[anndandridge]

Thanks for Your Wonderful Videos! When listening to Diana Ross & Michael Jackson, Nipsey Russell singing "Ease On Down the Road" it brings back the Memories when I attended The Premiere of "THE WIZ" in Los Angeles, CA and worked on Projects for Quncy Jones (I can't believe it been over 30 Years!) Thanks again for the Memories!

Love and miss u Diana and Michael :(

[1word1heart2u]

This is my ultimate favorite movie. I never like Wizard of OZ to boring. THe Wiz is the Sh#T. Micheal was sooooo handsome and sweet. My favorite charater is The Lion he remind me of my cousin to damn scary......

[josette4231]

I love you Michael. you sweet angel. This movie is a trip!!and i thought 2010 was a trip!

[azcuff]

I liked The Wiz, but you have to be crazy to think it's better than The Wizard of Oz. The Wizard of Oz will always be the most endearing film based on L. Frank Baum's classic, if not the most endearing film of all time.

[pageseventyfive]

above the rin 

[mhollis1989]

The Tin Man was my favorite character. :3

[wingchundragon]

Ahh The Wiz. Perfect example of how white filmmakers in Hollywood who knows nothing about black culture f'up a great broadway play! This film could've been much better than it was. Thank God the soundtrack is amazing!

[ganier14]

Will someone please redo this movie please!!!! ive been to plays to see it, but its needs to be re-did in theaters to pay tribute to the legends, Lena Horne, Richard Pryor, Ted Ross, Nipsey Russell, and the greatest ever Michael Jackson. Please remake this movie.....

[ItachisOnly1]

@ganier14 I think it should be left intact, just as it is.

[Corbinlova12]

@ganier14 If they remake it, it'll ruin the whole thing. Some movies can be remade; this can't.

[ronscott7]

@ganier14 Who would we cast today?? Beyonce as Dorothy?? Usher as Scarecrow?? It would be fun just to think of who could pull it off nowadays and do it justice. Id have Lionel Richie as the Wiz.

[VideoChrizo77]

i love this better than the original cause of 5 reasons 1st is Michael Jackson 2 is the music, 3 is the entertainers in the movie, 4 is cause it looks more cooler and last but not least is number 5 cause it has legendary singers like Diana Ross and Michael Jackson god bless Motown for bringing Michael and Diana

[TheEmolee15]

this movie is way better than the wizard of oz

[MrDoggydog365]

i watched this movie last night

[thewizfan78]

does anyone know where they shot the flying monkey scene when they where running

[KatherineGoneMental]

I'm doing the play in my school to The Wiz! I can't wait!

[shaune1000]

i so miss mj

[slats22]

[thomasia8]

[thepopeofyou67]

i love this so much ease on down ease on down the road it is awsome

[Mamasan41]

Thank you Charlie Small and Quincy Jones!!! ( Need a way to EDIT on YouTube!!!)

[Mamasan41]

Thank ou, Charilie Small and Quincy Jones!!! Love ya!!!

[ABCHealTheWorld]

This song is awesome ! Funkaaaaeeeeee !

[protectorofillinois2]

30 years later and I'm still in love with this movie!!! I have the DVD and I'm unhappy with it because there's not too many extras on it. They could've released it as a 2- or 3-disc special collector's edition and include deleted scenes, commentaries, behind-the-scenes footage (at least 90 minutes long), interviews with the cast and crew, and a backstory of how Dorothy came to live with Aunt Em and Uncle Henry. R.I.P. Michael Jackson. We'll see you again on the other side :-)

[omnee88]

this is the best also you love you and we miss you mj

[junichirodx]

only diana ross is alive...she deserves a oscar 4 all of them

[dimplessexy2011]

[ABCHealTheWorld]

@ozztastic Oops, this is a late reply to your comment, but you said you played bass on Ease On Down The Road. Just wanted to encourage you to keep on keepin' on. That's awesome.

[LiteEyeZ22]

This is Still 1 of My Favorite Movies....Even tho I have the Movie I think they Should Play it On TV!!! I Love you MJ

[BUTTERflies400]

The Wiz was and still is one of my favorite movies

[deathcauser1104]

ease on down ease down the road*music plays*ease on down ease on down the road*bass play*dont u carry nothing that might be a load comon ease on down ease on down the road

[danserchique]

looking at the picture at 1:19 makes me realize just how mature he was cuz he looks so young but he is so professional and sophistocated in this movie. he seems like an adult because he is soooo good at that character. his dance moves are like he's had 50 years experience. its amazing someone so young is capable of the incredible-ness of that role. amazing

[ClaireWentz]

my dad has the sound track for this movie!

its a record!

but its such a good record!

RIP MJ

[michaelljackson09]

[forevershining1]

[ssudioTVgirl]

MJ was gorgeous even in scarecrow makeup! R.I.P., sweet angel. :( So many people in this movie are no longer with us, sadly. Still a classic, though.

[daniellle283446]

[LifeOfSessan]

Michael Jackson = the cutest Scarecrow ever! I loovee this movie! <3 This must be one of the most catchy songs I know, lol.

[YusukeIZmine]

This song is so addicting! I can't stop listening! I love how Michael's voice sounds here.

Gone Too Soon

We Miss You

We Love You

We Grew Up With You!!!!

