In My Dreams

Anytime I bring you some music, I call that a Z'Bro Moment #WSKO_ZBro, because my music is as diversely open as my heart. I just love good music!

This here song is definitely underrated and deserving of more attention. Yup! So in appreciation this Thanksgiving Eve... I give to you 'In My Dreams' by Jackie Jackson. It came to mind tonight after my daughter, Brianna, had just told me in phone conversation that Granny (my Mother) had came to her dreams last night. Enjoy...



What a wonderful song! Y'all know I want to continue with this vibe tonight. As you all should know by now, I am a HUGE Michael Jackson fan Representing his legacy always and forever, which includes his beloved family #MWMJF. This here song was released through Motown Records(when I was only 19 months old, might I add) on October 14, 1973. I wonder if my MaMa ever liked this song way back then... Hmm??? Definitely sounds like something she would had gelled to. Perhaps she is among us more than we realize. "Perhaps", I like to think ;) 
One thing always leads to another. So this album is on my agenda. Homework. Why don't y'all even throw it on tonight as you do your last minute preparations for the big day tomorrow. Have an enjoyable Thanksgiving. 
More on the this full album release.... Sadly the album suffered from a lack of promotion and did not chart. It was his only full-length solo release for more than 15 years and his only solo album with Motown. Worth the checking out more if you enjoyed this and Jackson Family history, and well good music! 
"Love Don't Want to Leave" has appeared on several Jackson 5 compilations (including Anthology 76Anthology 86 and Soulsation!), but the other tracks only appeared on the 33 rpm vinyl LP, which ranks among the more obscure releases in the Jackson family catalog. The album features background vocals from the Jackson 5 on "Didn't I (Blow Your Mind This Time)" and the B-side opener "Do I Owe".
"Is It Him or Me" was sampled by Nas for his song "War" on his Street's Disciple album.

"Untouchable" The Michael Jackson Tribute featuring Do Knock & Jalles Fr...


God, I miss MJ! But am thankfully reminded of Him everyday, through the magnificent artistry He has inspired in so many others. This is a beautiful tribute to the Greatest 1!



Truly embodies the spirit of every young man who's ever put on a pair of their favorite dancing shoes, possibly even a hat and one glove to imitate Michael Jackson. This is a world class tribute! If Michael were here, I'm sure he'd be 'Speechless.' To dance with MJ's spirit too would just be TOO AMAZING, too!! LOL ;)
