Jermaine Jackson – “Do What You Do” (1984)
Tonight’s Classix at Nite Video of the Night is one of the smoothest ballads of the ’80s — Jermaine Jackson’s “Do What You Do.”
Released in 1984 on his self-titled album (Jermaine Jackson), the song was written by Larry DiTommaso and Ralph Dino and produced by Jermaine himself. It became a crossover success, peaking at No. 13 on the Billboard Hot 100, No. 14 on the R&B chart, and No. 1 on the Adult Contemporary chart.
The cinematic music video, directed by Bob Giraldi, features supermodel Iman as Jermaine’s love interest and plays like a short romantic film — elegant, mysterious, and unforgettable.
Fun fact: The video’s theme was inspired by The Godfather, and Jermaine’s smooth delivery made this song one of his signature solo moments after his Jackson 5 years.

About the song:
“Do What You Do” is about longing, communication, and the changes love goes through. When Jermaine sings, ‘Why don’t you do what you do, when you did what you did to me,’ it’s a gentle plea for reconnection — a soulful grown-folks moment that still resonates today.
