*TV One’s award-winning documentary series “Unsung” airs the untold story of 80s family band The Jets on Sunday night.
“Rising to success in the mid-80s, the hit teenage group The Jets put a surprising twist on the Minneapolis sound and drew inspiration from Prince. Comprised of five brothers and three sisters of Polynesian descent, the group took the R&B and Pop charts by storm with hits like “Crush on You,” “You Got it All,” and “Make it Real.” With so much of their success based on their youth appeal, the band fizzled from the spotlight by their early 20s. The group’s lead singer left the group after she was diagnosed with breast cancer at 21, and the other siblings gradually drifted apart,” the press release reads.

“Twenty-five years later, the family members are still making music, but have split into two bands due to personal differences. Despite the split, the members are still entertaining audiences with music that initially captured their fans hearts.”
Relive the journey with The Jets when “Unsung” airs March 17 at 9 p.m. ET/8C. In the meantime, scroll up and watch our exclusive clip via the video above.
