THE JACKSONS - BLAME IT ON THE BOOGIE (REACTION)

[@aileenturrietta7553]

Michael was honing his dance moves for his solo career. I grew up on the Jackson Five and followed Michael through his Solo career. My kids once asked me "How do you know Michael so well?😂😂"

[@ayaanbretmitchell9830]

Yep you're right. Through all those years you can see he trying stuff out.

[@никабонд-э5е]

[@calmnrelaxed]

Nah, Michael was always a great dancer...do a KZbin search for stuff like Dancin Machine (when Mike was even younger than he was here) and you'll see what I'm saying.

Yes, MJ was the star for sure but don't discount ALL (6) the brothers. It was magic with all of them. They got plenty hits. Then the 3 sisters too obvi esp Janet.

Before they were famous, my wife was in charge of the entertainment for a High School dance. The Jackson's of course lived in Gary, right next door to Hammond. My wife somehow knew about the Jackson's and booked them to play at the dance. If she had only known their future.

Thanks for sharing. This familj is royalty. And Michael always cherished and remembered as the greatest artist of all time. ❤

[@angelagoodwin5758]

They were HUGE in the 70s. There used to be a great fan magazine aimed at black teens called "RIGHT ON!"' , and these brothers were featured in many of the issues. I was fortunate enough to see The J5 twice in the 70s. Great vibe!

[@Lovejazz01]

R&B Soul music royalty right here at their best! If y’all haven’t jumped down the very deep Jackson 5/Jackson’s rabbit hole, you are in for a treat! You have the late 60’s, early 70’s, mid 70’s, late 70’s(here ), early 80’s and late 80’s. And all that doesn’t even include Micheal’s incredible legendary solo career (as a child, teen and adult, Jermaines legendary solo career, and of course Janet, Rebe and Latoya’s section. And even now Tito has released a few great solo albums recently..

[@andreadeamon6419]

Don't forget titos sons. They sound great

[@odinspromise]

I remember the Jackson 5 from my childhood and Michael was all of 4 feet tall. They even had a Saturday morning cartoon along with the Osmonds that we never missed! Simpler times and fond memories. PEACE!!!!!

[@faithnyou1732]

You really owe it to yourselves to dive into the early Jackson Five to truly understand that Michael has ALWAYS been super talented! His brothers are also talented, but Michael always stole the show! I remember seeing their first public appearance on TV when Michael was about 6 or 7 years old. Such an incredible talent! Check out "ABC" (link below - It's a live performance on American Bandstand). This will be a real treat for you, if you react to it! Thanks for this reaction! 💙✌ ABC - kzbin.info/www/bejne/nqCaaGxsYsaobrc

[@delisamarchetti5926]

Hi guys, I love the new picture wall behind you, it looks great. I also really liked this video, it brought happy tears to my eyes to see them all again and Michael so young and happy. His dancing in that video was joyous. I would love to hear more Jackson Five videos and songs. Michael was a super star indeed, but the stuff he did when he was in the Jackson Five should not be forgotten because they were absolutely amazing together.

[@trojanmoondoggie4582]

This will always be one of my favorites by the Jacksons. The talent is just beyond. It just puts me in a good mood. Every time! Where have those days gone?

[@corinaperez226]

I love early Michael. He was so joyful and beautiful during this time.

[@dotishboy]

Jermaine had already left the “Jackson 5” in 1976 and was replaced by Randy (I think) .From 1976 onwards,they called themselves “The Jacksons” .As an FYI,the first concert I ever went to was The Jacksons concert when they did a 2 city performance in Trinidad 🇹🇹 back in 1978

[@savannahbos6343]

Love the Jackson's... Grew up on their music... really good memories thank you for sharing🥰

[@way2deep100]

This was recorded after four of the original Jackson 5 left Motown to gain greater creative control. Jermaine stayed behind because he was in the awkward position of being married to Motown president Berry Gordy Jr's daughter. He therefore embarked on a solo career there while the remaining brothers switched labels and drafted in youngest brother, Randy. Had this decision not been taken, it is doubtful Michael Jackson would ever have been given the opportunity to become the icon he developed into. Marvin Gaye and even Stevie Wonder had to threaten to run down their contracts before Gordy would allow them to make the music their hearts dictated. Just imagine, no Off the Wall, no Thriller, no What's Going On, no Talking Book, no Songs in the Key of Life. It doesn't bear thinking about! Curiously, although Blame It On The Boogie was written by Michael Jackson, he is an English songwriter who happened to share the King of Pop's name. He wrote the song with Stevie Wonder in mind but was persuaded to record it himself using the handle Mick Jackson. At around the same time, people from The Jacksons new label, Epic, were looking for material, heard Mick Jackson's original in Europe and took a recording back to the group, who liked it and were no doubt amused by the strange coincidence. Mick Jackson wasn't about to miss the opportunity to have The Jacksons record his song and its predictable popularity played a large part in the chart success of his own version.

[@vt5533]

We used to call him "little" Michael Jackson when he first performed and, even then, he had an amazing voice and stage presence..... We miss him so much!

[@lisadavenport2390]

Jermaine was doing a solo career at that time and stay with Motown, he rejoined the group later on. check out : The video enjoy yourself, shake your body down to the ground & destiny, can you feel it, if you want to react : to their older music , start with their first song, I want you back & who loving you , I really enjoy both of you , I love ❤️ your reaction to our music

YES!!! A quick big thumbs-up. Young Michael and brothers.

[@Allencartercomix]

I love both this song, and this post -Motown, pre-Thriller era of The Jacksons and Michael Jackson's solo career (1975-1981). This song was from their "Destiny" album, which also had "Shake your Body (Down to the Ground), "All Night Dancing," and "Push me Away." You should also check out their "Triumph" album with the excellent tracks "Can you feel It," "Lovely One," "Time Waits for No One," and "Walk Right Now."

There's a live version of this from London. I think his mother said Michael came out dancing and couldn't be still 😂, but she would wake him up from his bed or doing his homework and say that Jackie Wilson or James Brown was on TV and he couldn't take his eyes off them (hence new edition, Usher, NSYNC,and Backstreet Boys. So look up the live version of blame it on the boogie from London.

Kylie Minogue gave a nod to "Blame It on The Boogie" in her 1990 hit, "Step Back in Time".

[@RastaSaiyaman]

The sad part is that people forget that there was a VERY GOOD reason why Michael became that legendary superstar, and it had nothing to do with autotune or a team writing all the songs and basically had him looking good on stage.

You should check out the live version of "Blame it on the Boogie" from London in 79. It is dope. BTW the dude on the bass was Randy.

Should obviously delve into more Jacksons but also Motown and early R&B and Soul music. Lots of great music and great artists often underappreciated and underestimated in their influence on music and other musicians.

In 1975 The Jackson 5 wanted to leave Motown and sign up with Epic Records. Jermaine didn’t agree and on top of that he was married to Berry Gordy’s (boss of Motown) daughter, which put him in an awkward position. Jermaine stayed with Motown but since Motown owned the rights to their name they changed it to The Jacksons, and little brother Randy joined the group.

Marlon had a hit song as an adult. He was on Johnny Carson or similar talk show. Very genuine and grounded guy. Likeable! The Jackson’s were for a younger age group than me, but I bought Michael’s “Bad” the day it came out (cassette tape), and my kids and I played the record with the leopard (thriller?) all the time. He spanned a few generations. Paul McCartney’s collaboration was genius. I’m sorry he bought the Beatle’s songs though. That would hurt.
