What would I do if I could suddenly feel And to know once again that what I feel is real? I could cry, I could smile, I might lay back for a while Oh, tell me what, what would I do if I could feel What would I do if I could reach inside of me And to know how it feels to say I like what I see? Then I'd be more than glad to share all that I have inside of here And the songs my heart might bring, you'd be more than glad to sing And if tears should fall from my eyes Just think of all the wounds they could mend And just think of all the time I could spend Just being vulnerable again Oh, tell me what, what would I do Oh, tell me what, what would I do Oh, tell me what, what would I do if I could feel
As a child I loved MJ as scarecrow & the rest of the cast (which sadly are no longer around except for Diana Ross) & I still adore this film The Wiz (1978)

The Wiz and The Color Purple are in the top 5 of my favorite movies. I've watched them both religiously during the Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays for the last 20+ years. My absolute favorite part of this song in The Wiz is when MJ looks back in surprise at the Black women on the wall like what the what when they first sing "What?" 😂🤗 He looks so innocent, wonderous, and secretive all at the same time! Thank you for this upload, and Happy Thanksgiving! 💜
It's that first part everytime. I always come back for I don't know why it's just so smooth "that's the whole tragic point my friends." Ugh I just love it!
IS ANYBODY WATCHING THIS IN 2019, THIS MOVIE TAKES ME BACK TO MY CHILDHOOD, EVEN THOUGH SOME OF THE PARTS SCARED ME THEN BUT I STILL LOVE IT, AND THAT SLOW JAM BY NIPSEY, CHILE PLEASE
One tin soldier
Mr Russell put the belt to that performance 💪🏾💪🏾💯

This is the best song throughout the whole movie shout out to NAS for using this song called surviving the times
I saw this at the movies with my baby sitter in 1978. I was born in 1971. Who else is a 71 baby?
I wish this was on the movie soundtrack.❤
Still here in 2024?

Thank you black childhood for planting this in me
"Just being vulnerable again..." Chills every time.
"Just being vulnerable again..." Chills every time.
😢😪😓
This is hands down the best song from this movie, I loved it the first time I heard it
I thought the wiz was a horror movie in the 80s
I almost can’t handle the nostalgia

Those three-part church harmonies from 1:54 on are EVERYTHING.
Stuck under the weight of the black women. Message
This is how I "feel" every day. If I ever let my true emotions out, what would I do?
same man
As a kid I hated this part of the movie but as a grown man now, I love and relate to this part the most

The star power in this one scene, let alone the entire movie is Beyond legendary.

This scene is the most underrated scene in the whole movie!
The song is incredible… It literally made em stop what i was doing and become enthralled in the moment
So underrated this my favorite song out the whole movie
What type of person hits the *Dislike* I could tell you but I don’t wanna judge em
Why does it look like Michael and Diana wanted to cry
They felt his pain, didn't you love their acting skills!! 😁
Soul stirring music. Best scene in the movie
I just love Nipsey 💕
As a child, I had no idea that this song would play out in my adult life. 🤐😎😂
