  • Wow. As big of a Jackson fan as I am, I never heard this version before. What a nice surprise. Thanks for posting.

  • Like this version by the late Michael Jackson and The Jacksons as well...

  • what year was this tune?

  • Check out the Jackson 5 doing Another Delphonics song called ,(can you remember ) I think he did a much or should i say the J5! DID a much better remake of that one~ check out the original by the Delphonics then listen to the j5's version outta site! and Yes! the Delphonics not The Temptations were the j5 favorite group~who knew?? but these songs redone on Motowns Label should make it perfectly clear and something tells Me Poppa Joe was a fan as well!~That Motown Philly thing !

  • excelent

  • If la la la la means I love you then La la la la Michael

  • Wow, michael really make this song, his song. Amazing cover

  • @grouchygreg such a good track anymore.......?

  • one of my personal favorites. Michael's just amazing in this song. his voice, plus his brothers' harmonies in the background are perfect all together! ugh Michael I LOVE U SOO MUCH! <333

  • DICTION TO THE MAX...

    "LISTEN TO ME" to the maximum level of emotion like his heart was aching longing for someone

    and nice reggae style, MJ can do anything..

  • I prefer the Delphonics version althought the Reggae version rocks too.

  • Superb diction and voice quality made him superb and above the rest. May he rest in peace and God receives him into the kingdom.

  • i prefer this over prince's version. a boy singing like that, damn. what a gift.

  • How many years old?

  • @zappasaurus Michael was born in 1958, this cover was done in 1970. He was around 12 or 13

  • @mj4tru this is nice and I loved the Jackson 5 believe me - I was born in 1959 ;-) But I do like the original by the Delfonices better because it's just as emotional, a high voice too but more mature and believable for these lyrics

  • @mj4tru this album actually came out in 1969

  • wow this is just as catchy as the bill frisell version

  • la la la means i love u Michael - always. miss u angel

  • Michaels voice is perfect on this. When I first heard it years ago I had a hard time believing it was him cause he sounded so different haha. Love it though.

  • THIS IS TOO CUTE, RIP MJ <3 Forever

  • People keep dissing the real king needs to get off this page!

  • It's an opinion to say the original is always better, not a fact because the original isn't always better. I much prefer this version. The Delfonic's original version sounds slow and depressing. Although I do like The Righteous Brother's "Unchained Melody" version the best and that is the original. It's all a matter of preference.

  • @boffinme80 Tell it! I think they're all brilliant! and thanks for introducing me to The Righteous Brother's version.

  • @celticlarry what do you mean sick ?

  • thank you all very much in a real way always my brothers wendy johnson from louisville,kentucky.....W L O U................poetic justic

  • awww michael sounds so young <3... this is so amazing and soulful for such a little boy :)... gives me goosebumps!

  • usually the I prefer the Jacksons over all (even Prince) but i gotta say Prince did a better job with this song w.his falsetto

  • @aishaxoxobela I think that  micheal did amazing job to be a little boy with so much soul

  • @kiggy123 I agree. If was little MJ vs little Prince, Im sure MJ wouldve won this one :)

  • @aishaxoxobela little prince wouldve been writing and playing his own material though gotta give credit to that!

  • @Msaddiq fo sho the man is a genius

  • @aishaxoxobela definately but at the end of he day i love em both!

  • @Msaddiq the right attitude right there :) they're both my darlings ;D

  • 7 ppl didn't ever hear the words la la!

    This is one of my all time faves ^_^

    RIP Micheal Jackson <3

  • Luv this song!

  • to six people lala means i hate myself

  • Entire song is Amazing but 2:52 is where he STAMPED this Song!

  • @moneyman61285 Definitely agree

  • Michael dominates this song. He took it and OWNED it. THE BEST!!!!

  • i luv this sonq... mike was a qenious this early in aqe...

