1. The Jets are a family band from Minneapolis, Minnesota, composed of brothers and sisters who specialize in pop, R&B, and dance music, particularly Latin freestyle.
The group officially formed in 1985, with the original lineup fizzling out by 1990. Several members of the family stayed on throughout the 1990s, unofficially reviving the group in the mid to late 1990s as a gospel outfit with most of the original members present.
Various record companies have released collections of songs from the group's popular period, while the modern incarnation of the group continues to perform at various small venues, primarily casinos and private corporate functions.
2. The Jets formed in Utrecht, Netherlands in 1958 as The Rocking Explosives and debuted on stage in 1960. Their instrumental guitarmusic sounded similar to The Shadows. They renamed the band to The Jets in 1963. The group had a big hit in Japan with an instrumental version of 'Goldfinger' under the name The Goldfingers (due to another band in Japan called The Jets). In 1966 The Jets were aiming for succes in England and recorded the single The Pied Piper, a later hit in the version by Crispian St. Peters. The Jets reformed in 1982 and still performs today.
3. Great pop has not been as prominent this decade as in the last but songwritters Graham and Mick are helping to remedy that. It's obvious they share the thoughts and dreams of John, Paul, The Hollies and Dave Clark. Both cuts are previously released as a single, TTR 7805.

The Jets Lyrics

Since you turned me lose
And you know without your loving
My life has no use
I know I made mistakes, now baby
Thinking love would pull me through
Honey, honey, now my love starving heart is killing me
Darling, since I lost you
This love starved heart, it's killing me
Wanting you more than before
Love starved heart of mine, it's killing me
So don't turn me from your door
I guess you know I thrown my pride
Right down in the dirt
What else can I do now, baby
Won't you come take away the hurt
Honey, honey, I got walls in my poor heart
I can't take it now that you're gone
Think I'm gonna cave right in now, honey
The pain is much too strong
This love starved heart, it's killing me
I've seen you deal better dimes
Love starved heart, it's killing me
So have pity on this heart of mine, yeah
Go head
This love starved heart of mine (this love starved heart of mine)
Life's a nightmare and I can't stand it
Since you turned me lose
And you know without your loving
My life has no use
I know I made mistakes, now baby
Thinking love would pull me through
Honey, honey, now my love starving heart is killing me
Darling, since I lost you
This love starved heart, it's killing me
Wanting you more than before
This love starved heart of mine, killing me
So don't turn me from your door
Love starved heart, killing me
I'm wanting you more than before
This love starved heart of mine, it's killing me
So don't turn me from your door
The lyrics to The Jets's song "Somebody To Love Me" convey a sense of desperation and heartbreak from the perspective of the singer. They express how their life has become a nightmare since the person they loved has left them. Without the love of this person, their life feels meaningless and empty. The singer acknowledges their mistakes and had hopes that love would be enough to get them through, but now they are tormented by a love-starved heart that is tearing them apart. They feel desperate for the person they lost and plead for them to not turn them away.
The lyrics paint a picture of a shattered heart and a deep longing for love and connection. The singer has thrown away their pride and is left vulnerable and in pain. They express a sense of hopelessness, as if they are on the verge of giving up. The repeated mention of the love-starved heart emphasizes the intensity of their yearning and the toll it is taking on their emotional well-being.

So many adore Elizabeth. Great lady great voice
@micahisgod5898
Musically, the Jets could have easily transitioned into the 90's and beyond.
@juneberry1982
@L Whitted it was that grunge garbage that sadly put a stop to all the great music of the 80s. At least we can still enjoy it here.
@stevenqbosell
@L Whitted New Edition had albums in the 90's. Don't blame rap and hip hop, music always changes through the decades. Heck, disco took out that doo wop sound, that doo wop sound took out bug band.... its all a cycle!
@Lishmaa
Awww this song is amazing. How sweet that the video clip is recorded in Tonga, which is where The Jets are from. I'm a young person with an a old soul, they really don't make music like they use to.
