Watched this live. Everyone gathered round the TV with our 4 channels and watched Ed Sullivan each week.
He knew how to give the people what they wanted, even if they didn't know they wanted it. Modern music, opera, Broadway, comedy, magicians, and Topo Gigio. All live. For those of us living in small town America it was wonderful.
I always called it 3.5 channels myself. PBS was sort of a semi-channel. 😁
Exactly what mom and my ɓrothers and me did, dad liked country so he didn't watch. 4 channels was right!
Peace from Northern Michigan!
Sounds just like the experience of my family.
And with regards to having 4 channels, I recall how big a deal it was when we got the 4th channel in New Orleans. What channel was it?
FOX ? I don't remember. But we were all sitting in front of the TV, anticipating the channel going live at 7 pm, I think it was.
The Jackson 5 were incredible. As was The Ed Sullivan Show.
Janet was a toddler during this time period. Even though Michael was the most famous at this time, all of the brother's each had a large fan following.
Don't forget sisters Reba and Latoya.
@SandraSealySeawomanBDS Yes indeed
Jackson 5 sold over 100 million records and are in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. They have performed on five or six continents!
This guy asking what happened to the rest of them, like they were just some hired studio singers they went out and found. lol
Ed Sullivan helped make stars out of many bands and singers. Every Sunday families would watch Ed’s show ❤
Actually was Diana Ross who gave them their first great chance on TV.
Imagine what those would be stars had to do to get on the Ed Sullivan show.
People either forget or don't realize that the Jackson 5 came about & existed on the Motown label in an era where actual talent was required & acts were groomed for professionalism. These kids were surrounded by Marvin Gaye, Smokey Robinson, The Supremes, Stevie Wonder just on there label & interacted with even more greats.
Motown Great music
Michael was one in a million..💔 we lost him way way to soon.
The Jackson 5 were major stars back in the day. When they were on TV or performing somewhere, it seemed like every thing stopped. No one wanted to do anything except watch them.
Yes, indeed. Our neighbors didn't have a color TV yet, so they came to our house to watch. It was a MAJOR event. 💛
@GoldenLady1007 oh yeah. Those were fun times.
I grew up with them on my radar. Loved spinning their records and watching on TV. Special moment in time.
@@keifermark For sure. They were awesome.
What is crazy is that some of Michael's signature dance moves from all of his videos were already taking shape here. Jackson was born to be a performer.
Inspired by James Brown.
@@colinglen4505& Jackie Wilson. James loved him some MJ 🤗
We never missed the Jackson Five on Ed Sullivan. You had to watch when it was on because we didn't have recorders. RIP MICHAEL YOU ARE SORELY MISSED.🙏🕊️✌️🌻🌻
I’m always stunned when people don’t know much about the J5 - guess I’m old!
I was shocked to hear that they never heard of the Jackson 5 or the first time hearing their music!! I'm feeling a type of way about that because they are not teenagers but look to be in their early thirties and should have heard something by them J5 by now!! WOW!
A lot of people don't bother to look for music outside one or two genres, and/or won't think to listen to anything older than what they listened to in high school.
I think it's pretty sad due to my experience, but of course we're all raised differently. I was raised on Motown, so I definitely knew about the Jackson 5, The Supremes, Marvin Gaye, Smokey Robinson, etc.
I was also raised on artists like Al Jarreau, The Manhattan Transfer, Barry White, The Bee Gees, KC and The Sunshine Band, Journey, Gino Vanelli, Johnny Taylor, BB King, The Isley Brothers, Teddy Pendergrass, Aretha Franklin, Gladys Knight & The Pips, and more.
I'm always surprised by reactors whose parents/elders didn't introduce them to great and very well-known singers and musicians.
That kid definitely had it it’s amazing how good he was especially so young
They're actually doing a sly stone medley. Check him out,a pioneer.😊
Saw the Jackson 5 as a kid on their dancing machine tour stop in Lake Tahoe. Still remember it nearly 50 years later. No doubt Michael was born with "IT".
I bet that was a great tour! Dancing Machine might be my favorite.
That's crazy seeing I grew up listening to The Jackson 5, that there are people who don't know about Michael Jackson's early start with his brothers. Motown was big back then and it didn't matter if you were black or white we all loved it.
