Rain, rain and more rain today in the city and here is a song that's been on my mind lately "Centipede" by
Rebbie Jackson. The eldest of the Jackson children the song was released in 1984 as the debut single from her first LP. The song was written and produced by her brother Michael in 1984 at the hight of
Thriller. It reached #4 on Billboard's R&B chart, and was certified gold. It was Rebbie's first and last single despite releasing more albums and a handful of singles. I discovered that singer
Martha Wash actually sings some of the lead adlibs and was never credited for it. Ironically, that is one my favorite parts of this song that brings it home with such power to this cool and soothing '80s mysterious song. Enjoy!
