The Jets, based out of Minneapolis, emigrated to the US from Tonga, and began performing in the 70's. A co-ed band in the mold of the Sylvers, the Jets' early success surely had people thinking they would be the next Sylvers or Jacksons or, because of their Mormon upbringing, the Osmonds.
And, no, Jet is not their family name. It's actually Wolfgramm. Elizabeth Wolfgramm was 13 when she recorded the vocals for their 2nd single, "Crush on You":
Eddie Wolfgramm spun off from the family group to form Boys Club, which had a 1-hit wonder with "I Remember Holding You" in 1988, but is currently back with the Jets.
