The Jets - Christmas With The Jets (1986)

Eighties teenyboppers The Jets came from an extremely large family
(17 children overall) and were comprised of eight of the family's
brothers and sisters - Leroy, Eddie, Eugene, Haini, Rudy, Kathi,
Elizabeth, and Moana Wolfgramm (their parents originally emigrated
to the US from the South Pacific nation of Tonga, in 1965, but their
offspring were raised in Minneapolis). From 1986 though 1989, the
Jets enjoyed several dance-pop hits (tops being 'Crush On You' and
'You Got It All'), as well as several full-length albums, two of
which (their 1986 self-titled debut and 1987's 'Magic') obtained
gold and/or platinum certification.

But like all past bubblegum acts, The Jets' shelf life proved to be
fleeting, as the hits dried up shortly thereafter (the first member
to leave the group was Eugene, who split in 1988 to form Boys Club
with Joe Pasquale, going by the name Gene Hunt). Although little was
heard from The Jets during the early 90s, most of the group had
re-formed by the latter part of the decade as a more gospel-oriented
outfit, issuing such albums as 1997's "Love Will Lead The Way". By
the dawn of the 21st century, the other brothers and sisters of the
family who were too young to join in on the fun during the 80s had
formed their own group, imaginatively calle, The Jetts.

"Christmas With The Jets" from 1986 is a somewhat charming holiday
album by the Minneapolis family group. But they'd lost their
commercial clout some time back, and by now were beginning to sound
like one more faded teen troupe. As with most Christmas releases, if
you enjoy the genre you'll find room for one more.
