At about 1:20, the way Ali looks at Michael and says "my man", and smiles is a beautiful moment. Ali and Michael and J5 fans, check it out, I'm telling you it's priceless.
+Mike Ruggieri It was priceless. Even Ali was in awe of Michael. He knew he was sitting next to an amazing artist and the future King Of Pop. That interviewer should forever cherish the moment that he got the chance to have a Muhammad Ali and a Michael Jackson in the same room. Nothing tops that
+paidenthusiast He wasn't in awe of a teenaged Michael and no one assumes someone is going to be the " king of pop". He saw the boys grow up and developed a kinship with them.
Muhammad Ali protected Michael and redirected the interviewer’s question to the the Jackson’s advisers, managers and poppa Joe. Love this man and his mission. RIP Ali, Michael and Mr. Jackson.
his arm was around his waist like that because back then people didn't have such dirty thoughts, not everything was gay. A mans arms around the waist of another mans arms is just an arm around the waist
Exactly, that's how grandmas do their grandchildren, people have such sick messed up minds now days, that's they think about is garbage. Ali has been knowing the J5 sense they were kids in 1971, I've seen pictures of it.
Mohamed Ali is so handsome and well-spoken, but that Michael Jackson man he is so beautiful and gentle. I love this footage, nothing but gold and legends.
Mohammed Ali: "...one of them's here! come here man, come here!" Interviewer: "They'll come out a little later." Mohammed Ali: "NO, they're coming out now! I'M the boss ... come here, sit down here and show how pretty you is." Lol, hilarious. Love it.
if he used his voice in every one of his tour shows, he would not have any left, it would damage his vocal chords. artists are inspired by other artists and adopt/ use things from everyone. there is nothing wrong with that. i mj always said he learned from others. he took a little from everything he saw, made it up into something that was originally his and did the best that anyone could do. he was the best entertainer that ever lived and ever will. because he wanted to please the audience cuz he loved them dearly.
Muhammad Ali, he was so passionate about making a change. Looking up to someone like that it's no wonder Micheal Jackson is the greatest. These guys are so inspiring
OMG look at Ali and MJ...Ali really responds to him with genuine affection...Everyone who REALLY knew MJ were instantly drawn to him, and said he was very warm and loving, and even if they had just met him it felt like he was a long lost friend...How could you debate that he was so sweet :D
+AMANDA BLACKWELL I agree. You got the greatest boxer of all-time, one of the greatest singing groups of all-time and of course the greatest musical artist/entertainer of all-time. It's very overwhelming
This was a very big interview, letting people know that great minds think alike, " Helping to make the world a better place for the entire human race." Love it.
Muhammad Ali was pychic, because 8 years after that interview, Michael Jackson, Lionel Richie and others united to make We Are The World and help underprivileged across the globe, as Muhammad Ali foretold
+Destiny Sulfridge I agree Destiny. Muhammad Ali, Michael Jackson and The Jackson 5 all in the same room is a real treat for anyone. I would've been bawling my eyes out if I was that interviewer, that was a very special moment
you could see how the jackson 5 looked up to Ali like a big brother, this is so beautifull. ali always trying to help disadvantage people. i wonder have this dream of ali ever been meterialised?
Absolutely The Jackson fire was the biggest black teenage group at that time All the teenagers like them Any time you had Ali in your corner that's a big deal at that time
anybody who has no respect for this man is just flat out IGNORANT! he's tellin the TRUTH! He was a very outspoken man and if he see somethin he don't like he will tell u! He defended our african american race! He's a true black hero! There are very few that are like this man.
My goodness Michael was so gotdamn appealing...women and even MEN couldnt keep their hands off him...Ali NEVER did let Michael go! My God he was like a huge ass magnet....him and Ali were pretty as hell!
Thank you JUSTLUVUS for posting this historic footage "1977 interview of muhammad Ali with The Jackson 5 Part 1". I know that our beloved Mr. Michael Joseph Jackson was listening very carefully to Mr. Ali who talked about many important social issues of that time and issues that continue to exist. Michael saw himself as an citizen of the world. He indeed was an embassador of the world. Mr. Ali has always had a mammoth, charismatic, passionate personality. As a child I was in awe of Mr. Ali.
I am a Christian which means I accepted Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior and I model my life after Him. Throughout my entire life I have always respected and appreciated Mr. Muhammad Ali. As a child I was moved and inspired by his confidence and powerful rhetoric.Mr. Ali continues to give immeasurable joy to this world. "
Very nice vid...It kind of makes me teary to think of the way both Ali and MJ's lives ended up...Ali "silenced" by Parkinson's and MJ... :( All of them were very beautiful black men..TY for the upload..
