This is fantastic! Anyone 2024 ?
Yes. Awesome memories
Anyone 2098
Yes indeed
Love the Jacksons didn’t grow up in the 70s but I connect with the music and Michael is so mesmerizing can’t take my eyes off of him 😍🥰💛
2024
Whoever’s idea it was to put these classic Johnny Carson excerpts on RUclips is a genius! Us older folks really appreciate it!
Younger too! All new to me
@@lisam7511 ❤️🙌🏾
🙋🏾♀️❤️🙌🏾
EXACTLY!❤️❤️❤️
You must have missed the years 2006-2020. That's 14 years of Johnny Carson episodes uploaded to RUclips Steven. And they weren't excerpts either. They were the complete shows by real fans, not this edited and shortened stuff. Did you just discover RUclips?
Michael's dancing around a CORDED mic was impressive in and of itself.
You noticed that too. 😊
Right. I would have tripped without a cord. Lol.
I noticed that too.
That’s what I said ❤
Magic! ❤
5:00 “..and I’m Michael”. Goosebumps. Who would’ve thought that kid was going to rule the music industry. ❤️❤️
I legit wrote the same comment lol
I put up my comment before reading yours right underneath. We must have some out of world connection.
And that in 10 years time, he would sweep the Grammies in 1983 because of "Thriller"...in fact, on the 1984 broadcast, Mickey Rooney even quipped about "what a pleasure it was to be on the 'Michael Jackson Show.'"
Michael just exudes musicality...such a natural to performance!!
Who thought he would turn into a freak show
Michael's voice soars above the rest like a silver bell.
He sounds awful, coming from someone that's no longer a teen back when this TV show aired, lol he sounds like a young kid with a poor singing voice, keep it real.
@@mlane8980 Keeping it really, REALLY real - MJ growing up,
Michael's voice was changing.

Todays acts could never everrrr come close to this polished perfection live vocals real instruments charisma the moves I gotta keep coming back to these old performances RIP Michael 🐐
Hopefully your being sarcastic 😂, there standing there with mics 😂
Love the Jackson family saw them in concert years ago the best concert I have ever been to
"and I'm Michael." Biggest understatement of all time. Miss you MJ! ❤️
Haha! YES!! I thought the same thing!!
Imagine if Michael said, and I'm the king of pop 😄
Jonny would be like huhhh??
@@drwakeup2407 🤣🤣🤣
@@drwakeup2407 He'd have said "The Beatles are and always will be bigger than you, as will ELvis, so think again about attempting to weaken their brand, also stay away from young boys when you become an adult. "
@@Mozart1220 Don't hate, Michael Jackson is the king of pop.
I like that Johnny gave them the opportunity to introduce themselves individually. That was a very respectful move as there was always so much focus on Michael.
Johnny did great with them!
Yes. Because Johnny probably watched them rehearse and he saw the talent of THE GROUP.
He was there in the early years. I wish we more knew more about him and Ronnie since they lived and shared a room with Jackie (Ronnie) and Tito (Johnny)
@@Liltopda225 Your statement is true, but the Johnny being spoke of here is Johnny Carson.
@@mcclendonreportsorry read that wrong
The Jackson Five was so darn good. What a talented family. You see how Michael had that charisma from day one!
He was lead singer since he was 5 and was 10 when they got signed. Dancing was like second nature to him.
@@MsThebeMoon Well aware.
and before he became the pedophile freak he ended up.
And he knew it, too.
I wouldn't consider when this was filmed as Day 1.
So cute hearing them talk about their "little sister Janet." 🥰
Yes, she became a superstar too.
@@Rob_Kates Such an amazing superstar. Loved her on Good Times, Different Stokes, and Fame.
Yes, Did you see Michael's big smile when he said her name... I just love MICHAEL ❤️
They didn't say anything about Reebie 😢
And the smile on Michaels name when he mentioned her 🥰
Michael had such a distinctive voice. He was a unique talent. He started questioning the overlords and they took him out.
