Unbelievable. she is 13 years old and singing very well. Leroy send more videos like this. Our hearts are filled with love when we hear the songs of your family. When this phase is over, I wish your family to return to the original line-up and cheer their fans around the world. The Jets is the best family band in history.
I used to listen to her voice as a young six or seven year old kid growing up in Monterey Park, Ca., in those Jets jams, and man, even now a a gown man, I get still butterflies hearing her voice. Beautiful is an understatement. 😊❤
Man, this song blows every modern song out of the water. They don't make music like this anymore. I hate the overprocessed, generic, talentless garbage that's out there today.
@@user-bi3di3rk4l that is because songs in the 80s told a story. A story of love, it wasn't just about being catchy. It was about the power of the story of love. An interesting tidbit is that when they heard the Jets song "Make it Real" they specifically wrote the Selena song "Dreaming about you" for Elizabeth to sing.
@@ramseschadtupang9686yes. I think there are like 17 of them. 15 biological. Only Eddie and Eugene were adopted. When they reunited for the 2010 reunion, they started clashing. Leroy, Haini, and Rudy wanted to go one direction while the girls plus Eddie wanted to go a different one as far as what direction to take the band if they were to continue with an actual full on reunion and eventual reunion album. It got so bad, their parents actually sided with the boys and encouraged them to sue the girls over ownership of the name and right to tour under that name so they did. About a decade later they finally “made up” when their father died, but from what I can tell it still isn’t the same cuz there’s still two separate bands of the Jets right now. So sad
My older cousin was almost obsessed with this band when they dropped. He and his sister were all about this band. They kinda influenced me to love them too I was born around this time so when I was in my K-1 age, it was the early 90s and they were already gone from the mainstream but just barely. The boy had a huge crush on Elizabeth he thought she was like 18-19 but truth is they're the same age (Both borh 1972). He was so into her, when he came across a light skinned polynesian gal he met in Harlem sometime later, he asked her out and they went out for 4 years, but she left NY to do some stuff in Samoa (She was Samoan and he knew the Jets were Tongan. Similar) for her church. He was heartbroken. He ultimately ended up with an awesome Puerto Rican girl who he had 3 kids with but that Samoan girl he always says was his first love, hugely thanks to the Jets. They'd always kick it to their music when they were dating. Slow dance and everything too. He still talks about her once in awhile lol. Anyway, honestly i thought Elizabeth was like 19 when she sang this. To know she was 13 is crazy. I didn't even know what they looked like until I was in my teens as well. All the sisters are beautiful, especially Elizabeth. I follow them on IG too. They're great.
I loved the Jets since early 80s.I was thirteen when this was recorded. I fell in love with Elizabeth. I'm sure like all the other guys my age .I never got to see them because, we were poor. I wouldn't change a thing ,it taught me to be thankful for the little things.
MAN. I LOVE THIS SONG. IT RELAXES MY MIND, BODY AND SOUL. IT MAKES ME FORGET MY SURROUNDINGS. A MILLION THANK YOU TO THE JETS FAMILY. TAKE CARE AND BE SAFE. ENJOY YOUR DAY TOGETHER.
I JUST READ HER AGE....UNBELIEVABLE..IM FLOORED...what a blessing to be so talented at such a young age, and it seems like she and the rest of the family handled being that talented very well.
You guys, The Jets are a staple in my life, I was only 10 years old when I fell in love with your music (I am now 45 years old) these days, music has changed... But one thing is for sure, all of your (the Jets music) is enlightening and makes me reminisce of the good old 80s. There is no other band like the Jets. Full of soul & brilliance
I've heard of the Jets when I was a kid in the 80's and of course, knew their music. But I'm just now learning about them. What a talented family. And I never knew how young they were. Kids and teens. I'm very impressed and I'm really into their music right now.
Thank god that Liz is around to hear that voice, I was 15 and was like damn she melts you when she sings back then. I thought she was older then me, turns out was younger lol.
I was in second year art college. I was listening to Tears For Fears, Kate Bush, Grace Jones, and all the art bands. And this song. I always knew this was a pantheon pop song. Beautifully constructed, arranged, performed and sung. It still resonates all these years later. The whole band sounds great here!
LeRoy… I got to meet you at a campground in the middle 90’s. You and your family put on a special free show at this tiny campground near Saint Joseph Michigan where you were staying. The family was approachable and so nice. Everyone was so talented. The Jets music never gets old.
Great band, and I wanted to point out that the young man drumming has a great feel. As a drummer I know it isn't easy for young people to lay down a solid, good feeling groove in such a slow ballad.
Mr.Wolfgramm, your group and your music is my go to Tunes when things get difficult. Thank you so much for the honesty in your music! Cheers to you all, please tell Liz and the entire group that David says thank you so much......🕊️
I've watched 1 of Moana's interview saying that they don't really like the ballads back then when they were at this young age because it's boring and they didn't know anything yet about love or breaking up etc. And it shows on Liz facial reaction and body movement. But her voice and how she performed the song, Wow so phenomenal. I so love this group ever since. The Jets are the best family band ever! Whatever happens, I will always be your ultimate supporter for a lifetime. Shoutout Sir Leroy! Ofa Atu 🤙
I remember that interview she said they told Lizzie to imagine her puppy died in order to get the propper angst. But whatever the inspiration, she tore that song up!!
In all honesty, there has never been a version of this song (by anyone) that isn't worthwhile. But I think the Jets' version here may be the best of all. I notice also that it's a little faster tempo here than on the version released as a single back in 86.
More like 12 years old during the time of their album release. Get the album or cd and you will see their ages. Moana was 11 years old and Kathy was 14.
Do what!!! Too Cool. I love this song!! Magic. What a Brilliant song. How old was she when it hit the market? I remember falling asleep to it when my mom would pick me up riding home late (night) finally feeling some comfort LOL. This band sang me to sleep a quite a few times. I’m finding myself listening to it now on late night drives home as a grown up just taking my mind off of everything.
Great post.. a while back your non blood keyboard player who did some live gigs with you had a channel with some great live performances he did with you in the early 90s.. I complimented him and he took out all your music for he wanted his original music to b the focus.. you were in the group at that time.. can you share or post some of those performances?
I remember that! I also sent him a nice comment (about the group mostly) Then the music and an unreleased album of theirs disappeared. I was like what the heck.
Me and Liz are the same age, so when this song first came out I used to pretend she was saying to me lol! You guys captivated me and my friends during our youth, and I just want to say thank you for giving us such great memories.
I brings back so many memories before I lost my innocence that when I kicked cold turkey 5 years ago and was withdrawing really bad I woke up sick and something in my soul said to put the jets on and I listened on repeat and went back in time it’s a spiritual experience to stop cold turkey and to actually be done with it I could even smell the smells of 86-87 it was really something I hope heaven is something like that i really do and I love your families music! And yes I am still clean !! 5 years on 9/1
She had such a mature, adult-sounding voice for only being 13!
She was a baby, but that voice....is one of the greatest voices I have ever heard!!!
My favorite Jets song!! I was 21 in 1986 and in the US Navy when this song came out!
Unbelievable. she is 13 years old and singing very well. Leroy send more videos like this. Our hearts are filled with love when we hear the songs of your family.

