# Precious Moments

Precious Moments è l'ottavo album da solista del cantante statunitense Jermaine Jackson e il secondo per la Arista, pubblicato nel 1986.

## Accoglienza

Il singolo I Think It's Love entrò nelle classifiche pop e R&B negli Stati Uniti, così come Do You Remember Me?, e Lonely Won't Leave Me Alone e Words into Action, che si piazzarono tra i primi 40 posti nelle classifiche in Belgio.

Il brano If You Say My Eyes Are Beautiful, un duetto con Whitney Houston, non uscì mai come singolo ma fu trasmesso molto dalle radio e fu incluso nella raccolta del 2000 della Houston Whitney: The Greatest Hits.

Words into Action fu anche inserita nella colonna sonora del film del 1986 About Last Night.