Everyone in the country watched The Ed Sullivan Show every Sunday evening for 27 years. It was what families did in the 50s, 60s, and 70s. Ed was the most powerful celebrity on TV - he could make or break your career in a heartbeat. If he called you over after your performance to stand with him for a few seconds - you knew you made it. Every famous movie star, tv star, Broadway star, nightclub star, sports star, politician, circus star, ventriloquist, puppeteer, acrobats, writers, authors, playwright, etc. made an appearance on his show. A piece of Americana history.
Michael Jackson was always the Star that stood out!!
What happened to the rest of them. Really? lol
"I'll Be There" and "Ben"
I'll Be There for me, is the best J5 song.
The third song was "I Want You Back". For me, it was their biggest hit. Well, one of their biggest, anyways. This was December '69. Thanks for a great reaction, and God bless you!
The last song they did was a hit for them. They were together as a professional group for about 12 years. When they left Motown, Jermaine ( on Bass ) stayed with the label mainly because he was married to the daughter of the owner of Motown. Then the youngest brother ( Randy ) replaced Jermaine. They stayed together for a few more years until Michael went solo. The rest of the group member's went solo for a short time period, but were not very successful. Over the years while Michael was a solo act, he would still perform with his brother's on tour from time to time. All of the sister's ( Rebbie, LaToya and Janet ) had solo careers with Janet being the most successful. Michael was the youngest at 10 years old in this video.
Yes, also in Germany 😊
@@da.ma.ba123 Awesome.
You know your stuff! MJ was a legend
@sunshinehoover4630 Yes he was.
Even tho the other brothers weren't as successful as Michael or Jermaine, one cool thing that makes this family so legendary is that all 9 siblings had at least 1 charting hit throughout their careers. Making them the only family in music history to do something like that which is pretty awesome.
They were a live band. No recorded vocals or instruments this was done live. They sound just like the record. This was done when music was real! Nothing fake like it is today!😊
This kid ended up releasing the biggest selling album of all time only 13 Years later, it’s crazy!! Long live the greatest to ever do it!! They used to call him a 45 Year old Midget back in the day! 😁
Would love to see you react to MJ’s Come Together and Earth Song MV’s! 🫶🏼😊 Come together is his Version of the Beatles’ Track and lemme tell ya - he took the track to a whole another level! 🔥
Late `69, I was 10, and our generation was blown away.
Yes, we were. I was six. They were a cultural phenomenon. 💛
Me too.
'Abso damn lutely!"...
It continues to blow my mind that he was a performer, giving it everything he had on stage from this age literally until the day he died. That is just crazy
His brother Tito (he is on guitar here) said in an interview that Michael was 5 years old when he sang a song at a kindergarten show, and everyone was blown away by his performance :-)
They had a Saturday morning cartoon, as well. Based on all the brothers.
As well as the Osmond brothers.
@@TristanandIsolt I remember that too!
@@kellylassen6769 All of the Jackson's were musically talented. Did you ever see Godspell the rock musical. Merrell was great in it singing All Good Gifts.
@@TristanandIsolt Yes I did!
@@kellylassen6769 Merrell flat out blew me away singing that.
Michael Jackson was a musical prodigy who later became a musical genius.
and ended up as a pedo monster😥
I'd honestly forgotten the level of talent he had as a boy. Many years since I heard this. And he's only a child here. Lhm. Greater talent than most adults. Esp of late. Wow.
Look at lil MJ...he was born a STAR!
My family and I lived in Gary, Indiana in the '60's when the Jacksons lived there. Where we lived and where the Jacksons lived were on opposite sides of Gary. In 1968, my oldest sister graduated from high school, and the Jackson Five sang at her graduation. This was about a year or two before the Jackson FIve had their first hit.
So glad that this was part my childhood. 😊
I'd like to see y'all react to their music video Blame it on the Boogie. Michael was killing then too. They were older and went under the name the Jacksons then because they left motown.
!!!!
Janet was born in 1966 and this performance was in 1969. So Janet was only 2 or 3 years old. Also Janet is the youngest kid in the family. There were 6 boys and 3 girls in the family. Rebbie, Jackie, Tito, LaToya, Jermaine, Marlon, Michael, Randy, Janet. Marlon had a twin brother but he died I think shortly after birth.