0.32 LOL he saw michael walking in the background but didn't know which J5 member he was "There's one of them now!!" he screams excitedly.LOL "..crouch down let em see how pretty you is!!!"His grammar cracks me up.OMG so funny.Can't stop laughing at that part.
Michael Jackson was a great humanitarian ..he gave away 359 million dollars... & no one knew until he died! Mj was listening to Ali..even if the reporter thought Ali was bs! Mj believed Ali. still missin' Mj :(
This is fantastic, and also the first time i've viewed and heard this idea. What happened? Where is the hotel? What happened to all the celebrities that were going to kick in; invest? It's still very possible. Thank you. Mr. Ali may very well be the greatest in many aspect of the living. Unfortunately, something happened along the way. The right people (financial investors) never got together and/or agreed on anything. No architects, builders, philanthropists, entrepreneurs and etc, came together to make that idea into a reality. So sad. Too many ideas, dreams and ambitions never saw the light of day. Together we stand. Divided we fall. It still applies.
Mohammed ali was brave inteligant never afraid of telling the truth about hw black people need to help each other and black rich individualls to wake up and do something fr their own communities and make black people get togethor in order to be connected to each other , that was muhammed ali may Allah grant u his paradise , amen
Hahaha @ "y'all pretty" lol he got that right - they are pretty... those Jackson boys are so good looking, they got the "pretty" genes from their mama :) especially Mike!
Wow, Ali didn't let the interviewer get a word in edgewise! I like that, the less time you give to interviewers to talk, the less stupid questions they get to ask. ...Ali started something good here, something I think MJ continued. Few people acknowledge how much Michael stood up for the rights of black artists.
Woah. I feel like a tornado just spun me around and spit me out after listening to Ali. He was going a mile a minute. I wonder what MJ was thinkin'. I got the impression the interviewer didn't like Ali. Loving Ali and MJ in the same room.
@dulcerose16 i noticed that too.People always touching him hugging kissing him.They'd be talking to him and calling his name constatntly in the same sentence.He should have worn a sign that says "I AM NOT A TOY". I saw the director of thriller tickling the bottom of Michael's foot. Gosh... he really is irresistable. i think God spent a lot of time on him. Jackie is very handsome too but you don't really want to tickle him. I just love looking at Michael. If i were married to him I'd smother him
I don’t think this was 1977 tho cuz you can see randy still looked small here like maybe this is during 74-75 cuz Randy was that height in those years and mike looked like that in 74 not in 77 in 77 he had more masculine features and kinda thicker than that he was still pretty thin there just like 74 so maybe the date in the title is kinda wrong
LOL!!! ohmigosh im dyin right now! this is hilarious!!!how ali is just holdin on to Mike like the whole time...he looks soo scared lol. aww poor baby lmao
He has his arm around him because he loves him! genuinely and purely loves him like an innocent little brother. the hyper sexualization gets worse every decade they want you guys constantly thinking sex sex sex and back then men were more comfortable in their sexuality and putting your arm around a young boy wasn’t “gay” also black people loved each other more back then because of the oppression they wanted show love and stick together. Don’t be stupid.
Yah it’s like he’s just protecting and refraining him from falling, it’s like brotherly love that apparently for people now it already looks sexual to them, cuz they used their green minded brains all the time

So true man
+paidenthusiast No one assumes someone is going to be the "king of pop". He saw the boys grow and up and developed a kinship with the family.
+paidenthusiast He wasn't in awe of a teenaged Michael and no one assumes someone is going to be the " king of pop". He saw the boys grow up and developed a kinship with them.
Yes this is two of the greatest are gone be never forgotten
Mohammad Ali the greatest all time .Michael Jackson the greatest all time
This is so legendary.MJ and Ali !!!
Two greatest ever.
The best boxer with the best entertainer
Muhammad Ali protected Michael and redirected the interviewer’s question to the the Jackson’s advisers, managers and poppa Joe. Love this man and his mission. RIP Ali, Michael and Mr. Jackson.
Michael was personally mentored by all the greats, both black and white.. And he put all he learned to good use. He really was special.
so true. he is the Greatest entertainer ever, in any field. just perfect, a special man.
Stop trying to get credit white boy
Not to mention raw talent. The man was blessed.
