The little one on the bongos is Randy. He's not an original member of the Jackson 5 but regularly started performing with they from 1972. They never changed their name to Jackson 6 (or Jackson 5 and a half ) though.
In 1976, they left Motown and started a new group ' The Jacksons'. Randy was now an official member of the group and Jermaine (in the yellow-green-ish outfit with the bassguitar) left the group.
ok, this is PHENOMENAL! but watch the Jacksons Variety show version of this. I just like the faster tempo a little better and Michael is older in it and totally NAILED the spin and robot even better than here :) either way, the jackson brothers own
I think this is when I first fell in love with dance music!! I was a kid wearing bell bottoms and platform shoes, "getting down" in my childhood home in Brooklyn! Yes, I am that old!! And I'm proud of it!! I wish Michael could have lived a long healthy life instead of being snatched from us due to some stupid drug overdose. He didn't deserve that! Michael, you'll be missed forever!
its a shame michael was to cute here and he could control a stage, and at the same time this was the age where he felt the most insecure, but you would never notice it from his stage presence and confidence
i know thats right michael GET IT! he killin it! when i saw micheal i was like damn he was gone. i have a sister that hats on th jacksons his kids his enry thang but they was gone
Michael was skinny as fun, like wtf ? He scared the shit out of me doing the robot.
I get pissed when people compared Justin Biber to MJ, because that's like saying Mj was sorry as fuck and can be easily imitate, when the fuck he can't.
@mrLimaloui every 10 years they come with a new person to try and compare to Michael Jackson, like usher,justin timberlake,now justin bieber, give me a FUCKING BREAK!all three of them together cant hold a candle to my man MICHAEL JACKSON THE KING OF MUSIC! MAY HE R.I.P!!!!!!!!!!!
@misfrancis09 Justin Bieber is the worst comparison to Michael ever, because he cannot dance. The only person imitating Michael, that I give props to, is Chris Brown. But even he's not a Michael Jackson but he's better than most.
I agree with the poster that said they like his seventies-era dancing better than anything else. I'll admit, he was still innovating in the eighties, but after that, everything was some frenetic locking. I personally think Dancing Machine was the height of his dancing artistry. If you look at all the clips of their performances of this song, everything is smooth and polished on that first Soul Train performance - but later performances incorporate DIFFERENT moves and faster pacing and improv.
@HHCassius I am totally feeling you, here. I think the folks like me who are in their "middle earlies" who grew up with the O.G. MJ tend to favor his mid/late 70s moves. They were more sensual, smooth and clean. It had the same eye-popping, breathtaking effect as JB's acrobatic/athletic moves of the mid-late 60s. MJ's 80s repertoire was snappier, more urgent, more electric, and it worked beautifully.
@HHCassius You'd take Dancing Machine over Billie Jean? To each his own but I think Billie Jean was the height of his dancing artistry. Smooth Criminal ranks up there high too. See those were original pieces whereas Dancing Machine incorporated moves that were popular. JMHO.
@KSitz77 I guess it's just a style thing. I've been hanging out with my father-in-law over the past year and guess I've developed a pseudo-nostalgia for smoother, more soulful grooves and dancing.
@HHCassius Yes it was nice no doubt about it. Especially when all of the brothers were in synch with each other. Don't know how old you are but the J5 was the best in the 70s at this kind of movement. They are a true legend. I think MJ's dance moves got more seductive later on to please the ladies where the 70s was all about just grooving (till the music stops now!) LOL.
OMG!!! I was in love with the Jacksons. I had a little fold n go record player & my 1st 45 (yeap a 45!!!!) was Dancin Machine. I carried that sucker everywhere I went. My 1st concert was to see the Jackson. You couldn't tell em nothin about Michael Jackson back then.
This is the very best live version of Dancing Machine that I've seen. You can tell he's really singing. And he dances just that much more kick ass when he's really singing. That's when he had the joy.
@BrianStearns He's not singing live. This is a prerecorded TV track with a different vocal. If you look at some of the closeups, the mic is a foot or more from his mouth, or even behind his back or on the mic stand when he does his spin, yet the volume of his vocal performance didn't change. That's the dead giveaway. But you have great ears to hear that the vocal is different. That's what confuses most people and it's done purposely.