They're all great but Michael was just something out of this world. The amount of talent, charisma and professionalism at such a young age. What a tragic loss
MORE MICHEAL PLEASE
Love young MJ!
It was a really big show!
Ed Sullivan pronounced it almost like shoe. 😊
baby michael 🥺❤️
I liked, "Ben." ABC! I remember dancing on my friend's porch to the 45's. Awesome memories!
No auto tune. Nothing but vocal cords.
totally lip-synched dude.
@@JuandeFucaU Everybody sang with the orchestra or with a group. Performances were live there was no lip-synching on The Ed Sullivan Show; it was a class Prime Time show. Shows like Dick Clark's American Bandstand which were not primetime more often liked lip-syncing. Variety shows that were on Primetime had a choice, but the upscale ones had live performances.
Ed Sullivan demanded that everyone do a run-through live and if their song was too long the orchestra or the individual musicians had to cut it. Beatles, Stones , Jackson Five, Mamas and Papas, Doors, Buffalo Springfield all performed live.
@@JuandeFucaU It was live. If you knew how the record sounds then you would know that this was live.
Not necessarily true that all singing was live. There was a famous incident when the Mamas and Papas were on the show and they were supposed to lipsync. Michelle Phillips was upset about that so she was eating a banana during the performance to show that they weren’t really singing.
Third song was a big hit, thinking 1970? I am Michael's age so in elementary school when I saw this on Ed Sullivan.
Michael Jackson was born to sing & entertain. Simply as that. Legend.
Michael always had it that’s why his father put him up as the lead singer even tho he had older brothers in the band.
If you want to see a young Janet, find Michael Jackson and the Jackson 5 on the Carol Burnette show. At the time their father came up with the idea of the whole family doing a Las Vegas act. There were 10 children in the family, but one of their brother Brandon only lived one day. The Original Jackson 5 had brothers from oldest to youngest Jackie, Tito, Jermaine, Marlon (who was Brandon's twin) and Michael.
They also have another younger brother Randy who join the group later. They also have three sisters. Reba who by the time this came out was 19 and married, LaToya who was born before Marlon, and Janet who is the youngest in the family.
This was the time of sweet & innocent Michael with his brothers. You could see his great talent & charisma even at this young age. The Jackson 5 had a lot of hits in the 60's-70's such as "ABC", "Never Can Say Goodbye", "Rockin' Robin", "The Love You Save", "I'll Be There", "Mama's Pearl", "Sugar Daddy" etc. Michael Jackson's solo career started in the 70's with the songs "Got To Be There" & "Ben".
******OhMyGreat! The Child who Could Sing & Dance better than the Adults!
Always live in those days You had to have real talent back then. No auto tune, no lip syncing. Great reaction guys.
The last song was their first #1 I Want You Back.
Brings me back to my childhood 😂😂😂 Great reaction and Peace out guys ✌️ ☮️
"I Want You Back" is my favorite Jackson 5 song next to "Heartbreak Hotel" recorded when they were much older.
My all time favorite is “The love you save” ❤
Love that you guys are checking out The Jackson 5! There are so many to watch from this era but if you want to see true contrast to when they were older and Michael was in his prime you could check out their Motown 25 Medley, it also has Billie Jean’s first live performance with the very first time he performed the moonwalk, it would be nice to see you react to it next!
A little background on them too: The Jackson 5 were always the boys, Janet was younger than Michael and was never in the band. The original were Jackie, Marlon, Tito, Jermaine & Michael, for a while Jermaine left and the youngest brother Randy joined, then Jermaine came back but at that point Michael was too big in his career so he officially left after their Victory tour and the rest carried on, then they were just The Jacksons, there was a lot of rivalry especially with Jermaine, he didn’t like Michael’s success and even made a whole diss track for him but it seems they ended up in good terms, they reunited in 2001 to perform again for the very last time at Michael’s 30th anniversary celebration, then after his death continued while always paying tribute to him. As for Janet she was never in the group but her and Michael do have a song together called Scream, I would say Michael was the closest to her. They seemed very happy on stage but behind them was their father Joseph who was very abusive to them, especially to Michael, and was the actual reason he started a career at just 5 years old, if they got anything wrong on rehearsals or on stage he would beat them up until they made no mistakes, not to mention the emotional and psychological abuse he put him through too. Michael clearly loved what he did but had no childhood because he spent all of it performing and that led to many issues for the rest of his life, so all of this got him to be the biggest star ever but also took a lot from him
This is why i get mad when people compared Justin bieber to young mike. They're leagues apart. Even tho chris brown is the closet thing to Michael Jackson, even he recognizes hes not touching Mike.