Michael never had white
his arm was around his waist like that because back then people didn't have such dirty thoughts, not everything was gay. A mans arms around the waist of another mans arms is just an arm around the waist
you tell em. Sick motherfuckers we live amongst these days.
Exactly, that's how grandmas do their grandchildren, people have such sick messed up minds now days, that's they think about is garbage. Ali has been knowing the J5 sense they were kids in 1971, I've seen pictures of it.
its just dumb standards put by today's ignorant society,
one does not easy call ali gay
yeah for a guy that had been married four times and has seven daughters and two sons. you cant really call him gay
SO MUCH RESPECT FOR ALI, God bless him
Michael is listening so intently..
He once said "Follow the great Be the greater"
Can you blame him?
The Jacksons were so quiet and respecful♥️
Ali is so protective of Micheal. I love that. The greatest stands up for the greatest.
i love, love love how ali protected michael when the interviewer tried to drag him into ali's affairs
So true bro!
Usman Hussain true💔😢❤️May Allah grant them Jannah
Wait when did he say that?
@@graciemacie13 Throughout the video whenever the interviewer would ask such piercing questions to michael
@@usmanh770 oh right urgh the interviewer was annoying but I laughed so hard when Ali would be like don't talk to Mike 😂😅
Wow! Michael Jackson and Muhammad Ali in the same room! How is it the world didn't implode from the awesomeness of this!!!!!!
Mohamed Ali is so handsome and well-spoken, but that Michael Jackson man he is so beautiful and gentle. I love this footage, nothing but gold and legends.
My hero pop king and boxing RIP.
Man, I love the champ. I shook his hand when I was a kid. Will never forget that.
Mohammed Ali: "...one of them's here! come here man, come here!" Interviewer: "They'll come out a little later." Mohammed Ali: "NO, they're coming out now! I'M the boss ... come here, sit down here and show how pretty you is." Lol, hilarious. Love it.
+Vendeta Asskicker Stop talking nonsense, no one is interested in what you are talking about.
+Vendeta Asskicker stop chatting shit jackson was original, you idiot.
if he used his voice in every one of his tour shows, he would not have any left, it would damage his vocal chords. artists are inspired by other artists and adopt/ use things from everyone. there is nothing wrong with that. i mj always said he learned from others. he took a little from everything he saw, made it up into something that was originally his and did the best that anyone could do. he was the best entertainer that ever lived and ever will. because he wanted to please the audience cuz he loved them dearly.
Vendeta Asskicker the second someone calls Michael "Jacko", a rude demeaning name he hated, it's over. no credibility.
Vendeta Asskicker
And who are you ??
I loved when Ali said to Michael, "My man."
I love how Muhammad Ali keeps interrupting the interviewer 😂😂😂.And his voice is hilarious
Look how excited and happy he is to see them! Pure love! This man was in love with black people! Beautiful!!!!!
"...I'm tha boss, I'll go upside yo head.." 😆😆...Ali was a funny man!
bmentlow 🤣
Muhammad Ali, he was so passionate about making a change. Looking up to someone like that it's no wonder Micheal Jackson is the greatest. These guys are so inspiring
Rest in peace Champ
4:24 "They ain't gon have hits all their life" well MJ actually did lmao
OMG look at Ali and MJ...Ali really responds to him with genuine affection...Everyone who REALLY knew MJ were instantly drawn to him, and said he was very warm and loving, and even if they had just met him it felt like he was a long lost friend...How could you debate that he was so sweet :D
I’ve never hear those things about MJ. Who said that?
2 of the greatest of all men!
#ALI
#JACKSON
#GOAT
RIP 🙏 GENTLEMEN!
I can't help but crack up. This interview is funny. But can I say All Legends in the building!!!
Algerian_RainDrop lol I couldn't stop laughing...
+Vendeta Asskicker hater. You can't do anything Michael did.
yes i can not copy dozens of dancers as MJ did . yes you are right :P
Marlon Foster nor i can turn from a guy into a women :o yes i can not do anything which Mj did :P
+AMANDA BLACKWELL I agree. You got the greatest boxer of all-time, one of the greatest singing groups of all-time and of course the greatest musical artist/entertainer of all-time. It's very overwhelming
Ali and the J5 showed each other mutual respect and true love. So beautiful to see.
Wow this is so amazing.... man how times have changed . Rip MJ and Ali . Both truly are THE GOAT
This was a very big interview, letting people know that great minds think alike, " Helping to make the world a better place for the entire human race." Love it.
Do you mean it was big at the time?
A better place for Black people.
