He is best known for being a member of the Jackson family. From 1964 to 1975, Jermaine was second vocalist after his brother Michael of the Jackson 5, and played bass guitar. Since 1983 he rejoined the group, now known as the Jacksons. Jermaine sang the lead on some of The Jackson 5's biggest hits, and featured in "I'll Be There" and "I Want You Back" amongst others. When the four others left and had to reform as The Jacksons, Jermaine, who had just married Motown founder Berry Gordy's daughter Hazel, stayed at Motown and was replaced by his youngest brother, Randy. Jermaine had a solo career concurrent with his brother Michael's and some top-30 hits until the 1980s, produced and recorded duets with Whitney Houston at her debut in 1985, and was a producer for the band Switch. After seven years he rejoined The Jacksons and remained throughout their various breakups and reunions.

Early life
Jermaine was born December 11, 1954, at St Mary's Mercy Hospital in Gary, Indiana, after his brother Tito Jackson. He is the fourth child born to Joseph and Katherine Jackson. His siblings are Rebbie, Jackie, Tito, La Toya, Marlon, Brandon (Marlon's twin who died shortly after birth in 1957), Michael, Randy, and Janet. Father, Joe had musical aspirations, playing guitar with his brother Luther in an R&B band, the Falcons, and mother Katherine a devout Jehovah's Witness was a passionate pianist and singer,. Their large family and limited means made them refocus, with Katherine becoming a housewife and Joe a steel mill worker at nearby Inland Steel Company in East Chicago, Indiana, where they lived before moving to Gary in 1950.

When his father, Joe worked long hours as a crane operator, Jermaine and his brothers, Tito and Jackie, secretly practiced their own songs using Joe's guitar, and they sang harmonies with mother Katherine . Jermaine became the original lead singer, and also played the bass in the Jackson Brothers, an earlier incarnation of the Jackson 5 until 1966, when younger brother Michael began singing lead. Father Joe began rehearsing his sons under a strict regimen when he realized their potential, seeing his sons’ talent as a way out of Gary. Jermaine would continue to provide some leads over the years. Jermaine graduated from Birmingham High School in Van Nuys, Los Angeles, California, in 1973.

Jermaine and his brothers first signed as The Jackson 5 with Gordon Keith of Steeltown Records in November 1967, and their first single "Big Boy", was released on January 31, 1968. After the group recorded three more songs with the Steeltown label (on two records) they were signed with Berry Gordy of Motown Records in 1969. As the co-lead singer of The Jackson 5 after his brother Michael, Jermaine sang notable parts of "I Want You Back", "ABC", "I'll Be There", "The Love You Save", "Dancing Machine", and many other Jackson 5 songs. Jermaine performed as part of the group for six years. Not feeling that they were being paid fair royalties by Motown Records for their success as well as their desire for creative control, the Jackson 5 decided to leave the label and sign with Epic Records in 1975. However, Jermaine decided to stay with Motown Records, citing loyalty to the company as the reason. Others argue that Jermaine's marriage to Motown founder Berry Gordy's daughter Hazel, whom he married in 1973, was a deciding factor.

Jermaine split from the Jackson Five to start a solo career at Motown, and was replaced by his brother Randy Jackson. Unbeknownst to the group, Gordy had trademarked the name The Jackson Five and did not allow the group to continue using the name when they left the label. Once signed with Epic, the group became known simply as The Jacksons. In 1983, Gordy asked the group to perform at the Motown 25: Yesterday, Today, Forever television special. After the success of the broadcast, Jermaine finally rejoined the band to record the album Victory which featured all six brothers on the Jackson's album cover. Jermaine also participated in the band's Victory Tour. He stayed with the group for their final album, 2300 Jackson Street, in 1989. Jermaine performs the song If You'd Only Believe, from their 2300 Jackson Street album, on March 15, 1993, with his brothers Jackie, Tito and Randy, on the stage of the Grand Théâtre de Genève for the evening of the Nations. He also performed this song alone, on January 14, 1990, in Atlanta, in tribute to Martin Luther King, during King Week 90 '. In 1997, he was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame with the Jackson 5. In 2001, he reunited with his brothers to perform for the Michael Jackson 30th Anniversary Special.