Ugh... Never will we see such a natural talent like Michael again. He's just perfection, always has been. So great to have performances throughout his career to go back and watch.
Too bad they all didn't stay together like they said they were gonna 😢😢MIchael would probably still be alive
So true!
Hot and Accurate 🥰
@@roshaudgroomes7252 Truth, which we do not like:
- there is no billions of years, there is only 6000 years.
- The UFOs have always been the FALLEN ANGELS. Fallen angels and the devil is not a myth.
- there is no planets, there is only plane knows as EARTH.
- there is no cosmos, there is HELL - EARTH - WATERS - THE KINGDOM OF GOD.
- there is no evolution, there is the CREATIONS OF GOD.
- there is no humans being only carnal being, there is HUMANS - being created after the image of GOD. (Human being = SPIRIT BEING).
- the reality is not that live however you like, you still be in heaven. The reality is, COME TO REPENTANCE - BORN AGAIN, DO THE WILL OF GOD = THE NARROW ROAD TO HEAVEN.
Matthew 7:21
The truth we don`t like:
- we are sinners who are called to repentance and to born again, Luke 13:5 , John 3:7
- we are called back home with renewed minds and hearts, yet many shall reject the calling and perish into the torment.
- we live under demonic power, the evil spirits in high places: Ephesians 6:12
- there is a risk to be a lukewarm and a cast away. Revelation 3:15 , Luke 9:25
- the final A.I shall be humans themselves, Spirits in-prisoned into the machine, wishing to die, yet no death for them. Revelation 9:6
- as time pass by, there be more and more betrayals, among families:
¤ son against his father, father against his son,
¤ daughter against her mother, mother against her daughter,
¤ mother in law against daughter in law
…...
Pure greatness
Those young men were so polished and just professionals
That Motown training!
You said polish..huhuh
"Our little sister, Janet, she always wanted to get into show business." Word.
More like she didn't have choice
She's in her 50s and 60s. If she wanted to stop acting or singing, she could have like The Olsen Twins did when she became of age. Yet, she still love touring and performing.
I loved Janet when I was a teenager. My mom freaked out when she found me dancing 😲 and hiding Janet's tapes and CD's in my room. ( I was a closeted Jackson fan...my parents are ultra conservative missionaries. 😁 I wasn't even supposed to be dancing lol. )
@Beth A .... The way you described your situation reminded me of the movie Footloose.
LoL 😁
@@betha.6279 freaked out for what? It’s just music. Geesh. Folks wonder why Christian’s are despised in the world.
Johnny Carson the greatest host ever. We still miss you. MJ was a dancing machine. RIP both of you.
Man! Michael's vocals and style of singing is undoubtedly spectacular.
I always love hearing Michael Jackson sing! What talent!
Linda Michael was a legend.... How are you doing my dear friend ?
YES YES SO SMOOTH
This is one of his finest performances.
Great seeing the magnificent ‘ Jackson 5’…
Was pleased to here they had just returned from Senegal in Kemet/ Abulkan /Africa.🎉🙌🏾
Wanted Micheal to speak more on the experience. He said ‘ it’s a beautiful country’.🙌🏾
Would love to see filming of them there💎.
Nice interview!..
I appreciate it.
Ashe’
Little did we know back then that Michael would become one of the biggest pop stars in history... He was a great performer even back then
So true! He was a "Star" right out the gate -- BUT!! look at the brothers!! So polished and stage precise! We forget how very skilled the entire group presented. Each & every one of them, PROS!!
and he liked little boys/sad.
Not one of. But, THE biggest pop stars in music history.
Plenty of people knew he was going to be a superstar, even before this night.
@@artmcpharlin6730 ..when you come from a culture where child molestation is the norm, it's easy to believe the lies. Multiple investigation and zero evidence
Michael 's voice really stands out! I really miss his genius and talent
Yeah, what a shame he turned into a drug addicted, pedophile freak.
If Cab Calloway and other older greats hadn’t invented the moonwalk, I wonder what Jacko would have ended up turning into
@@mariehughes5516 it's not Jacko, it's Jackson. Get it right.
