The jackson 5 I am love (the long version!!!!!!!!)

[DJM442]

Love. This. Fucking. Song.

[overtime2005]

@CatnipandClaws It may not be raining but it is a bright sun shinny day. ;)

[faith2xxx]

Sweet lord, the musical arrangements in this are TIGHT!! Unsurpassed!!

[Mikefoxx55]

I remember this from the house parties we USED to have b4 all this shootin @ parties and shit

[funklord82]

no words

[CatnipandClaws]

but..it's not raining..



[ImSeeFly]

What a beautiful song

by the way 2:26 is the sample atmosphere used for their song "Between the Lines"

[MrPfunk2000]

Man....Some J-5 FUNK!!!!

[BumpyJonas74]

They showed more vocal and musical talent in this one song that most of the r&b groups of today show in their entire career. I hate to be rude but it is what it is.

[nycfunk]

Wow...This is a different mix than the one I have the 45. Great song. I can hear the progressive writing going on. During this peiod fusion jazz was the rage. I can hear the fusion influence in the writing and performance of this song. Jermaine is simply awsome on this track. His interplay with Michael is pure brilliant!

[shaaronie]

Damn! I forgot how much I liked the Jackson 5 after Michael made his solo. This song was and still is the truth!

[davisismail1comcast]

i forgot how beautiful a voice Germaine has also, and this is one of my all time Jackson favorites, underrated if you ask me, except by true Jackson aficionado's.

[djames17101]

Great comment johnnyjaywick

[jonnyjaywick]

michael didnt die he just went on vacation he'll be back with presents for all of us

[tawheedization]

we have rub out of tie cause God is love which marvin said but they tried to control them but in the end michael said to the earth the earth song and no one or thing can ever out do that

[iluvmyboba]

GOD IS LOVE. That's why Michael Jackson even existed.

[Hunniiluvsdajacksons]

[DaveWollenberg]

Love how Jermaine took the ballad part, and, Michael sang the disco section. They hit #15 in Billboard, 3-22-75. Thanx for postin' the full version. God bless ya, for doin' that, my dear!

[jai0701]

this is amazing... i feel like im on another planet

[tsrun527]

I would jam to this track every morning to wake up for work for the 2 months before MJ died. It was really weird for me when he passed cuz I was really start to dig into their stuff. J5 is so powerful and glorious!

[fluffypillow916]

wow this is the awesomest j5 song i've ever heard :DD rock on jermaine and mikey!! :D

[StarsInMyHands]

This song is so phenomenal.

[JayZilla306]

[chocolatethunder651]

I'm Only 21 and i'm listening to this type of music. The 70s had great music, the jackson 5 were a big part of that. the artists today need to take notes from the old school because this is how its done. RIP MICHAEL LUV U!!!!!!!

[noonee101]

MAN!!! JERMAINE IS A GREAT SINGER JUST AS GOOD AS MIKE!!!!!!!!!HE COULD SING TO ME ALL NIGHT LOL!!!!!!!!!

[Nezekeh]

THIS SHIT PLAYLIST GAVE ME A FUCKING HEADACHE FROM THE FIRST SONG, IT IS ALL PURE SHIT.

[endless441]

The Jacksons are the best group ever and that include the Beatles too

[ABCHealTheWorld]

Wow, I've never heard this before. Cool song. I just read the comment at the top about "this song is the ^%it" .. haha .. that's funny. When I first started on youtube .. I was thrown aback by that expression also .. then I found out it's a GOOD thing ! LOL. (haha, I didn't know what "LOL" meant either .. or lmao .. or stfu .. haha) !

[rosss1959]

@Crazynaptownchick. I know it was 9 months ago but I'm just reading your reply to the person who thought you were puttin my boys down. (calling them the sh--) lol I thought your reply was perfect. they definitely need to get out more. Also just checked out your favorites and upload list. Nice selection. Peace

[sierria64]

STILL MY JAM

[body5436]

this song rules the retro disco circuit!

[thesatindoll11]

Wow this is a great song. I never heard it before. Added it to my favorites. You are right CrazyNaptownchick, they are the SH**!

[JrSakura]

I really think this track is SO underrated. This is one of the hottest J5 tracks to be recorded.

[oneandonlylastson]

I totally agree I bought the Cd the greatest hits and after I heard this track I fell in love with this song!

[JrSakura]

I really think this track is SO underrated. This is one of the hottest J5 to be recorded.

[8mycrab]

I KNEW it was Jermaine. Jermaine did the recording. Marlon did it on some concerts that are on here after Jermaine left the group. That's what made me doubt myself. (As if it really matters that much). But we ARE talking Jackson info here! LOL!

