JACKSON 5 "ABC" on The Ed Sullivan Show

[0neDirectionLuva]

RIP

[whitedovegrl66]

ITS NOT ABOUT COLORS PEOPLE.ITS ABOUT HEART AND SOUL.

[MariusWM]

Imagine... all his old performances and CONCERTS, exists in this quality in archives somewhere.

[JDCVideo]

@MariusWM I KNOWWWW RIGHT!?! Especially his ENTIRE Motown audition... oh GOD what I would give to see all that footage..... damn :(

[layrauhl]

this is the best clothes,dance i wore when i watch this video until 2009

[narmer44]

I suppose vitiligo is what made him marry the homely white girl to have white babies, too? I only married her to have white babies. Says something about what he valued. I still like his music.

[DarkSydeJared]

im singing ill be there in coris

[justarandomgiirl1]

i love jackson 5!!!!!!!

[NeoOsiris19]

I never liked Michael when he turned his voice all high pitch, but I can listen to Jackson 5 all day long.

[mistermotown1001]

just greatest period

[archivosxirtam]

GREATEST ARTIST OF ALL TIMES !!! Michael we miss you King

[justinbieberlove5180]

AWESOME!!!!!!!!!! I LOVE THE JACKSON 5

[AudReyi1029]

Singing this is choir! ;)

[benjiii4]

I actually think Ed Sullivan died in 1965. But they just kept rolling him out like a puppet to announce the next act and say goodnight.

[MrJmb2]

If anyone deserves to RIP it Micheal.

[cey934]

Das Lied schockt :D Ich bin wegen DSDS hier ;P

[rajaeja]

iloveyuguys!!!

[5phuffyb]

So right, Mesalonika, never was a more beautiful human ever born as Michael, inside and out. I think his heart was equally as beautiful; he was our angel on earth and earth wasn't a very nice place for someone as lovely as Michael.

[jsilence418]

AAh remember back when Michael Jackson was black ?

[MrOlivo42]

Michal Jackson... AMAZIN!

[sweetdee1959]

I just knew that was my future husband!! Me and all of the other girls around the world!!

[vividwatch47]

Contrary to popular belief, The Jackson Five made their debut on "The Hollywood Palace" and not "The Ed Sullivan Show".

[technostuff99]

i miss you MJ! R.I.P.

[MultiSamlovesham]

there still together ?

[lovethe1wolves]

@MultiSamlovesham Is who still together? The Jackson5? Michael went solo in 1979. That was the end of the Jackson5. Some dabbled in entertainment but didn't go anywhere. Sister Rebbie did some T.V. and recordings. She has a nice voice. Janet make it big. Michael is dead. 1958-2009 RIP

[Laural1231]

Their so cute! Well, baby cute.

[spokeforhours]

Thanks for the great quality video!

[xioyri]

k hermoso

[c4r50n1]

Lip syncing.

[mrtruthforever]

@c4r50n1 It was sung live to pre-recorded music background track.

[200damary]

@c4r50n1 Suck my dick, Dumb trash said "lip syning" Listen better.

[c4r50n1]

@200damary Explain how the guys who don't have mics are audible.

[gimpyjwilliams]

@c4r50n1 mj and jermaine aren't lip syncing they might have additional back up singers singing the jacksons parts tho

[c4r50n1]

@gimpyjwilliams I know they're not, but the other guys are. That's what I was saying.

[7MJbeatlesMJ7]

ahhhh cute! Please people, there's no way to say something rude about him! He was the nicest peroson on the world and now he's the nicest person in heaven. If you say you hate him, than it just shows that you don't know anything about him and his skin disorder. So just enjoy this great song!

[genki217]

this is black, and the things we see today, are niggers

[c4r50n1]

@genki217 Racist asshole.

[genki217]

@c4r50n1 say all you want,but that's the truth

these so-called "artists" we see today are niggers. but MJ is a black man who has talent

call me racist, fuck i care

[c4r50n1]

@genki217 So any black guy who makes music is a nigger? If MJ heard you say that he'd slap you in the face. All he wanted was for people to get along but racists like you totally go against what he wanted.