Solo career
Like Michael, Jermaine began a solo career while still a member of The Jackson 5, and had a hit with the 1972 Shep and the Limelites cover "Daddy's Home". It sold over one million copies by March 1973, and was awarded a gold disc. When The Jackson 5 left Motown in 1975, Jermaine left the group and stayed at the label until 1983, when he finally rejoined his brothers for the Motown 25 television special, and their album Victory the following year. Jermaine was nominated for the Grammy Award for Best Male R&B Vocal Performance for his 1980 album Let's Get Serious. He had a number of Billboard top-30 hits throughout the 1970s and 1980s, including "Daddy's Home" (No. 9), "That's How Love Goes", "Let's Be Young Tonight", "Bass Odyssey", "Feel the Fire", "Let Me Tickle Your Fancy" (featuring Devo on backing vocals) (No. 18), "Let's Get Serious" (No. 9, also one of his only two UK hits, peaking at No. 8), "Dynamite" (No. 15), "Do What You Do" (No. 13), and "I Think It's Love" (No. 16). A duet with his brother Michael, "Tell Me I'm Not Dreamin' (Too Good to Be True)", hit number one on the dance chart in 1984. Michael and he also collaborated with Rockwell, both providing guest vocals on his 1984 hit single, "Somebody's Watching Me".

In 1985, his duet with Pia Zadora, "When the Rain Begins to Fall", topped several singles charts in Europe. His final chart success, 1989's "Don't Take It Personal", hit number one on the R&B singles chart. Some of Jermaine's finest moments as a singer can be heard in the soulful "Castles of Sand" and the Earth Wind & Fire-inspired "You Need to Be Loved". Jermaine was the executive producer of The Jackson Family Honors concert televised from the MGM Grand on February 22, 1994 . On May 19, 2003, he performed "Let's Start Right Now" live on the talk show "The View", hosted by Barbara Walters.

Jackson is proficient on the electric guitar and is a talented bass guitar player. At an early age, he performed the parts of legendary bass player James Jamerson and others when the Five performed live. His main instrument was a Gibson EB-3. Jermaine also composed and produced for other artists, such as Switch and he produced and sang duets on Whitney Houston's debut album for Arista Records. Jackson is featured on the Switch track "Tahiti Hut" released in 2019, recorded during the Reaching for Tomorrow sessions.

Reality television
Jackson was the first housemate to enter the Celebrity Big Brother 5 house in 2007, which he placed 2nd. After leaving Big Brother, Jackson did several interviews on UK television explaining why and how he took his peaceful and mediating stance in the Big Brother house. He also spoke about the Jackson Five reuniting for a performance. Jackson was part of the second season of the CMT reality show Gone Country. On the premiere episode of season three of the ABC reality show Celebrity Wife Swap on April 15, 2014, Jackson and his wife Halima swapped places with Daniel Baldwin and his on-again, off-again girlfriend Isabella Hofmann.

Later work
In April 2007, Jackson returned to the UK to take part in a one-off special of ITV's Challenge Anneka. On the same trip, he appeared in Glasgow with British Prime Minister Gordon Brown, speaking in support of Searchlight magazine's anti racism campaign, the Daily Mirror "Hope Not Hate bus".

On November 23, 2007, Jackson appeared on Katie & Peter: Unleashed and again talked of a reunion with his brothers on a tour the following year. In 2008, Jackson flew to Australia to be a guest judge and mentor for the top-five Michael Jackson night on Australian Idol. In March 2008, Jackson was the guest of honor at the Muslim Writers Awards in Birmingham. In 2009, following his brother Michael's passing, Jermaine appeared on the A&E television series The Jacksons: A Family Dynasty, documenting what was supposed to be a 40th-anniversary reunion between Jermaine and his brothers. The series lasted one season and Jermaine, along with his three brothers, was listed as an executive producer. In October 2010, Jermaine played a concert at the Planet Hollywood hotel and casino in Las Vegas, naming it "40 Years of Jackson Music" and dedicating the concert to Michael. He wrote the memoir You Are Not Alone: Michael Through a Brother's Eyes (2011).

