Jackson 5 - I Am Love

[blstheone]

At this time of the brother's career in 1975 they were labled "The Jackson Five plus one" because they were beginning to incorporate youngest brother, Randy into the group who played the bongos - he is actually at this performance on Cher's varierty show, but here the taping was edited short so you don't see Randy over there in the corner in his suit with the guys. So they were all acually together as a group before the brother's left Motown and Jermaine went solo and stayed at Motown

[sbagg88]

Wow! I thought nothing could top the scary fashion that happened in the 80's. I was wrong. Long live J5! Even if their fashions didn't.

[BestMusicExpert]

Thats an interesting edit of the song. Personally I like part 2 better but its a great song in full!

[thalisson751]

kkkkk SEM MENTIRA  ,Esse Corte de cabelo È orRiivel !!!!

[inara157rock]

@thalisson751 o burrise na época o cabelo black power tava na moda tipo agora moicano ta na moda entendeu ou vo ter que desenha

[Jacksons1929thru1966]

@Poppyseed48 lol I know it's been years and years sice you replied to my comment, but...

What I was saying is for someone to negatively critique Jermaine's appearance, that "someone" would have to be as fine as Marlon Jackson himself

[eutuxiaMJ]

3:26 GREEK DANCE LOL

[gg4241]

amo michael*_*

[shavanadofelinojulio]

0:00 to 0:31 is Cher?

[srsrsrsrify]

esses 9 pessoas

que não gostaro

são vaca

[kmilacbitar]

essa mulher que estar com Janet não muda de cara em? É Sher ?

[rktqmffptb]

@TejMulen you're well-versed in disgusting words, whatever Im not your friend

[rktqmffptb]

@TejMulen I don't know why you think him crazy, but he's a billion times better than u

[rktqmffptb]

@TejMulen no..but I know you are trash

[rktqmffptb]

@TejMulen who is whacko? you?

[Candygirl820]

look at Jermaine's press and curled afro....lol i love it!!! he was a cutie.

[TheAnastacia1995]

Janet was so cute.

[tawheedization]

shut up my best friend Peaches use to make me almost cry talking about Jermaine was wearing a bush wig and his hair was brillianlty natual curyly and probably longer as any wig bakc then yall ignorantly accus him off i do the same thing we all do beyonces etc we have hair but so what but i know this is Jermaines hair so take notice even if it was the Superfly era was he guilty if everybody was doing it stop hating o the jAckson Five its getting tired and old especially if u claiming effimenate !

[tawheedization]

lookin like Katherine i say that with all due respect your Mom is aw god whtat can i say we would be all better if we had patient and understanding Momthers liek yalls i know Jermaine cause u and your mother have a connection cause u muslim and she and michael likewise cause he had struggles too that this so called society put pressure on you like any mother she catered to yall in yall own individual ways to assure yall knew that you were all special according to your needs a very patient woman

[ppaulst]

@TejMulenin the mid 70s afros became bigger. Some men took to curling their hair that is what you see on Jermaine. I lived through that time. I have always that if the 70s was guilty of one great sin it was fashion.

[pamiety]

@ppaulst The eighties was suspect too...lol. Men were wearing questionable clothes. (like spandex shorts cut off tank tops and the list goes on and on and long curls) You probably did too...huh? Have a good one!

[tawheedization]

michael was the ansawer to the question

[mhanco1]

@TejMulen

LOL...now that I look back.after all these years..Jermaine might have been wearing a wig..It wasnt commonly known back in 1975..But I bet it was a wig..LOL

[vincespell]

@mhanco1 Jermaine's hair was permed asshole, it wasn't a wig! You don't know shit so stop making up shit! Now that you look back, you probably weren't even born back in the day! I got something for you to bet, I bet you don't know shit, so shut up! Your talking about the 5! One of the Greatest Groups of All Time!........Lmao......Just joking with you bro! All joking aside it was perm or processed as they called it!

[mhanco1]

@vincespell Asshole? You got some serious issues ..You Bitch made Motherfucker..I can talk about whoever I fucking want to talk about For your Fucking Information..Michael and I were born the same year.And furthermore YOU don't know shit either..Were You there? NO!..So before you attack another person..Ask yourself..Is it worht it..Maybe you should overdose on Propofol and ask Michael in person..LOL You Bitch Made Motherfucker..LOL

[mssquirrely]

I absolutely LOVED this song and still do, Micheal put the icing on the cake....had the biggest crush on Jermaine OMG! Jermaine was awesome (underrated)

[JesusChrist5000]

Wow he played bass and sang at the same time. That's hard to do.

[MrCocky]

Jermaine did his thing!

