Mike is without a doubt the greatest kid singer/talent ever. I've never heard a kid with this kind of vocal power, control, and delivery. He was truly amazing.
Come on Markey let's not get beside ourselves 🙂 Michael and his brothers did a great job with Ready Or Not. But no version and I repeat NO version tops the original version of this song sang by The Delfonics.
@@drock6966 That's right, Michael didn't sing it better than the original or the Stylistics version of "People Make The World Go Round" and "La-La (Means I Love You)" However, "Who's Lovin You" , I Hear A Symphony,"Rockin' Robin", and one of my favorite a Supreme song... Michael Jackson - Love Is Here and Now You're Gone. He killed it or match the original on both of the Supreme songs.
@@Kemet3.0 I agree!! ESPECIALLY the Jackson 5's version of "Who's Loving You". Even Smokey said that song no longer belonged to him Mike sang it so good 🙂
I was born in 1970 but I wonder want it was like to be a teenager during this time. The music , afro, clothes and the bondness that black people shared. The music was about love and soul , wooing that girl not treating her with disrespect. It was so soulfoul.
The Way The Delfonics And The Jackson 5 Did It Was Very Good I Like It Better And The Way They did It I Was almost 13 When Their Third Album Came Out And It Was The Best Version Of Ready Or Not I Have Ever Heard Back Then Here I Am 55 Years Old And That Song Is Now Done By That Actress On Good Luck Charlie.Everytime I Good Song Comes Along Someone Come Along And Ruins It Is Bad Enough That The Fugees Did And Now This They Need To Get Good Songwriters And Leave The Songs By Artist of The 60's Be.
Young Michael was the game, he sounded “cross over” and “pop” without trying to. That made virtually the J5 and MJ catalogs universally appealing. You can play nearly any selection at any time and not offend anyone
Man why does this song make me sad...I used to listen to the Jackson 5 and Michael everyday and now I never do anymore and have been listening to Kpop now specifically BTS or GOT7 and seventeen....I’m even a trainee waiting for a label to pick me so I practice everyday and it’s all kpop and now coming back to this it makes me so hurt it reminds me of how I used to be...with an Afro and learning Michaels moves and where he got his inspiration it was amazing but I put it all to rest now I’m 19 and I have to say thank you Jackson 5 you guys always were there with your music for me during 3rd grade to 12th grade now the scary adulthood starts thank you for being there when I’d have my bad days you gave me life. Goodnight
Joseph and Katherine made some beautiful children.I love seeing old pics of the brothers Jackson.When I think I've seen every old pic....another one comes up.DAMN!!! They must've taken thousands of pics in the 70's
It is terrible to waste this space on anyone who would dare to choose "dislike" for this clip, but it's a free country for ignorant ones too I guess. I am so grateful & thankful to be a kid of the 70s and to listen to this brilliant song with the same love for it as back then. Those amazing voices, the driving force of The Funk Bros, and also that flute near the end. I wish I knew who's excellent idea is was to include it there, but it definitely captures the sound of that time in music. J-5 forever!!!!!
Now I know why I like that Missy Elliot song Sockit To Me. It was sampled from this J5 classic. Along with the melody that was also used by Lauren Hill. Great music never dies...it just keeps getting reborn. A work of art is what this is...J5
You're right, growing up Motown living in Detroit was special; but think about, compared to today's music, you guys in the 80's and early 90's didn't have it too bad. Compare New Jack Swing to today's music. I still love the New Jack Swing! lol.
One thing growin up we had that 2 days kids cant say is we had the jackson five...they really were special always givin sum natural high vibes 2 the world...with micheal and jermaine. Leadin...these boys..were. Pop royalty
@Joyce Patrick My mom did too. She has pics with The Jackson 5 and Ms. Jackson. She was such a big fan Joe Jackson picked her up in a limo while in Kansas City, Missouri to go to their concert. She is still proud to this day to show her pictures with them.
My uncle went to high school with rebbie. My dad was too young to go to school with them and they moved to California too quickly. I visit their house sometimes
@@colonelrobertsjr.7882 Yeah more like a museum, the last time I went there. I think they keep the house clean and repair it every now and then. You can't go in there or anything though.
Wow! Beautiful job of putting this together and perfect song choice. I haven't heard this one in a long time. Brought back a lot of good memories. Thank you!!
I had a friend who knew Jackie Jackson, he's said so many times that Jackie's sex exploits are truly legendary! My friend has sinced passed but everytime I hear this song, I laugh and think about him talking about Jackie Jackson! He also told of Jackson either laughing or with a smile.
Smokey Robinson ( who has seen every RELEVANT performer) says Michael Jackson is the greatest performer he's ever seen.That includes James Brown, Sammy Davis Jr, The Nicholas Brothers you name them.
Yeah dont ever compare Prince To Michael Jackson again. Mike is just on another level that will never be met. Greatest Child star of all time. greatest entertainer that ever lived
I am sorry, my memories are very good and Magical! Grandmother enjoyed this song she would ask us to sing it for her, it was her favorite. She would call it that Hide and Seek song. :)
I totally agree. But check out that Phiily sound...Motown producers had recorded that Philly sound on three of the Jackson 5 Albums. (Particularly Thr Delphonics)...The J5's first album "Can you remember"...The second album, "La LA means I love you" The Third album, " Ready or not" So give credit to those beautiful string arrangements that came out of Philadelphia...
Philly Groove and Motown were contemporaries. And yes, Thom Bell was a genius of geniuses. But don't act as if Motown copied Philly Groove. Both companies listened to each other and fed off of one another's creativity.
a mohammed If my original comment that you responded to is factual (which it is), it is therefore, not "stupid". However, what IS "stupid" is starting an argument over something upon which we both agree. Grow up.
0:15 damn Jermaine has some big ass hands.I remember a celebrity saying the same thing about Michael when they shook hands.It caught him off guard because he never expected MJ's hands to be so big.
when i first discovered this song on youtube i immediatley knew then where lauryn hill on the fugees song "ready or not" got the hook from . it was from this song. and missy elliot sampled the guitar rift in the beginning of the song on her song ft da brat called "sock it to me".Check those out if you get a chance. its' crazy how the jacksons influenced so many artists
@@kevaunthesunflower i didn't know that. ima check that out . but of course i would n't know only being born in 1980 both versions were a bit before my time.thanks though i love discovering the original music that hip hop sampled so much in the 90's