[8mycrab]

I thought this was Jermaine at first but it's Marlon. He sounds great. And I LOVE this song.

Thanks for posting it. I don't know how many realize that The Jacksons were the first real boy band. They sang AND danced.

[Jamal249999]

Krumbsnatcha - Closer To God

[sbrownie]

brilliance...one of the BEST Jacksons song...underrated/unknown...in­stant classic from the day it was recorded!

[TheeIttyBittyPretty1]

COMEBACK MICHAEL COMEBACK, THIS IS WHERE YOU BELONG <3 <3 <3

[kidcalabria]

I had this single as a kid, what a great song; I always loved the way their lyrics seem to always switch at will between Love as "God's love" and the sexual, romantic, physical love of human beings (and of most Pop songs)... it has a killer guitar solo too, and it goes from Gospel-tinged Soul to Funk and Hard Rock.... it was the era of Sly & The Family Stone-style Psychedelic Soul... shame there isn't a proper video for the "long version"...

Great upload, thank you so much for posting this

[Lavxtee]

OH GOD this is just the most amazing song...

un f ing believable genius...

that voice, that guitar, those lyrics...

another world...

YOW!

[debbietristan100]

Love this song, haven't heard it for sooo long. All the Jackson bros sound great, but when Michael's voice comes thru so pure, I get chills. Kind of strange, seeing MJ holding the umbrella in this pic. Who knew that years later he would have to carry one around to protect his skin from the sun.

[CmdrRipley]

best song ever made!!!!

[rachel7036]

I found this on a podcast...I had never heard it prior to that....excellent....glad I found it here...

[TheAudivisioner]

This was the J5 at their highest creative peak at Motown, who were reluctant to doing concept songs.

THis song beat the odds, and showed their could do more than be cosmetically cute, which plagued most teen idols.

[captainkill1]

when the jackson 5 went from pop to pure art and poetry i think.

[MrBadgirl25]

nice picture wish i could see all of jackie

[ekay917]

This song is so awesome! Definitely an underrated song.

[Magsy17]

I think they mean they are "The SHIT" meaning "The Bomb" you know "Cool"

[RiverJordan09]

I sure knew what you meant when you said they are the SH**! They're the DOPE and MJ was pure BAD, too--the baddest eva! I'll never stop missing him.

[CaptainDeez1]

Who cares how old you are or if you hate today's music?! There's god music from every era. Sit back and just enjoy good music.

[ericdapugi]

1974, man! WooHOOOOO!!!!!!

[agapereign]

Thank you so much for uploading the long version!! This is how I listen to it when I play the record!

[BLAKPEARL69]

The baddest group of all time. Mikes voice is like oohh wee aoww hee woo lol.

[2beasty4public]

@tazza82002 he siad they are the sh** not they are sh**

[billsarebullyesyes]

i haven't heard this in yrs. thanks 4 posting :)

[fancy7nancy]

my key unlocks your hearrrrrt!

[saladmaster64]

tazza82008, CrazyNaptownchick said the Jacksons are the SH**, meaing she loves their music. Not meaing she hates them. I grew up listening to them. My cousin played this song at his house for the 4th of July holiday and It almost brought tears to my eyes. So many memories came to mind of having family and friend to my house back in the day listening to this song and other by the J5. Very talented family.

[c4385z]

MICHAEL R.I.P.

[bouchambowie]

pure magic

[MsBmatos]

One of the best songs ever!!!!

[leviruffin]

hey, the name of the song was wild flower....just sayin'...in a minute,

[leviruffin]

hey, i'm not trying to make any waves, but this track sound a lot skylark's let her cry for she's a lady.....just sayin'

[brizikke1]

my fave song 'bout J5.....awesome!!!!!

[nessiecat7]

Hah--that's an oddly prophetic picture you put up for this great song ..., and yeah! - the older body just jumps right back into groovin' on these hot soul fusion sounds of my youth!

[2GainWisdom]

Comprehension, the ability to decifer and understand - tazza82002, you obviously didn't understand what 'poster' was saying - and who would post a video song that they didn't like - Definitely one of the Jackson's best ever!

[tazza82002]

whats with the person who posted this??? if they think the J5 are sh**

which by the way crazynaptownchic they are definently not sh**

i dont know how people can be so judgemental, y cant people just appreciate michaels work for once

i mean i do know there are alot of people out there who do appreciate him and his work and i am one of them

[CrazyNaptownchick]

@tazza82002 dude that is slang.....I didnt say anything bad about them saying they are the shit is the same as saying they are great!!!!!!!!

WOW!!!!!!!!!! u need to get out more where are you from

[kalpal67]

@CrazyNaptownchick not to be racist but i bet tazza is white lol!