Say what? 😂😂😂😂 No one can ever be compared to Michael. One of a kind musical genius.❤
@@OldschoolnanaPERIOD!!
Chris Brown says never compare him to MJ, he says he has pictures on his walls of him and practically worships MJ.
You really need to check out the original of "Stand" by Sly and the Family Stone. One of their best ever songs.
Still have the 45's
HOLY MOLY !! 🤯🤯🤯🤯
They were precious.
LOVED THE JACKSON 5 - they were SO GOOD! MANY HITS!!! There were 9 children in the Jackson Family: Rebbie, Jackie, Tito, Jermaine, La Toya, Marlon, Michael, Randy, and Janet. Thanks for reacting to this one!! HUGS, YA'LL!!!
The Jackson 5 were a phenomenon…they were huge.,,worldwide.
The other brother who helped with some of the lead vocals was Jermaine,he was actually the first one to leave the group because he married Berry Gordy's daughter and as a show of loyalty he stayed behind when the rest of the group wanted to leave Motown. He went on to have a good solo career. When Jermaine left the group their youngest brother Randy joined the group and they were called The Jacksons from that point on. They also have 2 sisters besides Janet.
King Michael ❤👑✌🏻
Janet was practically a baby when her brothers did this performance. She was 2 or 3 when this show aired.😊
the ed sullivan show was/is a wealth of entertainment history. we are so fortunate to have these performances preserved for future generations.
❤❤❤
Diana Ross introduced them in their first public appearance on the Ed Sullivan Show and I was just blown away by Michael. The music industry must have just "chewed him up" for him to look like he did at the end compared to his natural self as a kid.
Happy belated Canada Day
All live. Acts always rehearsed all week for the Sunday evening live show. I've been in this theatre and it is acoustically perfect. Thanks for the reaction.
The Jackson 5 - a story of success due to pure talent of all 5 guys, good choice of songs and a violent abusive father who brutally beat them to the top.
Don't talk about Joe Jackson like that the man is no longer here with us, so put some respect on that man's name. There wouldn't be no Jackson 5 or Michael or Janet if it wasn't for that man. Yes, Joe Jackson was very strict. All fathers are, so stop making him the bad guy. Joe Jackson had a vision for his kids, and it was for them to be the best in the business.
@@Kamarre_HMichael had a light and joy in his eyes when performing back then. The media paints lot of narratives which mix fact and fiction. Spanking was how discipline was handled back then by lots of families right or wrong. JMHO.
@@Kamarre_H Yeah.. all fathers are like that. Of course. They were really lucky kids.
Nobody lip synced on the Ed Sullivan show. This was definitely live. Ed Sullivan was must see TV for many years. The Jackson Five (led by Michael) were the hottest thing going for a while. Sad to look at it now though, when you know the whole story of abuse from their father. He was talented his whole life but it definitely came at a cost. He wasn’t having as much fun as it looked like he was. You might want to read up on that. J5 had some great songs ABC, The Love You Save and a bunch of others.
There are 9 Jackson kids. 6 boys and 3 girls.
Actually 10 kids. Marlon's twin brother died shortly after birth.
And Johvonnie, I think, but she's Joe's daughter from his mistress.
Oh yeah, SO many great Jackson 5 songs for you to hear. These cats even had their own Saturday morning cartoon back in the day, LOL! Thanks for sharing this one! 🙂
The Jackson 5 was the first concert that I ever saw. It was 1973 and I was 8 years old. I was fascinated to say the least. Of course I'd heard their records and seem them on TV but this was something else. Yes, they were famous and great singers but they were kids too. They were kids that looked me. I knew all of their names. Michael, Marlon, Jermaine, Tito and Jackie.