  • WTF did they make him sing like that?smh...mike coulda got off on this song but they got him singin like a fuckin...robot

  • This song is so relaxing... That beautiful voice gives me chills. Mike, I love you forever. I will never forget you.

  • @willowbreeze121 omg thank you. the original isnt always better. if ppl kno that they remade who's lovin you by the miracles nd heard the original version. they'd b lyk i dnt lyk the original. ppl jus dnt kno.

  • This was a good version too. i usually don't like cover versions of songs unless they're Bacarach's works. But this was an great cover for it being done so soon after the original but they did that a lot back in the day!

  • Seriously listening to this Mike sounds SOOOOO different he was like 3 or 4 different people throughout his whole life..its amazing really!!

  • @MJ4lyph he changed his style so much throughout his career. he sounded lyk this until '74-'75. then again '79 nd pretty much one every album that came out afterward. not lyk ppl who sound the same all the time, that is y he is the King of Music darling. ^^

  • 5 people's la la la la's didn't mean i love you

  • @gotitgetitgo Really dont say 5 peoples because many family, friends, & fans love them

  • Good song but Delphonics did it better

  • la la to you Michael AND I LOVE THOSE HIGH NOTES he sings so passinate and so clearly

  • Look at the high notes hes hitting! Omg such a little genuis he was

  • Such an amazing and powerful voice.

  • MIChael was is and always will be the ULTIMATE ENTERTAINER" BUT this song truly defined his beautiful mature voice I"LL always love the J-5 bunny a. But don't sleep on my families ABUNDANT TALENT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AMEN.................

  • The music was great. Sorry about his personal problems.

  • la la la Michael !  R.i.p !

  • Excuse me I had to come back and comment on this song. Mike snaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaapppped!!­! Woo, I knew he was about to go off on this song but not kill it!!! GET IT MIKE. Those high notes are unreal.

  • Get it Mike. That high note is majic.

  • This is one of my favorite Jackson 5 songs, they did the delfonics justice :)

  • @7fire7ice7 just right

  • Amazing!!!!! HE sang I shot the sherrif too

  • You can tell MJ was digging this tune.

  • MJ!!!!!!!!!!

  • wasnt the delfonics the first to sing it first?

  • @divafix Yeah.its a cover.

  • @divafix yes

  • WOW! I usually listen to Prince's version. But I love this too!

  • this is off the hook....

  • omg i wish mj sang this song as an adult! it woulda been way better

  • Nope they did not out do the Delfonics but I must admit that is next door to them. In other words on equal billing. im impressed trust. I have never heard the Jacksons do this song before but it is impressive to say the least.

  • @dclaymoore go to hell nobody care about you hater get a life dead beat you really can go to hell judge not because your ass was not there you don,t know you go by what you heard

  • @dclaymoore Get a life stupid, you don't know the difference between charges and the truth. But wait, i forgot, you don't have a brain!

  • @dclaymoore go and fuck off jack ass freak hater!

  • @jb4me94 LOL damn

  • @jb4me94 tell em baby. If anyone can listen to this song and still hate on Mike. ..something is wrong with them!

  • @dclaymoore he never touched any children inappropriately

  • @abcdefghjklmnrst thank u

  • @dclaymoore I don't believe for a moment that he ever did anything to any of those kids. The parents of those kids were the real criminals, because they used MJ's naiveté to exploit him for money. Would any responsible adult actually settle out of court for money if they truly believed their child was molested? Hell no! It exposed the sad fact that MJ was a flawed and vulnerable person however, and these monsters extorted millions from him as a result. Shame on you for the stupid comment.

  • @DickAllen1972 Well said!

  • this is a nice version ! omg , they did ah fantastic job . michael has a nice range . wheew

  • i can listen to the runs at 0:36 and 0:48 all day.. it was small things like that which represented the 90's/ 80's

  • wow.... even I have heard Michael Jackson's voice over a million time, I'm still amazed by the beauty of his voice... I will say anything about his physical appareance but what a shame man... what a waste... Anyway he was the greatest ever.

