I’m nearly 63 now and nowhere near as mobile as I was in the 70s & 80s when I could really dance quite well. Today every time I hear and watch MJ or the Jackson’s ( Jackson 5 ) I just wanna get up and dance even now and THAT! is the what made them so special. Truly gifted performers which is why I’m truly blessed to have been able to enjoy them to the full during my lifetime.

remember when this aired. the video was replayed at nightclubs everyone was mesmerized at how tight the brothers choreography was jackie and marlon were on point with michael. when the 3 brothers move together as one unit it's like magic. back in the day nobody could touch them on the dance floor. There was talent like the Silvers who had smooth steps but the jackson brothers where just tight

The brothers together were the real deal!!!!

Michael Jackson was set for super stardom very early in his life. What an incredible performer

This is when they were at their finest! The whole family was super talented. I love this song! 🕺
I just saw Janet Jackson in concert.
She has a beautiful voice, and she is a phenomenal dancer. 💃
Happy Monday... thank you for sharing! 💖

It took the studio drummer 3 overdubs to play this beat ( meaning he played three different parts and they spliced together)! Enter Johnathon Sugarfoot Moffatt audition for the Jackson’s Reunion tour and when the brothers played this song they could not believe that he could play all parts at the same time in rehearsals! Sugar went on to tour with Michael for many years along with Madonna, Janet and many others!!!!

Even though it's not a live performance, I love this song and time! Probably one of the last times they performed together.🔥

That's one amazing microphone. It pics up Michaels voice whether his lips are moving, or not. Even when it's nowhere near his mouth!

I had the 8-track with that song and was obsessed with it for a few years. Had to be my first stereo in about 77 or 78 in elementary school!

From what I can tell one of the Jacksons is playing an ARP 3604P keyboard controller, companion to the ARP 2600 synth. Obviously only used as a prop here, since this performance is miming to the recording, but it still looks very heavy and awkward compared to later keytars!

[softyme]

That’s Randy who was the most versatile musical member and also co-wrote this song

[CoEviSessions]

This is for those who think that Quincy Jones was the Michael Jackson was Michael Jackson long before a Quincy Jones and was much stronger musically with his brothers!!!! Papa Joe's Boys!!!!
