Jackson Five "Medley" Live on The Tonight Show 1974 Guest Host Bill Cosby (Upgrade)

This was the best unplugged acoustic version I've ever heard! The Jackson's medley was magic!

Michael Jackson teenager years are so underrated and overlook before the mega star he became...

[@jessejames1956]

He was a megastar in the 60's and 70's also. Bigger than The Beatles.

@@jessejames1956 he was a mega star in 4 decades, 60's, 70's, especially the decade of 80's, 90's. And if only 50 shows "THIS IS IT" was performed, then until 2020, he is no longer a mega star but bigger than that. Miss and love MJ❤

Back when the media weren't bloodthirsty animals. He couldn't have gotten away with that in the 80's when the tabloids were on steroids.

[@j.brown70]

Beautiful ❤️❤️❤️. FYI Killing Me Softly (I grew up on the Roberta Flack version) is not a romantic love song so no need for MJ to change “boy” to “girl” as a couple of the comments suggest. The song is a poetic story about someone going to hear a popular musician, and that the song he sang seemed to tell that person’s life story with such a level of depth and intimacy that it affected him. It’s One of my favorite songs 💕💕