  • without words...the best...thank you for this unforgettable memory

  • Wow! this boy is somethin else!!!! totally blown away 4 sure.

  • It's okay but I prefer the orginal, not saying this cover is bad or anything...

  • @Nastradumas Really? I find the original quite drab. It's nice but a bit slow and boring. This one is more lively. The original is not always the best you know.

    I know you didn't say that but people claim the original is always better.

  • @boffinme80 Does it really matter? I actually like most of the jackson 5 songs when they're not covers, there's only a like a few exceptions that they did that was better than the original like their cover "Ready or Not". And just because the jackson 5 cover this song doesn't necessarily mean it's any better or any worst, just saying. It's just a song, to each is own, just don't bash the people you don't agree with you, it's stupid.

  • This was my group when I was little, and still is 35 yrs. later! Michael Jackson was a god-gifted human being...RIP Michael.

  • O pequeno Michael Jackson é tudo!!! ♡

  • la la means I love Michael Jackson

  • That's what it means to have soul.  This is soul music.

  • all i know is i miis em...rip...my brutha...

  • @davsjust i miss michael jackson...

  • I lot of folks thought that when asked who were their favorite singing group they would have said the Temptations! well it was ! you quessed it! It was the Delphonics~! who knew?

  • i've just heard al the versions of this song and THIS ONE is the best, even better than the original

  • Amazing...RIP...MJ!

  • RIP MJ. I love you!

  • very very good.....too good..thank you for this unforgettable memory

  • As easy as pie for Michael.

  • i love thiss song but my voice is like dat

  • @eewz8: true, sends shiver down my spine...he was shouting & yet it sounded so MELODIOUS...how could he ever convey da message of the song at a young age? AWESOME! love u forever Michael!

  • OMG!!

    That last "Listen to me" @ 2:50 takes my breath away. Boy means business!!

  • OMG!! the last "Listen to me" @ 2:50 takes my breath away. He means business!!

  • This is so frickin' adorable... <3

    Such a lovely cute yet very soulful voice.

    That sweet face... What a little genius.

  • Michael was so cute with his little voice, I love it. RIP

  • i love this

  • lala mj

  • amazing

  • Love...

  • besides michael does any other of the jackson 5 sing in this song? I think I hear 2 dif voices. I think Michael sings the first part but im not sure

  • @dfmelol probably Jermaine

  • its good...but the Nicholas Cage version from "The Family Man" is better

  • did they ever perform live this cover song?

  • no, wouldn't it have been amazing!

  • Yes Michael was a very talented singer. I saw his show "This is It" and am waiting for a copy of the DVD which will be released the last week of this month. Michael was a gifted and very talented entertainer. I wish he had been able to get away from this dad before he was so severly damaged. I hope that old man gets indigestion after each meal he eats and has terrible nightmares at night, the ones where something is trying to eat him. Rest In Peace Michael!!

  • i luv this song, it just reminds me of the old times before everyone turned on him.

  • this boy got soullllll he and the song are one he is adorable

  • Damn that boy had some vocals besides all the drama to his name he is still a legend

  • What shame he had to die so young , we will never hear a new recording or have the chance to see him in concert ever again ..So Sad ,, R.I.P. MJ

  • The Boy was just unbelievable..I mean HE seems like he really felt this! And he couldnt even spell LOVE...Awesome..RIP MJ

  • @MrAjjamz - Yes, he was. :-) He really feels the song...so powerful. Even though physically, he is gone.... his Music will live on forever.

  • I already liked that "Listen to me" part, but it sounds so powerful and romatic here.

    LOVE IT!!!

  • omg im in love with this song! the jackson 5 just made it like 50 time better

    and that high note at 0:22 omg i was just in shock.

    michael was so talented and he was soo young...he is like a inspiration he was just an amazing person <3
