The 80s and 90s were great overall with the advent of MTV and VH1 and music videos that was pure magic of art, music and creativity, but the true sweet spot was the 70s.

[@davidn.211]

Michael Jackson had incredible talent. With lots of help from his family, especially from his dad, he grew his talent at an early age. Later on he continued to grow his talent to become the world's greatest entertainer. His faith as a jehovah's witness actually hindered his musical career as the J.W.s wanted the Thriller video banned because of the zombies that were in it. Plus they spied on him with two J.W. members on his tours. They were part of his entourage. They caused him so much grief that he wrote a letter to the J.W. cult asking to be left alone and to no longer be referred to as a J.W.

[@MeshMwah]

Yes indeed

[@denisepearson6572]

I loved watching American Band Stand Saturdays. Michael was a beautiful person inside and out. We will never know why he changed his outward appearance, but I hope he is resting in peace.❤️

[@littlenige]

I'm almost lost for words when I try to describe how tremendous such music was. Music today is a joke by comparison. Sure there are some good singers about today, some great singers, like GaGa. But the MUSIC by itself was incredible. From the days when I used to buy 12" singles just for the instrumental version, often on the B side, because the music was so damn good. I feel blessed to have been born in the 60's which I meant I grew up listening to the sounds of the 70's and 80's - the BEST times!!!!

This has to be the perfect performance on stage, out of the many perfect MJ performances. These brothers from Gary ,Indiana are one of the greatest family acts ever... they are the truth.

[@hieutv8350]

this is my favorite performance of the Jacksons! So good.

[@ObamAmerican48]

Good stuff. Those were the days, that was THE music. I don't think Michael ever knew we girls absolutely swooned over him.

Incredible to think that 'Thriller' was a mere 3 years away...

Im here 2019. Im a rocker, Zepplin, Van Halen, 80s metal etc. But one of my guilty pleasures is The Jackson's, Micheal Jackson. So much talent and dedication to their craft. R.I.P Micheal.......

why guilty?

[@ethanang3527]

I absolutely agree with that beautiful comment!! I hope that the 2 of us aren't the only ones who truly knows what this man has meant to me! He has been an absolute icon in my life 😍 and I will always hold him dear in my heart ❤ rip, Michael

[@Millienfilm81]

What an introduction to an iconic band. The Jacksons are truly amazing.

[@tj921able]

Now you know why I loved American Bandstand. They knew how to put on a show as did the Jacksons. This was great! Thank you for posting it.

[@Judy-um6yn]

Their dancing was so ahead of the times. Just glad I was part of that era. Still luv Michael & Jackson 5

[@htkm1179]

I first heard this as a skinny little kid in a disco on a Saturday night held in the dining room of my boarding school in Northern Nigeria in the early 80's! A dining hall filled with 500 kids getting down! Some folks use crack to get high. I just crank this up and dance my ass off. In my 50's!!! MJ - A flawed musical GENIUS!! RIP!

The Jackson's a Super Super family, Michael was a Genius, The greatest The best, The legends,🌹🌹🌹🌹❤️❤️❤️

[@vwiggins9797]

Wow! I didn't realize how much I was missing back then because I very seldom watched Soul Train. There was so much other great music during that time. This was a family of awesome performers. Multitasking with singing, dancing and playing instruments

[@lindasturm699]

This is my favorite Jackson 5 song. I was 15 years old when it came out and we played it endlessly on the jukebox in our school cafeteria.
