50 years ago to date, I heard this song....I'm from Mexico and had just moved to Fresno California....I had no knowledge in English and knew nothing about what he was saying/singing...but let me tell you: I started sobbing, crying in back of my mom's car...in silence...I will never forget that moment.
Just had the King of Pop on my heart, wanted to hear his classics. Yesterday was his birthday. Happy Birthday Michael Jackson. You will never be forgotten, not just for your music, but for your sheer genius, sweat and compassion for all.
I saw Michael do this live before he went solo & was still touring w his brothers. Half the audience was on their feet in tears -- including all kinds of macho men who were seated with their heads in the hands absolutely sobbing. Live --- too beautiful & so-o-o-o powerful there are no words. Easy to see how MJ sold out thousands of stadiums during his career.
I was never a MJ fan , but what was he here 13 or 14 ? And there is no denying his talent at this age was most likely unmatched worldwide. He was quite passionate as he sang this tune. I did absolutely love he and McCartney doing the girl is mine. Another Masterpiece.
There are some times when I just break down and cry when I hear this song. Michael's voice is so exquisitely beautiful in every single way, yet tantalizingly eerie and awe-inspiring. Despite my age, I feel as though it was just yesterday when he went on this stage and sang this song. It's so fresh and new to me, even though I've known it all my life. In some ways, I can find relations between this song and Michael himself. "With a friend to call my own, I'll never be alone" is one of the most tear-jerking sentences. Especially as a teenager, he was desolate. He needed a "friend to call his own", yet no-one was ever there for him. He was lonely and burdened at such a tender age, and the public speculated nothing. Even though there is nothing that can change that now, I would like to say a couple things, most of which are directed to Michael. First off, thank you for the music. Thank you for spreading your message of love and helping others. There are endless things I could say about the emotion you pack within your words: the joy, the sorrow, the hopelessness, the hope, the dreams, and the childlike wonder. Even though I cannot help now, I will do my best of protecting your rights even after death (whether it be staged or not), and I will always spread the L.O.V.E. to everyone, just as you would have wanted. Thank you to the user who published the video, and I hope you all have a beautiful day. Please spread the L.O.V.E. and Heal the World.
I was about 7 years old when this song came out...I cried like a baby! Such soulful, heartfelt lyrics moved me then, still moves me now. I still cry sometimes when I listen to Ben. You’re were One in a Million Michael: RIP Sweet Man❤️
This song is about a rat, loved by an abused young teen; & rat returns that love. MJ at that tender age captures ALL the deep emotions of a mature veteran singer. He’s truly a born entertainer that no one can eclipse.

Heard this song during a medical treatment for depression and it brought back how I felt watching the movie. Ben wasn't a murder rat to Danny. Ben was good, a friend, someone misunderstood by so many but not Danny. Being seen and accepted. And then here comes baby Michael Jackson singing like the beautiful innocent soul he was completing the movie and I'm done.
I was homeless for abit 2 years ago and ended up renting a room in a run down house with holes in the roof, no heating and damp, which was clearly illegal but it was a place to stay, I got a hamster as it was the only pet i was allowed and called her Evie for a while she was the only thing I had in my life that I could love and care for, I made sure she had everything and was spoilt, she's still alive now and living life in a large cage with everything a hamster needs and wants (I did my research) she's still alive now but we have gone through everything together, I know I sound sad writing this about a hamster but for a while she was all I had to keep me going, we are out of that run down room now, and have a nice home but this song reminds me of her and the hard times I've gone through with her by my side, il be gutted when she passes on but this song will always remind me of her/us ❤️
I remember my mum being on heroin and me going through some of the worst times in my life but the only reason I kept my self going was because of m.j his music gave my life reason to live i have a lot of Respect for m.j and anybody that puts him down just hasn't got a heart in their chest the guy did all he could to save the world and our souls but all people can do is tell lies about him they need there heads sorted out cause I hate liars so to the people who have told lies about m.j you are nothing nothing but a selfish money grabbing peirce of Rubbish your kind of people are not welcome in this beautiful world Rip mjj aka Michael Joseph Jackson Rest in peace my brother peace and love

Oh my - getting all nostalgic, almost too eerie and mystical; and can you believe a beautiful being like this young boy once graced our lives?! MAGICAL
muzo56281721 I could not have said it better myself. When I read what you wrote especially " beautiful being" made me cry. It is so funny certain words can trigger such strong emotions.
