NowhereGirl,

They are from Minneapolis, Minnesota. There are 8 of them, all brothers and sisters. I think they are of Samoan ethnicity. They had some really good songs out in the 80s...

My favorite is "You Got It All"...

They are a brillant group. I have two of their best of albums and they really know how to write catchy pop songs. I really like Sendin all My love, that song is catchy and uplifting. I like I do U as well. If you Guys like the Jets then what about the artist Noel?? Freestyle music is brill.

Silent Morning is an awesome song.

Man, Rock it to u is a 5th grade nightmare.

I remember when I went to Ocean City MD, right after graduating high school... we rode there on a bus-there was a group of us ...and they played "I've got a Crush on you"...over and over...(The guys did...on their boom box). It was that song, and "I wanna be a Cowboy". So, every time I hear those songs...that's what I think of. That was a great summer.

Ok, after reading this, I really have to find out more about The Jets. Seems I’m missing out here. I'm only familiar with ‘Crush on You’ and ‘Cross My Broken Heart’.

I also absolutely love Freestyle music. It sounds perfect on those old skool ghetto blasters.

Noel’s Silent Morning is a great freestyle tune indeed.
And let’s not forget Shannon: Give Me Tonight, Let the Music Play, My heart’s Divided, Do You Wanna Get Away.. Those are all awesome songs.

I bought this one a year ago. It has all of their hits.

You can also preview every track on this album:

I have a copy of that Album it is really good!! I think Sendin all my love is the best song on there.

There is another group called Expose who are a little similar to The Jets.

Shannon is brillant, I agree with TKO and another group that springs to mind is Company B. Anyone else remember any of those groups?

Oh my god I can't get that album!!! I have Exposes greatest hits album!!! What about Company B. Does any one like them. I love that song Fasinated. I love Stevie B to.

Why oh why could I not have been in my teens in the 80's??? Why? But I suppose I would'nt have been able to have bought all the albums I have now. [Smile]

Hey I like Cynthia and what about Giggles? I love that song 'Girl I am searching for you' by Stevie B it is brill. He is a very good artist. I think he worked with someone through the 90's. I can't remember but he wrote alot of songs for them?? it will come to me in time.

I will get TKA stuff although I have some of thier songs on some Freestyle complimations I have, like Freestyle vol 1 2 and 3.

[Smile]

What about Sierra? She was ace to?
