I have a real soft spot for Can You Remember too. :wub:ooooooooooooooo Can You Remember !! Thanks for mentioning that one!!!:wub: I love all those but I got stuck at this one :wub:
Can You Remember:
&nbsp

sad but true. Some of that stuff I don't see how anyone can listen to it without cringing, I mean it sounds worse than noise, its more like noise pollution!unk:
OMgoodness MJstarlight!!! That is a new one for me!! WHERE did you find it and WHY did I never hear it as a kid
I love that song!!!For someone who didn't want to do the variety show you wouldn't know it because he looks like he's having a grand old time up there. Such a young superstar! I have a feeling that even though he didn't want to do the shows, once he got on stage he gave it everything and that is clear in the video you just posted. I love it...
This is another one I love from the variety show. I love the performance, the talking at the end and then he introduces his sisters. ADORABLE!! He looks about 6 feet tall with those long legs. I'm in looooove! :heart:

I dunno how to embed the videos like you guys did above.
I was out earlier today and was thinking about this conversation we're having. I went to visit my parents and pulled out some of my dad's old records. I was grooving! I miss the scratchyness of records everyone is so concerned about clear quality but there is something about putting a needle on a record and hearing that scratchy sound that I miss.
I enjoyed these posts very much!! And thanks for that link HHMJJ!!I have a real soft spot for Can You Remember too. :wub:
I'll always remember it as the first J5 song I heard apart from their first four #1's. There's something so extra nostagic about it like Mike's 'Got To Be There'.
MySerenity5, thanks for pointing out Ain't nothing like the real thing!
I like Marvin Gaye/Tammi Terrell's original version...and the Osmonds' cover. But the J5 are the ones who really do it for me. :wub:
Thanks for the embed HHMJJ

Actually, 'I Wanna Be Where You Are' is a Michael Jackson solo.
Some of my fave J5 songs are:
Can You Remember
Their cover of The Delfonics' Ready or Not (Here I Come)
Never Can Say Goodbye
The Wall
Just Because I Love You
To Know
LTTW
Darling Dear of course.
Don't Say Goodbye Again
Heaps more where that came from.
Here's another one I love
OMG! One of my ultimate favourite J5 songs. Keep in mind I have a lot..... =p
Also, I've noticed that I totally enjoy Michael's renditions/covers of a song better than other artists even Stevie Wonder. Okay, just my opinion... Anyone who loves Stevie, dont get mad.
I've also enjoyed 'In our small way.' I always find that it's a pre-cursor to WATW and HTW. Hahaha! Also, If'n I was God is beautiful. Love is Here and Now You're Gone made me cry..... I hear a symphony which in my opinion he sang better than Diana Ross. Also, I've been digging Doggin Around which was Mike's cover of Jackie Wilson. It's so soulful!!!!!!! I love it! I'll be coming back later.... I have a lot of J5 record and early Mike solo records that I love.
oh yeh
I'd forgotten about that lil factor ... :no_mention: oh well, I'm sure we can 'cheat' on such a small technical detail for the sake of remniscing eh :lol: but thanks Carina because that totally slipped my mind too! so true :wub:
so true too :yes: and I LOVE myself some Stevie music and he is definitely as Michael put it, a "musical prophet".Also, I've noticed that I totally enjoy Michael's renditions/covers of a song better than other artists even Stevie Wonder. Okay, just my opinion... Anyone who loves Stevie, dont get mad.

. Please take a listen ... with eyes closed is best because its a "look within" song, called Reach In, another Michael/Jermaine change-off and Jerm's voice is probably at its best imho and Michael's is so crisp, clear and powerful.
^^ I like it! Never heard it before, so thank you for posting it!
There was sooo much music. I guess that happens when you've been recording since you were 10 years old!
unk:i LOVE this song and your right lil mike blew diana outta the water with this one
Skywriter is another one of my favourites
&ampnbsp
&ampnbsp
and corner of the sky :boohoo:
i just love the whole 'skywriter' album :wub:
ooooooh!! Thanks for posting this clip!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :wub: :wub: :wub:
I'm with you guys about J5 covers - they always did it better then original singers. "Standing in th shadows of love" comes to mind - Mike and Jerm just give shivers down my spine with this one! And "Aint' no sunshine"!!! Much better then original, and all later covers by other artists just suck!
OH Yesss!! come one come all to the Jackson Five Funk Revisited thread!Can I join this J5's lovers club?
Another hidden treasure is "Can I see you in the morning" Very unsual song. I don't know if it's original or cover.
You posted some AWESOME favorites of mine! but the J5's is better http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ayIp...29EEED80&playnext=1&playnext_from=PL&index=28Thanks so much for posting this song!! The whole time I was listening to it I was realizing that with so many unheard songs by the Jackson 5, it means Michael literally did spend his whole entire childhood working
