Jackson Five - Forever Came Today (Carol Burnett Show, 1974)

[@MrNathan791]

I tell you these brothers dancing was like silk; so smooth.

[@KFordVideos]

I just want to take a moment to show not just amazement at his dance moves but also the fact that he didn't trip, stumble once over his mic's cord.

I cant stop listening to this song!! I've always, and I mean always have loved MJ, but I feel like my love for him has grown so much since becoming an adult. Its a daily need of mine to listen to MJ and J5. That kind of musical genius wont come to us again for a long time, if ever.

GOD DO WE MISS THIS MAN !!! You cannot practice, manufacture, purchase, steal or forcibly acquire this type of talent. I wonder if we knew at the time we were watching a man who was born to entertain. He is timeless, in any language in any era MJ rocks. My cousins and I had the fortune of seeing he and his brothers on the "Victory" tour at Comiskey Park, we sat near the front and could not believe what we were witnessing. Thank the Creator for the ability to enjoy the gift that was MJ and the J5 at their height !!!!

[@gloriawells2090]

I too was at that concert at Cominsky..It was unbelievable. Have loved the J5 since their inception Locally with Michael singing Big Boy. Even watched the J5❤ cartoon series every Saturday morning. Ahhhhhh those days were innocent and fun.

Also amazing that Tito was playing his guitar before he was able to actually pick it up and put in on (008).😁 Randy and Marlon sounded like Jermaine at least twice. 😆 Hey, just making jest of what artists and groups went through when they were to lip sync their songs.

After all of these years, what amazes me the most is their flawless choreography. I grew up in England listening to these kids and had the opportunity to see them in 1972 in London at age 15.

[@joehodges8459]

There has never been a group of brothers like the Jackson 5ive. So glad that when I was growing up back in the '70's their music was a big part of my life. Actually being in that era when they was making all of that wonderful music and appearing on Soul Train, BANDSTAND and all of the variety shows at that time; it all was happening in real time. YT has made it possible to look back and enjoy all of those great proformances. Today's music is just so useless for the most part. RIP MJ :)

Man I tell you, the Jackson 5ive was so special to me as a child growing up in the '70's. To see these 5 brothers doing their thing with such sharp moves was a thing to see. I had the pleasure of seeing them a couple of times live, and their performances was out of sight. They could never be duplicated. PERIOD.

[@otishugues9970]

Amazing version with a nice background!Micheal show again in this performance that he was the most stylish dancer ever!!!In my humble opinion,he was The GrandMaster.Younger generations now have more tatoos than magic moves.

My favorite MJ era was when he was with his brothers during the teen years. You can still hear Jermaine in there singing, even though he had got married and left the group by this performance.

[@2brickked2]

[@Tinkerbell2754]

"Forever Came Today " by the Jackson 5 is a wonderful song with amazing lyrics. It is hard to believe that when this performance took place I was at the tender age of seven! I feel so cheated because at that time I was so unaware of the message that the lyrics were conveying. I am so impressed. Michael as the lead singer voice and physical presence in this performance is powerful. So many unforgettable decades of outstanding performances and precious recorded music that deemed the Jackson 5 worthy of an induction into the Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame in 1997, and an induction as a solo artist for Michael Jackson the King of Pop in 2001. Michael I love you my angel more than you imagine!

Michael was the and still is the most complete singer and dancer to perform on stage. He was gold and he had that it factor, from a young age of 5 to an adult. He got better every yr. Those spin moves were incredible and right on sync with his music.I wonder if he ever realized how great he was. Perfection was what MJ stood for. Had to be just right for him to approve. He put in the time and it payed off in him becoming the best mega superstar ever period. He was one of a kind. There will never be another one like him. RIP no.1.
