A listen to
Janet Jackson
's
Dream Street
brings to mind remembrances of the then-teenaged singer's appearances on
American Bandstand
, shyly answering questions from host
Dick Clark
, as well as her short stint as a regular on the syndicated series
Fame
. The first single,
"Don't Stand Another Chance,"
was a family affair, produced by brother
Marlon Jackson
with vocal ad-libs by
Michael Jackson
. It was a Top Ten
R&B
hit during the summer of 1984. The extended 12" mix rocks, showcasing outstanding synth work by
John Barnes
. Other standouts are the smeary Minneapolis
funk
cut
"Pretty Boy"
produced by
Jesse Johnson
, and both
"Hold Back the Tears"
and
"If It Takes All Night"
are prime examples of pleasing '80s
pop
