"Heart Don't Lie" is the third album released by singer La Toya Jackson. It is her most critically acclaimed and commercially successful album to date, peaking at #149 on the Billboard 200. The album includes a cover version of Prince's "Private Joy" and features a plethora of musical guests, including Shalamar's Howard Hewett and reggae-pop group Musical Youth on the title track, musicians from Kool & the Gang on several tracks throughout the album, and collaborations with her siblings, including Marlon, Janet, and Tito, who co-produced the track "Frustration".

Many consider this to be Jackson's finest musical effort, with Allmusic commenting "...a handful of guilty pleasures here that are, if not much else, very catchy, making this a wise investment for anyone curious about the music of the Jackson family "outcast.""

Jackson and Amir Bayyan, the producer of the album, wrote the song "Reggae Nights" for this album, which was not released on "Heart Don't Lie" but ended up being a Grammy-nominated single for Jimmy Cliff [http://www.vh1.com/artists/az/jackson_latoya/bio.jhtml] . She recorded the song herself for her 1991 album "No Relations".
