Those brothers put in a lot of hard work. Every song has a dance routine and Jermaine and Tito performing background vocals, dancing, and playing their instruments perfectly. I have the utmost respect for those brothers because that's just pure talent.

You have to appreciate how great of a vocalist this guy was. He and Stevie Wonder were on another damn level.

[@borisblvd5354]

After the 1:10 mark, I was just thinking of how he descends from the word "me" in a very Stevie Wonder-ish ad lib style..You know how Stevie likes to do these spontanious melodic detours when playing live...The bass line in this song is also very cool.

[@ngakipatu7581]

Rob, bless you!

[@LYBism]

I don't think there will every be a generation that won't know him, but what's sad is, they won't know THIS Michael Jackson. Michael was almost 11 years-old when I was born. There has NEVER been a time in my life when I wasn't his fan. I think I heard him in the womb and came out Mike-ma-tized. I thank God I knew him, but even still, with me being 11 years young than him, I STILL missed some great times. Well, maybe I didn't miss them; I just don't remember them. OH, but I do remember when I was 5 years-old, my mother took me to the Houston Livestock and Rodeo at the Astrodome to see the Jackson 5 (because I begged her). I DO remember that!

[@leahartlee29]

Michael was 5 years older than me and a 7 years older than my brother. When MJ died, my brother called me up crying. MJ and the Jackson 5 were a HUGE part of our childhood. We used to beg our parents to let us stay up late and watch them on the late shows, then see their cartoons in the morning. We loved them so much! Even our young parents did. My mom named my third and youngest brother Ben because she was pregnant with him in 1972, when she used to listen to and sing the song Ben to her tummy. AWW! Not to mention them many years our dancing family danced to his songs in clubs, at weddings, etc. THANK You Michael and the Jackson 5. You were an inspiration, and such sweet young men. SO much talent! @@LYBism

[@tsukinousagi3174]

Yes also, it was REALLY RARE that they would let them do it live. In this era, they would almost always do it with playback. They would tell Michael and his brother where they would be, and how they would move... it's incredible to find real lives for shows like this. There is only a few. Michael was magic right ? They were all so good.

[@22jaydogg]

Clara Kirkendoll at his age at that time. His range and clarity . And understanding performance of being the lead was just phenomenal !

I think it's only live until the "ooh yea" at 2:00. the "oooh baby baby" is allready tape

[@PeachWNK]

If it wasn’t live after 2 mins then he wouldn’t have had to adjust the mic :)

[@williamking595]

@@Jaburu It's live. Michael's voice was a lot stronger live than on playback during this era. They likely tuned down his vocals on record to match better with his brothers. Check out all the other live performances like the one for "going back to Indiana". You'll see just how overpowering his voice is when live.

[@COBStudios]

Everyone talks about "it gotta be hard for jermaine to sing and play bass". But what about tito? Tito was playing multiple fast chords and riffs while doing those dances. Tito doesn't get the praise he deserves for helping with making the music sound so beautiful along with Jermaine and Randy

[@fostermac7170]

+Matt Write Absolutely ACCOMPLISHED artists. Don't let anybody confuse that fact.

[@youwatch2muchtv]

Tito really sucks

[@PoloBoyPrince]

Tito doesn't really sing or dance tho

[@fostermac7170]

PoloBoyPrince Yea, he sings. They sing (in order of ability from better to worse): Rebbie, Michael, Jermaine, Tito, Jackie, Randy, Janet. Marlon and La Toya are tied for worst. I list Tito before Jackie because Tito has more versatilty in that he can range from bass/baritone to upper register tenor, whereas Jackie's abilities are confined to the mid to upper registers. In reading between the lines on the Jackson show that feature his kids (3T), they indicate that he is shy and essentially "hides" behind the guitar. That may be why he has led only a couple of released songs until his recently released single, but you can hear his bass tones all over their background singing. Cant give u any info on dancing, lol.

[@lawrenceworrell8474]

DO YALL HEAR JERMAINE KILLING THAT BASS ?!!!! people forget that Jackson 5 is a multi-talented family group that just happen to have a dynamic larger than life lead singer....listen to those harmonies :)!

[@williambuehl8076]

No doubt all of The Jackson Five had talent, but let's be honest, the other four put together were not a patch on Michael. They all built their careers on him.

[@lawrenceworrell8474]

Bill B Correction: they all built careers TOGETHER...some succeeded & some didn't..that's the nature of the biz sometimes so thank God that each Jackson member had importance in the unit..Jackson 5 wasn't in competition with each other...MJ & Jermaine were the main lead singers in the unit so their solo success was inevitable especially MJ's because he was thee ultimate lead.....but either way, it all starts with the Jackson 5...6 brothers who rehearsed, performed, lived, loved & worked together for damn near 20 years before "Thriller"

[@peggystoutemorin4529]

lawrence worrell Very well said. They ALL had talent. And here is the sad reality: Yes, Mike left a larger-than-life legacy, but he is gone; his brothers remain. Outsized fame has its price. What if they had achieved what Michael did as a solo artist? Would they still be around? Let's remember that with incredible fame comes that incredible monkey on your back. In any event, a phenomenally talented family. They ALL contributed to the legacy. Because of ALL of them we are sitting at our laptops, 40+ years later, enjoying them all over again on You Tube.

[@dontworry4831]

I have too many feelings and things to say about this song.... first thing, right from the jump at 0:13 Michael is letting you know you're in trouble and he's not playing around. He continues throughout the performance. This is one of the best songs I've ever heard. I could listen to the studio version all day, and this live rendition is simply electric. Every time I watch this, I try to picture how it might have felt to witness it live. Could you imagine watching this on TV as he's performing this in 70s? Or how about being in person at the show? He must have seemed alien, godlike or something else in the moment, cause this whole comment section still can't process it to this day! He was truly otherworldly. The only 🤴🏾of pop🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
