What Jackson 5 songs would you put on an acapella album?

[R1chard]

Many of you will have heard of "The Stripped Mixes", which is a compilation released by Motown in 2009. It got me thinking - would there be demand for a similar project of simple acapella mixes? Imagine it was well done (none of this ten song nonsense that only lasts for 30 minutes, imagine it was a full 20 songs, covering all 10 J5 albums).

So what songs would you include? I'd like rarer stuff (plus I don't think "I Want You Back" or "ABC" would work very well.

There is such a compilation also from 2009, it's considered a MJ release thought most songs are J5 song,: https://www.discogs.com/Michael-Jackson-Pure-Michael-Motown-A-Cappella/master/2072965

This said, the question is still interesting, because I guess I would not necessarily go with the "best known" songs in J5 discography.

+ Teenage symphony
+ I can only give you love
+ If the shoes don't fit
+ Since I lost my baby
+ You can't hurry love (but I'm still thinking that this song is speed up like 5to10% which I find disturbing...)
+ Reach out I'll be there
+ Coming home

+ Big boy (based on 2014 One-Derful Studio Recording release)

Could we make it a tripple cd album including solo MJ? (some of the solo tracks were actually relabeled J5 songs)

I'd like to add these:

Too Young
When I come of age
You've Got a Friend
Who's looking for a lover
Label me love
Lucky Day
With a childs heart
Farewell My Summer Love
To Make my Father proud

@Fuzball : I agree with most of you choices (Where is this on from? "Label me love", unreleased or something I missed or forgot ? )

If you're going to single him out, then Jermaine & Jackie have solo albums during that time too, with the other brothers singing on some of the songs.

It's on the 2nd disc of "Come & Get It: Rare pearls"
