  • The Best Jackson album by far!!!!

  • The whole song in falsetto!!! Damn!!! Mike is the shit!!!

  • Man I understand you got love for M.J. but you don't know what Black people struggle with concerning their Identity. Michael Jackson was a Blackman just like millions of others. And when you are a member of someone who is famous' race, you kinda know what make that person tick somewhat. Mike was the Man and that Doctor should be executed for taking Michael Jackson away. Period. That's all I have to say.

  • a chronic medical condition like Vitiligo to even out skin tone, or else you'll have noticeable brown spots and patches on the face and body. Michael himself said he had to use make-up to match the major of his skin tone, so during the early 80s, he had white spots but it was concealed, but as the disease progressed, he match the light spots to conceal the brown spots. Regardless of all of that, he was a Black man, and he proclaimed himself a proud Black man, that's all I needed to hear.

  • @Silly81 Let me make it plain to you Man about Mike changing up this Blackness: 1. Hair straighten with Curls. 2. Extreme Skin Lightened 3. The Changing of the African nose. 4. The reduction of the African Lips. 5. The Changing of the Blackness in the music, from Off the Wall to doing a concert with Slash from Guns & Roses. 6. Never being seen with a Blackwoman except Diana Ross. and 7. Choosing to adopt pure White Children birthed by a WHITE WOMAN! Mike became the WHITEMAN he desired to BE!!!

  • @BLACKFLANIGAN I'm going to break your bullshit down piece by piece. 1. Black people have all forms of hair 2. I just busted that shit down earlier 3. There's no such thing as a "African nose". 4. No such thing as "African lips" (where did you get this coon shit from) 5. Black people invented all genres of music; classical, rock, jazz, pop 6. First girlfriend, Stephanie Mills 7. Where's the proof he "adopted" children? Back up your shit with some facts next time.

  • @Silly81 Excuse me Man but are you even Black? Because you aint gon' find too many Black people that will not say Michael Jackson was tripin' a little bit with his Blackness. And "no such thing as African nose or lips" you sound like someone from outside the Black Race. And if you are NON-Black, next time stay outta Black Folks Business Muthafucka! We made Michael what he was! You got Mike on some Fairy tale shit. Now you think those were really his kids.

  • @BLACKFLANIGAN Listen clown, don't be getting all internet gangsta on me, show the proof, then come talk to me fuckboy.

  • @Silly81 That's what I'm talking about you Outsider. Black Folks know they own people. You aint even one of Us. I'm not even gonna waste my time with a NON-BLACK. Stick to Michael after 1988, cause that's when the Whites and others took him from the Blacks. Mike was one of Us fully till the fame of Thriller made him loose HIS BLACK SELF. And again Dumbfuck stay outta Black Folks Business trick because WE KNOW OUR OWN PEOPLE.

  • @BLACKFLANIGAN Call me an "outsider" all you want, I don't have to prove anything. I just busted your nonsense with actual, logical facts, and you couldn't provide me with one piece of evidence other than what your eyes see, which isn't evidence at all, it's just your observation which doesn't mean shit. I'm still laughing at "African lips", I guess Steven Tyler and Mick Jagger are Black then, lol. You didn't know the man to prove whether he hated his "Black self", so keep your sick opinions.

  • 2 many haters out there ....stop hating and listen.....

  • Cut the Bullshit. Africans long before Michael have been trying to lighten and bleach they're skin. Michael just falls into that same category. He aint no sellout for doing that, but the Black people that Michael comes from are not gonna believe that. We know our own people. And Michael is just a family member that you know has done that to himself. Period. R.I.P. Bruh

  • The autopsy record ends any discussion of Michael "changing" his skin tone from brown to pale white, he did suffer from Vitiligo, it's a medical fact. Folks get skin bleaching and depigmentation of the skin mixed up, skin bleaching is a cosmetic procedure that's done to hide blemishes on the face, it has nothing to do with "hating" yourself, it's about even tone, I used skin lightening products, but you have some that abuses it because of self hate. Depigmentation is lighting the skin due to...

  • Jackie Jackson wrote this song! He actually wrote several classics for the group! Many people mistakenly give micheal jackson too much credit for jackson 5 success. This was truly a joint effort by all members

  • 2 man dislike...

    2 man die tomorrow...

  • @MJsAngelxx plus he there now .......lmto

  • no more believing in every word you saaaaay

  • @blackflanigan thats because he had vitiligo and it kept spreading all over his body. its uncontrollable. michael was very proud of his race. he even said he was.

  • The Jacksons Kings of funk, this combination of Micheals voice and the sweet instruments, man this is raw, I love you Micheal & the boys.

    God bless you.

    Prince.

  • When Michael was pure Black.

