The Jets was a band from Pekin, Illinois, consisting of Mike Isenberg, Graham Walker, Greg Clemons, Greg Wilson, and Randy Kohtz. They were together from 1972 to 1980, and a small amount of their recordings are still available on Twin/Tone Records. After a few months together Greg Clemons and Randy Kohtz left the band and were replaced by bassist Thomas Walker who was with the band until early 1974. Gregg Clemons returned on bass. During this version of the band The Jets released the single "Be For Me" backed by "I Play For You". The record charted at No. 13 but the band crash-landed shortly after its release. The band reformed in Madison, Wisconsin in 1976 with the past lineup of Mike Isenberg, Graham Walker, Thomas Walker, and Greg Wilson. This lineup went on to record on the Twin/Tone label, releasing the single "Lover Boy" backed with "Paper Girl". Both songs also appeared on the Twin Tone album Big Hits of the Midwest Volume III. The band broke up in early 1980.
The Jets are an American family band from Minneapolis, Minnesota, composed of brothers and sisters who specialize in pop, R&B, and dance music, particularly Latin freestyle.
The group officially formed in 1985 and the original lineup fizzled out by 1990. Several family members remained throughout the 1990s and unofficially revived the group in the mid-to-late 1990s as a gospel outfit including most of the original members.
Various record companies have released collections of songs from the group's popular period, while the modern incarnation of the group continues to perform at various small venues, primarily casinos and private corporate functions.
The original band consisted of the eight oldest children of Maikolo "Mike" and Vaké Wolfgramm, who were originally from the South Pacific island kingdom of Tonga. The family has 17 children, 15 by birth and two, Eddie and Eugene, by adoption. They are members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (Mormons).

The record debuted at No. 114 on the Billboard 200 chart and was certified Gold by the RIAA on 23 July 1998. "Days Like These", written by the former band leader for The Unforgiven, Steve Jones, received airplay on FM radio and made it to No. 2 on the American Hot Mainstream Rock Tracks chart.
Then & Now was panned by music critics.
Tom Demalon of Allmusic, in his one-and-a-half-star review, accused Asia of inability to duplicate the success of their debut album and called the new songs "flaccid musically and insipid lyrically". But at the same time, the critic made special mention of the anthemic "Days Like These", describing it as matching the band's strong early material.Entertainment Weekly's Greg Sandow, rating Then & Now a "C", stated that the old songs such as "Heat of the Moment" and "Don't Cry" "are empty symphonic rock, full of strings and predictable melodic hooks", while the new songs "aren't as lush", "hit the beat a little harder, but in essence [they're] just as bland".
Standing there I've been watching you
All alone your face says it all
Desperately I need to talk to you
Can you see me will you answer my call
Am I in love or is it the magic of tonight

And will it be right tomorrow morning
Just one kiss remember this
And it will stay with you forever