Easily the highest ceiling of any musician I’ve ever heard. Every person in the studio during this recording must have realized this was more than generational (if they didn’t already). Nobody will ever replicate this level. At 13/14 the depth of emotion in the words is incredible.
I remember I loved this song so much growing up, I used to listen to it over and over and daydream. Michael's voice is so angelic, it gets me everytime. Miss you Michael🙏🏾❤ You gave us so much. Thank you.
Classic Michael Jackson. What a voice! He was one in two million, no doubt in my mind. Yeah, I'm a closet Michael Jackson fan. I think he was one of the most talented songwriters and singers of the 20th century.
No he didn't write it but HE ASKED for it to be written by Don Black after he saw the film Ben. Black was on TV recently and said he was bemused at being asked to write a song about a rat. MJ said the lyric 'I used to say I and me, now it's us, now it's we' was the most moving song lyric he'd ever heard. Just because an artist doesn't pen the song doesn't make it any less their song. Nor can they be classed as 'stealing' a song if the song rights for other artists to use it are there🤷♂️
In all the drama of his life I think we forget what a beautiful child he was and how talented he was. I miss him and I wasnt a big fan of his until recently, he did some amazing songs.
Boy this song brings back some memories I remember the first time hearing this song in a drive-in a drive-in theater in case you young kids don't know what that is you used to be able to drive your cars into a theater sometimes you watch movies sometimes you didn't but anyhow what an incredible young man brings back some memories thank you for sharing this I had a moment.
M.J. was so gorgeous with all the characteristics of his ethnicity. A born talent, incredible, unique and complete in all senses. Pure innocence and this was sheer perfection. RIP Michael J. BTW- You will never be forgotten. LOve you forever.❤
I played this for my 26-y-o daughter last night. It was the first time she ever heard it. She just cried like a baby. All she could say was, "The voice of an angel." Can't argue that point.
I used to sing this song to my sweet pup Ben, who died yesterday. We put him to sleep due to old age and he was starting to have too much weakness and pain moving around. My heart is breaking, I feel so lonely without him he was by my side for 15 years.
Sorry for your loss. I too, had a dog named Ben. He wandered in as a three month old pup, full of ticks. His name is derived directly from this song. I sang it to him all the time.
My brother Ben who was born in October 1972 was named after this song. It was my mom and dad and my grandma's favorite Michael Jackson song. My Italian American grandma loved Michael as much as she loved Elvis. She knew the words to many Thriller songs, (we would sing them together!) and like me, she would get so excited when his MTV videos came out, and sometimes we would watch them together. She died in the late 1980's. Michael, thanks for my lifetime of great memories!
He is a singer beyond compare, we can never ignore how he brought music into our lives, touched our hearts, so consoling and therapeutic. His voice and his delivery is so Divine. Michael Jackson is a God given gift to mankind.
One of the greatest artists that never existed. No one is like MJ and no one will ever be. RIP and may God has his mercy on your soul. I have never believed one word negative about you. You were a child in spirit and loved humanity and aspired to peace, love and saving our world with your songs. You will stay forever in our minds ❤❤❤
I know the movie this is from, but you can't tell me that the writer didn't have someone human in mind when he wrote this song. It's absolutely beautiful.
Que maravilhosa Michael Jackson..Era pessoa que eu mais amava nessa eu chorava demais ouvido suas músicas que penetra no coração tão forte que agente fica com alma limpa..teamo Michael Jackson..tu mora no meu coração..tenho 50 disco dele..vou leiloar 20 raros novinhos..
This was my favorite song when I was little. Hands down. The 90's when everyone was going crazy over the newest boy bands and newest pop artists, grunge, rap... I was listening to MJ & The J5. No wonder why everyone called/still calls me an old soul 💕 I was definitely born in the wrong era! My brother had a garage band and I got on the mic one day and chose to sing this song 😊 RIP Michael! Beautiful soul 🙏
This song has been fvxkn me since I was 5.. That first line-Micheal’s voice and a meteor’s worth of sensitivity and sincerity. It’s always too much, in the most overwhelmingly beautiful way. I hope Ben lived a good little furry life. 🐀
The song gets more emotional as he raises his voice.... you're a legend if you're listening to this in 2024
I have the sheet music and am playing it on the piano in 2024
i must be a legend then
was good til he started playing with boys from his early 20's.

