Love how the author couldn't spell Jermaine. Spelled it Germaine about a dozen times!
ReplyDeleteGermaine was seen a lot in the early years, but you'd think by 1972, they'd have the knowledge that it's JERMAINE! lolol... Especially since Jermaine was the signature teen idol.
ReplyDeleteSomeone told me that Jermaine originally spelled his name that way but the spelling was changed soon after they went to Motown. Not sure that's true.
ReplyDeleteI find it interesting that on the J5 Live at the Forum cd, the brothers almost always call Jackie "Jack," unless they're talking about him to the audience. In the Philadelphia concert in May 1970, Michael calls Tito "Toriano" whenever he talks about him.
