  • His music makes me feel all warm inside. Miss you Mike!!!

  • Real music. I love it!!!!

  • ONE OF MY ALL TIME FAVORITES

  • I love this song we rock it till dis day BK home New Orleans

  • I love this song so much.

  • The song is about Black people. "Know that he deserves to cry"

  • It's about his brother,,,, who went solo.....

  • I wonder if Jack became polite.

  • 4:18 i just that ad lib he does. he used to use alot of these ad libs but then stopped using them as time progressed.

  • Had to revisit, I just love these old songs.

    Being polite ,sweet and compassionate got Michael love all over the Globe and every dream he had turn into reality. You are missed Michael and we thank God he allowed one of his angels to pass this way. Love Always and forever

  • It's sorta embarrassing to say, but it sounds like he's singing about me! XD

  • @flashhasonewing

    Me too. 

  • The Destiny album.....it was created way b4 my time but I swear it was made for me! That whole album fits my life to a tee! Love u Michael and RIP!

  • He just Made "REALLY GOOD MUSIC!" His music is about bring people together, no hatred, 'Just Love and Togetherness, Fun!!!"

  • This is my song! It takes me back to my Jr. high school days in 1991 when my bestfriend first introduced this, and many other great Jackson albums to me! He in his own way helped me to fight the withdrawals I was having in the waiting of Dangerous being released. LOL! I know I was 10+ years late, but when it comes to good music it's really never too late!

  • So dear to my heart. So parallel to my life. Thank you Jacksons. Miss you dearly Mikey.

  • I was alone with a broken heart at my junior high school dance when I first heard this song. What makes this song so special to me is that I had a bad case of "puppy love" and doing everything to impress the prettiest girl in school. I gave her my lunch money, designer's clothing that I begged my mother to buy. I ignored my friends and family, if I had the chance to be with her. Afterwards, she dumped me to go with the most handsome guy to the dance. While looking at them, this song played.

  • @coolsmoothla3 In case anyone is wondering what designer's clothing, it was a "member's only" jacket with my name embroidered on the front and Izod polo shirt. The boys gave them to their girlfriends as a sign of possession. And girls wore them like trophies. I want my damn jacket and shirt back, Sonja!!!!! Nevertheless, that's what I got for being polite. Ahhhh, the memories. If I could turn back the hands of time.

  • @coolsmoothla3 too funny

  • @BobbyluvsGod ...lol... Funny now but not back then...Don't you know that I often cried about you ..I cried about me...I cried about you and me and every little thing that came my way (wink)...Music is a language that we all understand.

  • Mike's disses: "Jack's not happy with his life" (Jermaines constant discontent with himself). "Jack still sits all alone" (Jermaine being estranged from the family). "He wants to be what he is not" (Plainly, he would love to have been the star of the group). "He cries about me" ( Again, Jermaine probably often had issues with MJ getting almost all the leads in songs). "Every little thing thats in his way" ( Jermaine always complaining about something). "Know that he deserves to cry" (self expl

  • HELLO! This Is A Jacksons Song! It aint just about Michael, I know he the main man but c'mon, his brothers were there for a reason!

  • head down

  • im probably half the views to this video lol. i love this song

  • The very best entertainer this World has EVER seen and nobody and nothing compares really......The very best.

  • If y'all were fans and read Moonwalk you would know who this song is about.... Michael wrote the song about HIMSELF. Do some research, please.

  • @mrsjoaquinphoenix THANK YOU!

  • @mrsjoaquinphoenix i agree. i just finished moonwalk not to long ago. i was surprised thatt most of the things people always speculate about are answered in that book! but even after 25 years or so, questions are still constantly asked. his fans need to start going to HIM for info & not the media. He tells us almost everything we need to know just in that one book :)

  • woah!!! i have never heard this song.... its awesome

  • @HANKaccount i remember listening to this son so much in High school. (1995-99) i was the only one into Michael early music. yeah this was my favorate.

    Hey there is another slow track on this album thats good too. search for it, its called, "the jacksons - you push me away"

    u will thank me

  • Honestly, This song is awesome!!! I really don't care who or what the song is about it has a nice beat and a message!!! It is also a good swingout or stepping song here in Louisiana!!!

  • kind of a sad/happy song. Tells abouyt his life.

  • That's what you get for being polite.

  • Folks, the song IS ABOUT JERMAINE...think about the time period.

  • Mike's disses: "Jack's not happy with his life" (Jermaines constant discontent with himself). "Jack still sits all alone" (Jermaine being estranged from the family). "He wants to be what he is not" (Plainly, he would love to have been the star of the group). "He cries about me" ( Again, Jermaine probably often had issues with MJ getting almost all the leads in songs). "Every little thing thats in his way" ( Jermaine always complaining about something). "Know that he deserves to cry" (self expl)

  • @tlaney29 Never thought about that. What about "what he's doing for love is so sad" if its about Jermaine? Or the being "polite"?