  • @BLACKFLANIGAN i hate when people say that Michael was always the same person just because his skin color changed doesnt mean he changed Michael was always that funky little kid we all know and love

  • @vcottier I feel you, alot of Us need to tone down our Blackness, but po' Mike erased too much of his Blackness. And continued further by not granting His Kingdom to kids that looked like Him when he was little!! It's a shame that We depend on the Blackness to get us on Top, but once we get on top, we turn our noses up to that same Blackness.

  • @BLACKFLANIGAN must have been hard for a skin disease to be the most famous black person in the world, then having a skin disease which turns you white...Wow talk about irony. Must have been hard on a person who sees their color change from black to white.and everyone dissing him because they think it was his decision.

  • The bassline is SICK...

  • 2:36 LOVE IT!!! MIKE IS THE KING!!!!!

  • MIchAel Jackson is AMAZING !!! the end... :))

  • thanks for pointing out that Jackie Jackson wrote this one, they all had a hand in writing this album plus they produced it

  • thanks for this song i love it cant stop listenin to it. mike made it like that.

  • Randy's bongoes in the middle are just... wow!

  • @brilliantos That's actually Paulhino Da Costa. Randy does not get an instrumental credit on this song.

  • This Album is a MUST have ..........if you love good music and of course the immortal MJ. can listen to this album until the end of time!!!

  • THIS SONG MAKES ME FEEL LIKE I'M IN SPACE

  • whoever is KILLING the keyboard at the end..

  • @lurker72

    Greg Phillinganes, perhaps, if not Randy.

  • @Fakename70 Yup..  it's Greg

  • Groove.

  • I just loved when he sang with hos brothers :) He always had good back-up, and the bros had some good solos spots after they split too. I REALLY loved when they sang together again at Mike's 30 ann. concert! If only mike was still alive today...i woulda loved to see him sing with his bros again in his would-be "this is it" your....rip bro. mike.

  • That falsetto is orgasmic! I Love It! Its So Sexy

  • thank u for this. never heard it before. this is jammin, i like very much.

  • By far this my favorite jacksons album with or without michael

  • @MJsDangerousGirl look michEAl is the best ok

  • He sounds so sexy singing in his falsetto!

  • @MJsDangerousGirl calm down

  • @MJsDangerousGirl thank you.thank you.thank you for giving the brothers credit that they most definitely deserve.

  • there are too few up temp tunes of jackson's when he sings in falsetto. Of course the big hitters are; Don't Stop 'til You Get Enough and Shake your body (down to the ground) -- this is the one that got away! fabulous voice and beat, with a great video -- ta

  • @emanboogie I totally hear you on that one. Don't Stop and Shake are two of his absolute gems!

  • I bang this song every single day...It is the first song of my workout..first song of the day...It gets my day started :).. Especially since Im a teacher and I have to deal with knuckle head adolescents...hmm, maybe I should play this song at the beginning of the periods to get everything started :)

  • MICHAEL JACKSONS AND THE JACKSONS FOREVER!

  • Lovely one, is the original name of the song.

  • @MJCRAZYFAN219 WTF? Are you nuts? This is the last song on the Triumph album... entitled "Your Ways." "Lovely One" is whole different song.. same album...

  • GOD I LOVE THIS DAMN SONG!!!!! Been listenin' to it everyday!

  • The Jacksons Best Album...

  • fantastico!!!!

  • To me best song on the Album.

  • 1 person incorrectly rated this song

  • THIS IS THE JACKSONS NOT JUST MICHEAL. I KNOW MICHEAL WAS THE STAR BUT GIVE HIS BROTHER PROPS ALSO

  • @montezdariel i agree with you 100%

  • @montezdariel THANK you for saying that. Damn...

  • thats mike not jackie

  • THIS SONG IS A PERFECT EXAMPLE OF THE GROWN MATURE JACKSON SOUND. MICHAEL PUT HIS MAGICAL FALSETTO ON IT AND RANDY KILLS IT AT THE END WITH THE KEYS.

    ON THE DAY THE KING LEFT US I SAT AND LISTENED TO THIS SONG AND ALL I COULD THINK ABOUT WAS HOW THOSE BROTHERS USE TO PUT THERE HEARTS AND SOULS INTO THIS. LONG LIVE THE JACKSONS!

  • @DBANKX23 stone cold right.

  • @DBANKX23 I just to make a note about your quote, it wasn't Randy playing the keys at the end, it was Greg Phillinganes who was a long time collaborator with the Jacksons and Michael as well as Michael's musical director for the Bad Tour, I just wish I could hear the keys clearly on here.

  • @DBANKX23 That's not Randy on keys at the end. It's Greg Phillanganes. Randy doesn't even get an instrumental credit on the song. Plus, Randy was more of a part player than a soloist. Whoever took that solo has some kind of jazz background, which Randy never really demonstrated. Not taking anything away from his amazing musicianship, clearly the most versatile member of the group.

