The Yester-Daily Choice: Jermaine Jackson - Tell Me I’m Not Dreamin’ (Too Good To Be True) [Iinstrumental]
There’s been a lot of MJ love being bandied about in light of his tragic, though always looming, death. Which is great, MJ was the King of Pop (self-proclaimed as that title was) and he deserves an internet-crippling amount of grief. But in the muddled tears of all this missin’ MJ, we’re forgetting about MJ’s equally talented bro, Jermaine Jackson.
I read about this track, off Jermaine’s woefully underheard album 1984 from Wax Poetic and was, quite honestly, a little blown away. It has the discordant synth of Thriller but is bereft of the dramatic subtones of that classic. I know absolutely nothing about JJ, but this seems to be a good reason to start picking through the crates.
Also, for you who keep your Jackson diet relegated only to MJ, he sings the vocals on the chorus. Purists, bleck.
