[TEACHYOUTEEWHY]

[Niksnutje1]

[locoluca404]

@Niksnutje1 he's gone funky, not crazy ;) great to see how people could let themselves completely go to the music!

[Niksnutje1]

@locoluca404 yeah its really funny :P

[sammydeanjohansson]

[makisunn]

Hot Shots Charlie Sheen: LaToya....Tito.....JERMAINE!!!­.

[rustkeeper]

My heart always with the 5

[Kohl66]

God damn that kid can move! Gotta love little michael

[dnzhrmn]

the unique "shake head back" comes from those years :) look how he adored music.

[raycheesy1]

Swag.

[TEACHYOUTEEWHY]

You ripped this off of Betamax?

[constantrvlr]

RIP, you sang the soundtrack to my youth..........

[TEACHYOUTEEWHY]

Wow. When Mr. Don said "Gang" he meant people. They've been saying that hard since the 60s and the 70s. I love Old School.

[puritt86]

i like soul train becase it is my favorite show.i watch it evrey morning

[1Tim616]

"Different is the condition of everyone,"  "and different the nature of each place." The Irish culture live by this...inclusive over exclusive.

[1Tim616]

I watched Soul Train every Sunday afternoon...I've always gravitated to that lively spirit...they have another show with similar theme on CoolTV also...funny or perhaps not, things you forget about that once brought great passion ...it's slowly coming back what I refer to as "These are a few of my favorite things" Thanks for that thrill again...great video, and for sure a "Classic"

[cobo4]

bone thugs n harmony should've perform on Soul trian.

[mzneythia]

RIP Micheal Jackson You will truely ba missed!!

[wmakiling805]

How can this not bring a smile to your face?

[prayupblessings]

Missing MJ.

[4EVERjADExoxo]

Why does the background say Jermaine? lol .

[Cmoemoe79]

@4EVERjADExoxo OOOMMMMGGGG!!! that is funny as HELL!!! >>> WOW...Jermaine!!! LMAO!!!

[4EVERjADExoxo]

@Cmoemoe79 Lmao!

[BruhMan09]

@4EVERjADExoxo

Because Motown had just released Jermaine's 1st solo album. He performed a song or two of the album along with Jackson 5 songs with the group. Mike was the lead singer but he was a kid and it was Jermaine (a few years older) who was quite a hit back in those days especially with the ladies

[HollisKing]

@BruhMan09  we see how that turned out lol

[BruhMan09]

@HollisKing

LOL!! Jermaine should have stayed loyal to the family and left Motown with his brothers. Motown killed his solo career which is a shame because Jermaine is talented

[TEACHYOUTEEWHY]

This video should have more views that this.

[Nanadsyl]

You see how Micheal snatched that Mike. True professional at a young age!!

[Hopper830]

@Nanadsyl agreed

[gfine2000]

It was like Michael's life was all a dream and then he was gone. So sad. It shows that fame can truly destroy you. Fame is definitely not all it's cracked up to be. Or is it?

[rockywspd]

Before he went crazy with what America is today D:

[zandcsmom1]

@flannelcloud, SO funny!!

[TEACHYOUTEEWHY]

Happy Birthday Michael Jackson. May your soul Rest in Perfect Peace.

[yamibakura21]

4 people are Victoria Justice fans

[1goldbaby]

CALL BLACK PEOPLE WHAT YOU WANT ,BUT THEY ARE THE MOST IMITATED RACE OF PEOPLE EVER,SO WHAT DOES THAT MAKE THE PEOPLE WHO COPIES THEM

[2c1496]

COON TOONS

[SuJuGurl89]

@2c1496 What do you mean by coon toons? We already have enough racists in this world. We don't need any more! Oh & just to let you know......you may not look like it, but you do have a little bit of "coon" in you too.

[KeriHilson3345]

Did He have 2 die



[zimzum5000]

Is it just me or does Michael seem more like an adult here than he did later in life?

[louie77]

@zimzum5000 ...which is exactly why he was more child like in his adult life, because he was forced to be adult like since the age of 8, and through his young years. no one can ever not have a childhood, and because of that he had his childhood later in life...but of course as a society we couldn't see that because he was an adult so he is automatically whacky

[renaissancea]

I love how it says Jermaine in the background. Wonderful!

[1goldbaby]

@renaissancea the reason it says Jermaine in the background is cos Soul train featured Jermaine singing his hit songs solo and the J-5 came on and did I want you back

[renaissancea]

@1goldbaby I cool! I did see Jermaine singing before. Must be in the another video. Thanks for making that clear for me.

[trckpllr]

LOL guy in the gray shirt @ 2:40 :D

[quetzalel]

OMG! To be in that studio dancing to the Jackson 5 LIVE!

[multiiloveadam]

im trying to find the preformance of this song (or ABC?) where Michael was very young and was wearing a purple hat does anyone know where it is?? help!!

[janabee]

@multiiloveadam I could be wrong but the might have been when they were on Ed Sullivan.

[daltonavey]

@multiiloveadam that was their debut on ed sullivan in 1969



[NewWaver80014]

@multiiloveadam Yes, you can find that clip under "Jackson 5 I want you back", posted by littleMichaelJackson

[Thekinggamelon]

Why the background says "Jermaine"?

[jmorphiscave]

@Thekinggamelon probably cause its the name of the show or place or something

[TheEman67]

@jmorphiscave no its soul train

[jmorphiscave]

@TheEman67 oh

[AfroMusicV8]

@Thekinggamelon Because he had the Largest afro..... ha ha lol xD maybe he felt like he was unappreciated or it was his birthday that day or during that weak

[babydeegso28]

OMG.....that guy in the grey shirt beginning ay 2:32 is going to need a neck brace....LOL.

[wcsurface]

For those of you asking about the Jermaine background... I just saw a rerun of this episode last night and they were on Soul Train promoting Jermaine's solo album that had just been released.

[Martinkooooooo1994]

@carnellsbabe The back can say all it wants, Michael Jackson is the clear super star

[mizzgreen1234]

[SurferRosa79]

I imagine the guy in the brown sweater from 2:29 to 2:39 has probably told many many times to his grandchildren how he once was center stage on a Michael Jackson video... I bet those damn kids don't believe him either XD

[SweeneyWearsAllStars]

[HIStoryEMD]

is there any chance he was lip singing cuz hes like 13 here and his voice sounds like it did when he was 11, and i was listining to him in 1972 and he sang it different, just wondering, i love the jackson 5 even if they did lip sing=)

[jkool20]

@HIStoryEMD Yeah they were lip singing, but back then on Soul Train it wasn't uncommon for the musical guest to do that.

[HIStoryEMD]

@jkool20 yh thou so

[niciford92]

@HIStoryEMD they did makes it easier to perform sound great regardless lol there lipsicking sounds better then 99.9% of the shit we here today:)