Well thats how leveling microphones, arranging for the group harmonies/lead vocals works you fkng retrd.
❤
The Jackson's were outstanding at best. Looking at this gem of a performance, I couldn't take my eyes off Michael. His talent back then, and to date is unmatched. There will never be another like him. Just my personal opinion. 😊
They had to be. Papa Joe
I grew up with Michael Jackson. He was 21 days older than me. When I heard he had passed away I was at work & I stood in the middle of the hallway & just cried. I hope you found the peace & joy that were absent in your life here on earth.
We all hope to die in our sleep.
@@worldwideentertainmenttv The greatest ever. RIP Michael.
✨👌💯
Always in awe of this guy Who is same age as me… When I was 10 years old it was great to watch another 10 yr old do what he was doing...J5 are the best....Just wishing it had gone better for Michael at the end...
@@jamesritchie6344 That's exactly how I feel. We grew up together. From the J5 concerts to the J5 cartoon.
Watching Michael spin without getting tangled up in the mic cord 🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥 🤩🤩🤩🤩
IKR 🤩🤩🤩
That was a skill in the days of wired mics. Hold the mic out and switch hands while you turn. 💃🏽💃🏽😁
Nikita Murphy, exactly! Just like @ 13:02 where there's obviously NO switching of the hands. Michael Jackson = Pure Magic! Genius!
Yessss, I thought I was the only person who said thought that 😂!
I noticed that, too!!🔥🔥
Nowadays if you were to listen to the same genre of music it would be all pre-recorded backing tracks and vocals, then you see these soft-spoken guys on stage and realize they’re playing all their own instruments and doing all the harmony… pure talent.
Exactly! Miss it so.much!
Because there was no other choice !
You can tell that they all genuinely loved and respected each other . What an amazing family and RIP Michael
This was epic. Carson was such a pro at interviewing. He always knew how to draw out his guests, especially young people or adults who were a little shy.
WHATSAPME scam above. WATCH OUT!
@@jonahansen REPORT THEM!
@@dee_dee_place Hitting the report thingey just prevents you from seeing it. They never do anything about it.
everyone had to pay their dues and be the best at what they did back in the day.
Johnny was The Very Best Hands Down ☺☺😎💯💯
And it's live people no auto tune , the best . Jackson 5 forever ♥️ ❤️ 💙 💖
I grew up in Metro Detroit when Motown was going on in real time, it was amazing to hear all that music on the radio every day. 😊
Auto tune - the worst thing to come along in the music industry. Can't stand it.
Playback
Until the mid 1990s, singers had to actually sing. Which is why if you watch bands from the early 1990s and before, they sound the same live as they do on records. That’s not 100%. Milli Vanilli lip synced to prerecorded vocals. (But the guys who actually sang those songs sounded great live) The same producer, Frank Farian, created another group called Boney M; in the 1970s. None of the people in that band sung on the record. They did lip synced performances with a ton of back up singers who were actually singing. Boney M never had their record skip, so the general public had no idea that they weren’t really singing. And they were a German group. Europeans aren’t as upset about lip syncing as Americans are.
@@katrinaolsen2444 Daddy Cool!
There will never be another Michael Jackson - he left us way too soon. Miss you Michael!
It’s incredible to see a live recording of The Jacksons doing their thing and watching Michael Jackson, be The Michael Jackson at such a young age. What a blessing to have found his passion at a young age and literally be able to do it for the rest of his life.
They are all so soft-spoken, almost shy seeming. So different than when they sing on stage. They seem to have great respect for one another.
You can tell they had terribly strict parents. It is what it is. That is why they were so good.
it's not bad being strict with your children especially when you have plans for them. Their parents are the reason why we watching them today. Respect
@@younglion7099 yes but in this case their father was abusive. It was more than just being strict.