[uhmazinghenry]

@genki217 ur racists mj is the gretast make more money than u and did things u will never accomplish in ur life bitch

[FRANKFUZZYNUTZ]

@genki217 I won't call you "racist". That would be an insult to a real racist. No, you're just your average run-of-the-mill asshole/ douchbag...Nothing special.

[iloveyou75204]

@genki217 What do you mean this is black and the things we see today are niggers?

[smoothcriminal429]

I Remember watching this on T.V. Sunday night. I thought that this kid was remarkable.

If i'd only known then what I know now. I probably wouldn't of believed it.

[MrKareemRuiz]

@smoothcriminal429 Are you slow? What you said makes no sense. He got better so think before you post dumb trash.

[classychic95]

30 people don't know their ABC's or 123's!

[TechMatt2]

@classychic95 oh no!!!

[debbiecakezify]

oh god how adorable can he get? <33

[dionk1965]

ledgend hes having a good time at 0.03-0.05 look at the face !

[taniabellaragazza]

Me hubiera gustado tanto conocerte en persona MJ :( quería ir a uno de tus conciertos en el q era tu nuevo tour :'(

[Thesupernova711]

look how Mj turns around & walks away..i seen him do that move in

"This Is it"! still missin Mj...luv the J-5 always since 1967...

[kiggittykyle]

this gave me goosebumps.

[cassyclim8]

wow this is super clear! thanks for posting!

[87coil]

Looks like it could have been filmed only yesterday, I know it sure feels like it does...

[num1Jaysta]

@Mesalonika It's called vitiligo.

[lillydiaz1]

@Mesalonika FYI, if you haven't been paying attention durning the Conrad Murray trial, their was a seperate interview done on Michael's one time doc., Arnold Klein. On that interview Dr.Klein said that Michael approached him w/ concern about his vitiligo that he wasn't happy about & asked the doc. for suggestions. It was Dr. Klein who said he suggested to bleach his skin to even out his skin tone. It was never about MJ wanting to be white, he had a bad skin disorder. People r still misinformed!

[Mesalonika]

@lillydiaz1 Sorry I did not that, as you know most of us wonder how he could change so much from that cute little guy to ..how he became in the last days.

[MrKareemRuiz]

@Mesalonika His father beat him and said he was to black to be his son cause joe was light skin. also said his nose was to big, undersatnd now dumbass.

[Mesalonika]

@MrKareemRuiz Kareem Ruiz you are a genius...where you got your PhD ?

[FRANKFUZZYNUTZ]

@Mesalonika Well-stated!

[Mesalonika]

@FRANKFUZZYNUTZ  um well thank you so

[lovethe1wolves]

@Mesalonika I must be seeing things. It's not like he had a choice. He did what he felt he had to I'm sure. Michael not only had Vitiligo but Lupus..(which has been talked about numerous times on T.V. for the past 25 years.) The latter can cause skin pigment issues as well. Journalists like Dianne Sawyer who claim ignorance on the issue are liars, period.

[jsilence418]

@lovethe1wolves lol you are a fucking fool no one agrees with you !

[lovethe1wolves]

@jsilence418 I have no clue what you're referring to. I just stated facts. In their adult life the J5 split up in the late 70's. Janet and Michael went on to make it big. Rebbie recorded and did T.V. and some of the others dabbled but pettered out. A brief overview. Take your trash can mouth and flush it down the toilet where it belongs.

[jsilence418]

@lovethe1wolves  you think jackson had a nose and skin condition? did it also straighten his hair? fuck you are an idiot ! you must want to be white like jackson did.!

[MrKareemRuiz]

@jsilence418 Fuck you Rip MJ.

[jsilence418]

@MrKareemRuiz RIP is right Really Insecure Pedophile !