[SarahLovesAlexEvans]

I danced on this song xD

[Velveteddybear]

I Love Love Love this movie.... sooo much better than the Wizard of Oz

[MasterMacabre13th]

@Velveteddybear Well I dont know about that. I think they're equivalents. Take in mind that the Wizard of Oz's effects were very limited because of the time it was made in. That movie introduced effects into the film industry that had never even been tried yet.

[thomasia8]

@Velveteddybear .Ithe some is you

[ambersharpton]

Oh wow i love this song. Need to rent it to see the full thing. thanks for posting it!

[MadThad0890]

i really dont understand how this movie flopped

[fearNotone]

I must have watched this movie a million times when I was like 2 yrs old. My brothers used to get tired of me watching this over and over...LOL

[MandRfilmsinc]

this movie will be added to my channel in the next 2 weeks, the whole movie! subscribe in advance!

[mimilinayaya]

I'm a new comer - What does one do to get access to the full version of The Wiz?

My kids were hooked on the old version but from what I've seen so far they are going to love this one with MJ and Diana Ross. Too bad it did not get its deserved acknowledgement at the time...

[xxAlchemistressxx]

you could just buy the dvd on amazon or any other webshop you trust - it's what i did 2 days ago, got my dvd yesterday, watched it and loved it :)

you could browse the web for the wiz, but it's usually hard to find older movies. The dvd probably isn't too expensive either - i bought it for about 8 euros, so in dollars it's probably even cheaper! ;) good luck!

[0ooLucyoo0]

I bought it off the itunes store for New Zealand $10 which is real cheap!!

[broadworld]

my high school's vocal jazz sang this a couple years ago and we had the time of our lives singing it.

[Ashley1567]

I watched this movie last night and I say it's as famous as Hair from the 70's. AWSOME SONG!!!!!!!!!

[amandactress]

anyone has this clip from the movie? I wanna watch "ease on down the road" from the original movie.....

[MCRgirl2007]

Michael Made This Movie A Classic!

I Love It!

RIP MJ! I Love And Miss You!

:)

He Will Never Be Forgotten!

[Moiboy9]

3 years ago,

We did this movie as our Musical

it was very cool!

[aGwEENapple]

I loved this movie for some years now!

When I look at it again, I'll get that same feeling I got when I first watched it. Amazement.

Michael was powerful in this movie! He was STRONG. I will forever love this movie,

one of the main reasons being because of his great talent!

Thank you Michael! =]

[mrssonikuri]

[fni2007]

[gravityhater]

lol i agree

[epstylez]

Who is elvis. RIP MJ

[epstylez]

I will always remember Michael Jackson. The world has lost a legend. However MJ is now in a better place. A place that is minus the paracites.  He gave to the world love and never bitterness. Of all the things that where said about him he never lashed out. Michael Jackson I will always remember you.

[lizzie05]

seriously?

[maryberyboo]

RIP Michael Joseph Jackson

August 29, 1958 June 25, 2009

You will be missed!!

And you will always be remembered as

The King of Pop

I pray you are in heaven

Looking at your family

And all the people

That will love and remember you!

Der lucky Dorothy wasnt a littile boy.

[wormquake]

the school did a play on it

[miss09lauren]

one of my fav movies i know every word! this is waaaay better than we're off to see the wizard!

[saikyoryu]

It's impossible to hear this song, and not be depressed. Just hearing this can cheer me up!

[motleyhar]

I always liked this movie and am still a bit shocked to find that it was a box office failure. It always seemed so darn cool on tv!

[velwear]

Because just like today, it was a black and white issue. Especially with this being back in the 1970's.

[motleyhar]

Just like today? Come on... the President is Black, lets move on to bigger issues!

[valchior4]

a black president is major improvement u got that. But whether u see it or not there is still an issue. i am sorry

[motleyhar]

I am not going to taint this wonderful video with a response to an individual who butt's into a conversation and has nothing to bring to the table. It's totally off topic. Have a great day!

[isgoodno]

what the fuck are you talking about. Black people have gotten their way in this country for decades. Blacks are the racist ones. If this country was 85% black, there would never be any white movies, songs, or pop culture. As it is, rap has taken over and completely replaced all other forms of pop music. Blacks control the NBA and NFL, and any black who wants free college can get it if they crack a book.

The only racism in america is black against white. Black crime is 7 times higher than white

[patmon1293]

really?

[isgoodno]

yes, really. The Federal Government's own statistics say that blacks commit 6 times more violent crimes of rape and armed robbery and aggravated assault than whites, and SEVEN times more murders than whites. They are the mean, hateful, violent, racists ones in our society. Not the whites.

[valchior4]

the fact that black crime is more than white crime says nothing on the racism that is shown to us. i refuse to get into an argument on this, but just because there is a majority in "sports" related industries does that really mean that we control most things of america no. I am black and i have commited no crimes no forms of of violence against anyone.

[patmon1293]

that's okay.

typical American ignorance

[valchior4]

i have never been in a fight and i do not hate the whites for abuse because i know its not all of them and it was a foolish mistake done by the people of the past. It is a cruel and mean comment for u to victimize my people when things have been done wrong on both sides. and even in saying that, me neither u will completly understand the view points, handicaps, achievments, and wrongs done by our respective races. Dont categorize a people just because people who happen to be in that race do it.

[faumt]

my musical theater was gunna do this but we decided to do the wedding singer instead.

[tdsmeg4]
