[@favstarr01]

I don't think the world really appreciates the immense talent that Michael Jackson really was. One of the things that he is known for is his superb spin move. Many people believe that it was added to his repertoire when he became "Michael". This video dispels that myth. Here he is in 1975 spinning like a top, way before he found his own singular identity. He was simply a phenom, like Mozart, Jordan, Rembrandt, Einstein, etc. If you studied him you would understand.

[@kennethparris8405]

He's the greatest artist of all time across all genres. He was phenomenal, and was put on this planet to influence a generation.

[@onemillionpercent]

100% agreed.

[@sarahfaithfk888]

Michael is the greatest of all time ! The way he is singing this was already so true! He was deeply in love with Diane Ross already when he sang this.

[@dequadiewalton7619]

He got that spin move from David Ruffin

[@so.many.obstacles]

You’re one of these crazy people that calls people that are well appreciated and celebrated, “underrated” because you lack bandwidth. The world appreciates Michael Jackson in both life and death. He is the most celebrated and decorated artist known world-wide. Just because you lack this understanding doesn’t mean the rest of the world does.

To be honest I love love Troop's version! But after listening to this version this has become my new favorite because I just love that 70s vibe that it brings. I am a young woman with an old soul! I love that 70s style of music and singing. And Michael's voice blended in with his brothers is just the sounds of Heaven! Totally in love with this version! I just can't stop listening to it. Now I listen to this version more than Troop's version! Thanks KZbin! Who would have thought this was a Jackson 5 song! ❤❤❤

[@codrutcroitoru]

Maybe because the chorus and the main theme is almost similar with "you are everything", released in 1971 by another band. (The stylistics, if I remember well). The same "you are everything" that was then, in 1991, covered by Rod Stewart.

[@Bentom86]

It's funny to read the comments of how shocked people were that this was a J5 song in 1975, long before the guys of Troop came along. That used to upset me until realizing that 1990 or 91 was still an age when videos ruled, so it was easy for kids to be unaware of the original. The J5 didn't really have that luxury...their old Saturday morning cartoon & talk shows like this Mike Douglas spot were all there was. They had so many great hits, and this one was certainly not well promoted since they were about to part ways with Berry Gordy & Motown. In fact, if memory serves, I think it was buried as the b-side of the "Forever Came Today" single. So nice to see how people are still discovering this lost treasure.

[@juicekennedy222]

I grew up a J5 fan, they were my favorite group when i was younger but being born in 89 I never heard this one until I did some digging cause a friend of mine SWORE this is an original B5 song and came across this.. Blew my mind

We lost music ,when we lost lost him. I believe the entire world lost a part of themselves, when he died. I love him still and listening to his music, hurts! Am so glad to have been exposed to the real music. The has lost compassion and good will, when we lost music! Music brought us together and told each one of us , that we were loved. Just look around and you can tell yourself, something is definitely missing. This why God loves music zoo much., it brought peace to our rattling hearts and love to our very soul! MJ gave us that and much more.

Mike sounds good here, but if you really want to enjoy the Jackson 5 singing this song, listen to the originally recorded version, which, by the way, is the first version, before Troop. During that studio version of the song, Michael performs a vocal run so monstrous that even HE dared not attempt to reproduce it here.

I agree and also no Jermaine, though he recorded on the original they obviously leave his vocals out as he'd left the group by this time I'm supposing. J's vocals are almost superfluous as Michael runs all up and down his lol

Needless to say this was the first an only tape. They did a outstanding job with it.

In every song Mike sings live it is always preceded by 'This is one of my favorite or my favorite song.' And he would say it before every song. I guess all the songs he sang are his favorite. This would indicate that Mike really enjoys singing. Not many of us like our jobs but we do it nonetheless. But Mike just loves to perform which was truly his calling in life. I love looking at the past footage of the J5 since I wasn't from that era. Mike is just awesome!
