There was two young ladies sitting next to me one passed the f**k out and the other literally jumped from our first balcony row down to the main floor and made a mad dash along with hundreds of others to the stage!!! Pure pandemonium!!! Aaaah...memories....
Jermaine was voted teenage idol of the year, best dressed man and best Afro. He was also thought to have the cutest nose. Funny how MJ got teased about his nose later on.
@Nickleby2 yep got full of hiself anf listen to people who didn`t have is best interest at heart jus wanted the loot. lots of people get lost when they walk away from the family base.(so sad)
@2lovemarc that`s true. got to be true to self(and that definitely means family)cause that`s where you come from( jermaine is under rated he is a excellent singer and plays lot of instruments. peace am out
Jermaine was suppossed to be the next Marvin Gaye but Berry Gordy was too involved in movies to promote him right. But Jermaine Jackson was still that dude, the one girls wanted to marry and dudes wanted to be lik
@MrTremoney718 I agree.....i have always felt that Jermaine Jackson is pretty much the only performer he had that he didnt handle correctly.....ESPECIALLY after he showed loyalty and stayed with Motown
Young people and kids know absolutely nothing about the Jackson 5, do they? I'm glad they are getting to see this. They have no idea that Jermaine was the original lead singer. But, none of them were born when the Jackson 5 were popular so, it's ancient history they're only learning since Michael's death.
The jackson 5 were as big as the Beatles worldwide, they were called The Black Beatles. And Jermaine Jackson and Jackie Jackson were the 2 most famous members of the group, not Michael. He was cute, yes, but it was Jermine that girls wanted to be with and boys wanted to be like. When Jermaine married Hazel Gordy it was televised across the world and billed as a royal wedding. Marvin Gaye was so jeallous that he didn't attend the wedding. He thought Jermaine was taking over his spot.
It says Jermaine in the background, because back then in the early 70s, Jermaine was a pretty big solo star as well as Michael. Almost the entire Soul Train episode was a feature on Jermaine, who had a couple of big solo hits at the time. He was the Jackson 5's next biggest draw, next to Michael, of course. But the GROUP as a whole was BIG. Every girl back then, including me, had her favorite. Mine was Jackie!
jermaine song this in concert in 1972 Dec. Mike was hogging the show and Jermaine said "I got do my thang " and broke off into this and the GIRLS went CRAZY.you had to be there to see the J5 was the it.
@Unique9773 if u had married him then, u wouldn't be married to him now! jermaine is a womanizer, that's why he and hazel is not still married, he is married to a taliban now!
@Unique9773 Yup! And you would have had this fine man and 9 million girls would be hating on you like thay are hatin on Halima, Ms so called Taliban is an Al( I got oil money, honey )Saud. You know Saudi Royal family, Now If I was her, I'd get his kids so that she can stop all this" Baby Mama Drama these haters be spoutin!
I love this song. @ 1:41, Michael was so cool how he broke off from his brothers and started doing his own thing. Jackie and Marlon was looking like "WTF!" LOL, that was so cute!
I remember seeing that show when it first aired. We had a house full of people and everybody including the adults were are yelling "Go'head Michael!" Lol!
@almondy1963 Our family did the same thing as yours, lol!! We were saying "Go on Michael, with yo' bad self!!," Little did we know that he was really going to be BAD with a BAD album,BAD mini-movie, and a HUGE BAD tour!!!
@almondy1963 - I know ,Michael look like he just felt power of SOUL.Soul music is a POWERFUL thing and he was FEELING IT.That or the original steps were just too boring for him.Go watch "'I want you back Jackson 5 Soul Train" and see what Jackie does to him @ 0;10 in that video.
Yes! That's how is was back in the day, even on their celebrated Xmas Album. Different lead singers. During this stage, Jermaine was the man, He was very successful on his own too. Only him Michael and their sister Janet made it big.
@JakDaniels Yes, Jermaine is a great singer as well. I guess that michael was the lead singer because people identified more with a cute little boy than a teenager. Michael wouldn't have minded though.
Check out Michael at 1:41. He's grooving so hard, he forgets he's not the lead guy on this song! He falls back into formation with Jackie and Marlon around 1:55. LOL!
Totally! Also this is one of Jermaine best recording in my opinion and if mike had a choice i'm sure he would have been down on that dance floor dancing with the lady in the white ruffle pants suit with the long black hair...he can't take his eyes off of her. hehe
Gosh another favorite from Jermaine. it looks like for a moment that Michael lost it and dance independently from his brothers, until Jackie gave him the look. Sweet Michael, this was Jermaine moment.
Man, I love this song! I have it on my ipod and I watch the performance so I can get the steps right to imitate them. lol Jermaine, to me was always the second best looking (after Michael) and has the most talent (after Michael) and he really is underated. They are all great and very good looking. Now THIS, is music. I think, if Janet can't do it, that Jermaine should keep his brother's legacy alive for the sake of the JACKSON DYNASTY. I love you Michael....
This was J5 when they ruled the world. Jermaine's performance is unbeliebable. And as powerful as Michael Jackson was, he never upstaged Jermaine. Michael was the epitome of the professional entertainer.
I'm only 25 and even though Jermaine's music came out way before my time, I am a big fan of his music. I hope he comes out with new music in the future. I'm tired seeing him go on TV defending Michael and his family. I want to see him up on stage and singing some good songs.
Love this song Jermaine. I'm 45 and have been a rabid J5 fan since 69. I think I know why Michael and Jermaine were so successful. It's cause they both sing with feeling well beyond their years and Jermaine had the soulful 'old man' sound to counteract michael's souful 'young man/kid' voice. Hey, listen to Sugar Daddy, Love U Save etc. - that dynamic is clearly evident.
@wrldgornd Don Cornelius did an interview with Jermaine on this episode of Soul Train and at the time people were saying he was the second coming of Marvin Gaye
Michael was not the only Jackson with tremendous talent. While I love Michael, I have always believed that one of his biggest mistakes was leaving the Jackson Five. Jermaine Jackson, featured here, was one of the most prodigious talents of the Jackson family. May younger fans find out about the talent of Jermaine LaJuane Jackson as those of us who remember the Jackson Five have always known!!
idk about that,jermaine made the biggest mistake in my mind.michael left he became a even bigger legend,but jermaine didnt have many hits after he left them,and i'm a huge fan of his work
Yes, Michael was missing his older brother. But let's face it he was newly wed to Hazel and that must have been a very difficult decision for him to make. Besides, now looking at what michael had achieved..who knew way back then what the future had in store for them both and the rest of the world.
@SILICONALI420001 - I was also around at that time (I am 42, and have been collecting records since '73.)
I reiterate. Michael never left The Jacksons. Jermaine did. 1976. He stayed behind with Motown. Everyone else left and went 2 Philadelphia Intl/Epic...and then resigned with Epic in '77. Jermaine rejoined the Jacksons in 1984 after his contract with Arista was done.
Correction! Jermaine reunited with the Jack sons after leaving MOTOWN! He signed with Arista and met:(you guessed it) Whitney Houston and Clive Davis. Meeting Whitney a good thing! Meeting Clive: that made me wish that he had stayed at Motown!
I LOVE THE PART FROM 1:42 TO 2:08 WHERE THE CAMERA PANS AROUND THE DANCE FLOOR,THOSE SOULTRAIN DANCERS SURE HAD RHYTHM!!!!!
WISH I WAS THERE!!!
