He sang "You were there" for Sammy Davis Jr

Michael plays piano on "don't be messing around" released on Bad 25.

He also plays drums and guitar on Morphine.

Also michael was the conga player for the Jackson 5 before he became lead...

Michael was good in The Wiz and as the Mayor in his short film Ghosts but overall I don't think he was a fantastic actor [["Katie, I'm so happy to see you" with an expression that suggests anything...

Went to a carboot sale in my teens [[this will have been mid-2000's) and someone was selling vinyl records, 50p for regular 7", £1 for picture discs. I got Michael Jackson and Paul McCartney's The...

Pretty sure the last known recording is from 1971.

The Jacksons did several of their Motown hits on their variety show. What I enjoy is hearing the twist they put on them when given the freedom to do so. I particularly like the way they sing "Just a...

It was recently announced that The Jacksons' 70's albums The Jacksons, Goin' Places and Destiny are getting expanded re-releases on MP3 this year which makes me wonder, do you think we will ever get...

I hope we finally get to hear The Jackson 5's covers of "Ain't no mountain high enough". Supposedly they did one in the vein of Marvin & Tammi and one like Diana Ross.

I'm sure lots of things added to MJ's distorted perception of himself. Primarily his father's abuse, bullying, him feeling uncomfortable in his own skin as a teenager, and having to deal with people...

These are MP3 audio files of those performances.

In case anyone is interested Amazon UK [[not sure about other territories sorry, I'm UK based) are selling MP3 files of some Motown performances from various Ed Sullivan shows.

For example:

When lock down has [[understandably) been extended but you just really really miss your friends and family members.

I feel sorry for him considering him in the context that he was 11/12 years old and his brothers were adding their vocals and he wasn't. Tito can be heard clearly on ABC and other early songs like...

Every time I listen to The Jackson 5's "Live at the forum" album that came out in 2010 I'm impressed with how clearly we get to hear Marlon singing back up. I feel like he hardly appears on the...

I remember the first time I saw the Wiz being really surprised at how low Michael sang at the end of this song.

I was given the Jackson 5's Live in Japan album on purple vinyl today as a Christmas gift and on the back of the OBI it advertises the other coloured vinyls released this year [[Skywriter, Get it...

I emailed Keith Hughes a few years back re: unreleased J5 Christmas songs and he couldn't find anything Christmassy by the group listed 😔

what song[[s) would you have liked to see the boys cover had they done a second Christmas album?

I would have liked to hear them cover "Christmas Everyday" by The Miracles and something traditional...

When I was younger I found the Jackson 5's Maybe Tomorrow pretty boring but now appreciate the beautiful delivery and the melody.

I just got done watching the Jackson 5 and Temptations ones. Whilst it's great more people will be exposed to these Christmas classics I'm a bit disappointed we didn't get animated J5 or temps like...

You can hear it in the background of the final scene of the movie

I hope we one day get an official release of "Ben" from the movie, which sounds different from the version released.

Thanks for sharing a great find. I hope Motown release some alternate takes officially. I know "I wanna be where you are" and "When I come of age" have alternate takes floating around the internet.

The Jackson 5 covered enough songs by The Supremes they could have had a "Jackson 5 sing the Supremes!" album. They did:

I hear a symphony
Touch
Sunny Boy [[I'm your sunny one)
Keep an eye ...

The Jackson 5 sound so young on "What's so good about goodbye". That high note Michael hits with "please" is impressive. Wonder if this was one of the very first songs they recorded?
