Moogly. That bass!!

[@California-cn4nk]

Jermaine went hard on this song written by Stevie Wonder! He had to bring it hard because I still hear Stevie within Jermaine's voice and delivery. Who think Bruno Mars deserves a shot at this song? I think brother Bruno could do it! Lol!

[@withthemostcake]

That is Stevie’s voice blended with his!

[@johnnytdufc]

This song came out in 1979 (maybe '78) but I saw a lot of time in the backseat of my Dad's Cadillac Fleetwood Brouhm D'elegance..... Her name was Kristen (Bonny Doon) and she was GORGEOUS!!
