My mom was lucky. She told me a few years ago that she was 5 years old when my grandmother took her and my uncles to the Apollo Theater to where J5 opened up for James Brown. It had to be around their first album and first TV appearances. MJ was a force to be reckon with, and he _still_ is. But I will give credit where it's due. Joe Jackson saw the vision that his sons had potential and he was right. Aside from the other issues concerning him, he did what he had to do in order for his family to thrive and survive. You will _never_ seen a family group or it's lead singer on the caliber we've witnessed with this clan. The boomers' and the hip hop generation/MTV generation witnessed what MJ was becoming in just a few short years. And remember _three_ of the biggest stars were black when MJ was dominating the globe. #RIPMJ

I grew up with the J5, and no thought of racism. We were poor and white. My favorite music to this day is Motown, R&B. I didn’t like the negative msgs. of a lot of the rap singers. Money, guns, gangster life. Michael was a pure loving person, and a wonderful father. I literally sobbed and was angry when he died. The Doctor did him wrong and he was black. Why is racism so much a thing today? Didn’t stop Michaels family, Ben Carson or Obama. I have visited his funeral site with flowers several times, and took my young white son as well to let him know one of the most important people in my life and the world was gone to soon. It still hurts to this day. Feel the same sadness with princess Diana. Hopefully, we can all move on over this racism issue instead of it dividing this nation. Racism goes both ways. A black man destroyed my life, and my sons but I don’t care what color he was, he was just mean spirited and a racist.

Supposedly this was their first televised appearance. I was just imagining their mom watching them on t.v. According to the mini series, The Jackson An American Dream, they showed her watching them at home live with her Mom and other children etc. I really tried putting myself in her shoes at that moment. It must've been incredibly gratifying to see her son's on such a stage. Then of course we all know the rest of the story, legends in the making here. My God there will NEVER be anyone as incredible of a performer as Michael Jackson and his fame in the 1980s was absolutely insane, if you weren't around to experience it, its very difficult to try explain to people just how insanely famous he was. No one has ever come close since Michael. Before him it was Elvis then Michael just went ballistic. I am so so so very grateful to have been 13-14 years old during 1983. That year Michael Jackson was just beyond famous it truly was crazy.. I'm glad I was around to see him at various stages of his career. From child prodigy to master craftsman of his art form. Wow, just wow, rest easy Mike I'm sure your at peace and in the arms of Angels 😇

They were (our) Beatles, The Jackson 5ive set the stage for many young start up bands. Of course little Mike, was the star but them brothers were equally talented, and the band was tight. Sadly today, we only have a handful of amazing talent. Our kids today don’t have the musical work ethic, like a Jackson 5ive. Today it’s all studio enhanced, repetitive sounds. The live shows are special effects, and digital extravaganzas, to hide the non talented performers. Acts like Bruno Mars give me hope, because you see the showmanship, backed with a tight band.

What a remarkable voice he had as a child. The ultimate performer.

[@JaySmith-mz7vg]

The musicality. Did y'all see him at 2:29-30 hitting the beat with that move? Man! Somethings just can't be taught.

[@albertreyes9870]

Get that somethings just can't be taught

[@brandonjackson3641]

Right he was just to talented 🕺🎶🎵🎵

[@musicismymistra8437]

yeah us girls use to scream when the J 5 hit that move we called it popping. on some songs Marlon and Jackie hit that move too. We'd scream oohhhhhhhhhh they're popping. I saw them live in 1971 and 2010 with the Reunion tour after Michael passed. but you could feel his Spirit there, and this September 2023. So glad I was there from the Beginning and I Love them Forever.

[@nilcesantos5904]

Puro talento, Michael veio ao mundo para cantar e dançar e emocionar nossos corações, essa foi sua missão na terra.

[@Tomy8853]

So dedicated voice

[@srividhyaful]

Such a gorgeous kid Michael was ! Immensely talented droplet of a Miracle God dropped on earth for us to see, listen and immerse

Me & Mike born the same year, me 4 months earlier. For those times, this was EPIC! Thanks for the memories reelblack!!

[@JM1675]

You look like Busta Rhymes

[@antonijaro7501]

Legends ❤️ and Michael was so talented words cant explain how getting emotional watching this

[@mybluesaway6856]

Blown away omg baby Michael!!!

[@cher_sh]

One of a kind band, The Jackson's 5. Grew up with IT since I can remember. I've not heard that 2nd song until my Beloved Husband would bass it out and sing this song to me, like a million times, figuratively. J5 were as my second tv family. Love the moves too! All the way live pure, raw talented human beings.

