Michael Jackson - Ben - Rare LIVE Performance

I found this on an fb page, a tiny bit of the beginning is missing and I don't know why :/

[@LeprechaunJackson]

Almost 6 years later and this has reached over half a million views… kinda surreal as I wasn’t expecting it since my channel is small, I made a silent film last year called The Bridge **spoiler alert, there’s a small tribute to MJ there** (it’s featured on my channel so y’all don’t have to scroll through my shitty videos to find it lol), took me a while to film and edit and I would really appreciate it if y’all could please check it out 🥺 Out of all the shitty videos I’ve made, that one is the least shitty of them all and actually took some effort and courage for me to film it under a bridge with cars passing by. Normally I don’t do self promo and honestly it’s your choice whether you wanna watch my silent film or not, I don’t ask for subs either :) whoever is reading this, hope you have a nice day 🍀 and if you’ve had a shitty day, well whoever caused that will get a yeeting into space from me :D

Ben is a 1972 American horror film about a young boy and his pet rat, Ben. The film is a sequel to the film Willard (1971).[1] The theme song, "Ben", is performed by singer Michael Jackson. It was also included on his 1972 album of the same name.

Absolutely amazing. In the same class as 16yr old dorathy of Oz tearing up Over The Rainbow. Rare talents from such gifted young ones. Ben is a priceless treasure of early Micheals work.

I got hooked to listening non stop to the album and went on to buy all his vinyl albums, I can sing most songs word for word and at 62 years off age I still listen to all the old songs.
