Herb Alpert Featuring Janet Jackson With Lisa Keith - Diamonds / Making Love In The Rain (1987 / A&M)

Following on from my previous post many of you hawk-eyed Janet aficionado's may have noted one omission that was released between "Let's Wait Awhile" & "The Pleasure Principle"...

"Diamonds".

Released on the 14th March 1987 "Diamonds" was the 2nd release from Herb Alpert's "Keep Your Eye On Me" album. It followed the title track into the UK top 30 hitting a peak of 27. The track was a much bigger hit in the US where it peaked at number 5 on the Billboard Hot 100 and number 1 on the US Dance / Club Charts.

"Making Love In The Rain" was the third and final single from the same album and features Lisa Keith on main vocal with Janet on backing. The track failed to crack the top 40 in the UK and was a moderate hit reaching number 35 on the Billboard 100.

Final track "Keep Your Eye On Me" was released as the lead single from the album and was the most successful of the three released in the UK hitting the Top 10 on release.

All three tracks were produced by Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis, long time collaborators with Miss Jackson.

Herb also featured on the "Cool Summer Mixes" of Janet's "Nasty" and is a co-founder of A&M Records - Janet's first label.