[Jackson5HereToStay]

ok how do we have a bulldog looking joe jackson and we get some great looking guys like them.....must be that katherine in them

[abdul8096]

as -saalmau alaikum and i am in love with you and i do aND I'M SO HAPPY THAT YOU ARE DYNAMITE ANDE NOW THAT U ARE NOT WITH DADDY;S LITTLE GIRL AND MAYBE U HAVE FOUND THAT GIRL AND YOU KNOW THE LOVE U SAVE MAYBE TOMMORROW WILL B YOUR OWN

[MrZachman7]

This is such a cool song. This was when their sound really started to change. I bet they were glad to do it. They were probably tired of doing fluffy stuff.

[girlwalkerII]

thanks for the visual treat and memories. I miss those good ol' tv times with variety shows.

[MJJ4evas]

yes randy dancing while playing instrument at 3:37 or sumthing like that

[MJJ4evas]

[moneyman61285]

[abdul8096]

[nizzywizzy]

[Unayox]

Michael is wearing the colour of Holland! Hihi. :D Nice video, love them! L.O.V.E from Holland!

[bigazzpimp407]

@Unayox Much love to you too friend!

[Unayox]

@bigazzpimp407 Thanks hihi :)

[OOOpopularpopOOO]

what a video .

[maxtechjam]

see if yall stop focuing on micheal all the time u would see the other brother's was just as talented.

[SuperRenata23]

omg Cher wasn't a good looking woman when she was young.No wonder she had had so many plastic operations. What happened to her daughter I have heard that she(her daughter) is a man now is it true?? Cher must be very sad about it.

[maxtechjam]

see people motown is the one that had micheal out front, jermaine could have led them also.

[lfRMFC]

@maxtechjam Katherine Jackson is the one noticed Michael had the ability to be a lead singer when Joe hadn't. Michael was "out front" before Motown.

[maxtechjam]

@lfRMFC I feel what your saying yes his mother notice his singing around the house i'm sure, i'm just saying give Jermaine credit he could have led also but their style would have been more mature cause he is older.

[SILICONALI420001]

@maxtechjam i agree. b4 micheal came along jermane was the lead singer. than his voice changed.. so micheal was put in front(by voice change: puberty hit.

[pressdesign]

Mortishia :D

[emymummy]

which one is oldest tito or jermaine or jackie ? ?

[greencookiemonsters]

@emymummy Jackie is the eldest, then Tito and Jermaine. :)

[emymummy]

which one is mickey ????

[jackson19772005]

@emymummy no is Randy on congas

[greencookiemonsters]

@emymummy I suppose you mean Michael? He's the one in the orange clothing.

[PecsInDaCity]

Jermaine was a lot less oily back then - LOL.

[santabarbaraca2010]

Father Time Breaks Everybody Down.Once You Hit A Certain Age.

[Candygirl820]

this is when Jermaine was FINE as HELL!!! What happened???? Damn!!!

[SILICONALI420001]

@Candygirl820 tick toc tic toc ............ DANG TIME

[Darslow]

It's so sad that we now have to live with the fact that many people, despite MJ's acquittal due to severe lack of evidence, will consider him a pedophile. Michael was so childlike that he didn't even realize that such a disposition would ultimately be his doom. I feel so bad for him.

[111ninus]

@Darslow - Thank you!...... thank you for the comment....

[MJafro]

@Darslow Fuck those kids and Fuck those greedy parents too

[taot1113]

This is one of my favorite songs from the guys as adults.

[minastronasse]

Insane little molestor was about to become the ROTTEN DEVIL we all know.

[futuristfood]

yes, but that hair will do what it wants,.. : )

[Queen0fClubs]

Is the video quality poor or is it my pc/connection?

Loved this song as a preteen.

[ladymusiclover]

@Queen0fClubs Your PC is fine it's just the video quality.

[aletarae]

And the electric guitar, got to love it!

Wow>

[aletarae]

we need music like this to remind us who we are!

[aletarae]

sweet!

[minastronasse]

A bunch of monkeys led by a pedo dwarf. Disgusting.

[rktqmffptb]

@minastronasse shut up I don't like to see ur fucking comments anymore

[soulfulman1971]

@minastronasse Let's leave yo' mama outta this.

[rosiej1998]

@minastronasse Please shut that shit up.

[sotathug941]

my lil girl looks just like janet for real... but i never knew jarmaine had that much talent but michael still stole the show in the end... lol..

[yankees2000ms]

@sotathug941 yeah jermaine is very talented he also has a handful of solo hits to his name:]

[cornell751]

No matter how you slice it. The Jackson 5 was and will always be the total package.

[MichaelJkingforever]

Krystle you are right...he is the STAR and always be...but Jermaine is also great and this song it's really good and beautiful

[CJandthesoup]

Those suits... Wow.

