The Jackson 5 - Killing Me Softly (@ The Cosby Show 1974)

[@NothingSpecialVideo]

I absolutely love listening to Michael's voice in this era. He no longer sang in a baby voice but hadn't quite transferred to the way we're used to hearing him as an adult. I know it can be tough for guys to keep singing when their voices drop but he always sounded wonderful. So beautiful and pure!!!

[@tavwilliam9367]

Tina Spence he still have that baby like go this is it in I'll be there he still had that baby silky smooth sound. despite his age very rare that people that Yung sound like that.

[@blessedby5]

Tina I so agree - his voice was just lovely at this stage!

[@keithcunningham3131]

@@tavwilliam9367 this is it was like 1983 and mj is a singer so he worked keeping his high notes

[@Sheed-vx7wm]

Michael Jackson was one of God's blessings to the music and entertainment world. MJ was the man on stage

[@TooChakalypse]

@@keithcunningham3131 definitely not 83. 84 is when thriller came out. This is more like 75 or 76

Their vibrato kills me all the time 😻

[@oRuTRa45]

Immaculate, right? 😊

[@clbzone]

Yes!

[@akshaygowrishankar7440]

Their voices are so beautiful and so fine-tuned to bring out the emotions to the max in the slower tempos, always have been. Michael was just better at maintaining his voice, though.

[@thecontroversy7914]

mmmmmmmmmm sounds goooood

[@nikkiokunes3036]

Are we just going to ignore Jackie's angelic falsetto? Magical folks them Jacksons.

[@roseclarity1493]

Yeah but doesn't it seem like Marlon's mic MIT be turned off, cause I can't hear a sound from him while Jackie sings.

[@brendagarrett4816]

Rose Clarity, I was thinking the same thing.

[@sainttrunks1982]

#nikkiokunes I'm not, Jackie has the 2nd best voice in the group.

[@brendagarrett4816]

Heck no. I just love listening to the songs, where Jackie's voice is heard. They all compliment each other very well, especially in ballads.

[@lovepeace5217]

Brenda Garrett yes...its bliss. Michael was truly a magician...all he did was bring joy&happiness

[@faa1412]

We've only scratched the surface of Michael's limitless talent... there was so many other things he wanted to do after "This Is It". This man could sing just about any genre, act, draw, write songs, produce, write scripts, direct, and let's not forget his fashion style. After TII, he wanted to get into making documentaries (wanted to take film directing classes) and get back into humanitarian/philanthropy work including business investment iniatives in Africa... sigh we truly lost a one-of-kind-angel.

[@atirad8]

Thank you Matt. Michael was sooooo much more.

[@faa1412]

Yes he was! :(

[@annlanders978]

A Matt Yes, there were NO limits to Michael's talents and abilities. He would have made amazing movies. Steven Speilberg who?

[@xl9473]

Imma just say relax there

[@OriginalKingRichTv]

He was our dad

[@vdcs1]

MJ is the best of all time, he sing, dance and does things that no one can ever do on stage... I will always love you MJ...

[@annlanders978]

Vinicius Diniz There will never be another Michael Jackson.

[@thechriskelleyshow4493]

Michaels had the perfect voice and style for this song

[@thechriskelleyshow4493]

Michael *

[@KEYBEATZ]

Here's real proof that they all could sing! Not just Michael (even though he had the strongest voice)

[@Mochaa94]

francis turner LMAOOOO

[@misfrancis09]

***** you couldn't hear Marlon because he SUCKS!

[@rushmanize]

+francis turner Jackie did an outstandng job on his part !!!! too bad we didn't hear Marlon or Tito do a part !!!! (VDH)

[@rushmanize]

I agree they ALL could sing !!!!! Michael got the most attention and credit !!!!! Although Mike was indeed gifted, so were the other brothers. I think if each of them had the attention and backers Mike got they too would have been super 'Superstars' in their own right !!!!! Michael had that charisma everyone noticed !!!!!! He was like a magnet, he pulled in his fans !!!!! But I feel sad for the other brothers who also worked so hard to sacrifice for the family.They were the bread winners !!!!

[@sherill3369]

Michael was very gifted and charismatic, but it was his intelligence and business acumen in knowing how to market his product, and his ability to "see" ahead what fans wanted that set him apart from everyone else. Not to mention his hard work and dedication to it. While everyone else was getting married and having babies, Michael remained married to his fans and his career well into his adult life (He even said this himself during the Bashir interview). Michael was a very smart cookie with a genius IQ of 164 (or higher). People usually just under estimated him because of his bashful, soft-spoken personality.

[@jadiemay82]

the harmonies between Michael and Jermaine..... amazing!!! their voices blend perfectly together!!!

[@MusicLoverPearson]

TITo is one hell ofa guitar player as well as Jermaine is on Bass Guitar along with the Jack 5 great harmonies. that's what made them great.

[@1980Triumph]

You are right, they don't get enough credit as musicians and their harmonies. When they blend together it is pretty amazing.

[@MusicLoverPearson]

Thank you very much at least you and I can agree in this as well since these young folks only think of Mike but they fail to realize that he sings with his brothers as well.

[@1980Triumph]

Lamont Pearson One of the best parts of the Live album is listening to how flawless his brothers sound singing background vocals.

[@MusicLoverPearson]

1980Triumph Man who you telling LMAO I was at the Triumph tour when they cam to Madison Square Garden the kicked ass.They named their album Triumph becasue of Randy's Triumph recovery after his cra accident that almost killed him or left him Paralyzed.I still listen the Jacksons Live album i have it on Vinyl and CD just like all of their albums.