No doubt!!!
Best I ever heard!! Unbelievably Gifted!
Also, the greatest talent period! Fifty straight years!
i hear the Jackson 5 my heart gets happy and sad, happy because this was my childhood and sad because the world has changed so much.
Loved that song.
2024 wow Ready or not by the Jackson 5 sounds great the Delfonics also kill this one unbelievable song 😢
Best version of ready or not!
😎👍
Best version of this song period!

His voice is so pristine here. Luv the brothers too, Excellent
The old michael is just so precious and sweet so is the older mikey but the younger michael is just so pure
😎👍
His eyes never changed. Big ol doe eyes
I can't believe it has been 3 years today that our MJ passed. I love you Michael and you will ALWAYS be in my heart!
Thanks for the memories...we till treasure them forever. I found the deeper cuts were just as great or better than the hit songs...play on
Awesome version. I've noticed that Jackson five song many of The Delfonics classic hit songs and they sung it just as well as them.. Great job MJ #RIP
Jackie and Tito were big fans of The Delfonics so it’d made since that they would cover their music
He is among the greatest of the greatest ballad singers the world will ever see.
the best actually he is the king
2 years ago we lost Michael, but his music lives on.
Pure soul!!
😎✌
God that bassline just keeps me ducking and grooving for days
Nice relaxing J5 music....for when you want to chill with the J5 sound, but not really in the mood for any "Amazing No.1 Hit" excitement.
Omg I have never heard the full song
Wth it's so glorious
The Way The Delfonics And The Jackson 5 Did It Was Very Good I Like It Better And The Way They did It I Was almost 13 When Their Third Album Came Out And It Was The Best Version Of Ready Or Not I Have Ever Heard Back Then Here I Am 55 Years Old And That Song Is Now Done By That Actress On Good Luck Charlie.Everytime I Good Song Comes Along Someone Come Along And Ruins It Is Bad Enough That The Fugees Did And Now This They Need To Get Good Songwriters And Leave The Songs By Artist of The 60's Be.