I feel like knocking out the interviewer because he keeps interrupting when Muhammad Ali is talking.
I noticed that, I didn't care for the interviewer. Muhammad Ali was the real deal.
He may sound crazy but he's telling the truth.
He don't sound crazy at all.
If someone’s tellin the truth I don’t think that’s crazy lol
In a crazy world like this of course he sound crazy 🤣🤣🤣 but just like you said....... HE TELLING THE TRUTH
He sound like my gradpa, loud but real lol
Just sounds passionate and sane af to me. Wish more ppl got excited in a jovial loving way like this.
Thats Michael Jackson...Just to touch him is an honor..Thats Muhammad Ali..
Muhammad Ali was pychic, because 8 years after that interview, Michael Jackson, Lionel Richie and others united to make We Are The World and help underprivileged across the globe, as Muhammad Ali foretold
My 2 Heros' meet each other!!! Awesome michael jackson and Muhammad Ali . Sweet
the interviewer is such a buzzkill. But I loved seeing Ali and Michael with his brothers
+Destiny Sulfridge I agree Destiny. Muhammad Ali, Michael Jackson and The Jackson 5 all in the same room is a real treat for anyone. I would've been bawling my eyes out if I was that interviewer, that was a very special moment
paidenthusiast Yeah lol. He didn't know how lucky he was.
paidenthusiast well as an interviewer you have to control your emotions.
Pessimistic all through the interview.
So good to se Ali holding Michael Jackson like his son.
you could see how the jackson 5 looked up to Ali like a big brother, this is so beautifull. ali always trying to help disadvantage people. i wonder have this dream of ali ever been meterialised?
I think Ali has been Michael's biggest influences as far as bring about positive change in the world.
Absolutely The Jackson fire was the biggest black teenage group at that time All the teenagers like them Any time you had Ali in your corner that's a big deal at that time
They were unofficially family Michael used to go to his house and they used to talk and play they were very close
@@KD400_I’ve never heard that before. Do you know where you heard that?
@@jr9249 laila ali talked about it. She used to come home from school and see them in the house
*Michael walks in the camera shot*
Interviewer “Hi Jermaine, how you doing?”
😂😂😂😂
Just I love Ali and Jackson soooooo much....
Wow I didn’t know Muhammad Ali was chill like that it’s great I like how honestly he talks
I love Mohammad Ali such a good human being. May Allah place him in Jannatul Firdaus, Amiin. Love ❤️ from Malaysia.
anybody who has no respect for this man is just flat out IGNORANT! he's tellin the TRUTH! He was a very outspoken man and if he see somethin he don't like he will tell u! He defended our african american race! He's a true black hero! There are very few that are like this man.

Ali was never crazy but he was definitely radical about our people... black people.
Caramba é como se agente voltasse, no tempo, vendo duas Lendas! Ali é Jackson.😢🇧🇷
シンプルで熱いまっすぐなアリの言葉。その後マイケルも世界を変えた。あなたたちが本当に大好きだ！Muhammad and Michael are the great persons in this world. Love you guys!
Love this man . yes brothers need to support each other. economic power.
Brother Muhammad Ali spoke some very powerful & much needed words here!!! Pay attention! Then move on what he said = group economics!!!
The King of Pop and the King of boxing oh god! 🔥🔥

Love Mohammed Ali!...R.I.P. Champ! Miss you man!
Ali more than a legend
Rip Michael & Ali Allah yerhamo
it's cute how he is holding on to Michael like he is a little kid while he is 18/19 years old.
And this is one of the reasons they poisoned him, he was for his people.
lol ali said
''get over here show them how pretty you is''
Oh my god! Muhammad Ali is making that interviewer work!
0.32 LOL
he saw michael walking in the background but didn't know which J5 member he was "There's one of them now!!" he screams excitedly.LOL
"..crouch down let em see how pretty you is!!!"His grammar cracks me up.OMG so funny.Can't stop laughing at that part.
Unity is a beautiful concept that can be a reality!
omg he is loud he said '' come on sit down and show them how pretty you are'' lol
Michael Jackson was a great humanitarian ..he gave away 359 million dollars...
& no one knew until he died! Mj was listening to Ali..even if the reporter
thought Ali was bs! Mj believed Ali.

"Every little girl wanna marry one of 'em" ain't that the truth! Every big girl too :) lol
@dulcerose16 i noticed that too.People always touching him hugging kissing him.They'd be talking to him and calling his name constatntly in the same sentence.He should have worn a sign that says "I AM NOT A TOY".