“The Jets are the best family band in history,” you said.......I say AMEN
I thought she was 12 when they recorded this song
Born in 73 and album released 85 but single 86 release, I guess?
@@johnstoutenburg7163 you're right about The Jets being The best Family Band and most Legendary.
@@lockandloadlikehell Wiki reads she was 12 when this was recorded.
@@davidrosemale3573 SLY AND THE FAMILY STONE! 🎷🎹💵💵💵
I used to listen to her voice as a young six or seven year old kid growing up in Monterey Park, Ca., in those Jets jams, and man, even now a a gown man, I get still butterflies hearing her voice. Beautiful is an understatement. 😊❤
No studio magic no out takes just perfection a family a band doing their thing. Not a note off and he blew the hell out of that horn!!
Just amazing!!

What a beautiful moment! It's very sad, not to see all of you together. Please resolve your differences, we miss all of you!
They're siblings, right?

@@alonzotanner1226 That explains everything. Thank you
What??? Only 13 years old she sounds AWESOME Love this more than the real video from 86. Peace and God bless you all from Saginaw Michigan Dontoons
This is a timeless treasure ❤
The jets one of my favorite Minneapolis groups, young Elizabeth singing wow beautiful voice.

Sax player and drummer to his left are samoan adopted by the family. All one love.
It’s amazing they were all so young. Beautiful group.

The Jets....lots of memories...so many years have passed.
Wow!! I cant believe she is 13 years old with that voice
one of the most underrated song ever! love it!!
I saw the Jets on a Disney Channel special back in my youth. I had the biggest crush on Elizabeth for months.
Wow!! Thanks for sharing this. Hi Liz!, If you're watching. :)
WOW! It was an awesome tune then and still awesome today. Beautiful voice.
I can't believe Liz was only 12 when she sang this song. God that voice is heaven-sent❤️🙏
Love EVERYTHING about this!
I can listen to their music over and over again
I can't she's 13 years old because she looks mature.
What a great singer💚
I JUST READ HER AGE....UNBELIEVABLE..IM FLOORED...what a blessing to be so talented at such a young age, and it seems like she and the rest of the family handled being that talented very well.
wow!! so many memories from the 80's! I was a teen in the 80s. thanks for sharing.
We love the Jets (Wolfgramm family)! Keep safe and God bless to your family. Thank you for this video upload.
saw you in 1988 for my 16th bday! LOVED it!