Joe was hooked up into the elite mind control practices.People do not understand what's behind the entertainment industry, and it was alive and well back then too
@@HeatherLikesArt abusive by who's standards? Sit yo weak azz in the corner. He kept those children out of jail and coffins.
Timeless true talent. Respect to all of them. When music was actually played and performed by talented artists.
Not true. We have timeless amazing talent like Beyonce now.
yes im being sarcastic 😆 🤣
@@scienz thank God you were being sarcastic 🤣🤣
Exactly!
Agreed! No profanity, and lyrics you can understand,
@@lindahemphill7146 You truly believe Beyoncé has no talent? Do you also believe Michael Jackson is not a pedophile but merely liked hanging around young boys and having them sleep over?
"And I'm Michael...." Oh yes, your Michael. Mr Carson had no idea how famous 'Michael' was going to be.
An this was actually live and not lip synced. Two of the best. Legends live forever
Nah... you have to explain the Saxophone and Trumpet sound first before stated that this is actually live and no lip synced. if it live there will be one talented members can beat box the saxophone sound like.
I think Doc Severinsen’s NBC Orchestra was accompanying off-screen
The keyboard did synthetic horns etc. I am amazed to see this WAS indeed performed live!
@@DeedeeEntertainment Probably not on a Clavinet and Fender Rhodes. And those horns are real, not synth brass.
Ron U. above is likely to be right:
"I think Doc Severinsen’s NBC Orchestra were accompanying off-screen"
In those days everyone lip synced. It was commonplace.
What a concept, real instruments, talented singers! We sadly will probably never see the likes of this, ever again! These men were so talented! R.I.P. Michael Jackson.
Never say never ! Everything o" old" is new again 🙂👍‼️☮️✨
Hahahaha you really think Micheal is dead
@@ntcrawford722 lol like. 💔😅 They don't see it do they?
Annnnndd, no Auto tune
You're right. People stopped playing musical instruments in 1974.
Michael's passion and energy overpowered a very talented group.
The way these guys can just turn it on, on a dime and launch into Dancing Machine like that is insane. They were seasoned professionals.
Such a nice family of well spoken, well mannered, respectful, polite and extremely talented young men. What a great period in musical history.
Yeah in front of the camera. The Jackson's had some some serious issues.
@@thankthelord4536 what issues? Explain
Have you been living under a rock your entire life?
@@gwendolynwilliams1730 for one they have been traumatized by their father Joe Jackson with beatings and being exposed at an early age to adult venues and sex. Their home must've felt like prison camp. Randy and Jermaine Jackson shared the same woman and had kids with her which is an issue. Are they siblings or cousins? MJ and his shaninigans through out the late 80s and beyond. Changing his nose, color. Sister Latoya is crazy. Not to mention holding your child over a high story balcony railing. Very defunctional imo.
@@mrsj1417 As a matter of fact, I have.
How does Michael spin consistently without tripping over the cord??? That takes a great deal of confidence!
by switchin the mic with hands while spinning .. takes lots of practice and he mastered it top notch
Look carefully. There was no chord.
@@nathelondon3719 sir, you need some glasses
@@ricardoleizer😂😂
@@ricardoleizercard was on the Mike so you are right
From the times it was necessary to tell Michael Jackson: "Please.introduce yourself" Wow, what a gem! Thanks for uploading this.
Thank you RUclips...Being able to access these videos of my pops and uncles from before I was before is such a treat.
It's amazing how MJ never got tangled up in the mic cord while dancing in any of their shows.
Smooth operator!💞
Most talented family ever
I’m “51” and I still love them (J5) to this day… I miss you Michael Jackson 😢
September 2022🥰
Cheers! 🍷 Ms. FaLisa JaNaye' I am a fan. Peace
Michael Jackson just getting warmed up!
That's what I thought... just a taste of what was to come...
@@Anna.Lippert His style didn't change much, he just got older. Same with Jermaine, you can see that they already had their signature styles here. Different dance moves, same Micheal.
Definition of Greatness.. I wish they’d shown Michael’s entire robot dance. 🕺 🤘🏼✌🏼
I’m gonna keep my eye on that Michael he looks like he’s going places, kids got talent
What??