That made me cry, I’m not an out loud cryer . Always silent. Haha
This is a song about true friendship and loyalty. Heart melting song. I love you Michael Jackson🖤🖤🖤
I used to cry over this when i was a little girl...We Miss you Michael Jackson!
Me too 😢
It still makes me cry.
I had a dog named Ben. He recently passed at 15 yrs old. This song means so much.
So sorry
I'm sorry for your loss
I understand no words oh God!!! 🙏🙏🙏😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
😢😢😢😢😢😢😢
To have that much talent, poise, and presence at age 13/14 is mind-boggling!
Without question. He had 2 top 50 hits in 1972. Crazy.
*Yep! It's as if every line of the lyrics refers to Michael himself...* 😥
His Voice is Magic which made him star!
This song has been breaking my heart for over 50 years!
40 year to me ❤ bless u
He sang this song from his heart he was/is beautiful what a voice Michael will never die he lives on through his music
Just had the King of Pop on my heart, wanted to hear his classics. Yesterday was his birthday. Happy Birthday Michael Jackson. You will never be forgotten, not just for your music, but for your sheer genius, sweat and compassion for all.
Why am I crying 😢😢😢. This song is about trust, love, and friendship.
Probably because we know michael was lonely, i feel the same way makes me sad
true but it's really about ben the leader of a muderous pack of rats that befriends a boy. from the horror movie ben.
michael close Correct!
A Mouse
Because it makes me cry too. I feel sad when I see the video about his pet rat dying.
I saw Michael do this live before he went solo & was still touring w his brothers.

Was this about his pet rat? I know he loved animals
@@DJK-cq2uy, this was the theme song to the 1972 horror film "Ben", which was a sequel to "Willard" (1971). Ben was basically a killer rat.
I was never a MJ fan , but what was he here 13 or 14 ?
And there is no denying his talent at this age was most likely unmatched worldwide. He was quite passionate as he sang this tune.

Yes he was 13 going on 14. But he was still part of the Jackson Five. He was 11 when he performed "I Want You Back" with his brothers.
Heard the song on the 1972 Ben movie & now can’t stop hearing it. So beautiful & sweet 💘❤️ RIP ❤️🙏🏼

Oh my - getting all nostalgic, almost too eerie and mystical; and can you believe a beautiful being like this young boy once graced our lives?! MAGICAL
muzo56281721 I could not have said it better myself. When I read what you wrote especially " beautiful being" made me cry. It is so funny certain words can trigger such strong emotions.
Super great song Michael unbelievable talent gone too soon we still have his music videos and the music he wrote Ben is one of my favs
Easily the highest ceiling of any musician I’ve ever heard. Every person in the studio during this recording must have realized this was more than generational (if they didn’t already). Nobody will ever replicate this level. At 13/14 the depth of emotion in the words is incredible.
In tears....after all this years of listening to a shining star
I remember I loved this song so much growing up, I used to listen to it over and over and daydream. Michael's voice is so angelic, it gets me everytime. Miss you Michael🙏🏾❤ You gave us so much. Thank you.
Classic Michael Jackson. What a voice! He was one in two million, no doubt in my mind. Yeah, I'm a closet Michael Jackson fan. I think he was one of the most talented songwriters and singers of the 20th century.
That’s OK, as long as Michael wasn’t in the closet with you.
@@stevejones8660this is so gold,
He didn't write any songs. Stole some though .
No he didn't write it but HE ASKED for it to be written by Don Black after he saw the film Ben. Black was on TV recently and said he was bemused at being asked to write a song about a rat. MJ said the lyric 'I used to say I and me, now it's us, now it's we' was the most moving song lyric he'd ever heard.
Just because an artist doesn't pen the song doesn't make it any less their song. Nor can they be classed as 'stealing' a song if the song rights for other artists to use it are there🤷♂️
In all the drama of his life I think we forget what a beautiful child he was and how talented he was. I miss him and I wasnt a big fan of his until recently, he did some amazing songs.
