Jermaine Jackson Pick

Jermaine always feels like the Jackson brother with the most complicated story. He was the one who stayed at Motown when the rest of the family left, largely because of his connection to Berry Gordy through marriage. He was also one of the few Jacksons who regularly played bass in the group's early years. Looking over this pick, I realized it is not really built around solo hits at all. The Jacksons selections all put Jermaine in the spotlight, many of the guest appearances exist because of his voice, and there is even a wonderfully unlikely DEVO connection tucked into the middle of the set. It ends up tracing his path through the family story, from bassist and brother to solo artist and eventually Jackson again. It is another interesting branch of the Jacksons family tree.
