i think many of you are not realizing the fact that this is how artist actually performed back in the 70's. They actually gave a show. Something worth seeing. Yes the tempo and theme seemed to defer from the Temptations view, but they had to make it unique in their own way, or it would've just been the Temptations up there instead of the Jackson 5.
Randy: "He was my Daddy." Marlon: "He was my Daddy, too!" Michael: "AaaaOoooh! AhhHeeee!!" Tito: "Well, he gone, he gone." Jackie: "Nigga wasn't all that anyway."
That was their youngest brother Randy. He replaced their other brother Jermaine as he stayed at Motown as a solo artist while his brothers went to Epic Records.
Listening to this again tonite. Just had the revelation that Randy (at such a young age) was as gifted as you can be on the Tom Toms and other percussion. I mean he didnt miss a lick! All crisp, tonal___the whole nine yards.
Marlon was quite a dancer as a youngster too, he was born in 1957, 1 year before Michael. We saw them in 1970 !! (my dad's idea to bring the entire family)
They started performing this song in 1973 (2 years earlier) on their tour in Japan and they performed the song waaay better then. The tempo was slower and more like original Temptations version and they had Jermaine helping them out with those vocal harmonies making it sound fuller. They had similar choreography but it worked with a slower tempo and there was no horn section; although I love the horns in this performance.
0:58 Marlon: (sings) It was the third of September. That day I'll always remember, yes I will. 'Cause that was the day that my daddy died. I never got a chance to see him. Never heard nothin' but bad things about him. Mama, I'm depending on you, to tell me the truth. Mama just hung her head and said, son.
Even though I don't like like it when performers speed up on songs, this was an awesome performance by the Jackson 5! And I think that was the reason they sped it up. They did a lot of dancing and aerobatic moves. I liked it when Marlon did that jump-spin!
+Darnell Jones I don't know this for sure, but I had always heard that when a song with a different arrangement (like this one was), the performance royalties are different. Somebody with greater knowledge of the point system will have to back me up, or disprove me on this one. I know it works when artists record live albums, but there are many guidelines about this and I'm not aware of them.
Exactly. This song is suppose to be mournful but they're lively and excited, clapping in unison, flying through the air, doing flips and squats like they're a circus act. That's not the way you're suppose to act, when you find out that your father died, even if they never got a chance to meet him. Hell, even if he was Joe Jackson. That last part was just me trying to be humourous. I actually had A LOT of respect for Joe Jackson. He saw a vision for his kids and made them a success. None of his kids are thugs, jailbirds or drug addicts, except Michael, the most successful one of all. I've never heard of none of the brothers being disrespectful or abusive to their mother, father, siblings, wives or children. For a black man to raise 9 successful and productive children, up from nothing, during the civil rights era is a huge accomplishment by itself but to raise 2 multi millionaire superstars is amazing.
Their performing u know like acting made ut theur own it shows their youth by them going this fast it was disco era remember their father was their for them so its a song
That song is supposed to be sad and mournful but they're cheerful and happy as hell, like they're in a circus, flying through the air like Peter Pan, turning flips and doing squats, while clapping in unison. Nothing at all how one would be expected to act while reminiscing on the day that they found out that their father had died, even if they never had a chance to meet him. On the other hand, their father is Joe Jackson so maybe they were just excited at the thought.
+Arimas Memphis How many people have u met in your life that is/was excited by the thought of their father passing? Especially with these people that you obviously don't know anything about. Are u out of your f'n mind?
LMAO!!! You know what, though? I actually feel sorry for people like you. Your life must be really sad and gloomy. I also suspect that it's rather empty, as well. Let me give you a little advice...Get the stick out of your ass and lighten the fuck up. If that doesn't work, try Zoloft.
Yeah, I think that's for depression, right? If that doesn't work then try smoking a blunt. Try something that will help you chill the fuck out. I can imagine the world could be a pretty depressing place if you don't find something to laugh at and you can start with this video because this shit is funny ass hell.
Arimas Memphis Pardon me if I just don't get what the hell you're talking about. Let's just say that I don't think NOT "chilling out" is YOUR issue. So I guess the message here is that you've smoked a blunt and swallowed some Zoloft. Well, there u have it. I guess this is where I say that I'm impressed?
+MrsD7777 This was in 1975. These boys were grown men. I don't think anybody was going to beat anybody. I think u been watching WAYY to many made for T.V. movies. Remember that was a movie (entertainment), not a documentary. Besides the only brothers that had anything to say about harsh treatment was Michael, and sometimes Marlon. The reality, is they got they're asses beat like all of us in the 60's. Timeout and 'taking away privileges' and all of that assorted stuff didnt come till later. All you got to do is see all of disobedient and hard to control youngsters in this society to see that time-out bull is worthless. End of story.
1:40 Papa was a 'rollin'' stone?? At the speed of an asteroid headin' for Earth?? Just rockin' without that rollin' if y'ask me! 2:42 How'd he get time to 'lay his hat'??! No time to even lay a fart at that speed!
Poor fella was just doing what he had to do before he could get a real platform to show his talents. If he was on the X-Factor he would've crashed and burned before he could make a name for himself. The guy paid hie dues and conquered the whole world.
Sorry, but they killed this song, it´s too fast, out of rhythm. The best cover version is from Phil Collins, it´s the most similar to perfect original version. He sang this song just for refreshing, so also young people can hear and know these 40 years old songs. He did great job.
They their spin on it to be fitting. They were a much younger and funkier group, so their goal wasn't to copy because ut wouldn't be believeable. I like their energetic and entertaining spin. Y'all act like they jumping around singing about abortion, but opinion is just that, opinion.
HHHHHEEEELLLLLLLLLPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP!!!!!!!!!! they shoud have been arrested to play it this way!!! AWFULL! it's like if they all were in hurry to finish and go to piss....
Michael Jackson & the Jackson 5 really did not do justice to "Papa Was a Rolling Stone". I've heard the Temptations classic version with the meaningful and heartfelt base in their voices. This is really a horrible cover--especially when considering the talents of Michael and even the talents of his brothers the Jackson 5. I'm thankful I've had the opportunity to hear better covers of this and Michael Jackson and the Jackson 5 truly utilizing their vocal, musical, dance performance abilities.
Oh my G-d. What a silly show. The meaning of the song is just lost in the production. The dancing is absolutely amazing. But I am sure that Michael wanted to be an artist, a singer, not a dancing Broadway puppet. Come on!!! It really takes away from the authenticity of them as real soul musicians. I am so glad Michael ran away from this!!!! It must have drove him mad. He doesn't look like he's having fun.
i never heard marlon sing lead vocals before and he nailed it

