Flip Wilson and the Jackson 5 PART 2 RARE

The Jackson 5, at the Flip Wilson Show, singin : Never Can Say Goodbye

[@kgmckool]

People say that was the only one with talent,they lied.The whole group was good.

[@dcthomas8959]

No one ever said that, maybe about La Toya. 😂

[@EricThomas-xx4us]

G.O.A.T.S.

[@rene_mxo]

Jackie was the best one in the group at that point

[@klik21mj]

I'm old enough to remember seeing these original shows. But imagine not being able to see them for 30+ years, and then suddenly, here they all are again, to watch as much as I want! Thank God for KZbin and all the posters. (But I wish I could get a DVD with all these old shows.)

[@bigfinewomanful]

Me Too!! Flip had one of the first variety shows for a full hour hosted by a black man....and then had the hottest group of black brothers on the planet!! Every time they were on TV back in the 70s I was watching them. Loved me some Jackson Five........

[@sarithawashington1374]

They play too much lol. They joke with eachother and never miss a beat and YOU never notice lol. Jackie knew Mike was gonna startle Jermaine lol. Pay attention starting at 1:52; Jackie and Mike start smiling simultaneosly knowing what's going to happen...Jackie looks around at the other brothers to see if they are paying attention to eachother, Jackie looks for it to happen @ 2:13 but Mike doesn't do it until @2:33. Notice Jermaine is startled, Jackie smiles it off and Mike laughs while finishing the song. If you wanna catch them in the act Again, watch their performance on Soul Train during Jermaine's song "That's How Love Goes". During the breakdown, Michael does his Own funky steps and Jackie indiscreetly nodds to Marlon to look over at Mike, Marlon indiscreetly looks behind Jackie's back over at Michael, Michael is zoned out doing his Own thing but falls back into step to finish the song. They have even fought during performance (Michael slapped Marlon while making faces at eachother, Michael shoved Randy during the performance of ABC on the 30th Anniversary special; they were HILARIOUS but on Point!) GO WATCH!

[@valenciawallace1726]

Very typical in black groups to be innovative & do improvisational bits on stage! Especially those of us who sing in gospel groups...& surely those who as professionals.... break up the monotony of singing the same songs constantly! Love this performance! GREAT!

[@TheJazzplease]

I CANNOT believe I am just now witnessing this! I am dying. Jermain lifted one leg up he was so startled!

[@bossteamentertainment6836]

JazmineJermany I'm trying to find a live performance they did at a club (as The Jacksons) when Michael starts with Tito, he goes up to him during their performance and he makes Tito laugh, then Michael goes up to each brother and does something silly but they never break the performance. Go watch the video of "Enjoy Yourself" when they all where white suits. Jackie f's up the beginning of the performance & they all laugh it off. They were great lol

[@kwilcox1126]

Saritha Washington hahaha I saw it

[@MrAntiSellOut]

Saritha Washington I wonder how Papa Joe was feeling about those performances

[@goodmusicnet]

Jackie and Marlon were killin' it with the dance moves.

[@TheRhythmReview]

I watched this show the night it aired as a child with excitement. The J5 were the best!

[@benji7587]

Same here!

[@MrNathan791]

Yelp. I did to. It was a great; and the Jackson brothers was so natural in front of the camera with all the comedy routines they did with Flip Wilson. Such great memories watching his show every week.

[@Nina513]

Jackie and Marlon used to get down on the GOOD FOOT! I miss you, Michael!

[@hairypolack]

this looks like they used this as the model for the moves seen in the Jackson 5 cartoon

[@kevonlipscomb8732]

This such a great performance by the Jackson5 that there's absolutely no way that I can watch it just once! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

[@soulman25]

I love watching this video over and over again. Especially Marlon's spin moves at the beginning of the song, the choreography (they make it look so easy), the harmonies, and the way MJ jumped in Jermaine's face at the end was so funny. I probably wasn't born when this was performed, but I would have loved to go see them perform because if you wanted to see a real show, *vualah* this is it.

[@oskartgrouch8757]

****the way MJ jumped in Jermaine's face at the end was so funny. Glad that you mentioned this because I never noticed it before. It is very funny, and you can see Michael kind of grinning to himself about it.

[@sunrisesunset51]

Yup... Jackie and Mike were better natural dancers, but Marlon worked the hardest and he turned into a damn good dancer!

