The Jackson 5 in the studio sounding like they don't quite know what they're doing, not
really holding their harmonies together and Michael though in fine voice, still a little sloppy
with his phrasing....The catch of the day! I love it. More like this, please.....
Excellent post. I don't know how far in the process they were in learning this song. With all of the 'mistakes', I still hear excellent talent. Thank you for sharing this.
Turned out fine in the end.
Yes, it sure did. Don't misunderstand me, I wasn't posting my comments as a insult. IQuote:

Appears to me just to be some young kids being taught harmonies to a chromatically difficult song... I know that the more experienced groups like The Tempts, Tops, Supremes, etc didn't represent a finished product when learning a song and needed to work out the parts... Even Michael stumbled on the lyric a bit...The only thing that counts is the finished product... This particular song, not my favorite J-5 effort, as the song seems to wander at points IMO, however, the bass line is one of Jamerson's classics...
