[afrosensuous]

YOU ARE LISTENING TO A SOUL ARTIST BEFORE HE BECAME A POP VOCALIST. BACK WHEN THIS SONG CAAME OUT, HE DIDN'T HAVE ALL THE FANS HE GOT WHEN THRILLER DROPPED. I GOT ALBUMS...ORIGINALS...BACK WHEN FOLKS WAS STILL WWITH ELVIS.

[tatianaforeverful]

[powderdd]

Out of all the great questions asked in western philosophy throughout the centuries, all can be summed up in the simple form of, "how funky is your chicken?"

[msfeliciam]

This is THE FUNK!

[3Gabbygurl4]

Im a 90's baby but i love 80's music as long as its jackson 5 or michael jackson. I like the other music but i cant believe michael is gone! ugh its too sad 2 believe. I got home from a friends house and my mom told me and at first i was like "haha nice joke" but she was like no its serious and it was on CNN and i went up to my room and listened to you are not alone and i just feel to pieces. I havent cried that much in my life

[jackson512255]

[scottlenz64]

[tywill10]

Of course Rufus Thomas originated the Funky Chicken. Michael is just asking "How funky is it?"

[blackspace007]

1:40 !!!! Is that the early MJ shamone I'm hearing? "Sha'mone" I heard it, I swear. Listen

[iPotionX]

C'Mon

[HypeRhymz]

it sounds like it alot, but he didn't say it.

[HeruOfKemet]

That drummer is kickin' ass on this track! whew!

The Funky Chicken was a dance we did as kids. I'm 50 years old and TRUST me, we did it!

[xNarrada]

lol, very funky (L)

[AAMLfan]

Love this song.

But seriously, what IS this "chicken" that's being referred to? LOL :D

[Bassplayershadow2023]

It's a dance we did as kids. Don't know how old you are, but I'm 50 and it was HUGE back in the day.

[AAMLfan]

Aah...Thanks for explaining that, mate. :)

[flashframe7777]

And the Jackson Five often performed it as part of their dance routine - its the part where they flap their folded arms while opening their legs.

[soln4suhreborn]

Co-written by Willie "I Choose You" Hutch.

One of the funkiest songs the J5 ever made.

RIP Michael Joseph Jackson and Willie McKinley Hutchison.

[j1008h]

[Salmoore1]

This is true soul music at its greatest...I'm eighteen and I love 60's and 70's soul music. It's just so real and had so much raw talent ( not so much today). Man, I wish I was around back then...I always felt more connected to the music and pride of that time...and yeah MJ was like the sexiest cat out there...love him!!! God Bless you Michael Jackson!!!

[prettyboy0909]

There hasnt been anything good in the entertainment world since 2002... i doubt there ever will be

[Kell1295]

You were the first boy to make us scream,

the first boy to enter our dreams,

the first boy to whom we gave our hearts,

our love for you will? never part.

Thank you Ms. Katherine for allowing us to love him.

[dramaqueen4427]

that is so true kell1295.... ur making me cry now

[kqueen777]

We will never hear his voice in this way, shape or form again. Michael I will always have a place for you in my heart!! xxooo!!

[Kell1295]

What I do not understand is why he isn't Going back to Indiana? That is his home.

I will miss him dearly.

[Mahogany1974]

You think he would be buried in Indiana.

[Kell1295]

You wee the first boy to make us scream, the first boy to enter our dreams, the first boy to whom we gave our heart, undying love for you Michael.

[soln4suhreborn]

The first time I heard this, I was a kid about 6 yrs. old! I visited my cousin in East St. Louisand he had the "Third Album" and I remember the main songs he would play were this cut,"Reach In" , "Darling Dear",and "Can I See You In Thre Morning.

It's so hard to believe,Mike is no longer with us....Damn! :-(

[sunshinescreen17]

what talent!!

[LOQUITAA2]

it really pisses me off how the Osmans and the Partrige family, and even The Brady's made it off of the Jackson, because the Era didnt want to show little black kids singing.  So racist back then, It still is even with a black president.

[mvp822]

You can't knock the Partridge Family because they were loosely based on the Cowsills, a real-life family group. The Cowsills had hit songs on the charts before the Jackson 5 recorded with Motown. The Jacksons also had two TV shows in the 1970s, one of them animated.

[mattman747]

this was one of my favorite J-5 songs as a kid! had'nt heard it in years. this brings back memories.

[sactiger]

DAMN! I forgot how funky this song really is! Woohooo!! Go, J5!! :)

[iAlanah]

TiTo <ll3

[joecarmouche]

Thanks for posting! This was one of my favorite early J5 tunes. I used to love to dance to this. Definitely funky! Tito's bass vocals were uniquely funky. Thanks for the memories!

[KarenPG621]

that bass voice is Tito!!!

[cornerstone1019]

I sampled this record when I used to do production. This record had some funk to it. Jermaine's rhaspy voice with Tito singing offkey in the backround made it a funk classic..The Third Album is their best work.

[aimeedus]

I love this song.my mama used to do the funky chicken lol!!!!!! brings back memories

[shugg28]

Sorry, I found it.

[shugg28]

I would like to hear Mama's Pearl. Thank-you