@megavega4 Actually this is live. The back up Vocal is lip sync but Michael is singing the lead live. The mike was never behind his back while he was singing
@KameoKid Actually... you're wrong. If you can find a clip of them doing this song from their "Live In Mexico" performance from 1975, you will see Marlon keeping up with Michael. Marlon was a VERY accomplished dancer who choreographed a large part of their routines. In this performance, you can see that the stage is small, so naturally they gave Michael room to do his thing. The only time Jackie and Marlon joined MJ is when they all lined up.
@KameoKid FALSE...for one, the obvious thing here is that their movement is condensed because of the stage settting...Marlon & Michael are the ones who brought the robotic movements to the group...Jackie always did basic robotic movements because he wasn't as fast as his younger brothers & as usual, anything MJ learned, he perfected more than anyone else...example: Moonwalk..taught to him by Shalamar's Jeffrey Daniel but when MJ put his own swag to it, it became the defining move it is today
@KameoKid they may have just been tired or just starting to perform this song, because I've seen some performances of the song where they were keeping up with Mike lol
He was so cute he's a dance dance dance dance dancing machine watch em git down as he do do do his thing right on the scene da da da dadadada da da da dadadada oo go mikey robot oh oh rock on keep dancin
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
nall stars just wore the same wardrobes back then i know what you saying i seen the same exact afits they wore on two and three differant performances too.
Jackie and Jermaine look alike Then Michael Marlon & Randy look alike And Tito looks just like Joe
In MJ book he said that as they were growing up Tito started to look so much like their dad that it was scary
And to me Janet and Michael look alike if you look at pics of them from 80' to 84'
And Rebbie kinda looks like MJ too
But La Toya dosent look like any1 4rm the family..If you look at family pictures you'll see that she's light-skinned while the rest of the family is brown-skinned
Yeah, go back and look at their 70's pictures Mike and LeToya look just alike and Janet favors Jermaine and Jackie more but she looks most like Randy and Tito... Well Tito is just a Clone of Joe.
If I correctly recall, the first time he did the robot was on Soul Train....Check out Dancing Machine performance with Soul Train signage in the background in related videos. I personally think it was the best of all the ones I've seen.
@WingMcCallister Well Donny Osmond was the LOVE OF MY LIFE back in 1972. Unfortunately Michael wasn't even a consideration back then due to racial issues of that time no matter how much I liked him. I envy the whtie girls that were raised in the 90's that could love him no questions asked. I did like the J5's music though very much!
As a kid, I really enjoyed the music of the Jackson 5 - and I still do, but decades later, I now look at the beauty of these brothers performing together and think what a wonderful time it must have been, and what a loss it is to not just lose their front man, but to lose your beloved brother at only 50 years old.
his dancing is unforgettable! i really doubt if we will ever see anyone come close to what he did. when he did the robot, it blew me away! he has an aura about him that mesmerizes you to amazement!! RIP MJ!
Randy couldn't sing that well. when Michael left the group they added the younger brother Randy to the group and became the Jacksons. Off and on Michael would be featured on a few of their albums. Later in the 80's Jermaine left the group to start his own solo career as well.
Randy was added when they left Motown in the mid 70's(74 or 75) and they had to change their name to the Jacksons for legal reason. Michael was still apart of the Jacksons when they added Randy. This is when they started the variety show. Randy became part of the Jacksons because Jermaine stayed with Motown during this time.

There are talented people and then there are gifted people. Michael is whatever comes after gifted. He's in a class all by himself.

Randy couldn't sing that well. when Michael left the group they added the younger brother Randy to the group and became the Jacksons. Off and on Michael would be featured on a few of their albums. Later in the 80's Jermaine left the group to start his own solo career as well.

Randy was added when they left Motown in the mid 70's(74 or 75) and they had to change their name to the Jacksons for legal reason. Michael was still apart of the Jacksons when they added Randy. This is when they started the variety show. Randy became part of the Jacksons because Jermaine stayed with Motown during this time.

Nah, this was sung live. The music is the studio music. At 1:36, you can hear the original "Move it baby!" shortly after Michael sings "Yeah!."
R.I.P. Michael.
