Rebbie Jackson is so talented and from the few interviews I have seen of her, she seems to be so sweet as well as beautiful. This family is blessed with so much musical talent in the fore front it's amazing.
was that a Ernest P. Worrell reference at 2:22 when she said "you know what i mean?" with that southern country accent?...lol..that was unique, that's IF that's what she said?
She has the best voice amongst the females in the Jackson family. Marriage and motherhood took her away from the scene..awesome to hear her sing again. I pray she keeps on singing,I love her voice!
This song shows that Rebbie had everything it took to establish an audience and become a huge singer. The "New Jack Swing" style that was taking place in Black music of the late 80's and early 90's was the *IN* thing to do, and Rebbie was showing that with this song. Unfortunately, Janet was already on the scene at this time and making a bigger presence with "Control". Columbia didn't market Rebbie correctly at all.
This song should've been as big as Centipede!! I remember her perfomance on Soul Train, thinking this would top the charts. But CBS records didn't promote her properly. They never gave her the attention she deserved ad an artist. Also Reaction from her second album of the same title was another strong effort that was overlooked. Rebbie has a strong voice, she, Michael, Janet, and Jermaine have the better singing voices in that family.
Rebbie moves with such ease. It comes so naturally for her. She moves the way everyone else breathes. Yet she has her own rhythm, her own style. I love her. Those Jacksons are so amazing.
Plaything came from her 'R U Tuff Enuff' album, which remains one of my all-time favorite albums. This song was written and produced by the guys from Surface.
im 20 and im a mj fan i never really payed close attention to rebe.i never knew she singed too i guest i gave all my attention to michael and janet!!!!
Whenever I think of Rebbie Jackson, I think of the color red cuz in a lot of her videos she's always wearing the color red. She's a very beautiful woman too.
"I'm not your plaything, I'm not your toy, treat me with some respect you're not a little boy". LOL That line always killed me. Thank you Michael for another one of your influences, your other talented sister, Rebbie. RIP, Michael.
auggie, how does it feel seeing your mom doing her thing in her day i guess like watching your uncles. I am so sorry for your family's huge lost. Michael was awesome as i know you know. GOD WILL GET Y'ALL THROUGH.
I don't know how this1988 R&B dance track did on the charts, but this is as funky a dance track as her signature track "Centipede", the beat is slammin', along with that hard bassline, and her vocals fit the track like a glove, fantastic late 80's R&B, no question about that!!
It is a shame Urban AC radio format stations have not kept this song in recurrent airplay along with her other hits. They are all excellently performed songs!
I remember this! It kinda reminds me of Jesse Johnson's "Be Your Man" from 1984--the way the hook goes...I don't wanna be your play thing...no, no, no...his was, "I...wanna be yo' man baby...oh, oh, oh."
Old gurl looks AMAZING IN THIS VID SON!! for her age she looks youthful and has a rockin bod , must run in the fam (excluding latoya) , great vid from a great sistah , 5/5 from me!
i wouldn't mind being her plaything....this was her last R%B top 40 hit but she went out with a bang making #8 in March 1988.. still like centipede better....
Rebbie Jackson, she is such a talent. I wish that she could have received more exposure for her entertainment career. Sad how some just get left behine. Jermaine Jackson is another one, I think that he has the best voice out of all of the Jackson. Janet is my favorite. Michael is the bomb.
Rebbies voice has the most range and power, way more than Jermaines, he can sing but Rebbie and Michael have more range and personality in their singing voices
@utterbullspit Ya thats the sad thing about Rebbie, so many posssibilites. I think she should've been on Michael and Janets level, but just as a singer, she had the voice but family and religion came first for her. Ya MJ, Janet, and Rebbie are 3 of my favorite voices on the planet. Janet's voice is underrated, I dont think most people who arent familiar with her wok know what her voice is capable of. It's not as strong as Rebbie, but it's stronger than most people know.
yea,i agree with u... i think tht Jackie,Jermaine,Michael and Rebbie were the[most]musically gifted out of all of them...but Rebbie ddnt wanna stay n the game 4 2 long...otherwise she wud have been BIG...
this was Ms. Rebbie second biggest HIT on the chart after 1984's Centipede.. this song hit # 8 on the R&B chart.
