La Toya Jackson

A very welcome re-press for this classic album, which of course was the very first release on Cherry Red Records new imprint - Cherry Pop, committed to rediscovering the best 80's pop albums and artists.

 When one hears the name La Toya Jackson all sorts of thoughts spring to mind. Her nude appearances in Playboy, shopping with exotic snakes draped around her shoulders, tell-all books, psychic hotlines and all manner of bizarre stories reported in the tabloid newspapers of the late 80s and early 90s. Scandal and intrigue have always surrounded La Toya, from her radical transformation from the Jackson's shy sister into a worldwide sex symbol, to her recent re-emergence as a key supporter of her brother Michael during his 2005 trial.

 The last thing that probably springs into most people's minds is her music. There's a lot more to Grammy Award winning La Toya than just her body-she has a lot of soul too. In this, her 1980 debut album, listen out for Night Time Lover, produced by her brother Michael; the exquisite My Love Has Passed You By, featuring Stevie Wonder on harmonica; Are You Ready, written by Billy Ocean; and the lead single If You Feel The Funk.

 This is the first, ever British release of La Toya Jackson's self titled album, over 25 years after it was first released in America and Europe in 1980. Includes contributions from her brother Michael, sister Janet, Stevie Wonder and Billy Ocean.