  • @tlaney29 PLEASE stop sensationalizing the "rift" between Jermaine and MJ. This was a mere 4 years after Jermaine left the group. He was still pursuing a solo career at this point. MJ has said in plenty of interviews that the song was autobiographical. He stated many times that he was lonely and sad most of the time, that he was the happiest on stage. And the lyrics are "Every little thing that's in his WORLD. not WAY." MJ was always sensitive and cared about other people more than himself.

  • Quite simply, this is a fantastic song.

  • rip mike

  • i've never heard this song.. i love it !!

    it kinda tells michael's lifestory.. that's what he got for being polite.. it's a really good song

  • i love this song!! 

  • @claudiajackson41 Yes, but Jesus wasn't polite. He was honest. He turned over the money changer's tables and disobeyed authority. He was a rebel! And so was Michael! LOL!

  • i think im going to cover this song

  • I have always loved this song I agree it's unrated AND HE IS THE KING . I love you michael

  • I haven't heard this song before now or maybe I have but don't remember. Anyway this song says a whole lot. It's hard being polite when people are spitting in your face. But we must still be Christlike and live as Jesus said and lived. I will always love and respect Michael, no matter what.

  • THATS RIGHT...EVER SINCE HE PASSED AWAY AND THEY PLAYED ALL HIS SONGS ON THE RADIO I NEVER HEARD THIS ONE...SINCE JUNE 2009 I'VE BEEN LOOKING FOR THIS SONG....THANKS JACKSTILL....AND YA KNOW WHAT...I GOOGLE THE LYRICS AND COULDN'T CATCH ALL THE WORDS AND REMEMBER THE WORD JACKSTILL BUT I THOUGHT HE WAS SAYING "JACKSONS"..LMAO

  • Good lord Mike's voice grew alot during late 77'-78' (Sounds like Triumph, I always thought it was)!! Gotta b from Triumph!!

  • @DeishaGuy This is the last song on "Destiny". 2 albums before Triumph... MJ did "Off The Wall" in between the 2 albums...

  • @megavega4 Thanks! I finally realized it when I looked at the song lists of the albums...lol (How did I overlook it IDK)!! I'm slow!! Mike's voice really grew between these albums (including the brothers) I love Wondering Who, Your Ways, and Walk Right Now from Triumph OMG (I'm so used to hearing Jackie's falsetto...lol)

  • @DeishaGuy yeah.. MJ really developed his falsetto by this point. Wondering Who was only the 2nd time Jackie sang a lead with the brothers in his natural voice... I have EVERYTHING they've every done.. either on vinyl or CD... they are the soundtrack to my life...

  • @megavega4 lol me too hun...I just can't help it (they're that good...lol Especially my husband Mike and Jack...lol) I forgot what other track Jack sang on in his NATURAL voice...(My memory's bad)!!!

  • @DeishaGuy It was "It All Begins And Ends With Love" from the Dancing Machine Album. All 5 sing lead... you can find it on here... Tito sings first.. then Jackie... Michael.. Marlon and Jermaine ends it. CLASSIC song....

  • song meaning any one

    kinda a testimony to MJs own life really in my opinoin

  • song meaning any one

  • Just love this oldie but goodie....oh Michael!

  • the destiny album was very good,but THIS song made the album great!!Its only fitting that this was the last song on the album,you goota end every album on a great note.

  • wicked old skool rare groove tune

  • extremely well written.....underrated...best jacksons song by far

  • I have had the song stuck in my head ALL SUMMER. I like the song but dang... I cannot stop singing it

  • This song clearly demonstrates why MJ was the BEST ever!!

  • I listen to this song when I'm down

  • OH MY GOD I LOVE THIS SONG!!

  • great

  • never heard this song

    AMAZING!

  • something tells me michael is singing this song about himself

  • @TaylorMarie94 He is... According to his book Moonwalker :(

  • I love this song and I LOVE Michael Jackson!

    R.I.P. <3

  • @montezdariel WTF? Keep your stupid comments to yourself!

  • love this song micheal jackson always live in my heart .

  • i'm very sad for having missed this song. i have all michael's cd, from off the wall to invisible. i really like this song when i heard it four day ago. now, everyday i listen to this song on youtube .

  • @TheHappyMJ If you really call yourself an MJ fan you should have all his stuff BEFORE OTW. He has an amazing catalogue of music that the "Pop" masses don't even know about because he was strictly an R&B artist.

  • @bronxbabi100 I already had this on my iPOD, are you kidding me!!!?? These songs are sooooo good!

  • diamond in the ruff !!

  • love this song

  • nice wind from a smart boy

  • IMO one of his greatest songs

  • Y DO PPL HAVE TO BE SO MEAN U MADE HIM SAD!!!!!!!!