  • wow wat a track

  • nice rythm :D

  • Thats MJ its obvious !!

  • Michael & Marlon look FRICKIN SEXYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

  • Michael is singing lead on this song. He talks about it in Moonwalker, his autobiography. Wondering Who is Jackie and Randy shares vocals on Can You Feel It. It can be confusing because they sound a lot alike using falsetto but all you have to do is check the discographys.

  • @Weezy3685 thanks u weezy3985, ur grand!

  • who's singing the lead???

  • hes so sexy when he wispers in this song!!!!

  • @fluffypillow916 No-one can sing like Michael did. He makes every song so special and yes he sounds very sexy when he wispers! Michael forever!

  • mj's best album non, they were all number 1 at one given time

  • Yep.

  • Oh yes, this jam still rocks!!!

  • The TRIUMPH album is just as good as OFF THE WALL to me. It is a Must Have album!!!!

  • you keep saying girl that i don't love ya

    nights crying thinking of ya

    i don't understand your ways

  • Luv Michael's falsetto;♥

    (:

  • funky beat, i luv it

    = D

  • The king of falsetto. These cats ARE the epitome funk R&B/Funk. Please support them and watch their show on AETV Sunday.

  • HE HE HEEEEEE LOV THAT PART

  • Comment removed

  • I loveee Triumph,what an awesome album. <3

  • Luv this song<3

    So chill.

  • Destiny and Triumphare the best Jackson albums in my opinion. Every single song is a hit!

  • Agreed! Both albums are incredible

  • Yes they are great. They are up there with Off the Wall and Thriller IMO.

  • yes, goin places, moving violation and dancing machine were not all that. skywriter was pretty decent. get it together, too.

  • @Blacula1973 I completely agree. Best years of the Jacksons and MJ - 1978 to 1983. Best MJ albums Off the wall and Thriller and best Jacksons albums are Destiny and Triumph

  • @dbastard1977 yeah, triumph and destiny are masterpieces.

    and the pre -"king of Pop" Michael era was musically better. I still love the Bad album which came out in 87, though

  • Then you get me walkin' my way back to you

    You say you love me then leave me blue

    You break my heart, then you say that we're through

    But it's O.K.

    You're no good

    I don't understand your ways

    One more fool just to love and groove ya

    That's all that he want to do to ya

    I don't unserstand your ways

  • Comment removed

  • What have I done to deserve this madness

    All that I feel is sadness

    I don't understand your ways

    You keep me walkin' my way

    back to you

    You say you love me and let's start anew

    You break my heart, then say we're through

  • Comment removed

  • You can't say that I don't love ya Nights cryin' thinkin' of ya I don't understand your ways They say true love is forever gladness All that I feel is sadness I don't understand your ways You keep me walkin' my way back to you You say you love me then leave me so blue You break my heart, then you say that we're through But it's O.K. I don't understand your ways
  • I effing love the Triumph album.They were the black Beatles! almost sold as much as them. This and "Give it Up" are my favorites. I got them on repeat a lot lol. I love that part when he says "You're no good!i dont understand your ways!"

  • Jackie Jackson is the truth! Great song by him!

  • this song has very dark and haunting feel to it esp towards the end but the production was flawless like Mike was chaneling that physical feeling of Heartbreak...dude was a vocal genius...

  • Este disco esta muy bueno

  • This was my first ever album and I still love it. Funny to say it's under-rated considering the copies it sold and the singles it spawned, but I agree with Kelvin, people don't put this up there with Michael's best albums, but they should because it deserves it

  • @Parrock1 Maybe I'm nitpicking.. but it's not MICHAEL'S album. It's the Jacksons..  people keep overlooking his brothers. They ALL played a vital role in making the group what it was.

  • @megavega4 you have misinterpreted what I was trying to say. I know this is The Jacksons - in fact, Triumph is the first album I ever got. However, the production and musical styles of albums like this one and off The Wall e.g.,closely matched each other, with the brothers helping Michael with his solo albums. It is entirely fair of people to compare the status and fame attributed to, for example, off the Wall and Triumph which, after all, were released fairly close together.

  • @Parrock1 Oh, ok. I wasn't sure how you meant that. People CONSTANTLY go on and on about MJ and overlook the brothers. I was just advocating for them. But I also don't know if I agree with you in terms of production. His solo albums were done by Quincy Jones, who had a slicker production style. The Jacksons stuff is more raw and funky. The only common thread I hear is MJ's voice, because they were all done within a 5 year time frame and his voice was similar on all of them.

  • @megavega4 We'll have to agree to disagree re. the production. I think the funk sound on the two albums is not that far apart. Obviously Michael sang more ballads on his solo albums, but if you asked most people who are not sure, whether Whether Working Day and Night and Shake Your Body Down were on an MJ or Jacksons album, you'd get a lot of wrong answers.