Yeah, I saw this when it first came out. The Jackson Five was a hit machine, and yes that was a live performance. Michael was definitely a child prodigy back when autotune was only a dream.
They are all talented - everyone in that family are - all just as talented equally
so talented he was...more MJ
More Jackson 5 🔥🔥🔥
Jermaine Jackson was the first brother to leave the group to go solo in the late 1970s, and he had a few hits. They brought in their youngest brother (Randy) to replace Jermaine and renamed the group The Jacksons. The older brothers are still performing as "The Jacksons" and singing the oldies, with their children. Randy Jackson works for Janet as a manager. They are the two youngest children out of 10 or 11 and, therefore, have a close relationship.
This must be about 1970 and my little 5 or 6 year old self is smiling, LOL.. Even though I don’t remember it, I’m pretty sure I probably watched this because anytime Michael Jackson was on the TV back then, I was watching it.😆 all the little girls just absolutely loved Michael Jackson at that time
Jackie, Jermaine, Tito, Marlon, and Michael were the Jackson 5. LaToya and Janet came later.
OMG !! 🤯🤯🤯
Janet became a child actress starring in tv shows, good times if I remember correctly. later becoming a singer. you know michaels voice never dropped. lol
I remember watching this at the time. I have seen it countless times since then and I am STILL blown away by how talented the J5 was, especially MJ. It's other worldly for a little kid to be THAT talented. Jermaine (the singing guitar player) went on to have a great solo career and the rest of them became the Jacksons and did pretty well. 💛
Put some respect on Jermaine too, he was the other brother playing bass and singing co-lead. He was the only other brother in the group to have major solo success while still in the group and after he left the group in 75.
This is classic! Hes 10....it almost makes me cry.
I was so in love with Michael when I was little. He was 5 years older than me so I’ve watched him and listened to them since childhood.
Michael was amazing ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Yes every Sunday night Walt Disney Ed Sullivan and Flipper.
I remember the 1st time they were on the Ed Sullivan show!! I don't think we (my siblings and I), took one single breath the entire performance, thinking we might miss something!😅 The following day(Monday) at school EVERYBODY was ecstatic, asking each other, "Did you see the J-5 last night?" We couln't believe our eyes or ears...this was the 1st time EVER a black singing group of youngsters were showcased on national TV!! YOU JUST HAD TO BE THERE TO KNOW WHAT THOSE OF US WHO WITNESSED IT ARE TALKING ABOUT!!
Jermaine Jackson, who was playing bass and singing in this video, had the next biggest solo career of the brothers after Michael. Some of his hits include: Tickle Your Fancy, Let's Get Serious, Dynamite, and Do What You Do.
“I gave her my cookies!” 😁😁😁
1988 grammy’s michael jackson performance you guys would love it.
I miss you Mike. 😢
All i can see is Joe Jackson screaming at them. 😫
Those kids are so spot on with their performances, I wonder how long they went without sleep to get it right.
Michael's voice is really powerful for a kid.
Yep, as a child he was a belter. His rendition of Ain’t No Sunshine is fantastic. Additionally, when he realised his voice would change as he grew into adulthood, he started to experiment with different sounds, egg the falsetto, the word changes etc. but always, always pitch perfect
All performances, on Ed Sullivan, were live. The Beatles on February 9, 1964 played there first concert, in the U.S.A. on the Ed Sullivan Show; first in New York City and the in Miami, Florida.
You should watch them when they were on the Carol Burnett show.
Michael and I are the same age. Color wasn't an issue, all the girls were in love with him from the start.
Not sure what the best video is, but "Dancing Machine" by the Jackson 5 is one where Michael usually shows off his moves.
Absolutely live J5 doing some instrumentation and Ed Sullivan employed a full orchestra
They were all very talented, but Michael was a Force of Nature that comes around once in a lifetime
Michael is the most naturally gifted performer of all time and THEN when crazy in perfecting his craft on top of that talent. He did both things. Natural talent + an insane work ethic and that is why he is the GOAT and we won't see anything close to him in our lifetimes.
Pure talent
5 brothers and 3 sisters. Janet was a baby at this time. She's the youngest. Their sister Rebe is the oldest, Latoya is aged between the brothers. Brothers Jermaine, Teto, Randy, Marlon and Michael.