[fluffypillow916]

@CrazyNaptownchick where the fuck did you get the first pic???!! soo sexy!! need 2 have it!! please tell me!! asap :)))

[tsrun527]

haha readin this was a riot. tell that imbecile off! and naptown represent! damn i love this song and you for posting it and being from my hometown. keep up the good work doin what you're doin

[CrazyNaptownchick]

@tazza82002 if you like the jackson 5 check out my other page .....AIMEEDUS I have some rare jackson 5 songs posted

[6DERR1CK9]

@tazza82002 you may want to re-read the info.

They said, "THE shit."

Not straight up shit. So they're saying that the J5 are great. :p

[lovemcxxx]

they said j5 are the shit dat means they are good

[RiisuKun]

@tazza82002 No....he wrote, THE SHIT. Not Shit....and if you don't know the difference..."the shit" is like....cool, or good, or they rock. It's a compliment, not a diss.

[PRINCESSROCKYT]

@tazza82002 - Um , tazz, I believe the person who posted this video said The Jacksons are THE shit. There is a difference lol. Meaning, they are all that! ;-) Read it again.......

[x713HTX713x]

@tazza82002

Lol the poster said the Jackson 5 are THE shit.

Meaning in a vague sense, they're good, awesome whatever.

It's slang. I thought people knew that.

[MrEssarai]

@tazza82002 the person who posted it said they are THE shit ... it's a slang term which signifies they are something really great, not that they are shit. ...

[Karen822]

@tazza82002 That was a compliment not an insult. Read it again.

[abclonts]

@tazza82002 the person who posted this said J5 are "the SH**" which means they like them!!!

[lostn1984]

@tazza82002 believe it or not when the poster writes " the Jacksons are the sh*t" he means it as a good thing...as in "they are the sh*t everyone should be listening to". ...trust, its a good thing. its a new age slang kinda of thing, but it proves this music knows now age boundaries

[Kell1295]

@tazza82002 They are the sh**! always will be. They surpass all other groups. <3

[blaqmarc]

Remember listening to music in the dark watching, the EQ lights dance to the beat with the window fan blowing. Drinking Kool-Aid eating syrup sandwiches, lying on the album covers that were spread across the floor you turn up the volume so you can feel the bass vibrations.

[badgraciebabes]

One of my fave J5 songs ever-a masterpiece. :)

[NoarNoir]

IMO: The best part is when MJ sings@4:53 I'm the answer to the question My key unlocks your heart I'm your friend and your lover Your sister and your brother Jermain @5:49 Your wish is my command Let's get together People take my hand Let's get together Love love love love love love AHHHHHHHHHHH, you got to love classic, &wow Funk brothers you got 2 love them too.

[BlackPride951]

My Goodness,I love this song...this isn't old Music,it's REAL Music,It's so unfortunate that this generation has to grow up with a Majority of Mainstream crap that the so-called "Artists" don't put any Time,heart,talent or effort into,for real...and the majority don't even know what Music is anymore,it's very unfortunate;most don't know what there missing...For sure the 60s,70,80s,&90s kept it real all the way(Some of my absolute favorite decades for Music,Soul& Culture).............

[GHOSTJOKERZ]

heeeearrddd that my brotha!!!

[The2300jacksonstreet]

This is one of the best songs in the whole world !

[terranbiggers]

jermaine my favorite jackson the cutest i wonder what happened to him and hazel

[terranbiggers]

jermaine the underdog my favorite jackson he sounds so good and in my opinion he was the cutest

[blaqmarc]

you know what sad you try to get the younger generation to listen to this kind of real music, and they can't listen to no more than 2 minutes or less. They have no idea what creativity is all about, I'm so gald I'm reaching my 40's I wouldn't want to be young in this time and decade that's live off of disrespect and laziness.

[blaqceeza]

brother marc you speak the truth! how can music progress when there is no respect for originals. I've always respected rock for the fact that the fans that love the genre always cherish it's legends

[Dustinluva07]

I'm 20 and I love this song and people like Al Green, Chaka Khan and Marvin Gaye. I agree about what you mean about the age and times but not all youth are the same.

[blaqmarc]

I apologize if I have offended you or anyone younger it's just that, as an older man now I see why my mother told me that one day you're gonna see what real talent is and who's a copycat. Today's case we all see every young man or girl singing like Prince or Michael doing their moves instead of inventing their own, James Brown said that of Michael and Prince they took from him and as they grew so did their own unique way of dancing. That's what I meant about the laziness of this time and decade.

