I remember when my dad bought me the cassette tape. I'm 48 yrs old now! I was so excited when he got home with it! R.I.P. Eugene Hunt/Wolfgramm (9/24/67-4/15/24) 💔

I used to listen to this cassette on repeat on my little Toys R Us tape player in my grandma's basement. Every single song was a banger.

[@arthurwardrip4900]

these kids were talented and added a lot to those times....... good group of kids.

[@dre12337]

they made a splash

[@1972franky]

Don't you just love that Minneapolis skyline??!! My home town!

[@BSimp4242]

Such an underrated group!!! I loved listening to them! Plus I had a huge crush on the sister that played the keyboards!!! LOL!!!

[@realfrantic]

Right there with you! She was a beauty.

[@BSimp4242]

Yes sir she was!!!

[@toroza159]

She found out. I had a "Crush (on her)" Yep, she was fine!

[@RhiannaBarr]

Tony Knighten Moana? She was 11yrs old here

[@frilansspion]

Rhianna Barr no kathi isnt it? 15. and presumably these guys were also younger in the 80s so dont worry :)

[@ScorpioMojo]

This was my jam. I used to dance my young ass off to Private Number. This song was the shit. The Jets had their own sound and style. And they worked it!!

[@seancolbert-lewis6417]

This is my favorite Jets song.

[@sunshinefogleman127]

When I think of the 80's sound and fashion, this song always pops into my mind 🥰 The Jets were such an incredible band.

[@mensax8054]

The 80's was a special time, as you can see

[@dickersonbilly]

ALWAYS WILL BE!!!

[@woken630]

There is no other band that is so energetic and enlightening as the Jets. At 45 years old, I remember seeing the Jets in Stockton CA at the Fox Theater (now the Bob Hope theater) I missed their show at the tequila festival. Now I wished I would of went to see them. The Jets are one of a kind - no other band can match their dance moves and energy with soul and love for music 🎵🎶

[@jonjor1987]

Miki Mecov, you're not the only one that believes the 80's is one of the best & beautiful times,genre,and decade ever. no decade before or after will ever compare to the 80's and its influence is still going on and strong/stronger than ever whether people today see it people who grew up/lived in the 80's may see it and still love it or like it or not. 80's always and forever and ever.

[@falldownhard]

This was a really, really good song and that voice is just wonderful. Bring back real pop with real singers!

[@peacesells]

Its so sad that we wont ever have great bands like The Jets again. I feel sorry for kids today, they have nobody to look up to, i grew up with The Jets, and they were awesome back in the good days. They looked and dressed cool and had great songs. LONG LIVE THE 80's!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@oldskoolmaster596]

The jets got the key.......to my 80's heart...the style, colors, moves, looks...iconic....love me some the jets. A vibe that will never go away....Props!!!!!

[@bernietheobscure]

About a week-and-a-half ago, I heard this song on an '86 episode of "Soul Train" and I swear, it reopened a flood of childhood memories for me. STILL crazy about this song!!!

Listening to this makes me realize how much music has DIED. :(

[@hardtechnoboy]

+rayochapin looks at Ariana Grande and Kesha dressed like miniature prostitutes and weeps (;ﾟ︵ﾟ;)

[@rayochapin]

I have no idea what you're talking about, the only one I know is Kesha and that's only because my kids used to play some dancing game in the Play Station. Don't know about 90% of the trash they put out today. :)

[@mikekaraoke]

I Wanna Dance With Whitney Houston Not everyone in the 80's wore pastel colours or as you yanks say color lol Also in that video whee she is sittin in the chair she is wearing that really nice Sleeveless black dress- And then when she comes out with her jeans, White top and black jacket is fine..that white one with black stripes is also alright- But the red one was pastel loud Also Miami Vice did pastel good

[@mikekaraoke]

I Wanna Dance With Whitney Houston Oh come on you must of liked the sleeveless Black dress that is nice- Went to a party last weekend and few girls were wearing it , And when she is wearing that white top + dress with black stripes was alright and other when where she is just wearing standard jeans, White T-Shirt + Black leather jacket I don't mind her Grey dress except for the sleeves on it, Yea the colours in video for set is over the top think it is mean't to be Like I said Miami Vice dressed well in a'lot of the pastel

[@mikekaraoke]

I Wanna Dance With Whitney Houston Yea exactly, + When I said when she is wearing that white top + dress with black stripes was alright and other when where she is just wearing standard jeans, White T-Shirt + Black leather jacket + the Black sleeveless dress is nice got to admit that as none of them were pastel colours

OMG I remember when this song came out! It was great to roller skate to!

[@horethchinguyen1726]

Hello Jenn, how are you doing today

[@aquaxman45]

Thanks for posting. This brings back so many memories. The 80's were sure amazing. The music was music. You could relate to it. It made you feel that you could grove along to the beat and sing along to the words. I don't even listen to the junk that they play now. I wish I could go back in time and stay there and never have to come back to today.

On this day in 1986 {August 23rd} a video of the Jets' "Private Number" was aired on the ABC-TV Saturday afternoon program, 'American Bandstand'... At the time "Private Number" was at position #37 on Billboard's Hot Soul Singles chart, two weeks later it would peak at #28 {for 1 week} and it spent thirteen weeks on the chart... It reached #47 on Billboard's Hot Top 100 chart... Between 1985 and 1990 the Minneapolis, Minnesota family band had twelve records on the Hot Soul Singles chart, four made the Top 10, "Curiosity" {#8 in 1985}, "Crush On You" {#4 in 1986}, "You Got It All"* {#2 for 1 week in 1986}, and "Rocket 2 U" {#5 in 1988}... * The week "You Got It All" was at #2 on the Hot Soul Singles chart, the #1 record for that week was "Let's Wait Awhile" by Janet Jackson...