Lol 😂
He is only good with the group. U will see .. if he ever try a solo career .. we will never hear of him again. Trust me. I know those things.
If an artist is judged by the aggregate of his work, then MJ will be remembered for ever. Pure talent for his time 💫
For all time!
Michael will be remembered for his crazy plastic surgeries and his parties with 10 year old boys
@@Hugh_Bleffner Nope.
@@Hugh_Bleffner. only by the media who don’t want to research the truth.
For all times !! There is no one like him now. And no vids of music like his ever before, or after.
Looks like Johnny Carson really like Randy. Johnny knows exactly what people need and he probably knew Randy needed a little bit of that. The Jacksons were so polite and gentlemen.
Amazing. So shy and quiet during interviews, but as soon as they get on stage, they rock the crowd!! Their energy and personalities come out of nowhere!! Lol
When I was six years old, the Jackson 5 was my first concert. Memories!
If you study Michael Jackson’s dancing,
said it’s completely iconic.
Speechless and Timeless.
Hello 👋 There
How are you doing?
That's not marketing. That's talent.
My brothers and I had all of their Christmas albums in the 70's. We watched their cartoons, too! Good Times!! Love the Jacksons live performances. They stepped up to the plate EVERY time! ♥ Michael, you were too beautiful for this world.
Indeed. When I read your comment I immediately thought of the Don McLean song “Vincent”.
@@dougcortes6567 🌟 🌟 night….😀
Young Randy on drums was amazing. Love their outfits. MJ is so musical super talented vocally and in his dancing skills. Credit to Joe Jackson in abundance for making it all happen.❤️
Joe Jackson needs to be complimented for all eternity.
I remember the night they were on Ed Sullivan - they just exploded to stardom .
Michael is a legend. It's pouring out of him. He's a beautiful, genius level artist.
It's very apparent in this video MJ was destine to become is a Superstar! His creative talent had no bounds
What a treat ! I am 65 and have grown with the Jackson's love these golden moments with Johnny Carson !
I was a huge Jackson 5 fan as a kid. My mother, who appreciated good music, knowing I was a fan, got me out of bed when this interview happened. It came on at midnight, and I was nine years old… Seeing this video brought that memory back vividly. I’m not sure I slept afterwards I must’ve been so excited.
Wow. What a mom.
Michael said his mom would wake him up to see James Brown on TV too.🥰
I'm so lucky.. my parents let me stay up to watch Johnny. Maybe because I could get myself up for school
@@elove2.038 And the crazy thing is he sold more records than James at that time
My brother and I saw it too! The funny thing is, my parents were young, and they LOVED The Jackson 5! It was a family bonding event whenever The Jackson 5 or Michael in later years were performing on TV, or had an album coming out. GREAT TIMES!
MJ was pure magic.I feel so sad for all the young fans - and there are so many! - that didn't get to experience living in the world in which Michael Jackson exists. It was truly a privilege.
so true! I'm one of those unlucky fans born late, who never was lucky enough to see Michael alive!😢
@@sakuraharuno2830 I'm sorry :( The world was a much better place with him in it! But, he did leave a lot behind, and I am so happy his legacy will live on through all the younger generation fans such as you! :)
@@IvanaL1979 thank you very much for your kind words!❤❤❤
@@sakuraharuno2830 🙏🌸
A HUGE PRIVILEGE!❤️❤️
The brothers mannerisms and respect for one another shows. Much love. Michael you are missed
Historic stuff ! Seems like Johnny knew it then! He’s so good on his show w kids, too! Heartfelt.❤ Michael well spoken calm demeanor & genuine as hell. ❤
Johnny's shows were definitely historic!
*Michael Jackson & Johnny Carson: Two LEGENDS who reached the top of the heap in their respective areas of entertainment.* 👑❣️👑

RIP Johnny Carson 😔
RIP Michael Jackson 😔
These Jackson men really had talent… never tire of them. If I could move 1/3rd of that, I’d be happy. 😊
lol me too!!!