    (AND H@TeR$ ARE JUS JEALOUS)

  • Where do you get this song.

  • Posted up on my birfday!!! Yay, Love You MJ xoxo

  • He was so emotional, so easily moved to tears but also he laughed easily and had a playful sense of humour. Man of my dreams. I guess he didn't get how so many people can be so cold, just out to exploit others for their own advantage.

  • Wow, that picture along with this song brings tears to my eyes. *sniff*

  • by far their best LP ever...

  • I've got the LP, and you're right, the best :)

  • I'm speechless

    It's so beautiful.

  • Comment removed

  • Jack = Jermaine ..c'mon people!

  • JACK= THE JACKSONS

  • this a song I can relate 2 ... Miss Ya Earth Angel!

  • I really related to this song and I think Jack is Mike. It was so hard for him to experience love because of the life they lead. Even the rest of them never had a real, life as children after stardom. Anywho knows? God bless us all and will lead us to paradise !

  • @tlaney29, sorry for butting in but you're wrong. Had to look it up." (TWYGFBP) was

    my way of letting people know that I knew that I wasn't living in an ivory tower and that I had insecurities and doubts like all older teenagers do" - Michael Jackson, Moonwalker 1988.

  • I love this song. it is very personal and touching. It takes you in to his soul and how he feels.

  • i love everything about this album heavy . laters

  • Comment removed

  • i can relate to this song so much cause i tried to be nice 2 ppl like michael and ppl just step on ur kindness and fuck u over and take an advantage of you if feels like me and michael are the same person and michael is my middle name RIP michael u will be missed 4eva

  • love love <33

  • On an eppy of "Different Strokes" Willis and his date, played by Shari Belafonte, danced to this song, but only the music was played, not Michael's voice.

  • @macdance71

    Wow! I forgot all about that! LOL!!!

  • Very beautiful song! Michael said in "Moonwalk" in a roundabout way that the song is autobiographical. Based on what he has talked about in interviews. we all know that the "Jack" in the song is him. We miss you Mike!

  • I think the song is about Jermaine Jackson and him leaving the group and staying with motown.

  • Yeah, that makes sense. That very well could be the meaning behind the song. I still am sort of leaning more towards that it's about Michael, just like the opening of "Time Waits for no One" where he speaks of being sad and lonely, emotions he dealt with for years.

  • love this song

  • i was born just now ..... waahh im cold!

  • GREAT SONG

  • i was born 1996 lolz

  • When

  • I was born yesterday

  • Michael always had some kind of interesting start on a lot of his songs, you think it's one thing, then you're like oh, that's how the song goes!I love this.

  • i've got the destiny LP :)

  • I THINK THIS IS SO HOT

  • MJ The King of MUSIC.

  • why the heck R. Kelly had to bit off my man Michael Jackson harmony and flow of the song for his Step in the Name of love song. Does anybody else hears the similiarieties man?

  • First time I heard this. I love it already! :)

  • The whole Destiny album is quite a "soft" one and I always liked it. It were the 90s when I discovered all the great Jacksons albums and each one is special.

  • i love the destiny album.

  • This is what I call vintage Jackson Soul, you hear it in Jermaine's "You like don't you" and LaToya's "Camp Kuchi Kaiai". MJ forever!

  • first time i ever heard this song

  • this is of my many favorites

  • This song is UNDER Rated....I'm sad to see/hear that HE is made fun of...He's not the king of pop....but the KING OF EVERYTHING!

  • you know I feel the same Im an rnb singer and to tell you the truth thats what he was its just I think he had so much love in his heart that he just took that title so his peers wouldnt feel to inferior plus hes the king was good in any lane we all know this

  • @eevilangelo

    People made fun of him because he was a nice guy with extraordinary talent. Jealousy and envy. All the haters can do is hate. They have nothing else.

  • @Bronxlady1 I've learned in life that people are afraid of different when they can't relate to it, they misjudge people when they don't understand them, or they disapprove of something when they don't view it as normal.The point I'm making is that MJ was different, misunderstood, and definitley not of the norm as an entertainer,but more so as a human being! I definitley feel alot of the hatred is due to their lack of knowledge of who he really was. If u open your heart u will see with your eyes!

  • @makenart 100% agree with your comment.

  • @makenart I just think that most people are dumb, mean beings who will willingly believe anything they're told without thinking for themselves.

    In life you have to forget about the dumb angry people, they're not worth your time, just let them live in hate, you can't feel happiness when you're life is about hate.

    and on a lighter note, THRILLER WAS NUMBER 1 SELLING ALBUM OF ALL TIME BITCHEZZZZ

  • @makenart well said!!!!!

  • @Bronxlady1 Exactly! 

  • @eevilangelo i agree..this is the best song off this album...michael jackson rocked...i loved michael jackson's amazing music and his incredible dancing! so sad that he's gone.