I waited all video to hear Jackie say nigga. I'm disappointed 😂
the kid on the congo was going hard
That’s randy
That was their youngest brother
Randy.
He replaced their other brother
Jermaine as he stayed at
Motown as a solo artist while his brothers went to Epic Records.
Thats randy dawggg
1:59 Did ya see THAT??!! CRAZY BRILLIANT!! WOW!
Michael scatted that shit! Awesome!!!!
Jackson 5, were supreme entertainers, and like no other :)
You can hear more bass than usual in Michaels voice
No he sounds about right...
His vocal range was nuts
Thanks forever Jackson Five!!! The soundtrack of my life. Y'all are the best!!!!!!!!!! Hands down!!!!
Talent runs in the family they can dance

These guys were tight in their day! Well choreographed and everything!
Hhgfuhererioioogdc
Being threatened with a beating would do that
The Jackson's poured everything into their tours...a lot of songs their tempos were expedited so they could stuff all they could in every tour!
Michael is a dancing miracle!
They started performing this song in 1973 (2 years earlier) on their tour in Japan and they performed the song waaay better then.

Marlon was my favorite, growing up as he was only 1 year younger than me. We saw the Jackson 5 in 1970 ( my dad's idea to bring the entire family)
Well a lot of older live music of that time tends to be faster. I heard the temps do it live and it was fast.
Michael Jackson. Is king of the pop. But temptatiions papa was a rolling stone is unbeatable good
Im so sorry but I couldn't stop laughing at 0:32 lol :DD
Michael's ass is peeeerfect.
As usual...a lively performance by the one and only Jackson 5! If you have any more footage if the Jackson 5, please post it!
I didn't ever think I would say this but MJ murdered this. There's been many better versions.
okay, they can sing but this is way to much excitement.
Yea tooooo much goin on🤣🤣

Cute little Randy doing his thing!
good points BUT they were doing it live and they couldn't just do it like The Temps
amensupremera exactly !!
The Jacksons were great at what they did, but this is Temptations territory.
0:01 Bloody hell! The fire alarm?! Wow! Good news!
George Michael does an amazing cover of this song...
I just watched and it was epic.
I Love You Michael But The Tempts Version is a Masterpiece
Dem boys was smooth!
Go 'head Marlon!!!
that was little Randy Jackson

My thoughts exactly.
2:30 My Lord, what a voice. His brothers had to know from the jump that he was way out of their league.
set the play back at .75 and its the tempo of the real one.
1:40 Papa was a 'rollin'' stone?? At the speed of an asteroid headin' for Earth?? Just rockin' without that rollin' if y'ask me! 2:42 How'd he get time to 'lay his hat'??! No time to even lay a fart at that speed!
Can't beat temptations and George Michael. No way near!
Just can’t beat The Temptations, period. The Jacksons were pretty good tho
They can they already did

Tried to do that move at 0:49 and tore my groin :(
That the temptations song
Papa was a rolling stone - 220Volts
This isn't Michael Jackson and the Jackson 5 they were only known as The Jackson 5
MusicLover P actually this group is “The Jackson’s”
Randy was a savage on the bongos
Randy was a monster on those bongos
The arrangement and mood here is unintentionally quite comical when you think about it...

the art of destroying a master piece of music by a bunch of amateurs.
Amatuers? Get a grip dude......They sped up the song? BIG deal.
speed up and a crash ... never heard about transit authority ?
The tempo was a too fast, the music too energetic, and the key a too high. I personally think this was not a good cover.

this was better than the original
you need to lay off the acid
worst version ever