One of the best performances I’ve seen by the brothers. Genius! And MJ on fire 🔥 and little Randy banging the conga 🥰
Randy plays like 6 instruments
Sing it Michael!!! You were beyond amazing. Never be anything close to him ever. One of a kind and I feel blessed to have grown up with his music.
Truth Indeed AMEN 🙏
Let's begin with the Beatles song "Let it Be ". The brothers were in perfect synchronization and harmony. And Michael's lead vocals sounded like the angel that he is. Moving on to the interview, Jackie stated that Michael had been performing since he was 4 years old. So if anyone is wondering why he was so talented, he was born with the gifts that God gave him and he worked his tail off to perfect his talents just to please us! Michael was only 15 years old when this show aired and he had already been nominated for an Academy Award for the song "Ben". And just in case you missed it, the brothers had just performed for an audience of 100,000 people in Africa a month prior to this show. None of us knew that 5 years after this performance, in 1979, Michael would release his "Off the Wall 🧱 " album and he would become the greatest entertainer this world will ever see! I'm the same age as Michael so I grew up loving Michael's unbelievable talents! Thanks for being the soundtrack of my life Michael. I still don't go a single day without listening to your music and I never will stop listening! Thanks for giving us everything you could give us, thanks for your hard work and dedication to your craft! R.I.P my brother! 🙏🏾💙
It makes me PUKE what the Pedophile freak did to the Beatles catalogue.
A wonderful comment
These brothers very gifted and blessed the world with their gifts.
Aw this comment made me tear up. MJ truly put it all on the table and left us with amazing music. He embodied talent. May he RIP ❤
Wow,Truth Indeed AMEN 🙏
Now this IS impressive- a truly LIVE PERFORMANCE- no faking it with lip syncing- playing singing and dancing. Few of the current crop of pop "stars" would dare attempt this on a live broadcast. The Jackson 5 really were incredibly talented, it wasn't all about Michael- incredible though he was- the brothers were real stars with genuine talent in their own right.
Mj has an incredible, god given voice
SOMETHING SO GREAT ABOUT THE MUSIC WHEN ITS LIVE AND NO LUPSYNCING. NEVER SAW THIS BUT WHO EVER UPLOADED THIS THANKYOU.
such a polite family. Don't see such respectful people on late shows anymore
Sad but True
How awesome to see this young men again. Never get tired of seeing them perform. ❤️❤️😻
Lindsey they are the fantastic 5..... How are you doing my dear friend ?
Stop acting like this era didn’t have vulgar songs
Handsome Jackson’s!
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Transport me BACK to the Days of Genuine Talent!
Look Young’uns:
NO wigs, NO fake eyelashes, NO fake fingernails, NO plastic surgery, NO distractive lights & NO voice tuners!
Audiences were focused on the REAL & were NATURALLY MESMERIZED!
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Just wished Michael knew how handsome he was, just•as•he•was.
I'd give anything to go back to these days. Such amazing, wonderful and gifted young people! And so kind and polite to Johnny and everyone. Definitely all professionals doing their thing for us all. Young people of 2024 this is how you all should be modeling yourselves after if you're pursuing a career in the entertainment industry.
The Jackson 5 were already huge by the time of this particular appearance on The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson in April of 1974. They had already had most of their biggest hits by the time of this appearance. Michael at the time of this particular show was was 15. Michael was 11 when they had their first hit, I Want You Back in late 1969.
Absolutely You have to think there was the only black boy band of doing those numbers Some people are still stuck on thriller
Being first formed in 1964, it took some five years for them to reach national prominence and as the 1970s got underway international superstardom.
He was 17.
I wasn't alive.
35 million records is a big number
Yeah. He'd sang Ben at the Oscars
I tell you that was a special group.
Well mannered and talented.
Love the costumes too.
No special effects here just real talent.
🎤🎵🎵🎶🥁🎸🎹🎺
I absolutely agree.
