“Centipede”

REBBIE JACKSON’S “CENTIPEDE” WILL MAKE YOU SHUDDER

We wondered what happened to Rebbie Jackson’s singing career. The oldest Jackson sibling married young and at 34 recorded “Centipede,” which was her first video in 1984. Our relentless colleague, Stephen Saban at World of Wonder dug up this early sample of her work, which actually had moderate success. After three more albums, Rebbie retired from music in 1998. She has a Jackson voice, but this particular song is unnerving, to put it mildly.