    ...R.I.P., MICHAEL! KING OF POP, FOREVER!

  • @eevilangelo TELL'EM PLEASE :):)

  • I fell in love with song the moment I heard it back in the 1978-79 when Destiny was released. Loved it then and love it now. I play it in my car everyday even before we lost Mike. I was there at the Triumph concert in 1982, Love him Love him Love him.

  • so cool, i wish i was born then.

  • I was born in 1998

  • oh my, your really young, wow...

  • i was born 2 years b4

  • I was born in 1996 20 days after him.

  • wow thats crazy i was in 6th grade.

  • All Jacksons´ songs have the power to make you feel better instantly when you have a bad day. Love them absolutely. Love Michael always. He´s in our hearts...

  • @funkyvice so so so true. I feel the same way and thats what music should do.

  • @funkyvice completely agree with this! Michael, simply, makes me happy!

  • so you most have been one of the boys if you affirm it so seriously! ´cause I recon you are the faggot!!

  • 1st time eva hearing this song..and im in love with this song... this song makes yhu feel just..happy..i cant describe the feelin but its amazing...R.i.p Mike xoxo

  • happy bday Mike!!!!

    I believe in IMMORTALITY of your soul...You are somewhere! ILOVEYOUSOOOMUCH

  • He wasn't, nor was he suicidal - because this man honestly cherished life. He had insomnia people are investigating what on earth the 'doctor' was doing to 'help' Michael.

  • Michael, all existing elements of the Universe were put in YOU in the most ideal harmony ever...

    You were too perfect for this imperfect world...

    And I just hope that now YOU Reign In Paradise. <3

  • never heard dis song b4...it's purdy!! ^_^ I know almost all his songs by heart now...only got j5 and jacksons songs to memorize now. The reason is because...well to put it simply, it's frickin hard to find j5 and jacksons cd's!!! but i'm learning the songs now since i gots the compooter, HA! still lookin' for the cd's tho : )

  • I CONCUR!!!

  • Joy!! Looks like slingblade65 has been blocked! Now we can enjoy and dicuss this wonderful song in peace! Michael Jackson was without doubt the greatest songwriter/singer/dancer in history- a true musical genius!! Incredible to watch his development as artist- prolific and profund! RIP MJ

  • thank you god finally..almost ruined the song for me but i went and bought destiny&triumph couple days later anyways lol

  • I agree! -two great albums! I just hope they make their way into the publics heart- wish people knew just how prolific micheal was in creating such powerful music! Long live the king of pop!!

  • Yeah! that's what make this song so special... he makes you share a little part of his feelings way back then

  • You know Mike is singing about his self right...he is Jack in the song...look up the lyrics they are so sad! RIP

  • Yeah, in his book Moonwalk he also mentioned that this song was about his insecurities and doubts as a teenager.

    Very sad indeed :( RIP MJ

  • Destiny is the best released as "The Jacksons"

  • Thanks to jackstill78 for posting this great song!

  • to all true MJ fans - dont waste your time answering 'slingblade65' cuz people like that just love a argument even if they r wrong. take comfort as i do in the fact that people like that always get what is coming to them at some point in life. We should just focuss on celebrating MJ as a person and a artist, thats what he would have wanted. People like this cocksucker r just angry cuz they wanted to shag him! All we can do is pitty people like this cuz they will never feel the love of MJ.

  • Question for slingblade:Are you a skinhead or from the KKK???

  • This song is really nice xD Wow, some of these comments r messed up, the only thing dat confuses me is y a person wud watch a vid with sum1 dey dont like...its sad to live a life with no purpose...But to see that there r so many MJ fans willing to standup makes me feel a lil better :) KEEP ON MICHAELING!!! Lolz :) MJ rocks and if u dont believe it then wtf r u on this pg 4? lolz Guess his music still reaches the haterz :P Oh and ummm Slingblade need to find sumthing positive in life..dats all :)

  • lol @ (not with) sling...

    sweetie, u sure are EXTRA passionate about unconfirmed/unsubstantiated items regarding a musical genius... apparently ur infatuation with him is just as serious as those who LOVE him... although misguided. if not, u wouldn't spend so much time begging for attn on a thread dedicated to him. were u molested? get help. stalking mj fans via the internet is a cowardly method of getting the help u so desperately and obviously need. and remember, it wasn't ur fault. peace.

  • Actually, most of the world cried out of grief to hear that Michael passed away onto heaven. We miss him so, and you can never change that fact.

    P.S. If you hate him so much, why are you listening to him constantly?

  • Please do the world a big favor and shoot yourself in the head. Your a worthless bag of flesh that has nothing to contribute to the world...end it now dude.

  • Are you God? No you're not so you have no say so on who goes where or when you or anyone else will die. Get a life and leave the judging up to GOD idiot.