Natural extraordinary talent 🎼🎵🙌🏾😊💥.
💯💯💯‼️
When musicians actually played real instruments and could sing without auto tune …imagine that! Lol
Truth Indeed AMEN 🙏
The Jackson's at their best! Johnny Carson at his best! Brings back such good memories! Thank you
Being a big fan of Michael Jackson and the Jackson 5, I have no idea how I hadn't seen this footage until now. Very thankful it's up!
My friend and I hosted a street memorial party in Nigeria for Michael after he passed. I felt I owed it to him and to myself and my childhood to honour him and tell him a big thank you for putting that magical possibilities into our world. His music inspired us all to be better people and want to do good. You are the King of music and entertainment, Michael.
Yes the king of music.
@@jackiegoodspeed1849 LOL!!! King of plastic surgery and pedophilia. The Beatles and Elvis will ALWAYS be bigger, that's why he tried so hard to ruin the brands.
@@Mozart1220
Hi freemason Mozart.
Agreed! I’m an 80’s kid and MJ was a big part of my childhood. He blessed us all with his talent.
@@tamlynn786 I can't imagine growing up, or my life without the J5, and of course MJ and his solo career! They brought so much joy to mine and my family's lives.
Awesome slice of history. 👏
History? Yeah, I guess you're right. I always consider history to be prior to when I was born. The 70s seem to be the best time to be a teenager.
@@davidpanetta6400 It worked for me! But I think the 60's were also an awesome time to be a teenager!
Man MIKE was just BAD ASS with those moves! I loved their voices together!
He was always the one everybody was rushing to the TV to see whenever someone said, "THE JACKSON 5", and when he performed, you could tell that he knew it.
They exhibited Class and Professionalism! There will Never be a group like them or another Michael Jackson..Period…Pure Talent! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤❤
Truth Indeed AMEN 🙏
That horn arrangement on this live version of "Dancing Machine" is amazing!
And Tito's picking on the outro of "Dancing Machine" - woooooooo!
Johnny's band chipping in.
And Ronnie’s funky electric piano
@@erestube yeah !!! Would have been cool to see the full band a couple of times !
I second this. You know Doc had to be responsible
Micheals Voice! Man it sounds amazing here. As a mid 80's baby I missed the Johnny Carson era, this channel is GOLD! This man was 15 here! What a talent.
Always reminds me of my youth, anything of the Jackson 5.
The good ole early days of family together.
To bad the cut to Randy when Michael was doing a crazy robot. We only got a glimpse.
They were GOOD !
@@robc.5745 no. GREAT!!!
Love the Jacksons so humble all ways michael was the best in the world
They were all shy and sweet
Yes best entertainer and dancer I’ve ever seen.
Hearing a live performance of Dancing Machine gave me goosebumps the entire time. 🥰 How did we get so far away from these priceless performances???
The entire family is incredible, the most legendary family in music history across the board! That will be a title that they will always own in this lifetime! Randy playing the bongos like that at twelve years old..legendary family!!!
You can't help but smile when you watch this! The J-5 and Johnny Carson, so many good memories!
Randy's face at 11:11 😂😂😂 is like wtf😲??? MJ even wowed his own family💕🤷🏽♀️
🎯🤣🤣
Randy was killing on the bongos too. I was smiling so big when he made it on camera. He earned that spot.
Lol his face said it all
Michael was a different person on stage. He lost all inhibitions. Could've been the first time they saw that particular move ❤so cool
@@Ghst-qo1ic if you watch their other performances of Dancing Machine, they all pause with the wtf look on their faces when Mike does the robot.
Live vocals, playing instruments & singing, you tiet dancing, melodies, harmonies...real music folks! That's music!!!!
They are the best Motown ever produced. That 25 years of Motown was the best I’ve ever seen from a group.
Try Stevie Wonder
Or Lionel Richey who wrote almost all his songs.
@@anotheryoutubeaccount9852 He wasn’t a group!
@@debrastarr9147 He wasn’t in a group like them.