[greencookiemonsters]

Wow. Jermaine sounds like Marvin Gaye, I've never realised! I love The Jackson 5 / The Jacksons years, they were good times.

[brownhornet22]

@greencookiemonsters Jermaine was the only other Jackson male who could actually sing. His career, I think, should've been bigger.

[etyvnio]

Dam, the J5 was so talented by this time the put out there first published produced single called whats your game by mdlt willis!

[redbonegal]

I remember this back in the day Jermaine rocked that afro-perm blowout!! I was in love!!!! RIP Michael!!

[dttterrell9]

I now know how blessed I was to have seen the Jackson 5/ The Jacksons perform 4 times live, Michael is only a year older than I am and I remember being amazed watching him perform when he was 11. The best all around entertainer of all time, bar none!

[blockboihussla]

Mike came in smooth as hell!

[AuthorTanya]

Rare footage of michael playing background. They couldn't keep him back there for long though : )

[frogca]

Jermain had real chops on the bass. His father, Joseph Jackson, was a great guitar player with The Falcons. Also, Jermain had access to all those great Motown studio aces like James Jermerson that I am sure he learned some licks from.

[Yellow4494]

Why is Jackie ALWAYS in green? He is here, Motown 25th and the 30th anniversary solo concert

[BlackDiogenes1020]

@Yellow4494 same reason Jermaine rocked silver and purple, and Tito rocked red and white (originally jermains color).

[Yellow4494]

@BlackDiogenes1020 ohh cool didn't know that

[june1956ify]

can anybody tell em what was on the flip side of I Am Love by this song?

[BlackDiogenes1020]

@june1956ify If I remember correctly, the 45 was a part 1 & part 2. I was 5 years old when this came out, but I did have my own record collection back then! I started collecting records at the age of three! LOL! TRUE STORY!!!

[buttacudawey]

aaawwww how cute is janet???? lol....... and cher wat happen to u...now u looks all plastic...

[TheBold707]

bieber could do this.

[sorinelmake]

@TheBold707 ah STFU stupid noob with ur fag

[TheBold707]

@sorinelmake What the fuck is a noob? Get a life bitchboy

[etyvnio]

@Bdlsito, I love your taste in music, but the best bass line of history is from the same group, also, type in Jackson 5 Darling Dear! That bass playing is PRICELESS!

[Bdlsito]

at 2:40 starts the best bass line of history....

[Zeppolino100]

@Bdlsito My friend, listen to one Mr. Jaco Pastorius if you want to hear the BEST bass lines of history. The one you comment on if good and complements the song, but Jaco was an acknowledged master that blew the doors off anyone playing from the mid 70's through the mid 80's.

[Bdlsito]

@Zeppolino100 hahaha yes man I've heard the unfortunetly deceased Jaco, and other great bass players like Marcus Miller, Victor Wooten, Bunny Brunel, etc. But as far as popular music Goes, this takes my respect and admiration...

[Zeppolino100]

@Bdlsito Ahhhh....you really ARE a friend. Excellent choice of other great bass players. You know of what you speak. And you are right, as far as popular music goes, that bass line is worthy of respect and admiration. Keep the faith.,

[Bdlsito]

bad luck I'm white and can't sing like that :(.....

[eritreangurrl]

whoa that jumping part tripped me out! and marlons jump haha! 3:10

[everything1am]

The Jackson 5 had the best AFOS, I love it!

[myfunkyway9]

Don't buy nothing of Michael til' they give Joseph his money they try take everything this BLACK FAMILY WORK HARD 4 and we talk about BLACK FATHERS give JOSEPH HIS MONEY MICHAEL LOVES HIS FATHER AND HIS FAMILY MEDIA TRYING 2 MAKE MONEY W/ NEGATIVTY give MR JACKSON HIS MONEY

[Hylandryder]

How sweet was Janet!

[MrNathan791]

this was one my favorite j5 songs with jermaine on lead. seeing this brought back memories of my child hood growing up singing and dancing to the jackson brothers perform. also this was one of the first songs that i learned to play on my bass.

[Rookiemusiq]

is it me or is the harmony the same as 'Isnt She Lovely' by Stevie Wonder only slower?

[MrNathan791]

@Rookiemusiq if you think that,you are tone deaf. this song sounds nothing like 'is'nt she lovely. what a laugh.

[kahlfin1k]

@MrNathan791 I wouldn't be so quick to express your ignorance. The First part actually has the exact same progression as Isn't She Lovely. Both in their respective keys obviously. ex. Cm7 F7 Bbsus Ebmaj. Good ear Rookiemusiq lol

[MrNathan791]

@kahlfin1k ok. so what;get over yourself. many songs have similar notations,but are arranged totally different,therefore sounding different. this song starts off much slower than "is'nt she lovely,giving it a totally different style and approach.your ignorance is what's showing on this matter.