Jermaine was KILLING that bass
He was not playing..
seeing as how he killed it, that would seem to follow.
but yeah, not Jermaine, mang.
Motown studio musicians played on all of the J5 studio recordings. That’s not Jermaine on Bass.
nice song with this young Michale's voice ! Love it
Love it, what s talented little kid. His brother's sound great on this track too.
Joseph and Katherine made some beautiful children.I love seeing old pics of the brothers Jackson.When I think I've seen every old pic....another one comes up.DAMN!!! They must've taken thousands of pics in the 70's

Killer version with an epic bass line by James Jamerson !!!
it was a very special time and I would not want to be a young person in today's world... too much hate... we were about love and togetherness!
this song been on my mind all day..
!
Ps Much Gratitude
I heard this song on the radio when l was little it was probably a sample this song is AMAZING!!! 😍😍😍❤️
so glad i grew up with Rhythm and Blues/Soul music. So much love. Instead of today's 'nigga nigga bitch bitch bs."
Exactly 💯
The greatest entertainer ever lived 😍😍🥰🥰😘😘
😎👍
That last photo is so beautiful !! RIP Michael...
SUPER....AWESOME.....SUPER.........TUNE.
I LOVE THIS SONG !!!!
70s all that bass guitar yeah! that's the sound with good voices
this song has been in my head for the past week had to come listen

Nobody believed I met them in Gary Indiana, my auntie lived right down the street from them. Jermaine was my favorite.

1st time hearing the Jackson 5 version of this. Didn't know they had one. J5 sings it best in my opinion
👍
I am ready! The porch light is on especially for you, Michael! I am waiting with welcoming loving arms open wide!
so beautiful.
I had a friend who knew Jackie Jackson, he's said so many times that Jackie's sex exploits are truly legendary! My friend has sinced passed but everytime I hear this song, I laugh and think about him talking about Jackie Jackson! He also told of Jackson either laughing or with a smile.
This hq sound is hot ! ! ! 😊 😊 😊
so beautiful! such cute pictures
This song is 🔥!
Omg love this version
Overall, the Jackson Five's THird album was one of their best. Not a bad song on this album.
This song put me in a good mood. Great transitions, they flowed very well with the song. Muy bien
yup How are you in 2022 xD
The Jackson five ready or not here I come
gone to soon... RIP MJ. almost a year now. damn shame
The instruments tho 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Love this song so much!!
Whoa.
Is one of those rare cases where I love the cover better than the original. Michael's voice was on point!

My thoughts exactly!
I am sorry, my memories are very good and Magical! Grandmother enjoyed this song she would ask us to sing it for her, it was her favorite. She would call it that Hide and Seek song. :)
best version!!!!
When young people sang WITHOUT autotune!
SWEET!!!
I am ready Michael! I love you my angel!
I'm Ready! Michael I love you my angel more than you imagine!
I was Joshua Reed when I heard it first, I like this version better. Fugees still did a great job
I like this version as Well,
Delfonics first tho
Que buen tema y tambien su edicion
Buen trabajo Te felicito
RIP, MJ!
Came here after seeing the Peloton commercial. Memories!!
I totally agree. But check out that Phiily sound...Motown producers had recorded that Philly sound on three of the Jackson 5 Albums.

+Kendall Grant Thom Bell.
Bobby Taylor produced this at Motown but Berry Gordy shelved it for newer bubblegum material.
Philly Groove and Motown were contemporaries. And yes, Thom Bell was a genius of geniuses. But don't act as if Motown copied Philly Groove. Both companies listened to each other and fed off of one another's creativity.
Mike killed this with brothers..........salute to the Dells
CHARLIE LUCIOUS What? wrong group
You mean the Delfonics????
that smile at 1:49
I know what'cha mean..priceless...love it
The Ready Or Not you played was still not the original. The original is by The Jackson 5 and it’s called “Ready Or Not (Here I Come)” released in 1970
@OneTrillNigga07 Yes, brown, dark brown.
damn...
💖🎧🎶💃✨💫
😎👍
@MUSICAHOLIC999 its The Delfonics-Ready Or Not Here I Come
Hands up if you come to this song by GTA V
@Mario856 - Because today's artists are clueless.
*COVER DONOR: "Ready Or Not", by The Delfonics (1968)*
***** we all know who the original is by just enjoy it

didn't know the fugee's sampled this!!! but michael is the best!!!
2019
OMG they were soooo cute!!! Michael looked so much better when he was black too! (& yes he was Black)!
He was always black. Vitiligo doesn't take away your race. What an ignorant thing to post.
Redid this song and did it so much better than the delfonics

Never knew they sampled this from Delfonics then Lauren ...
It's The Delfonics, The J5, and then the Fugees
Wouldn't it just be considered a remake?