[BritneysOnlySlave]

@Mesalonika He had a skin disease that got rid of the black in his skin you fucking moron, it's called vitiligo. Do some fucking research.

[MrSluggo666]

@BritneysOnlySlave If jackson had a disease apart from pedophaelia that is, it was called wanna be white itis !

[OropherThranduil]

@BritneysOnlySlave

No you dipshit he just was a crazy motherfucker who had problems with beingblack.

[justarandomgiirl1]

@OropherThranduil no its not!!! fuck you

[ADA4JESUS1]

@BritneysOnlySlave michael never had a skin disease, the illuminate did dat to him, bcos they never wanted a black man to be the king of pop. dey even killed him and whitney. browse illuminate on you tube.

[spitzter96]

@Mesalonika He didn't forget that black is beautiful. He never left that side and he never went into another race. He didn't forget where he came from. Just blame his skin disease, he never bleached his skin; bleaching a skin is off the line but he never did it and he would never would. He was black and he was, and still is, proud of being one.

[Mesalonika]

@spitzter96 All right! point taken. :-)

[cgreenhow1]

I'm disappointed that the (usual) introduction wasn't included here, but I'm grateful and pleased with what remains! An inspiring performance of a superlative song with sincere immediacy of feeling! "Bubblegum" is an ageist label, often used critically, pejoratively, or connoting beyond fact or reason. AS "bubblegum" chart hit music that was danceable rhythm and blues/"crossover" trend-setting, this RULED, and it- thanks to the teams involved!- still can claim authority! Yeah! :)

[xXnemovanityXxbotdf]

I still can't believe he's dead... HES KING! HES BOSS!!! HES SHWAGGA!

[200damary]

King

[MegaMousebilly]

is that Mike singing?

[j5lover32543]

@MegaMousebilly yup

[SpazChat]

Lip sync!

[kimblesxoxo]

Michael was eleven at this time. ELEVEN!

[cespedeschristian08]

great!



[cashratemoney]

just great

[beautifulgirl95100]

sing it mike

[franc00hh]

look why do they call justin bieber gay? MJ was the same exact way. i dont get it

[GokuThe80sMan]

@franc00hh because mj could sing.

[GokuThe80sMan]

@franc00hh oh and he didnt use a computer to edit his voice (auto tune) mj had a deeper voice too. He can also dance where as justin beiber cant, he also had really entertaining music videos as well for example thriller.

[MisatoK29]

@franc00hh because Justin Bierber is gay. He also can't hold a candle to MJ, and comparing Bieber to him doesn't make Bieber straight either.

[DMac1712]

@MisatoK29 well, mj could sing (when he was young), and bieber cant. thats the difference

[MisatoK29]

@DMac1712 I heard that! What's the deal with that anyway? What tone deaf talent scout was it that thought he could sing? Who ever it was needs to get another job.

[DMac1712]

@MisatoK29 usher thought he could make a lot of money of the kid. its not about talent anymore you dont need it.  just look at the disney channel. it all about the looks

[bcrs4110]

i need a link to the longer version

[jk8fame2]

aww little Michael is cute! :')

[PaNdeM0niuM]

wow Great quality

[hibamissy]

MJ was sooo cute

[Oaklandgirlpitlover1]

Why was this so short?

[hibamissy]

@Oaklandgirlpitlover1 I THINK THERE IS ANTHER ONE the same concert but long

[1skullduggery]

the music of 'abc' is the chorus of 'i want you back'.

[davelitz123]

Producers in Hollywood - - - please bring back shows like this - I'm sick of constant reality shows!

[snowplow2321]

this is my birthday. 40 years ago

[SuddenSparkles]

Simply the best

[MarkA15]

Feels so unreal... watched at 240p.

[AnaJackson7]

[courtneybynes1]

@AnaJackson7 even if it was fuzzy with no color it would still be god quality :)

[777JacksonFan]

[Bananpulver]

[777JacksonFan]

[vexnetrek]

[TheGooseberryBush]

[ToyaEnuh]

Wow ..

