When the Jackson 5 left Motown in 1975, middle brother Jermaine quit the group to pursue a solo career on the label. After a string of underwhelming releases, he called on Wonder to assist with his sixth album. The LP was coproduced by Wonder, who had writing and performance credits on three of its tracks, including the punchy funk of
‘Let’s Get Serious’, the title song. Wonder’s fingerprints are all over the track, from Jackson’s vocal inflections to the unmistakable sound of its co-writer’s backing vocals, drums, piano, guitar and synth.
