Jackson 5 - Get It Together Lyrics

The guy in the background playing the drums is my cousin Jo Jo a few years ago about 10 years ago his girlfriend murdered him and Janet Jackson pay for the funeral

I wonder can Tito and Jermaine can dance just as the other fellas did.

Bob Hope is Fool. He and Michael are probably swapping jokes and pranks on each other. R.I.P. to both Michael Jackson and Bob Hope.

Best group in the king of pop💯💚

man j5 were the shit!!!

مايكل جاكسون افضل مطرب في العالم مللك البوب احبه كثيرا كثيرا كلم موثر اخ بس فقت احلى ملك بوب في العالم فقته والله دنيا صرت ظلم كثير ودنيا ظلمه من دونه مدري وشسوي من بعدك انت احلى مطرب شفته في حيايتي ربي يخذ حقك منهم الله على ظلم السببولك التعب والرهق وكلشي فيك هم سببوه وشسر بهدنيا يصير كلهذا اه مايكل ميستهل اسومبه كذا صح ولا بس حرمتونى منوه فقدن احلى الغني مايكل جاكسون الحلى والجمل مفيه اه فديدك والله احبك كثير ا جدا انت في قلبي الاانساك ابدن انت مايكل جاكسون في قلبي وحياتي عمري ودنيتي وافظل احبك موت اه لا انساك انت في قلبي احبك كثيرا انت وعيلتك وخونك وختك احبكممممممممممم

Great song, legendary group but that ending can literally cause a seizure

I'm digging the hat let me clarify that

I'm digging that bro wit that hat on that keyboards

Smooth with the spin...

Love! 💖

I recently saw the 4 Jackson brothers on stage performing some of their hits and it was painful to watch...... See there was something or someone missing.......... And since Michael is no longer with us or them what they need desperately is a frontman...... Not an MJ impersonator but a really good and talented person who at best fill the void left by Michael....... Hey, it worked for Queen...

Clifford Ulmer i was thinking the exact same thing like justin timberlake

Michael Jackson I will always love u forever and forever and Michael Jackson u will always be the greatest forever and forever

I Love Platforms. But those were some HIGH Heeled Platforms. Those would be a little to HIGH for Me to Rock out! I am digging the Costumes and I Love the Album. What a Show!! They're My favorite Band of All Time.

Cute little Randy.😘

Love this funky and extralove Michael 😍

mj always had the moves!!! love all these classic j5 clips!

Randy in the back

Michael Jackson I love u and Michael Jackson u will always be the greatest forever and forever and Michael Jackson u will always be in my heart forever and forever

This is the song that officially broke them away from the bubblegum sound. They were emancipated as a mature group and not just cute kids singing “ABC” “Mama’s Pearl” etc. Their best years at Motown IMO is from ‘73-‘75 when they got funkier and had a more mature sound.

I love this♥️ this one of my favorite Jackson 5 songs and a GREAT performance!

wow....garbage...yuk!!

The sylvers was my group but the Jacksons ...where bad xxxxxx

man, j5 were really good! i missed out on this time, but so glad i grew up in the 80s when thriller was so big!

They should've let them perform that hit song live instead of lip syncing

U can't guess how Michael faked his death u must learn how
he did becuz it's never been done b4-

Growing up in the '70's there was no group even close to the J5. Thier dance routines where tight. What a time that was to be a kid. So much fun.

This song was their very first non "bubblegum" song. The Get it Together album and single took them to a new direction. Especially Dancing Machine.

So was the ending live or the whole thing was lipped

The best group ever to grace this world in my opinion

I absolutely love this stage of his voice!😆😆😆😆😆

Thank you Jackson nation! Rest well Mike, Johnny, and of course you Mr. Joe Jackson.

pure entertainment. they give me so much joy! ☺

mike!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So good 😍

Docs prove Michael Jackson faked his corpse to fake his death! Watch this 100% factual documentary here: www.vimeo.com/ondemand/alive2michaeljackson then watch www.vimeo.com/ondemand/aliveiiimichaeljackson

BIG GIRL..whacha doin!!