@@ronniebishop2496 Duly Noted. Stevie was a solo act and wrote his own songs - while at Motown+
I can't believe they weren't on the Tonight Show before then (1974). They were so popular since the late 60's. I guess like they said, their busy schedules didn't allow it. I like how their performance was live and not perfect. Sometimes back then, groups would just lip sync on TV. Michael was certainly the star. So talented. I wish he had a happier life.
I don't think Johnny allowed lip synching, did he ?!
I was wondering that myself, that was unlike Carson with other new stars that made it. I hope it was for those reasons.
@Finessnu2 Not true. Yes there was racism, but we don't need to make it worse than it was.
You can see lots of black people on TV in the 70s. I grew up then too. For example if you watch The Brady Bunch and there are other children... You will see kids from various races. I remember a TV show with a black female lead. Even Star Trek in the 60s had a black woman. She even had an on-screen kiss with a white man. (Which was a big deal back then.) Roots came on in the 70s. My English teacher told us to watch it if we could. (Some parents might not allow kids to stay up that late) if everybody was so racist, it never would have made the air. It even got a sequel.
@@ksjoyjespeace No he didn't Always a class act
@Finessnu2 That's not it. Johnny didn't listen to 'pop music' of the time. He had almost no top 20 pop artists on in the 60's and early 70s. The Jackson 5 were superstars since they appeared on Ed Sullivan in 1969. Johnny had on Redd Foxx, Lou Rawls, Aretha Franklin. The 4 Tops, Barry White, Diana Ross. Dont claim 'racism' without knowing the facts. He never even had The Beatles on. Johnny just didnt dig 'Pop'
They are all so respectful and soft spoken. When you know their background of how their father was, your heart really goes out to them. I reckognize this behavior as my brothers and i were nervous of my father growing up. We respected him, but we never knew how his moods would be and i bet that's what they went through.
11:10 Randy’s reaction ! Even his own kin couldn’t believe the magic that was happening!
When music was fun and interesting
This is when performers dressed up, we’re respectful, and sang songs that you could understand the words which were not vulgar. Those qualities are sorely lacking today. Some of the best music ever came from the 60s and 70s and are now considered classics.
Those Thanksgiving colors are crazy.
@@sharksport01 My eyes are in pain, looking at their outfits.
I’ll agree that 1960s and 70s music is fantastic. And singers had to actually be able to sing back then too. But musicians back then did waaay more scandalous things back in the 1960s and 70s than what goes on now. Most of the guys in those big rock bands in the 60s/70s regularly had sex with girls who were WELL under age 18. Both Steven Tyler and Ted Nugent became legal guardians for their 15-16 year old girlfriends. So they wouldn’t get in trouble traveling with an underaged girl. Steven Tyler also forced his 16 year old girlfriend to have a late term @bortion. This was after she woke up to the house being engulfed in flames. She had been put in that house, by one of the band’s handlers. She only survived because she crawled into the fireplace. She described the baby as definitely being alive ; and seeing the doctor kill her son. (I’m Pro-Choice, but this was not her choice. Nobody gets an abortion like that unless either the mother or baby is dying) Oh and Chris Isaak went to my junior prom with a classmate of mine; who was his girlfriend. She was 16 and he was 28. Another friend of mine grew up in Oklahoma. Her friend dated Tommy Shaw from Styx. When she was 14-15 years old. And let’s not forget that Jimmy Page of Led Zeppelin dated Lori Lightning, when she was 14. She described how she had been forced into a limo and brought to Jimmy’s hotel room. To be fair, Lori has never claimed that Jimmy Page forced her to do anything. But even back then, an adult dating a 14 year old girl was definitely not normal. Or legal. Musicians were so much more wholesome then. 😑
Old people I stg
Lyrics were vulgar for the time
So much young talent, healthy wholesome entertainment, not like today! Michael, R.I.P
That young Michael is simply a TRUE genius!
The Camara man had only one job, capture Michael Jackson doing the robot, but he has the lens on Randy.