[kahlfin1k]

@MrNathan791 Yes its a different tempo and groove but If you recall Rookiemusiq specifically said HARMONY. Which is exactly the same. Maybe you should read comments before replying.

[kidcalabria]

Great upload. I had this single as a kid, and I loved it. Thanks for the post

[purpleice777]

He didn't rape anybody. Maybe you should read about what really happened. The kid recanted his story. His father put him up to do it.

[funkysouldancer1]

@purpleice777 ..dont bother trying to convince dickheads...he was framed and only dickheads are in the dark...

[AudreiMichael]

@purpleice777 THANK YOU

[totalannihilator99]

Jacko should have been given some Propofol back then. Insane rapist.

[MrMjhealtheworld]

@totalannihilator99 Why don't you start with annihilating yourself, you would do us all a favour. But do it totally!

[minastronasse]

1970 : I am love.

1990 : I am rape.

2010 : I am death.

Burn in Hell, Jacko !

[soligt98]

@minastronasse do you have a problem ugly pig! don´t fucking say anything if you don´t like him! freaking weardo i´m very very shure that you will burn in hell in all eaternaty!!

[TheSabs33]

[43aaronlewis]

[misfrancis09]

[CmdrRipley]

This song is one of their best! Wow.... Magic<3

[lena94Sv]

я люблю вас!

[patisserie1]

Its really nice to see the J5 as their authentic self before they massacred their faces. They are all handsome here. Jermaine is good but wait until Mike take the floor. This is a beauty to watch.

[ranmae57]

@patisserie1 no one had surgery but mike, did they?

[patisserie1]

@ranmae57..Are you asking a genuine question? Did U not see the faces of Janet, LaToya, Jermaine, Randy & Marlon? Jermaine got a real botch job. Even the noses of Joe & Katherine underwent a physical change. They tried to customize their faces to look more like Mike's. As the saying goes, Mike went & the family followed. Personally, I didn't find anything wrong with their faces. I guess every family has their own short comings. When MJ said that he looked like a lizard; I felt a deep sorrow

[totalpokemongirl]

Is Michael wearing orange or pink?

[sadresshill]

@totalpokemongirl Are you color blind?

[sadresshill]

@totalpokemongirl Are you colour blind?

[yungbeezy789]

@totalpokemongirl orange

[SusanQ83642]

Those classy, MOTOWN footwork moves are sorely missed in today's music!! Now days they swear, strip off their clothes, and set a horrible example for the young people! Katherine was a fantastic seamstress and she made their costumes, I LOVE all the different colors! Definitely the rainbow 70's!! Cool Man! Can you dig it?

[soapqueen99]

that was the first time I seen where another jackson sang and took lead

from Michael.

[kbarkus]

@soapqueen99 "I found that girl", "Oh how happy", "Bridge over troubled water", "I know (im losing you)", "My cherie amour", "I will find a way"... Are just a few off the top of my head where Jermaine sang lead in these J5 songs!!!!!

[bleuivy]

I love the 'slo-mo.'

[Krystle2007]

I have to admit that Jermaine is an excellent singer but I might have fallen asleep if Michael hadn't stole the show. It's hard to take the star quality away from him.

[youngjulianlive]

@Krystle2007 very true

[BlackDiogenes1020]

@Krystle2007 u need to hear the rest of the song...that is just an excerpt. They were a group not Mike's background performers. Mike and Jermaine always switched up!

[keonawashere]

@Krystle2007 haha I agree. I almost clicked another video but then read this so I kept watching.

[rufus317]

@Krystle2007 Back in the 70s Jermaine was the heart throb of the group not Michael because he was a kid. After the "Get It Together" album is when Michael started really being a favorite despite him lead singing prior.

[SILICONALI420001]

@rufus317 grew up with the jackson 5.. and trust this:::::::::: all the girls wanted to be with jermaine even after the git album. and the guys wanted to be like jermaine not micheal. peace am out

[Ninjalectual]

@Krystle2007 Great comment. In Dune, they call Alia an "abomination" when she flaunts the rules by using her powers to prevent aging by controlling her body's metabolism, thus looking young forever. I am watching Michael Jackson in this video and reflecting on his life thinking maybe there is a parallel to be made.

[IrisMG]

Gotta love blow-outs! Miss the 70s. Never thought I would.

[Cedrclovesutube]

Hey they Didn't finish the song were Mic goes "Im the answer to your question. My Key unlocks ur mind I'm ur friend an ur lover you sista an ur brotha.

[telj1]

@ 1:42 the roger rabbit...lol

[tralala08x]

I love this song. Jermaine's voice is so lovely and soothing at the beggining. Then Michael makes it funky! :) I love you Michael xxxxx
