     I heard on the radio the other day, that Jermaine Jackson's
latest - "Am I Dreaming"(?) - with his brother Michael will never be 
released as a single because of problems with Columbia(?), Michael's
label.  Can this be true?  Wouldn't those involved have settled such
problems before recording and releasing the album?  Or could this, perhaps,
be an attempt to get more people to buy Jermaine's album?

Another Steel Breeze fan!

It has?  When was it released?  I haven't seen the single in any stores
in Boston or New York, and I last heard that there were contract
negotiation problems in the single's release.  It is played on a number
of stations, though, Boston and New York.
