There's been a tonne of questions from people asking who the little guy is on the congas - it is in fact young Randy Jackson.. What a little cutie he was!!

[taylors]

The WHOLE FAMILY just ridiculously talented

[mariechhandover]

Michael got back in line without missing the beat!

[MJJDangerous]

Every single one of them were on point.

[m.w.]

Mike was a superstar before he was a SUPERSTAR.

They had the BEST AFROS in the music industry

[JEMUSIK]

MJ was always ahead of his time. Such a genius.

It’s amazing how Randy dances flawlessly during their performances. He never missed a beat on the drums and still kept up with the choreography that was iconic. Gon’ Randy 💙

[TyGee]

How he got back in line was crazy perfection. ❤😂

[evolv.e]

The way he just slid in line with his brothers in sync and in step 🤖 💯

[falcons]

Everyone commenting on Michael alone, but here I am thinking what a beast Jermaine was shredding complex bass riffs while dancing on point with his brothers!! 🔥🔥🔥

[kevseb]

Even little little Randy is keeping step with his older brothers. Love this footage. 😊😊😊😊😊

I've Yet To See Anyone Do The Robot Better Than Michael Jackson

[donnafrazier-byrd]

The way Mike slides in line with his brother’s was flawless!

[Eric-kkbn]

The way he gets back in line and starts the coordinated walk, u can tell Joe had them practice non stop day & nite!!!

[SimlikeitHot]

That beat was straight up bangin' in 1974!

[ruthieworldtravels]

50 years ago, WOW! The biggest thing to happen in the 70’s!

[shaaronie]

Michael was the definitive Robot dancer. Nobody did it better than him!

[hollyardis]

When they did this with Cher in 1975, believe it or not, it was even better. This here was '74 and it had just come out and was wildly popular. The Jackson 5 were compared to The Osmonds when they both began getting popular. It was like Pop meets Soul. The Osmonds were great singers and had good music with Donny as front guy. Still, it was obvious there was no contest. Song after song, new dancing routines with Michael as front man, they could do no wrong. They were the superstars of their time and the absolute performers that no one could touch. RIP Michael...gone from us way too soon.