[@m3y0uk3y]

Mike's so good people think he's lip-syncing. No tot can be that good! Haha. This version is completely different from the recorded version. People need to educate themselves before talking shit.

[@PEEPS3325]

I just cry when I see this. I know I am not a family member but I am a member of a large fan base since age 5 and it hurts. It really really truly hurts. God Bless You Jackson family. Rest In Peace Beautiful Michael.

[@klik21mj]

I'm the same age as Michael and I fell in love with him in 1969! A significant part of my life is gone! Never can say goodbye...

[@chillywillie6283]

Whenever I’m feeling down I go on KZbin and watch some Jackson 5 from my childhood. I love the sweet memories they generate from back in the day.

[@sistagirllondon]

I watch these clips and reminisce about my childhood when my mother was alive. 🥺🥺🥺😢😢😢😢

[@almondbutter8997]

So blessed to have been blessed in this era of such great talent and great classic music 🎵🎶 I'm so excited to be watching this for the first time, my friends and I always had a big crush on Michael Jackson I'm sure a lot of females did still listening in "2022"

[@smileytheshiningstar]

Can't get enough of that move they did at 0:54-0:59. That was sweet.

[@keesh9886]

I love this I wish it wasn't so blurry cause I like going back and watch these appearances of the BEST group EVA❗❗ Tito and Michael the BEST.💖💙💜 He killing that 🎸

[@tvgator1]

Mike is DEFINITELY not lip synching this song. The backgrounds might be synched but NOT this lead. The J5 did do some lip synch performances, but ALOT of their gigs were live, cuz often you'd see mike grab the microphone and you'd hear the static when he did it. Plus, this version is totally different than the recorded one....

[@yogiman4293]

I was 8 years old when this song came out! Anytime the Jackson 5 appeared on TV everyone tuned in! You were excited and could not wait!

[@j1008h]

It was a wonderful time being raised as a child in the 60's and 70's. Black entertainers were developing their own style and brand of music. Motown's influence brought "our" music to main stream America and World Wide. It was very exciting to see groups like The Temps, The Dells, The Four Tops, and of course The Jackson 5. Their signiture was their "harmonizing" and "dance moves" that made them stand above the rest. And Micheal said it "he really did learn from the best in the business."

[@genevieveharris1120]

Yes it was

[@user-io7dy7cg1z]

Who still watching in November 2018? And Loving it as if it was yesterday when they came on the Scene. Me. I truly miss the real Michael Jackson! He was Loved So Much that we all accepted the white Clone Michael Jackson.

[@shawol.2008]

In December 😍💕😂

[@michaeljacksonisajawnaxk7112]

where did you get these they are so precious😎😁

[@3rd_eyeairbrush]

Tito was the truth dance sing an played the guitar without hitting Marlon during :54 gotta love great choreography

[@MrNathan791]

What show that was. As a child I watched this show that night it aired . Me and my brothers and little sister was so excited to see the Jackson 5ive. Back in the early 70's it seem like the J5 was on just about all of the variety shows and boy did we have such fun watching them. They was such great performers. That time was so magic to be a kid.

[@ShaunaDiawaku]

I know!!! I was born in '93 and I feel like I missed out on a lot. music from the 70's is what I call awesome music!! I don't know why they call some of the stuff that comes out today music lol. and anything and everything Michael Jackson is amazing. I wish I was born so I could experience more of him in his prime :(

[@blackbutterfly638]

Man!!!! Flip Wilson, I loved that show 😸😸😸😸.

[@richardwarren1718]

Jermaine's bass and the organ at 2:15 sounds like it jumped off of Issac Hayes' Walk On By.

[@SuJuGurl89]

I DON'T CARE! I WOULD BE ALL OVER THAT EVEN AT THAT AGE(talking about Michael of course)! Yes, I just said that. I am 18 and he is like, what, 13 or 14 here? I don't care. I would go to jail for that old soul in a boy's body :)

[@sharonanderson3373]

When the Jackson 5 became famous no one had ever seen a black group of brothers become so famous so quickly

[@williamross8010]

They were Fabulous grew up with the J5 this was in 1970😆

[@vincentparker8636]

I love you micheal (RIP)

[@Drawzi]

It's all about tito

[@marilynbergemann6808]

Never can say Good By” Michael. R. I.P

[@genevieveharris1120]

Priceless!!!! I loved me some Flip Wilson Show!!!

