Jermaine Jackson

Jermaine La Juane Jackson (born 11 December 1954 in Gary, Indiana, USA) is an American singer, and a member of the Jackson family. From 1964 to 1975, Jermaine was second vocalist after his brother Michael of The Jackson 5, and played bass guitar. In 1983 he rejoined the group, now known as The Jacksons. When I was young, I really liked his duet with Pia Zodara, "When the Rain Begins to Fall" (1984) as well his contribution to the Beverly Hills Cop II (1987) soundtrack, "All Revved Up", which was produced by Giorgio Moroder. In the last few years I have discovered and come to appreciate his solo albums, particularly those from the 1980s.

The photo with the full signature was purchased from the official Jacksons website in October 2021. The signed CD boxset I bought from the same site in July 2022. I bought the signed group photo at a Jacksons concert in Glasgow in July 2017.

Robert Pine

Robert Pine (born Granville Whitelaw Pine, 10 July 1941 in New York City, New York, USA) is an American actor who is best known as Sgt. Joseph Getraer in the television series CHiPs (1977–83).

I ordered the signed photo below in November 2014 but I only received it in April 2016, a wait of 17 months. I opened a PayPal dispute after two and a half months, closed it again after receiving a promise it would be sent within 2 weeks, and after that sent many more emails. I had given up on ever receiving the autograph I had paid for until it landed on my doormat out of the blue. Although I am very happy with the signed photo with dedication I cannot recommend ordering from the official website because of all the hassle I had to go through to receive it.
