Rebbie is my favorite of the Jackson sister. Not to mention the most normal and the best looking. This was a great song, not because of her voice but it is a well written dance tune. Just makes ya want to get on the dance floor and do your thing. I thought she would have some staying power in the music business. But I guess some people were saying..."Just how many Jacksons can we take?" LOL