[@sistagirllondon]

ABSOLUTELY OUTSTANDING!! JACKSON FIVE FOREVER!! ❤❤❤

[@Pretty_Mess]

This is the first video I've seen where Marlon is taller than Michael; in all the other videos they were either the same height or Michael was taller.

[@Pretty_Mess]

This comment was 11 years ago, I was just a dumb little kid.🤣 The obvious answer is Marlon was going through puberty and had a growth spurt. Which made him taller than Michael (temporarily).

[@hamandeggs11]

Sometimes the desire to do something is better than talent.

[@yogurlterra95]

omg that is exactly how i feel. i sometimes wish i was born in 1975 rather than 1995.. music back then (ESPECIALLY michael jackson and the j5) is soooooo much better than this so called music today.

[@qurans.5344]

Terralyn Wilburn this was 1971

[@75andalive]

my favorite JACKSON 5 SONG !!

[@bonniemoore3461]

THAT WAS OUTTA SITE!!!!! RIGHT ON BROTHERS RIGHT ON !! BRINGING BACK ALL OF THOSE GOOD FEELINGS FROM BACK IN T HE DAY !!!!!

[@michael62389]

[@mjnmjd]

That adlib at 1:31 is what it's all about!! Great performance!!

[@antlive1231]

G.O.A.T aka KING OF POP aka MR.MUSIC R.I.P

[@MultiMm2009]

KZbin, thank you so much on my part too. I also stayed up all night just watching all the Michael Jackson videos there are. Very hard to not come back here. Never knew this before so I signed up just about a week ago.

[@chillywillie6283]

You had to be lucky to catch the Jackson 5 on television back in the early 1970s. There was very little prior notification.

[@getmeoutofhere1818]

If you watch Michael carefully you can see the dance steps that he uses when he's older. Many of his moves are classic, but he was a great showman!

[@greatmatth3093]

Uhn uh, Michael. I got to have you, Baby! A SuperStar in training. A wonderful thing to witness. Love you Michael! Love you J5! J5 Forever!💖

[@Pamela-zy7vc]

*Michael carried his whole family*

[@chillywillie6283]

The ages of the Jackson Five at the first airing of this Flip Wilson appearance on 11/4/71: Michael 13, Marlon 14, Jermaine 16, Tito 18, Jackie 20.

[@d.l.l.g.5824]

😢 MICHEAL JOSEPH JACKSON

[@jacklinethomas682]

I love them all ❤️

[@Ronlg1]

Check out the STEPS around 30 seconds in!!!

[@NolanH555]

This version is my favorite of all time. MJ adlibs and voice is UNMATCHED

[@SS-ii6nz]

Wow, the Jackson 5 was simply a fantastic soul professional and R&B group. ❤❤❤

[@wayne2k33]

damn, this is live... listen to Michael sing!! incredible.

[@soulgirl66]

LOVE the way they broke it down 0:54-0:60 :D

[@norma5044]

Sae the Jackson 5 in Las Vegas. It was an awrdome show. The smaller venues in Las Vegas are much better fot this tyoe of hrouo.

[@kimilatt]

I was thinking the very same thing. I use to watch this show every week and I don't remember the Jackson 5 ever being on. YT is rich in history for people to look up the past.

[@ShaunaDiawaku]

man sometimes I wish I was alive back then to see all of this stuff...that was some good music back then...I feel like I should have been born in this era so I could experience The Jackson 5 and their amazingness :)

[@bettyA7598]

So many memories.

[@Batlise]

SOUND IS AWFUL!!!!!

[@rahjaprince4904]

[@sjmj3]

[@timboci1]

You can find this version on an album released in 2009 called I Want You Back! The Unreleased Masters.

[@Tudaman]

This is the alternate unrelesed version of Never Can Say Goodbye. They used to perform this version at some of their live performances.

[@mjzou]

Magnifique spectacle...Michael et ses frères sont toit simplement supers...!

[@iLuvsIjaee]

omg.. me too I wish I the same age I am now (14) but in the times of the Jackson 5. Instead of 1994 where good music was dying down. Now im tortured with Disney channel singers and bad acting :'( I WAS BORN IN THE WRONG TIMEEE

[@ssbbw00]

this was so funny but then turned sad looking a that beautiful kid thats no longer with us but nice vid anyway the brothers all look good

[@horiatiki]