Thank you Wolfgram family for the music and memories! The Jets were my first concert ever! The most underrated musical dynasty !
Wow ... Didn't know she was only 13 ,so much poise ! Love the Jets ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Touching lyrics and melody. Very beautiful song i've ever heard.
Beautiful Elizabeth 🌹🌹😍😍

Thanks for sharing these vintage videos. Elizbeth's very mature, & soulful lead vocals were off the charts!
That was so BEAUTIFUL 😆
When you guys came out I was like 20 and I thought she was around my age, wild. She looks totally like a kid here. Talented Family💝
God gives a few such talent.
Thank god that Liz is around to hear that voice, I was 15 and was like damn she melts you when she sings back then. I thought she was older then me, turns out was younger lol.
13 years with such voice so good..inspired by the jacksons...very good job from the parents..
This must've been around 1985? Amazing voices and lovely melody!
I was in second year art college. I was listening to Tears For Fears, Kate Bush, Grace Jones, and all the art bands. And this song. I always knew this was a pantheon pop song. Beautifully constructed, arranged, performed and sung. It still resonates all these years later. The whole band sounds great here!
The golden voice Elizabeth Wolfgramm and only 13 👍🥰
Thanks for sharing your videos
Magic..God bless you all, from the Samoan fans
13 yrs old Wow She's SUPERSTAR

Elizabeth is awesome 😎
Liz already had that voice at 13. Amazing.
Love it!!!! what a privilege to see behind the scenes!!! So so good
badass song. i always knew this song as a kid and now im near 40 sounds amazing
Thank you for the music and inspirational song to our daily lives. It feeds my soul. This song will live forever
you guys made the 80's great. one of my favorite bands ever and i was crazy for Moana.
Definitely in my top 5 . I miss music like this. incredible voice.
Great band, and I wanted to point out that the young man drumming has a great feel. As a drummer I know it isn't easy for young people to lay down a solid, good feeling groove in such a slow ballad.

What an amazing voice....I really like that song... So meaningful

I remember that interview she said they told Lizzie to imagine her puppy died in order to get the propper angst. But whatever the inspiration, she tore that song up!!
I remember when this song came out I was 16 and I recorded it every time that I hear a the radio 📻 and I still got those cassette 🎶🎶😉😉
Fan since the beginning...49 now. Just bought both records recently. Like everyone I had a crush on Liz. :)
When the rehearsal version of a song is as good as or better than the recorded version, then you know you have a hit.
yeah, the audio isn't great but then again this is 1985 in a garage, so it really is quite incredible live
This was before the troubles when were just abandoned, no a family doing there thing.
No magic no studio. Just doing it well by practicing
The Jacksons of the South Pacific...❤❤❤❤❤❤
Omg !!!! Love love love !!!!
Elizabeth has a Magnificent singing voice.
Yessss!! 😁😁 love it!
Me and my wife's theme song..we're married for 31 yrs.- dec.22, 2021
So nice!
Eddie and Eugene were adopted but oddly enough bore striking physical similarities to the rest of the group who were all same set of bio parents
Oh my GOD!!! She was singing like that at 13!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks for sharing! Would like to see the 202+ version with the OG lineup. It will happen.
Absolutely awesome
In all honesty, there has never been a version of this song (by anyone) that isn't worthwhile. But I think the Jets' version here may be the best of all. I notice also that it's a little faster tempo here than on the version released as a single back in 86.
Totally agree
One of a kind original, that no other than Elizabeth can reproduce! The best
Man, this brings back memories. The Jets were my very first concert in 1987.
More like 12 years old during the time of their album release. Get the album or cd and you will see their ages. Moana was 11 years old and Kathy was 14.
So nice!!!
She's so cute. All of them are so talented!
I fucking love this song! What a talented family! Love live the Jets!
I really love it!!!!!!
Wow-- so cool to see this "behind the scenes" rehearsal version. Sounds awesome. I loved this song when I was in high school.
Do what!!! Too Cool. I love this song!! Magic. What a Brilliant song. How old was she when it hit the market? I remember falling asleep to it when my mom would pick me up riding home late (night) finally feeling some comfort LOL. This band sang me to sleep a quite a few times.

Very cool- thanks for sharing!
Thank you for sharing this LeRoy!!
Rest in peace Eugene ✝️
OMG! I remember this song from my prom a zillon years ago!!! I danced with a girl who was a last minute date, her name was Lilian.
I wish they would just squash the beef, the kids need The Jets more than ever. What an amazing band.

My favorite group in the world. I sang this in 1991 at my talent show. I literally know every song 🎵 😊
Precious video.
I brings back so many memories before I lost my innocence that when I kicked cold turkey 5 years ago and was withdrawing really bad I woke up sick and something in my soul said to put the jets on and I listened on repeat and went back in time it’s a spiritual experience to stop cold turkey and to actually be done with it I could even smell the smells of 86-87 it was really something I hope heaven is something like that i really do and I love your families music!

I wish Eugene Hunt comes back to play with the band.
Really good
AWESOME!
These guys were too damn talented for their window close on them too soon.
Awesome👌
wow my fav song
C'est trés bon!