Boy this song brings back some memories I remember the first time hearing this song in a drive-in a drive-in theater in case you young kids don't know what that is you used to be able to drive your cars into a theater sometimes you watch movies sometimes you didn't but anyhow what an incredible young man brings back some memories thank you for sharing this I had a moment.
I remember when this was on the radio. I loved Michael when I was a child. :)
Weird to think that such a beautiful song was written for the end credits of a horror film sequel.
...Yep! ... &... about a homicidal murderous rat, no less...!!! (lol) 🐀
Yeah I wonder how many people know Ben is a killer rat

M.J. was so gorgeous with all the characteristics of his ethnicity. A born talent, incredible, unique and complete in all senses.
Pure innocence and this was sheer perfection. RIP Michael J.
BTW- You will never be forgotten. LOve you forever.❤
What an honor to just have been able to know Michael Jackson listen to his catalog of 🎵🎶 music
Майкл Джексон всегда с нами , в наших сердцах. Мне его песни и творчество нравится. Когда его не стало, как будто потерял близкого человека.
I still love you Michael, my nephews do too.. R.I.P KING OF POP, never shall there ever be another like you.
Thank you
Moment of silence
He looks so young
and thank god your nephews didnt hang out at Neverland with MJ.....
I played this for my 26-y-o daughter last night. It was the first time she ever heard it. She just cried like a baby. All she could say was, "The voice of an angel." Can't argue that point.
I used to sing this song to my sweet pup Ben, who died yesterday. We put him to sleep due to old age and he was starting to have too much weakness and pain moving around. My heart is breaking, I feel so lonely without him he was by my side for 15 years.
Sorry for your loss. I too, had a dog named Ben. He wandered in as a three month old pup, full of ticks. His name is derived directly from this song. I sang it to him all the time.
My late puppy brought me here.
My brother Ben who was born in October 1972 was named after this song. It was my mom and dad and my grandma's favorite Michael Jackson song. My Italian American grandma loved Michael as much as she loved Elvis. She knew the words to many Thriller songs, (we would sing them together!) and like me, she would get so excited when his MTV videos came out, and sometimes we would watch them together. She died in the late 1980's. Michael, thanks for my lifetime of great memories!
My 16 year old chihuahua mix named Ben is what brought me here.
My Favorite Michael Jackson Song Ever..
i love all his song from that era
you should watch the film its based off of, Ben 1972
@@Wilson.P.Higgsbury you should watch willard 2003 ❤
Desde pequeño Michael Jackson se destacó por cantar muy bien.....con su hermosa voz.....
I used to listen to this song over and over and just SOB!
I just wished he could of had a little more time to be kid . He was just the most amazing performer that we ever see again. ❤️👍
Alittle more time it was ripped away from him just like mine
I agree
Beautiful song and Beautiful voice ❤❤❤
Love him to bits. Always will, always have. Legend of legends.🙏🥀
Sing it friend, I remember watching you on TV singing this. Fantastic Voice. Thanks for your music!
Lovin Michael forever and whatever songs he sings are always the best!! No Competition, no-one will ever beat nor match the talent of Michael jackson!
amen!!!! he was the best singer and performer of all time!!! I lived in his error and i believe
Angelic voice of MJ
Michael's music was always inviting you to place you are appreciated! A place you can dance, cry and just be yourself!
lovely, rip michael; i'll never forget you.. keep shining..
Angelic voice
2024 here
He is a singer beyond compare, we can never ignore how he brought music into our lives, touched our hearts, so consoling and therapeutic. His voice and his delivery is so Divine. Michael Jackson is a God given gift to mankind.
Before Beat It and Bad, there was Ben to make a hit. R.I.P MJ.
ALSO there are Michael's golden years with the Jackson 5 song wise. though his experience in those years would have deep repurcussions later in life.
THANK YOU, Michael for this song. It help ease my lonliness then and now. God Bless you, Sir.
Perfect pitch there it is folks
Yes! God given despite what people said about his behavior!
