    Michael had been performing since the age of 5!! Think about that, he lost his whole childhood and missed his childhood terribly as an adult as a consequence that's why he built Neverland

    "People Make The World Go 'Round" is extremely underrated and is my favorite song off this album MJ vocals are stellar and this entire album is a timeless classic/masterpiece has 0 misses!🥹👑💖💫(Definitely wish more people would realize this young man was gifted way beyond his years even at the tender age of 14, not to mention having his first Number 1 Hit in the song "Ben" that early within' his career smh MJ is truly incomparable Long Live The King Of Music Forever! Btw this is his 2nd album his first album is “Got To Be There” buddy.)

    Michael didn't write these songs yet let alone produce them lol some of them sound quite mature for that reason, he only really got creative control when the Jacksons moved to Epic and made their album Destiny in 1978

    Wearing good headhones while listening to MJ is something that I dearly recommend. He's the king of layering and will make you feel every feeling possible, that's why so many people cried, screamed and fainted at his concerts.
    Also can I say that seeing some vinyls sitting unter that christmas tree would be awesome🤭😊

    @1:48 No doubt a truly beautiful song and it shows: *_"Ben"_* _won a _*_Golden Globe_* for *Best Song* and was also _nominated_ (didn't win) for an *Academy Award* for _Best Original Song._ But if you looked up the info without having heard the song, nor having watched the 1972 film with the same name, it might seem a bit odd that the story line the film that included the song in its OST, was about a boy and his (killer) rat!!!

    Btw some of the songs on Michael’s solo Motown albums are Jackson 5 songs that they repurposed (like Everybody’s Somebody’s Fool, Got To Be There, etc)

    People Make the World Go Round is a cover of a Stylistics song, only with slightly altered lyrics. My Girl is a cover of a Temptations classic. Michael came to prominence as lead singer for the Jackson 5 in 1969. Thanks for the reaction!

    Ben is a reference to child Michael so yes I believe he was already huge when he started with the Jackson 5. He performed live before he became famous so at this point I think he was already a superstar. Even in the makings of Off The Wall, Michael's major reference was "the song about a rat", many people didn't see him as an adult yet. They thought of him as the little kid who sang Ben.

    Why on earth are you comparing Michael to Janet?? And um there’s a song kind of like Ben on her album?? If so she’s obviously copied it or whatever from before she was 10. Michael Jackson has more talent than Janet just by the fact he composed his own music. I’m unsubscribing if you continue with this ridiculous comparison.