Some Dancinq ,"

:) LOL

[TheNewport45]

that was short



[ThePandalovar123]

am i the only one wondering how they got the picture sooooo clear???

[jakeandjory]

@ThePandalovar123 HAHAHa

[NikkiSellsRealEstate]

@ThePandalovar123 I love the clarity. It doesn't look aged or dated at all. Must have been the "Technicolor" films that they used back in the day which created movies and films in a desired mix of bold, full color print. "The Wizard of Oz" (filmed in 1939 - 72 years old) and "The Ten Commandments" (filmed in 1956 - 55 years old) were both filmed in TECHNICOLOR and notice how bold and rich the colors are in both of these movies/films even today.

[MrDafinestmelody]

@ThePandalovar123 Probably edited the image lol ... hello 20th century??

[leonielovemusic]

@ThePandalovar123 aaah the mistyrius thing calles technoligy XD

[hibamissy]

@ThePandalovar123 yea i was wandering the same thing

[backwardsmarathon1]

@ThePandalovar123 cameras back then had the capability to record with very good quality. the limitation was transmitting to the televisions of the people.

[scottduncan44]

@ThePandalovar123 No, Ed Sullivan was one of the most succesful T.V.shows of all time. By 1970 most shows were in color. Ed Sullivan had the budget for the finest staff and equipment. You can tell from the staging, lighting and the performers outfits that it was designed for high definition color. Also this appears to be a professional promo for the DVD's so it is loaded to You Tube directly from professional quality digital media. It may also have been digitaly enhanced for the DVD.

[kENzOsan808]

@ThePandalovar123 This is the Ed Sullivan Show. They know how to do it.

Or knew I guess haha

[naturegirl829]

AWWWW Michael is super duper cute!!! I wanna hug him so badly!!!

[kepr1]

the king of popping pills

[200damary]

@kepr1 still the king Rip king

[sheshowa]

we really miss you micheal (alla yr7mk)enshalla

[rmdlskms]

this is brill quality for the 70's.

thanks:D!

[iEnjoiPnoy]

michael got swag

[DeishaGuy]

@ChiSportsNut18 LOL Okkkk Exactly his wife...He took care of his responsibilities...He could have been like most fathers BUT he didn't...He worked 2 jobs, took care of ALL his children and wife and eventually got them out the ghetto as they call it..I applaud him honestly!

[ChiSportsNut18]

@DeishaGuy

He may have been hard-working but he mistreated his children by making them rehearse almost non-stop. The only friends the boys really had were each other. They were practically slaves to show business by their father. He wasn't even in Michael's will!

[Sinnerxxs4385]

perfect video quality

[Dswizzle90]

I wish all j5 videos were this quality.

[SugarBaby372]

'May 10, 1970.'

I was born exactly 20 years and a day after that. Ha.

[Dswizzle90]

@SugarBaby372 Cool, your 7 days older than me!

[totallynotjonathan]

[1skullduggery]

i like them better than any of the other great motown groups, even mr. robinson.

[AngelMaldonadoSME]

AMAZING QUALITY!. :)

[MichaelJackson4eve39]

perfect quality in this video !!! Love how Little Michael already danced and sang like no one else on this planet !!! But hate the storry behind his carrier starting with the J5 ! What Joe Jackson did should have nerver ever happened !!! I agree with Michael when he said "Childhood" is the most trueful & honest song he ever performed .But we have to keep the following good fact(s) in mind : -MJ always lovede beeing on stage , sing , dance !!! He wanted to be a "J5" . He loved the people / Fans !

[spptube]

This song is ABC...but Michael went on to define D to Z. What a genius.

[H4D111]

omg, what a quality for 1970.. there are lots of newer vids on youtube with worst quality(user fails)...

[porn1978]

in 1970, elvis was at home watching this and HATIN!!!

[BaderaMJJ22]

MJJ FOR LIFE

[DeanBost]

Crazy high definition for 1970 lol
