I swear I have to going rewind rewind rewind rewind just studying his every move as he did with james brown...Mike is too blessed with skills

[@xell5252]

ABSO FUKIN LUTELY Awesome ✊🏾

Yea but sometimes it gets ruined because it's shown at the wrong angle

[@thisjustin212]

1. The spin. 2. The ROBOT. 3. The spin and the change of the mic from one hand to the other. 4. The way he got back in sync with Jackie and Marlon. He was ALWAYS A LEGEND. RIP KING

[@DA_L.O.S]

Michael at only 16 years old,,,Incredible,,

[@marcuscesaire3085]

The Jackson 5 was a phenomenal group. I like this song in particular, This is when Michael really started to perfect his dancing abilities.

[@ta4life27]

no it wasnt he been practicing since he was 12 trying to come up with something new

[@theharshtruthoutthere]

@@ta4life27 Get to know who are evil, how they communicate with one another (the language of hand signs and symbols of masonry) and EXPOSE them. Love truly your Neighbors. Don+t just say you do, SHOW IT that you do Ephesians 5:11 And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them. Ephesians 6:12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. For we wrestle not against flesh and blood,= not against human beings. All humans are our Neighbors, whom we are called to LOVE not hate not abuse, LOVE. And what is LOVE? John 15:13 Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends. John 7:24 Judge not according to the appearance, but judge righteous judgment. Love = laying down ones own life for their loved ones and giving out RIGHTEOUS JUDGMENT. How many amongst us LOVE? - FEW How many amongst us HATE? - MANY (many shall perish AWAY into everlasting torment. Death have never meant - out from existence. Mankind have given death a meaning it never had, just because for the love for sins and for darkness.) Hosea 4:6 My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children. John 8:32 And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free. Because of all the insanity which runs wild, wise souls turn to GOD, seek Him, get to know and understand HIM through reading and studying BIBLE with hunger for truth 24/7/365. In return getting: - healed -saved - wisdom and understanding about heavenly things - peace -love - strength - freed Matthew 11:28 Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. John 14:27 Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid. I saiah 55:6 Seek ye the LORD while he may be found, call ye upon him while he is near:

The way Mike could spin in time with the music always fascinated me. He could 360 to 720 spin clockwise to counter clockwise, just amazing!!!

Their last appearance on AB as the "Jackson 5". :( Also one of Jermaine’s last TV performances with the brothers. Thank u VERY much for postin' a clearer version of this clip.

Then they became the jacksons

This song was almost 2 years old, by 1975. No wonder Michael was tied of singing it.

That spin, that robot walk..flawless👏👏👏

that spin is the truth ... lol ...

[@Buddycoop1]

Remember this when it first came out as a kid. Still crank it to this day and our grand baby does the robot. Great group.

[@PamelaKay11]

I never get tired of watching Michael dance or sing. Or the entire family really 💓. The way he took the mic off so smoothly. The spins were perfect. I could never lol. I'm the definition of uncoordinated. Miss this man 😩💓.

[@antonigeli294]

A landmark in contemporary choreography. The sound was so fresh compared to regular pop rock stuff distilled in radio at the time.

[@Gump-tion]

@3:30 Jamaine like: "Damn, Mike, you killin it , bro!"

[@Wonderouz]

This is very rare for me. Ive never seen this or even knew they were on ab in 75...especially a year after the release. It's like being in another dimension when i see Jermaine with them in 75 like hold up wait a minute lol

[@Cas82958]

It is strange to see Jermaine still with them at this point. Gives us a glimpse of what could have been.

Jermaine Jackson gone the next month damn

[@jarrettcone8949]

IThat's crazy By this time They was talking to epic And they was Trying to get Jamaine to sign with them but they was still popular when they Left Motown

[@user-yy3bv6uq3p]

None can ever take their place in history! Kudos to a lot of those behind the scenes who helped to promote their on stage styles like Suzanne DePasse, when you looked at their performance, their unique fashion styles kept them to gain even more popularity! In 2023 street performers all over the world are still strutting their MJ stuff!

I also wish Michael didn't turn his back to the audience so fast as he was doing the robot. I loved seeing that blank stare on his face as he was doing the robot since it added to the routine.

It doesn't exist, none before and none after the jacksons. Their gifts came fro. God almighty from their mothers womb. They were designated to be stars and to get their they had to be obedient to they parents and the adults over them . They humbled themselves and that's what's made them All great.

Glad you mentioned that by 1975, "Dancing Machine" was no longer new and that they performed it (when it was new) on Soul Train in 1973. I think some people forget that the original version of "Dancing Machine" (with the intro and everything) was first released on the GIT (Get It Together) album.

[@MUSICENCYLOPEDIA]

Facts. Many members of The Jackson 5ive had wanted to start writing and producing their own music but Berry Gordy and Motown told them and their father no. Plus many of their labelmates were also having issues with the label for not promoting them and spending its time promoting Diana Ross who wound up leaving the label in 1981 due to lack of creative control and money. When The Jacksons signed with Epic they got more money and creative control

Michael drew a lot of attention. He was not totally perceived the same way as his brothers. Suzanne De Passe said that in the beginning, it was about the whole group, then it became more and more about MJ first, and second Jermaine. For instance,MJ alone was featured on the Rolling Stone mag front cover in 1971. There was also some teasing about his looks. MJ was nicknamed "Big Nose" during those times, he didn't like it.
