Rebbie began her solo career in 1984 with "Centipede", a song written and produced by her brother Michael Jackson. The song reached number 4 on the R&B charts and 24 on the POP Billboard Charts. After this good performance the album "Cenitpede" was released - four years after the first Jackson sister LaToya went solo. With reasonable chart placings it paved the way for Rebbie's second solo album titled "Reaction". "Reaction" did not perform as well and the singles released from it titled 'You Send the Rain Away' and 'Reaction' did not enter the charts.