Acid trip at 2:30

When it kept cutting cameras at the end, that was fucking trippy

I know all the names of the Jackson 5🍩🍦🍰🎂🍫🍎🍌🍉

No one had their dance moves on point like J5!!

They did their choreography

Is it coincidence that the maturity of the lyrics is coinciding with Michael's age and physical changes?

sfter sooooo many years listening to allichael'songs . i dont remember this song from the jacsons five.

Impeccable choreography, lead vocals, harmony, and showmanship.... saw the guys four times over the years: Aug 1974, in St Louis, Kiel Auditorium (I was a kid, couldn't believe I was actually watching them... my sister surprised us with the tickets), Summer 1984 (Victory Tour) in Jacksonville & Miami, and Aug 2014, in Orlando (The Gaylord Hotel), Tom Joyner's Labor Day Family Reunion, (needless to say, w/o Michael, but they gave him a heartfelt tribute).... we were right by the stage (a couple of sets from Bernadette Stanis (Thelma Evans of "Good Times")... and, I step up to fist-bump Jermaine.... then, some lady flew through the air (like Wonder Woman)... knocked me out of the way (she was pretty good size, too)... and, he fist-bumped her instead.... but, I each time I saw them... enjoyed them immensely !

Adorable

YESSS GET IT!!!!

Michael Jackson has been the lead dancer and singer and forever will be

The Jackson 5 were a cohesive, collective unit. And yes Michael (sometimes Jermaine) were the lead singers BUT it was their older brother Jackie who choreographed their moves.

Elizabeth Lowe shut up bitch

Jackson Five stole those moves from New Edition

uh the jackson 5 came BEFORE new edition ;) new edition is early to mid 80s, jackson 5 was late 60s ;)

Marlon, dude......those pant-leg stripes weren't cool, man!

Who's the boy that's singing in the middle? he's gonna be a big star one day!!!

The young man you mean.......Not BOY!!!

Only the Temptations(Ruffin and Dennis Edwards eras) looked as smooth dancing

@dakliq420 All due respect goes to the icons of yesterday. I grew up with them & imitated them. David Ruffin was a great singer and while with the Tempts, they danced - or, did choreographed routines. Ruffin's solo career was about crooning, not dancing. Individually....MJ outdanced everybody. He influenced generations with his moves. C'mon man. That's not even close!

If you want to talk about influence how about James Brown and Jackie Wilson.

@Stuart Perry MJ was influenced by those greats, & he took it to another level....one that won't be seen again. Where else is there to go? Unless somebody learns to become invisible & reappear, he's set the ceiling way up there.

dakliq420

Funny you should say that....this song has the "Temptations" vibe.

All of them came out of Motown , plus the Jacksons work mostly by themselves for a while.

THE FUNK!!

classic

Bob Hope introducing _The Jackson 5_ —now that's mega-superstardom all rolled into one!

A Boy Band where some of the members actually played instruments and are actually Tainted

The song is hot, but this performance wasn't very entertaining at all...

The Family.

By this time, the music that the J-5 made was getting more adult-sounding. Compare this song to, say, "I Want You Back", and you'll notice the difference.

William Reed

It starts with Michael who was going through a voice transition resulting in the group steadily moving past the "Bubble Gum" type of music into a more mature style.

The only boy band that doesn't suck.

And queen

And temptations

And melisizwe brothers. Ect ect

renarga I love you carson

If i could turn back the hands of time.......

Videos like this are a window to the past. If you could actually go back in time, any slight interruption would alter the trajectory of things.

1973 was the year Michael's voice matured, and he was only 15 years old.

my voice deepend at 13. unless you mean his singing voice

That's what I meant.

Man Randy Jackson is something else. He could play the hell out of them drums. Him bouncing and hitting them drums without messing up his rhythm takes timing and skill.

