My Name Is Jermaine is the third solo album from Jermaine Jackson and the first post-Jackson 5 album from him. It was released in 1976. The single released from this album was "Let's Be Young Tonight" which went to No. #19 on the Black Singles chart.
In 1975, The Jackson 5 released what would be their final album recorded for Motown, Moving Violation. Tired of his sons not being able to write their own songs, Joseph Jackson devised an exit strategy from Motown. Jermaine, however, remained with the label. With Jermaine gone, the youngest Jackson brother, Randy, joined the group and they renamed themselves The Jacksons and moved to Epic Records and scored more hits like "Enjoy Yourself", "Shake Your Body (Down to the Ground)" and "This Place Hotel".
For Jermaine's first album without his brothers, Berry Gordy hired a who's-who of Motown producers, including Hal Davis (who was instrumental in part of the brothers' success) and Jeffrey Bowen.
Executive Producer: Berry Gordy
Arrangers: Michael L. Smith, Greg Wright, Clay Drayton, Kenneth Lupper, William Bickelhaupt, Truman Thomas, Arthur G. Wright and William Goldstein
