About
Better-known as an actress at the time (she had played Penny on the sitcom <i>Good Times</i>), Janet Jackson was only 16 when she released her debut album. That infectious, youthful energy comes through both in her bubbly voice and the bouncy R&B-pop tunes. Several songs—including the kinetic opener, "Say You Do," and horn-driven single "Young Love"—were written and produced by soul vets Angela Winbush and René Moore, who provide a sleekly elegant, early '80s dance-floor vibe.