BlackCreationTV

BlackCreationTV

BlackCreationTV The actual name of Randy’s instrument is Congo’s or Congas . Bongos were smaller and are usually held between the legs when played .

Fuck Randy...

Clifford Ulmer fuck you....who molested you as a child nigga???

Jermaine the better singer

Michael is better

I'd say Jermaine is very very very underrated though. People just alwaays compare him to Michael so his extraordinary talent goes a bit unnoticed

You just prefer deeper voices. MJ had a wider range than Jermaine. There's virtual no other adult male vocalist (in popular music) who could hit c5 notes (and above) as easily as MJ without using falsetto.

Right On!!...to Orlando Gaffney!!...you hit it right in the mouth!...Damn!,,it's great to know that my own opinion is verified by others. (if more are out there ,.then speak up now!) Just to add to that comment,..I also believe that poverty also played a role in the downfall of great R & B artist development. Most of those DJs and the like couldn't afford instruments or training due to poor income and other complications of "the 'hood"...so they could only get their hands on tape recorders and samplers in one purchase. Most wanted to "participate" in the music but couldn't play any instruments and it would cost out of reach to attempt to. So,..in order to "be involved" with the glory of being a successful,admired Soul Artist or Group,..one got accepted by "Jammin' " with the records being spun at the clubs & discos by "mixing" the jams. Thus, creating "extended" versions. But,..just making the jams longer for there dancin' customers wasn't enough,..after one spun the record on the turntable,..just standing there while it played still left the DJ out the limelight so....enter "scratchin'"...by leading the crowd on with enticing "intros" to the next upcoming hit tune by forcing it in the mix. (ok,..yeah..some did this to match tempos and such..) Now,..if you are up on Black Music culture then you get my drift.
Moving on to "Rap"..this was simple,..can't "sing" then speak in tempo on the beat with the music! Hell,..you've got to get involved and express yourself some kind of way right? You can't sing well or at all nor play an instrument but damn,..you ARE culturally incline to "keep a beat plus have natural rhythm sense...so why not use it and "speak" your "lyrics" in time with the groove! Whala!!....Rap in born and good ethnically attributed Black-American R & B fades away to it's demise.
But folks there are STILL young and old Soul Warriors out there striving to revive and keep traditional R & B alive and well!! More power to those fine people!! I'm a Musician,..also one of such Soul Warriors!!...till I exist no more! (but the music & cause shall go on...) v('_' )

That adult voice kicking in

Stuart Perry

Mine's changed in early 1981 when I was 13.5. Shocked the pants off my family. I eventually became a bass.

For me, it was sometime after 8th Grade to Senior year.

For me it started sometime during my 9th grade year and it is still changing

My voice started changing when i was fifteen so the same around Michael’s in late 1972.

Fourteen*

A real "Bass"

The base is what really carried this jam. That is so unique at the time during those years. The instrumentals track was ahead of its time on this song.
I became disappointed during the 80s because black jam music and creativity went down hill big time when rap started to take over. The bands substituted good ole live musical instruments for a duo turntable scratching sounds and stupid lips and mouth sounds like donkeys and jackasses trying to do instrumentals with their mouths. Thank God that Michael Jackson, Lionel Richie,  Kool and the Gang continued with traditional black music and R&B along with all of the black female singers because that Rap Hip Hop music in the 80s and 90s was just a cold slap in the face to black talent and creativity I couldn't take it anymore. I started listening to New Wave music where people still played real instruments such as Duran Duran, The Clash, B52s, The Cars, Sting, Billy Idol and a taste for Rock And Roll like Journey, Def Leopard,  Eddie Van Helen and so on. At least it sounded good and everyone played their own instruments instead of using someone else music playing in the background. Never thought the day would come when I would start liking Rock&Roll and New Wave music at the time due to black music going down hill to a primitive state using other peoples background music and scratch duo turntable music mixing crap. But it helped Michael Jackson big time becoming the greatest entertainer of all time and largest record sells ever because he stayed the course and kept it clean and people who took music seriously turned and crossed over to him along with the black female divas and the white audience who kept it clean.

lol but very true

Michael Jackson actually composed many of his classics by beat boxing. Just thought you'd be interested to know that.