[@maximeajavon]

His mom must have been so proud ❤️

[@antjams]

Thanks for sharing this I knew the very soulful slow song "Can You Remember" was on their first album but I never knew they sung it first on national TV in the Jacksons movie they made it appear "I Want You Back" was the first song they sung on national TV.

[@randyeno]

Pretty amazing. Michael was an entertainment veteran @ age 10.

[@yvonnewitherspoon846]

....even into adulthood. They all have so much talent and Michael was multitalented. Gone sooooo soon RIP

[@jamiesivad6443]

Michael been doing that 2-1/2 Spin since 1969!

[@susanb6289]

I was only a couple years younger than Michael. When I was 7, me and my sister (10) used to make our Barbie's dance to our Jackson 5 records in the bedroom on the old portable stereo...in 1969. J5 was the absolute coolest in my 7 year old music scene at the time. Still luv J5 music. Feel like I grew up with Michael.

[@youknowwhatflav9916]

They're so cute awww

[@arethawalker1724]

Michael was always so very talented!!! Love watching the early years! Diana was so young and beautiful! Love my Old School artist!🎶❤🎶❤

[@vinuthabt2830]

Little Michael sir enjoying the singing and dancing love you sir

[@empresserica]

I was crushing bad on Michael Jackson. Although I could never understand how that old man soul came out of a kid?!?!. He had gifts, and I'm so grateful to have experienced them! I loved me some Jackson 5! 🙏🏾👋🏽💃🏽💜

[@quotesbynanipbe]

Michaels life should be an example to us to appreciate the blessings of a person while they are here instead of wait til their gone to give them the most glory!!

[@fldas17]

He was celebrated a TON during his lifetime. He was a legend at 12 years old and everybody knew it and appreciated it. Nothing changed, it’s as it’s always been; talent was celebrated but the man was disrespected.

[@lherissonkervenz4764]

Ilove you baby

[@mariahyohannes]

He had the best selling album of all time for 20 years and still does😂I think he was appreciated musically

[@chrrylocks]

Beautiful, just beautiful...

[@rafaelmonzon581]

This is why I subscribed to this channel. Not only do we get to see some classics, but the video quality is impressive. J5 is the standard for musicians. The whole family had talent even his sisters but Michael was truly a Marvel. This was a little before my time so I don't recall them this young nor Diana Ross. She was gorgeous.

[@pamelalynch2580]

I love this man like family, although I never meet him. I had to take off work for a week when he passed; I did receive a form of closure with his this is it. MJ was such an awesome individual. RIP my favorite musician.

[@steveclark1303]

Such joy in the Young MJ face

[@rodneyhamilton9707]

I'm so glad to have been born a year before M.J. I grew up watching him grow up! the music and the time was magical. 1969 was the year that I graduated from Elementary school, Doesn't seem like it's been so long ago! Best memories ever! J-Five for Life!

[@Comeasyouare700]

Love 💕 this 💜

[@josianebello466]

Nunca mais houve outro popstar igual ao Michael Jackson ❤🇧🇷

[@denisegarrett3977]

Watching this brings back memories of me and my Daddy dancing this on Christmas Day.

[@leniraviegas8055]

Michael foi um fenômeno. É difícil para uma criança fazer tudo isso.

Those dance moves were on point!

[@dianagorden9171]

Michael Jackson has always been a very good with music career, watching him and his brothers as the Jackson 5 when I was growing up was always such a great pleasure and as time passed he was one of the best with his music and of course his dancing was just fantastic. He will be missed.

[@markojameow]

This was one talented young man.

[@thisisit9797]

맑고 순수한 어린 눈망울 Michael Jackson을 볼때마다 눈시울이 적셔져요

[@lindajohnson5012]

This is one inspiring and amazing for Family'! I'm so honored to have been brought up on their unique music 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽💯💯✊🏾RESPECT❤️🙏🏾🙌🏽👍🏾"!

[@mcwakefield]

I remember watching the j5 on tv, i know we r close in age n it always got me about how much talent he really had. I grew up with musicians in my house always as my mom played all over n had many friends who played around town n around the country. Truly a loss that he’s gone now, no more mj, really sad. RIP

[@nickf527]

Miss you M.J.! Diana Ross looked great on this show too!

[@bridgetgregory3876]

Does anyone remember when some cereal companies had a record of the Jackson 5 on the back of the cereal boxes where you can cut it from the box and place it on a record player?? I can't remember if it was from Kellogg's or Post. We would play those 'temporary records' until they wear out. They were very popular back in those early 70's. They also had a Saturday morning cartoon program as well. Sometimes I wish we can bring the 1970's back...seems like life was very simple back then. Time Machine Please!!!

[@mikehopkins3878]

Diana so beautiful and Michael all natural and awesome. We r old

[@hollywoodkelly-mons8859]
