Oh yeah!! This my very favorite Jackson 5 song !! “I want to be were you are” ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ I remember this song was played in the 70s n 80s at the roller skating rinks when I was young,
Listening to "I Wanna Be Where You Are" again after 50 years, I now realize Michael had that awesome talent even back then.
There's a reason The Jackson 5 sold so many albums, Empress.
I do think little Michael is slept on. That is with me included. Never heard this song b4. Never knew he had a book he written about his childhood. Defenitly have to check it oyt.
Hey girl. Wow, baby Empress is the absolute image of her father. It’s incredible. You are all too gorgeous 💙
That's right expose the baby to good music!
Uhuuuuu!!!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
@Empress You absolutely HAVE TO listen to the instrumental version of this song. It's amazing!❤😊
***(LITTLE) MICHAEL JACKSON TRIVIA TIME!!*** ...do you know where YOU are!?? (6:26)
....THIS, was not only when MJ became a Solo sensation...this was when *DISCO* was being created! ...you see, this tune had ALL the elements to become Disco Music; strings, funk Guitar, soaring vocals....yes, others were creating it too (Barry White, Teddy Pendergrass, Al Green), but Michael was the One EVOLVING it....
- ...this tune was recorded in 1971, released Summer 1972...It was his THIRD Top 5 R&B hit (peaking at #2), and was DEFINITELY played at Roller rinks, BBQ's, and....DISCOS....right afterwards, Barry White created "Love's Theme" (Love Unlimited) late 1973...but, MJ did it FIRST....
- ..THEN, came the LP track, "Dancing Machine" which was released the next Year (1974), and was a VERY influential Disco track, then, "Forever Came Today", Shake Your Body...", Enjoy Yourself", "Blame It One The Boogie"...and, "Don't Stop 'Til You Get Enough"....
...Michael was not only King Of POP, he was the originator of DISCO.....The 'Funky Cap" SAYS so.... (1:50)
Oh wow‼️ I've never heard Michael, especially Lil Mike associated with disco that way😍😍As always great trivia!+
people might forget just how good the Jackson 5 were! i still have some of there albums!
Empress...i wanna be where you are....listening to you sing!
Ohhh she look like her daddy!!! My daughter looks like my husband too so I know!!!
Isn't it amazing how a daughter could be her father's twin and at the same time be a beautiful young woman!?!
How can i send 1000 likes to a song that i grew up listening..Yes Empress im from back in those days.. going to junior high school and listening to michael and his brothers...Happier days back then...
....***empress forgot to turn on the comments on the TOTO post, and since I'm the One who told her it's called "Yacht Rock" is goin' CRAZY, 'cause I can't leave my "Trivia Time".... TRIVIA TIME!!***
Garage partys back in the 70's and you really digging on a hirl.. So you want to dance and sing this song to that special girl you like....
Just think listening to this song and your special other is in another place....
I would get on the phone and play the 45 on my portable record player..Our special song...
nice to see a black man and a woman together and with a child no less! and aren't ghetto as hell, they have some damn class, it's refreshing because it's rare, i like it, I'm white lol
You do realize your post was *offensive* (let alone racist), don’t you?!?! That would be like me saying “how refreshing to see a white couple with a baby who don’t live in a trailer park.” 😁
Empress, I stated this before, but this in one of my FAVORITE MJ songs. I love this song. 💯💯on everything you spoke.
Yep you have‼️🔥🔥🔥