The Jackson Five...NGO...Never Gets Old. Blessings

The 2 different voices you all hear are that of Michael and Jermaine both are singing the 2 part lead vocals in this song... LOOK VERY CLOSELY AT THE VIDEO!!!

That bass lick is SICK

I watch all of their old clips, it brings me joy...I must say, their choreography was always perfect, in step all the way.

OMG! I can't believe I came across this song, it was one of my favorites from that era. It's good to see the video

OMG! I can't I came across this song, this was one of my favorites from that area. it's so good to see this video

I love how his voice sounds like a  combination between his child voice and his mature voice

Umm that's called puberty DUH We all went through that phase.SMDH

I love this period as well. 1972-1976 were the years were he did the most transition

Yes. Ive been loving this '73-'78 era of the Jacksons, and Michael. They were so good.

I can hear it also...wow...great ear you have...

This was the first song I heard the voice change. Fall of 1973, I believe. No new material from the Jackson 5 most of that year. When this song came out we knew why. Michael and Marlon were seen as tall as Tito for the first time and Jermaine was taller than Tito. The Jackson 5 had changed slightly. Michael basically would no longer have his child like voice. He may have been about 14 or 15 here.

They killed that choregraphy

I saw them in person. ELECTRIC. They danced the entire time they were onstage. Incredible. Never seen anything like it before or since.

Yesssss INDEED! 😍😍 I had 2 play it back like 3x's in the very beg, like WHAAA ???!! Ya'll betta COME THRU with this choreography, YASSS!☺☺😍 Insane the amount of talent Michael was blessed with from such a young age (may my King rest in the heavens but never b forgotten and 4ever b loved❤🌻❤) and with the Jacksons boys together they were nothing 2 b played with! Loved it!🤩😍😍

fuck yeah

Yup they sure did💜

MICHAEL TE AMO CON MI VIDA

25 million an counting yeah how bout got it together an aint nobody out here yet that can touch him happy birthday in heaven Michael we miss u

i want those pants!!!

I absolutely love Michael's tween voice. You can hear both little Mike and adult Mike at the same time.

As great a band, ive always wondered where the horns came from...

i guess 2 people couldn't get it together...

Ok! You don't see choreography like that anymore.

I love u Michael!!

This is an amazing video

Damn !! they had that dance tight.

Over 25 Million in 5 years. wow. If mj was an adult he would laugh at that he sold 25 over 25 million with one album

From 1970 to 1973 they sold OVER 25 million that's amazing...especially for that time....Some people go there whole career and never get that close...

ITS 2011 AND IM STILL STUCK IN THHESE DAYS

uncleO same here in 2017.

me too!🏵💕🌹

Same. I wanna go back.

.."I can't stand all this confusion." Say that, Michael. R.i.P. I like this song. Look at Randy on Bongos.

"Get off you high horse girl, think of what you doin' doin'." That is what I want to tell every teen girl that is having sex and getting knocked up.

Who is the man who talks at the start?

Where are you from Mars Or Pluto?

AndreaElizabeth100 The Bob Hope Show.

Jackson brothers, masters of funk

Yup always💚❗✌😸

@shorty1ification They're not related but just have the same surname.

The cat on keyboards is ICE COLD

Did he say OVER 25 MIlLION records if that aint legendary I dont know what is?!

Good to see Johnny and Ronnie playing with them.

@luvdrmd34 This was the Bobe Hope Show 1973. The Ed Sullivan Show became defunct in 1971 (FYI).

@miamisteele was just thinking the same thing. this must have been the transition from boy to man voice. both equally impressive tho. shocked me when he started singing. i thought he was older for this song. wow. talented little mikey
