Subject: Remember the Jets?

Does anyone remember the Jets? I liked a few of their biggest songs, like Crush On You, You've Got It All (Over Him) and Make It Real. Whatever happened to them? I didn't hear of any new songs from them after Make It Real.

I loved the Jets. They had some great, classic 80s songs. My favorite will always be "Make It Real", such a beautiful, sweet and romantic song. They don't make songs like that anymore, unfortunately...

A family with like 8 kids, all who played multiple instruments, obviously the 80's answer to the Partridge Family!
They probably did have more hits in Canada(but "Rocket To You" did pretty well in the States), tough to avoid since they were based in Minneapolis. Good thing they didn't record as the Wolfgrams, that was their family name!
I think they're the only successful band that named themselves after a hit song from the 70's, Elton John's "Bennie and the Jets"!
Heard it in an interview, but what do you make of that?
Your Pal,
Doc

1986 - Private Number

Long time Jets fan here. They are still going but in different incarnations. The sisters have a new Christian cd out called "Love At Home" and some of the boys have formed their own indie-rock group.
Here's the semi-official website... www.crushonthejets.com
And the girls have a myspace... http://www.myspace.com/mysisterslove

Weird I was just watching the video for "Make it Real" like two seconds ago. They were cool indeed.

I so remember the Jets.. I liked them and thanks to the fact that the store I work at makes us listen to easy listening cds, I hear the Jets at least once a day!!! ARGH!!! I still sing along though.. ;)

As a matter of fact, I do sorta "remember" them. When "You Got It All" was a big hit 20 years ago, I was in the first grade, but I remember hearing that song all over the radio and kinda grew fond of it at the time. ;D
And today I heard "Make It Real" on the radio.
I also think "Crush On You" and "Rocket 2U" are cool. ;)

The one I remember most as a kid was "You Got it All" which I guess was from 1987 (I didn't know the year until now, I just remember liking it as a kid). They had a few other hits that I learned about recently that I did not know was them, too.

I never knew up until just a couple months or so ago that they performed the theme to the Disney animated series "Chip & Dale Rescue Rangers." Must've been one of the male members that provided the vocal on that.

They also had an extended remix version of that song, with a video The Disney Channel often aired.
Rescue Rangers Away!