[@1980Triumph]

Lamont Pearson All man, you saw the show live, I have to ask. All the pics of the Garden shows are him in the all white outfit but they performed two nights there, was he wearing the all white when you saw them. During the 81 tour they were no joke, they wanted to be number one again and MJ wasn't playing. Those mid 70's years were hard on him, he was out to win.

[@elogan4820]

This is exquisite... I'm in tears.. singing 3 different songs and making it sound like 1. Genius.

[@hemke2502]

this is so beautiful i'm actually crying

[@hemke2502]

Voice of an angel, Miss you Michael

[@musiclover_kb4913]

This is proof of how talented these guys were. Michael, Jackie and Jermaine all sound great. Ah pure raw talent, much better than today

[@dreamgirl.02.x]

Michael Jackson is the only artist that makes me feel what he was feeling while singing... i love him with all my senses and soul♡ My angel!

[@Spargold1]

I have listened to many version of Killing me softly and even had it played at my wedding! But I would really have loved the Jacksons' version of it! I could sit and watch them all day and it would still never be enough ! I wish Michael Jackson was still living!

[@edminer9061]

The world was not ready for Michael.He was the most perfect singer,perfect dancer,perfect entertainer.Rest in peace Michael.

[@glory_2ustv50]

I always come to watch Michael sing this song when I feel down. Life has been killing me softly for years now. Sometimes I don’t know how to stop bringing myself down.

[@_dom_97]

I know its been 3 years since you wrote this. I just found your comment and it made me sad. I really hope youre doing well, I truly mean it. I wish I had more things to say to lift your spirits but youve probably heard it all before, the cliches and repetitive advice. There is some truth to it but I know it doesnt always work. Sometimes you just need someone to validate your feelings. Im sorry. Life sucks sometimes. Hang in there

[@bevh2107]

I too pray all is well with you these days...

[@glory_2ustv50]

When he sings the “killing me softly” part I felt that... Michael had a way of expressing everything through music. I can relate the the pitch which struck a chord in my heart. Your truly remarkable mj.

[@lakerlover80]

Makes me happy and sad at the same time... Mike is missed.

[@Soulgirl661]

I never get tired of this. So beautiful... Michael owns it. I can't say in words how much I love the Jacksons, and have for 43 years xx

[@ImaLittleStitious]

Damnnn Jackie can sing. I am actually so intrigued by his voice on this song! I really love this performance as a whole.

[@misfrancis09]

get the wax out your ears!

[@misfrancis09]

***** SHUT up!

[@sainttrunks1982]

Jackie can sing better than Jermaine

[@clydenorris7789]

Randy is better than Jermaine vocally and is the only professionally trained musician in the group.

[@sainttrunks1982]

#ClydeNorris i Agree Randy's a better singer than Jeraine but not better than Jackie.

[@CarlosLima-cl9zr]

Que voz maravilhosa do MICHAEL JACKSON, que entrega na canção, interpretação, que lindo. Não haverá mais talento assim, nesta magnitude.

Exatamente,levo seu comentário comigo...👑🪄🤩🙏

omg is this the 16 yr old michael!?? Hes so CUTE. but everyone in the jackson 5 was so talented yall need to hype up the other members more. Theyre so amazing

[@jameskennedy552]

You can't say if not the best dancer in the Family when you have Michael in your family sorry.Give him his props but don't overrate him

[@507dannyfe]

Really Michael had all the true talent

[@dageeway5687]

No he was 15

He 15 he stated that he was 15 to bill cosby

Absolutely stunning! Michael has the most beautiful voice 💕💕💕💕

[@StraightnNarrow1]

I got chills listening to this. I never knew they sung this song. Definitely beautiful. I'm wiping tears. A talented family all the way.

[@leeshepherd5669]

I saw them in VEGAS in 1974 They sung a good few songs that they' ve never recorded Theyd id about 11 or 12 dates ..

[@maryok4099]

In 1974, 1975, and 1976, J5 was on every variety/musical comedy show on the air multiple times. And they had their own. They covered other artist's hits, and everyone in the group had an opportunity to showcase their talents. Good times.

[@OriginalBillieJean12]

Michael, you are so beautiful. I'm glad that you're in a place where the ignorant people can't hurt you ever again. I love you so much

[@saraalaa6242]

what a beautiful song ! love you mike

[@wingchundragon]

Michael and jermaine together is perfection. Gotta love Marlon tho. Pretending to sing with Jackie. Lol

[@cindyg272]

Ikr, but he wasn't pretending. I think his microphone accidentally got cut off and they kept going for the show, or they didn't realize it.

[@cindyg272]

Also you're right about Mike and Jermaine. Pure Gold

[@ctmckin]

Bwahaha!! Hilarious! Ol' Marly Marl :) lol

[@classicstorm]

[@hasanx4637]

he's singing a low background harmony.

I loved the part when jermaine and michael sing together that was beautiful

[@smirkishtuscadero6022]

[@carohysk]

This whole performance is AMAZING they are all damn talented

[@valerieagnew2422]

Michael was definitely, one-of-a-kind!

[@Tinkerbell2754]

The Jackson 5 performed that medley brilliantly with tenderness. Absolutely an outstanding performance. Michael Jackson's Killing Me Softly was interwined with all of the song as the other two song co-mingled was very impressive. The Jacksons is the best group and Michael Jackson the King of Pop will never be replace. Michael Jackson is Forever! Long Live the King!! I love you my angel Michael with all my heart and soul for all eternity!

[@KWannaMosley]

I wish the Jackson could exist now in this era and be famous. Michael Jackson is perfect.

[@Ana-eb4qz]

The passion and soul Michael had in singing was incredibly beautiful
