INFORMATION OF "I WANNA BE WHERE YOU ARE" :

“I Wanna Be Where You Are” is a song written by Arthur “T-Boy” Ross and Leon Ware for Michael Jackson, who took the song to number 7 in Cash Box and number 16 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. It also reached number 2 on the U.S. R&B singles chart in 1972.

His third straight Top 10 Pop hit during his early solo career with Motown.

It was also the first collaboration between Ware and Ross, the younger brother of legendary superstar Diana Ross.

"I WANNA BE WHERE YOU ARE" COVERS & SAMPLE :

While Willie Hutch's version opened his 1973 album Fully Exposed, Zulema had a dance hit with a disco version of the tune in 1974, featured on her RCA debut album Zulema (1975).

In 1976 Marvin Gaye's cover was more of an instrumental excerpt for him singing the title and dedicating the track to his then-girlfriend Janis Hunter and his children Marvin III (referred as "little Marvin" on the record), Nona and Frankie Christian.

The alternate instrumental, later issued on a 2003 deluxe edition re-release of the I Want You album, was a funk-styled instrumental that featured Gaye's background vocals harmonizing throughout the track, which was also produced by Ware. In 1993 Weaver's cover followed, and then the Fugees' version was completely different save for the choruses sung by Lauryn Hill.

Juelz Santana sampled the song on two tracks, "Did U Miss Me pts.1 & 2", on the DJ Green Lantern mixtape Alive on Arrival.

What a great way Michael chose to sing this with his adult voice!

[aidanfox]

Even in his adult voice Michael sings the song even better.

[lateefomidiji]

You can tell Michael spent a lot of time mastering this song with his adult voice, compared to when he sang it live in Japan around the time his voice first cracked.

[calebwebb]

Love finding videos of him singing the older songs as an adult

[splatter]

All time favorite song by them. Mike vocals on the original and lyrics for a kid was crazy. Rip

[BuddyKatz]

i wish michael played aliitle bit of this in his later years

[whatzupwitu]

Am I the only one who loves this song? ❤️

[Zeakg]

The live breakdown of this song was a Head of its time... Sounds like something still in 2019.

[bobbus_]

This song is underrated. One of my all time favourites.

[brianslaw]

Just think, in our lifetimes, we were served by the Great Michael Jackson... What an honor.

RIP, MJ 👑🎤🙏🏽

[janbriggs]

I learned Vocal Harmony from the Supremes and the Jackson Five.. but you must admit ....the Vocal Harmony of the Jacksons sound so sweet and pure..
We love y'all.
Legendary!

[melindamercier]

I was just listening to the Got To Be There album and was like, man, I wanna hear him sing this as an adult. So glad we have video of this to come back to!

[sarge]

I love is the only artist that I can think of who's voice actually sounds the same rather its them singing live in on the studio recorded filters needed...no automatic of that is needed

[JBM]

Wow... A mastered disco recording of this... Damn I wish this happened.

[Altamira_]

One of the most beautiful song ever. Give me tears to ear and see this beautiful version, Wish it was longer

[RockWithYu]

(Sigh). I SO REGRET never seeing the J5/Jacksons pre-'Thriller.' I LOVE the J5 stuff and would've enjoyed hearing more than the three-song medley and 'I'll Be There' snippet performed during the 'Triumph' and subsequent tours. So glad folks are uploading 'Destiny' tour footage to YT!

[patratate]

I was teased I needed more of that song in the adult voice ❤️❤️❤️

[patratate]

Wanted to hear more of that song it was beautiful in his grown-up voice ❤❤❤

[mmurph]

This was the last time he sung this song.