In a 2012 interview with Luka Neskovic, for The Huffington Post, Jackson said that his brother planned a reunion with him: "... the plan was to do some shows with the brothers, as well, after he finished his commitment with the "This Is It" [concert], and we probably gonna do some songs with him on the "This Is It" tour". In October 2012, Jackson released I Wish You L.O.V.E, his first solo album in 21 years, consisting mostly of jazz covers. The album was arranged and produced by French opera singer David Serero, who recorded a duet on "Autumn Leaves" with Jermaine, and was released by David Serero Productions. They both performed You Are Not Alone: The Musical, written, directed and produced by Serero, in France in January 2013. The following year, You Are Not Alone: The Musical Live was released on video and audio.

Close my eyes and I see your face at night
Toss and turn, fall to sleep holding my pillow tight
All the time I think of you

Walk around with a smile upon my face
In my mind you have taken up permanent space
I am feeling what I can't explain

And if what you're feeling is the same

Let's get serious
Let's get serious
Let's get serious

Overall Meaning

The lyrics in “Let’s Get Serious” by Jermaine Jackson depict a deep infatuation the singer has towards someone special. The opening line suggests that the person is constantly on his mind and appears in his dreams. Even when he tries to sleep, he can't escape the image of their face. Despite the constant thoughts, he still walks around with a smile on his face. He has fallen in love with this person, and it feels unexplainable but powerful. He desires to be with them and have them in his arms. The song expresses a longing for a deeper connection, and the repetition of "let's get serious" solidifies the idea that the singer is not just playing around, he is ready to commit and fall in love.

The chorus is a declaration of the singer's desires. The repeated phrase "Let's get serious and fall in love" intensifies the request to be with this person. The acronym S E R I O U S spells out the title of the song while emphasizing the need for a devoted and authentic relationship. The song has almost an urgency about it; the repetition of the phrase "Let's get serious" in the chorus emphasizes the intensity of his longing to pursue a meaningful relationship.

Line by Line Meaning

Close my eyes and I see your face at night
Even when my eyes are closed, I can still vividly visualize your face in my mind.

Toss and turn, fall to sleep holding my pillow tight
I can't stop thinking about you even when I'm trying to sleep at night, so I hold onto my pillow tightly wishing it was you I was holding.

All the time I think of you
You're constantly on my mind and I can't get you out of my thoughts.

You're with me no matter what I do
Despite my actions and circumstances, my heart always turns to you and the thought of you remains a constant presence in my life.

Walk around with a smile upon my face
The mere thought of you fills me with joy and puts an everlasting smile on my face as I walk through my day-to-day life.

In my mind you have taken up permanent space
Thoughts of you have become a permanent fixture in my mind that inhabits my every waking thought.

I am feeling what I can't explain
My love for you is so intense and indescribable that I can't put it into words or find a way to fully articulate its depth.

And if what you're feeling is the same
If you feel the same way about me, then we should act on our love and take things further.

Let's get serious
Let's take our relationship to the next level and commit to each other.

And fall in love
Let us allow ourselves to succumb to the all-consuming feeling of love that we share and savor every moment of it.

In your arms is the place I want to be
Being wrapped up in your embrace is the only place that I yearn to be.

With my love in you and your love inside of me
Through our love, we are able to find ourselves in each other, and I am filled with joy at the thought of sharing a love so deep that it resides in one another.

Longing for each other just ain't fair
The love between us is so strong that it is unfair to continue to long for each other; rather it is high time we made it real and gave our love a chance to blossom.

When we've got so much love we want to share
Given the boundless love that we share, it would be a great injustice to keep it to ourselves and it's high time we start sharing it with one another.

Most this was filmed in the Netherlands. This is Dutch television show, maybe Stevie was not available at the time?.

@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!!

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.

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.

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!

I would have loved for him to embraced the bass more. During, this time we were loosing the bass feel to the keyboards. However, Stevie Wonder wrote another great song.

Jermaine had talent but by this time Motown was 5 years behind michael’s producers. This song would have slapped the charts harder if it had been released when Stevie wrote it 4 years earlier. It would have predated michaels off the wall album by 3 years and given jermaine a head start. At that rate he could have been moving on to Dynamite before Thriller and it would have been an interesting race to see what could have happened next.
