Born on her sister Rebbie's 6th birthday on May 29, 1956, in Gary, Indiana, La Toya Jackson is the fifth of nine children born to Joseph Jackson and Katherine Jackson and the middle female child between Rebbie and Janet. Growing up, La Toya was a shy homeperson. After her mother became a member of the Jehovah's Witnesses in 1965, La Toya, along with the rest of her siblings followed, but most of the children are no longer associated with Jehovah's Witnesses. She would spend some of her time (alongside her mother) preaching door-to-door. "Every morning, Michael and I witnessed, knocking on doors around Los Angeles, spreading the word of Jehovah." By 1972, at sixteen, La Toya joined her brothers in the spotlight with a tap dancing routine when her father arranged for them to perform shows in Las Vegas, among other cities. Jackson aspired to be an attorney specializing in business law. She attended college for a short time before her father insisted that she pursue a career in show business like the rest of the family.
La Toya Jackson is the self-titled debut album from American singer La Toya Jackson. It was released in 1980 in America and mainland Europe. The album is most known for "Night Time Lover", a track produced by La Toya's brother Michael Jackson, who provides background vocals on the refrain. The album peaked at #116 on the Billboard 200, #26 on the Billboard R&B charts, and #178 in the UK. It spawned two singles: "If You Feel the Funk" and "Night Time Lover".
Album information
In order to distinguish herself from her famous brothers, The Jacksons, La Toya only wanted her first name on the album. "I begged just to have it 'La Toya'. But my father said, 'It's your last name. You got to use it.' But I wanted to see what I could do as an individual."
The album was re-issued on CD in Japan in 1992. A successful petition was gathered by her fans at ChurchofLaToya.com to persuade the label, Cherry Pop, to re-release her debut album on CD for the first time in the UK. It was re-released on May 22, 2006.
"Feels Like Love" is a 2014 song by American singer-songwriter La Toya Jackson.
Song information
"Feels Like Love" is an uptempo dance-pop number in the key of B♭ minor. The song is about the power of music and dance to lower one's inhibitions. In the song's chorus Jackson asserts that music "feels like love" and that it "takes my body and I lose control". The lyrics describe a night spent dancing because music "gets me high when I'm feeling low."
The song was produced by Brandon Howard, son of Jackson family friend and singer Miki Howard. Jackson recorded the song while she was planning her wedding to Phillips. In an interview she explained that it put wedge in their relationship. At first, Jackson didn't want to record the song, "I was so against doing this song." Jackson explained that after making changes, the record "turn[ed] out differently. And I like it very much."
The song is Jackson's first single in almost exactly five years, since 2009's "Home". It was released as a digital download by online music retailers on July 21, 2014.
La Toya (also known as You're Gonna Get Rocked!) is the fifth studio album by American singer La Toya Jackson released on October 25, 1988 by RCA. While the cover and box states the album's name as La Toya, the actual disc and cassette tape state the name as You're Gonna Get Rocked!. Therefore, the album is interchangeably referred to by both names.
The album was re-released as an expanded 2-CD set under the name You're Gonna Get Rocked! by Cherry Pop Records in December 2013.
Album information
La Toya was the first album Jackson released since terminating father Joe Jackson as her manager and signing with a new label, RCA. Jackson's musical goal was to evolve her teen pop sound to something more substantial. "I know what I wanted to do, I always wanted a street sound. Michael kept saying 'Do it, move away, do your own sound.' That's why I moved to New York, to stop living in a fantasy world, get out of my sheltered life. As far as I'm concerned, it's my first album."
"Feels Like Love" is a song written and recorded by American country music artist Vince Gill. It was released in May 2000 as the second single from the album Let's Make Sure We Kiss Goodbye. The song reached number 6 on the BillboardHot Country Singles & Tracks chart and peaked at number 13 on the Canadian RPM Country Tracks chart.
Content
The song is an anthem for anyone who has found love sweeter the second time around.
Critical reception
Deborah Evans Price, of Billboard magazine reviewed the song favorably, saying that it has a "buoyant, uplifting lyric" and goes on to say that the production "gives the sprightly melody plenty of room to breathe."
Music video
The music video was directed by Thom Oliphant and premiered in mid-2000.
Chart performance
"Feels Like Love" debuted at number 62 on the U.S. Billboard Hot Country Singles & Tracks for the week of May 20, 2000.
