The rhythm of our past, gives me a blues for today. Groove with me as I travel back down musical airwaves and join up with my favorite artists of R&B. Come and see who's next on the R&B Express...

Remembering Rhythm & Blues: Taking A Step Back With The Jets


Taking A Step Back With The Jets

I'm think I'm losing it. Let me ask you a question -- you ever reach that point in a relationship where you feel the fight coming and you just don't do anything to stop it? Well, I'm itching to get into it with a certain man that I live with, but instead of verbal jabs tonight, I think I'm going to try... THE SILENT TREATMENT. And I was all ready to lay it on THICK, until I heard, You Got It All, by The Jets:


The Jets are a family group from Minneapolis, Minnesota who specialize in pop, R&B and dance music.

The original band consisted of the 8 oldest children of Maikeli "Mike" and Vaké Wolfgramm: Eddie, Elizabeth, Eugene, Haini, Kathi (b. 16 September 1969, Minneapolis), Leroy, Moana and Rudy. Mike and Vaké, who have 17 children total, are originally from the South Pacific island kingdom of Tonga. Contrary to popular belief, they are not Hispanic or African-American.

'The Jets' under this original lineup had a number of Hot 100 hits, including 5 that hit the Top 10: "Crush On You", "You Got It All", "Cross My Broken Heart", "Rocket 2 U", and "Make It Real," and "Sendin' All My Love," which only went to #88 on the Hot 100, hit #1 on the Hot Dance Music/Club Play chart. "You Got It All" and "Make It Real," both ballads featuring lead vocals by 'Elizabeth Wolfgramm,' were both #1 hits on the Adult Contemporary chart.


Damn, You Got It All, is such a beautiful love song and as I sit down here in the dining room trying to maintain my anger, I feel it slowly dying as I watch this video...