  • @megavega4 incidentally, before you pull me up on it, I know Shake your Body Down was on Destiny but I use it because the two tracks make a good comparison of what MJ and the Jacksons were putting out in the late 70's / early 80's.

  • This is a great, and I think, overlooked album.

  • What a hot bassline......That's what I liked about the Jacksons, you can hum a bassline and know exactly what song it is, that's what made them so funky.....

  • I'm 47 years old and have this lp. It was during a great run by the Jacksons feat. Micheal.The great keyboard and piano work of Greg Philinganes made this album a true gem. Every track is classic!!!

  • Man! I didn't know that so many people dug Triumph. I had just got out of boot camp in 1980 and I heard Lovely One playing at the Great Lakes train station. Bought it and have enjoyed it ever since. Many memories flood through my mind hearing these brothers put it down together. I know Mike probably had future projects in his head, but I hoped that he would get back with his brothers ( they were professionals also). Listen from 3:10 how he goes back and forth with the melody. Outstanding

  • I loved this album in '80, and I was 7!!....lol. Been a fan since '77.

  • Another reason to miss Michael.....

  • who is the lead singer on this is it Mike?

  • yes it's michael.

  • @dlsms I thought it was Jackie

  • @dlsms micheal

  • I really love when Mike sings in his falsetto...

  • @Aciremet Hell to the yeah, I sooo love when he does it!

  • another excellent song

  • I luv this song(:

    <3

  • This song has always been my favorite since the ALBUM's (yes, I'm going far back) inception. I love the faint "Hee hee hee" at the very beginning. Can you hear it? Listen closely.

  • I called this

    Dont Stop Till you Get Enough part 2

    cause its the only other time he does whole song singing like that

  • Lol..first of all Realmthr..Switch wasn't just some group..... Switch was one of biggest groups of early 8oties....lol

  • I know his brothers really miss him. The whole family lost a star.

  • insuperable hay muchas y buenas canciones de los jackson pero esta tiene algo especial

  • Damn this shit Is hott my favorite song by tha jackson [Rip] mj we love you.1

  • nathan watts got the credit on that bassline, but it's actualy Randy " typical Randy Jackson bassline

  • have you ever noticed that boogie nights has the exact same bassline as off the wall?

  • yeah!!! rod templeton from heatwave produced that song and several others on that album

  • @moonwalkn1 Same songwriter.. Rod Temperton. You have GREAT ears !!

  • @piper21dunk It's actually not. Randy NEVER played bass with the group. He's seen mimicking playing one in the "Blame It On The Boogie" video, but this is absolutely Nathan Watts playing his P-Bass. He had a very distinct sound when he recorded with The Jacksons. It's possible that Randy might have given him some ideas, as they all had a hand in the production. But it's not Randy.

  • True indeed! Im a roll another doobie & listen closely.

  • If you listen closely,you can hear the birth of Thriller.....or maybe its the joint im blazin?!?

  • Actually, I think "This Place Hotel" is the birth of Thriller considering MJ wrote, composed and arranged that song! and it sounds more like Thriller.

  • I agree, the Micheal Jackson sound

  • OMG!!! I hear it!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Love this song, rememnber dancing to it when I came home from school!

  • Jermaine was out producing some group called Switch.

  • Geez, these brothers are so talented! Have you heard some of Randy's stuff? If not you should! I wish Jackie did more music too!

  • Multitalented!

  • Impeccable!!!

  • deeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep lyrics

  • Great song written by Jackie.

  • Jackie wrote a solid hit and Michael did a damn good job singing it

  • Jackie is genius!

  • I love this song!!

  • one of my favorite cuts from triumph. you guys need to checkout thats what you get for being polite from the destiny lp.

  • totally agree i think that's what u get for being polite is very underated

  • Mine 2 Foreal...The Whole Album was bad!

  • some people think jackie is singing this, its not cant you tell its michael by his voice

  • Masterful and contagious.....in one word a Masterpiece

  • this song is tight

  • I used to cut a rug with my momma on this jam.. Got me grooving in my chair here at work.. When I had my own kid, I put this song on for him & it still has the same effect.. We are still cutting rugs..

  • RIDICULOUS!TIMES INFINITE

  • Great

  • jackie did his thing when he wrote this jacksons classic

  • de la bombe

  • fuck me this album is sick!!!!

  • ok,i tohught you meant jackie sung this.

  • i`m pretty sure this is michael.

  • Yes, this was MICHAEL the only song that was not michael on this album was called one more chance and that was sung by Randy!!

  • i think one more chance was on victory

  • it is.

  • Now thats Michael. It sounds just like him on Don't stop til you get enough. The only song that doesn't feature Michael on triumph is wonder who I think Randy sings lead on that. Marlon shares lead on give it with Michael.

  • jackie sings wondering who.