[Dustinluva07]

Oh no you didn't offend me I understand what you mean completely:)

[tralala08x]

I love old music. I especially have time for Jackson 5, and Michael.

[smellyfish555]

I agree. I'm 17 and I'm one of the very few youngsters that listens to music from the 60s 70s and 80s. I hate this era. Music produced today makes my ears bleed. I really do belong in the 70s and not here, it's the worst feeling knowing there's nothing I can do about it :\

PS this song is one of my favourites :)

[jaegermexman]

I can't agree with you more. I'm a product of the 70's and 80's music and I know it was the best eras for music. Stuff that's out today I can't see being classic 20-30 years from now, not well produced. And trust me, I love all types of music but really can't get into whats out now. There are a couple exceptions but gone are the jacksons, chaka's, sade's, isley's, etc etc etc

[GHOSTJOKERZ]

my dad got me into this music starting back when i was a lil boy, trust im a fan!!

[Karas179]

@smellyfish555 For once there is someone else. I totally agree with you on everything u just said.

[smellyfish555]

@Karas179 :)

[ooowatzthat]

@smellyfish555

Man stfu and enjoy the music no one cares about your egotistical age

[smellyfish555]

@ooowatzthat lol, they obviously do, check out how many TU's I have for expressing the truth about music!

[JessOvBHE]

@smellyfish555 haha me too, im 15 and this is one of my favorite songs. I even have this song on dancing machine on vinyl lol

[MrPetetheWheat]

@smellyfish555 actually im 17 too and i know probably 'bout 300 people that i see weekly that love music from the 60s 70s and 80s. maybe it's location but tons of youngsters love this music considering probably 40% of the people from my school listen to it daily. and it's a 4A so it's not that small

[barton1941]

@blaqmarc I couldn't have said it better myself!

[ciscoconga1]

bad ass jam

[melink]

dope track!

[rosiej1998]

this song has magical powers it pulls me in it's kinda like voodoo it's just so UGH i looooove this song

[bellacharo]

Jermaine is such a great singer... Forgive me but I always liked him better than Michael... I never went for skeaky sounds. I like soft and sexy like Jermaine... he can sing to me all day and all night...

[benhwa]

The drummer went crazy in this sound. The hell with todays music. This is what music should sound like.

[sistalinda]

My favorite group of all time.

[scoopv]

this is what the JACKSON BROTHERS sounded like just befor they left motown, and what one some song that Michael did not sing the lead. its interesting. DON'T count the Jackson Brothers out.

scoopv

[qpalzmxnskwieudjcnvb]

just wondered y is mike holdin the umbrella?? what if it rains??

[TheSkete]

@qpalzmxnskwieudjcnvb

He was under an umbrella outdoors until the day he died.Where've you been????????

[bayouchoupique]

I LOVE this song!!!!! This song should be played on the radio today! I play this song over and over in my car. Yes, sexy Jermaine sings lead and super fine Michael sings towards the end.

[mscjamillabrown]

This one would have been nice to see them play this live. I love that drummer. Can you hear the individual voices of the Jackson 5?

[danielsch13011984]

wow crazy sound. this is music people! Great!!

[daneby1]

an amazing track RIP mj

[stephystills]

Another SWEET one-- You got the goods right here!

[conficted]

i love you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!

[conficted]

i know i am the biggest fan off the j5 i love the way they sing ,dance everything about them kisses from marga from hilversum

[conficted]

ik ben al meer dan 30 jaar fan van the jacksons maar deze is zooooo vrezelijk mooi ik blijf rillingen krijgen xx with love from your biggest fan marga from hilversum

[blkwidow409]

i have a few favorites but nothing tops this one

love it love it

[sistalinda]

I love this song, and this group. What more can I say?

[kaiylahani]

club shelter classic !!!

thx 4 the memories !!

[dieudonneMC]

shelter!!!! this song is phat! Is that tito on lead?

[CrazyNaptownchick]

nope the first verse is Jermaine and the second is Mike

[cornerstone1019]

Jermaine had the best permed afro in 1974. The Jacksons out did them selves on this progressive rock record. Their performance on the Cher show put them over the top.

[useverlastin]

Wow! You are sho' nuff taking me back. We would be at a dance and we would be slow dancing,then all of a sudden had to break out ad do the robot or something(haha). Those were the good old days. I am also from Nap. I have checked out several of your videos,and you have done a wonderful job. I think any song where Jermaine led was my fav

[CrazyNaptownchick]

thank you I have another page if you really like the the jacksons just type in

aimeedus into the search engine

[jhgfdsslm]

I like the beat!! and the words to the song very original.:)

[brucktroll]

I like this. Never figured that the 5 could have a "progressive" rock streak in them.
