It's 2023 & I STILL miss these 80s vibes yes!! 🤩🤩

The 80's were one of the best decades for music....still rockin' Janet in 2023!

Two of America's greatest musical talents bridging the generation gap and joining forces to create a masterpiece. 36 years later, this tune still lifts my spirits. Thank you, Herb and Janet!!

It's amazing how A&M Records co-founder Herb Alpert collaborates with fellow client Janet Jackson. The label,that was launched in 1962 with Jerry Moss had a great roster with other artists like Alpert's Tijuana Brass,the Carpenters,the Captain & Tennille,Peter Frampton,Styx,Rita Coolidge,Supertramp,Sting and his band The Police,Bryan Adams and more.

Herb Alpert was the president of A&M record company at the time (her record company in 1987, the time when this was released.) Before this he was a big time musician with his band the "Tijuana Brass" and I know this was before I was born. (I'm 48). He was friends with Jam, Lewis as well as Janet and she sang on this song as well as "Making Love in the Rain" for his album "Keep Your Eye On Me".

Actually, from what I know, it was first reported that she had the flu. Then years later said not true. She was pregnant (she was married to Rene Elizando and no one knew she was at the time) had a miscarriage. The little girl who did her Janet routine was on yhe completion show "Puttin on the Hits". Where people performed like their musical idols and lip synched the songs like Lip Sync Battles show. I remember she had Janet moves down perfectly. Always wondered what happened to her..she has to be in her mid 40's now.

Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis are musical genius

Someone very brilliant made the decision that it was not a "Janet" song, but the Legendary'Herb Alpert's piece, which is why Janet doesn't completely appear.

I hadn’t heard of Herb Albert then, and certainly haven’t heard anything from him since. This song is so Janet through & through, complete with producers Jam & Lewis, Jerome, and Paula Abdul’s choreography. Everything about it is her Control album. I doubt it would have been a hit without her. It’s kind of like the Rockwell song Somebody’s Watching Me where Michael sang the chorus. Michael is what made that song a hit. Everything Michael or Janet touched at that time exploded. It was smart marketing that put Janet on this song

I love musicianship so I would have enjoyed the song even without Janet...and that's saying a lot.