Just got so emotional 😢 michael jackson was one of the greatest ❤❤❤😢😢
Michael 😭😭😭😭😭 great voice
M.J. always knew our souls were aligned... Blessings beloved friend.. 🌹
Such a beautiful song for such a not-so-beautiful movie. 🥺
A weird movie, right? Original, at least.
Loved this song since I was a child, I’m now 53. Dad had it on one of the 70’s Greatest Hits albums track 3 LOL
What a sweet voice! If I ever saw the young Michael Jackson I’d probably give him a hug.
Probably. When was the last time You hugged a young African American male? Lol
God he had such a beautiful voice.
My heart breaks for young MJ.
I wish I could've been there for him.
Amo essa música
Uma das que marcou minha juventude
❤️
Foi tão cedo o Michael 😭💔
A beautiful song about a rat. This song came out in my freshman year of high school. Amazing how 44 years later it still sparkles with vitality.
I have pet rats because i saw this film as a kid, Just beautiful!
So you’re the same age as MJ?
@@Thisismyusername7 older
@@keythdanielsen8316 oh a lot older? Or just slightly?
@@Thisismyusername7 I'm 64. I'm not sure how old he would be if he was alive now.
One of the greatest artists that never existed. No one is like MJ and no one will ever be. RIP and may God has his mercy on your soul. I have never believed one word negative about you. You were a child in spirit and loved humanity and aspired to peace, love and saving our world with your songs. You will stay forever in our minds ❤❤❤
Thats the voice! I will always cherish all your music! Thanks you!
I know the movie this is from, but you can't tell me that the writer didn't have someone human in mind when he wrote this song. It's absolutely beautiful.
what a blast from the past. Beautiful song!
Thanks for sharing, shared.
this song gives me goosebumps
love u mj♥♥ forever..
This song and video touched my life so many years ago, from the movie Willard, awesome!!!
Pretty sure it's from the sequel to Willard called Ben.
Que maravilhosa Michael Jackson..Era pessoa que eu mais amava nessa eu chorava demais ouvido suas músicas que penetra no coração tão forte que agente fica com alma limpa..teamo Michael Jackson..tu mora no meu coração..tenho 50 disco dele..vou leiloar 20 raros novinhos..
Such a beautiful song ❤
😢😢😢. qué preciocidad de voz!!! que DIOS lo tenga en el cielo mi querido Michael.
Such a beautiful song, Michael knows I give love. The movie too was a claasic xx
This was my favorite song when I was little. Hands down. The 90's when everyone was going crazy over the newest boy bands and newest pop artists, grunge, rap... I was listening to MJ & The J5. No wonder why everyone called/still calls me an old soul 💕 I was definitely born in the wrong era! My brother had a garage band and I got on the mic one day and chose to sing this song 😊 RIP Michael! Beautiful soul 🙏
This song has been fvxkn me since I was 5.. That first line-Micheal’s voice and a meteor’s worth of sensitivity and sincerity. It’s always too much, in the most overwhelmingly beautiful way. I hope Ben lived a good little furry life. 🐀
Maior cantor da história ! Um gênio, espetacular
No ,se repetirá una voz ni en mil años. Asuuuuu ...Michael Jackson .....eternoooooo..
THIS SONG ALWAYS GETS TO ME 😢😢😢😢AND THE COMPASSION AND HEART HE PUT INTO THIS WE FOREVER LOVE AND MISS YOU ETERNALLY MICHAEL R.I.P WE LOVE YOU!!!!!!
Some people are so loving and you are one of them❤❤❤❤❤❤❤.
THANK YOU SO MUCH ❤
A lot of people don’t even realize where this song derives from. I’ve been drawn to story for decades!
Is it ironic that Michael probably never had anyone in his life that reciprocated the lyrics of this song back to him?
Jeff Cobb ironic and so very sad
Rosie ,Ray and Charles....
do any of us?
He had a wife. He was totally isolated like everyone seems to say.
yeah. He paid a heavy price for becoming Michael Jackson. Really rather sad.
one of the greatest of all time
Como amo ,suas músicas, sua linda voz toca na alma, você é eterno no meu coração, te amo ❤
Beautiful song, lyrics and music. Beautifully sung by the only person who ever should ,!, hope to see you in the new system my brother.😊❤
The lyrics are exquisite
I first heard this song at the drive in movies in the 70s and have always loved it
