Fun Fact: Did you know Mindy Cohn from Facts of Life sang back up on a Michael Jackson song?

The ’80s were a very interesting and talented time… here’s the proof you need!  Remember the show “The Facts of Life?”  Remember the girl who played the role of Natalie?  Her real name is Mindy Cohn.  She brought a bit of Michael Jackson trivia to Marjorie Gubelmann’s Saturday tea dance party on Twitch!  Did you know she sang backup on the Michael Jackson song “P.Y.T. (Pretty Young Thing)?”  Mindy and Janet Jackson were both the back up singers on that song.  On the virtual dance party, she said, quote, “Me and Janet. And I’m the kids at the end, too. We went to listen to the record and Quincy Jones put us on the mic.”
