Who's Loving You would be spectacular if it was preformed 77-84!

mid80s studio recordings of following songs would have been great

Too late to change the time
Ben
Never can say googbye
to make my father proud
love trip

none. everything worked out the way it was supposed to.

the early Jackson 5 songs were designed for children's voices - even if the lyrics were sometimes more mature.. 'ben' should have been dropped after puberty. it didn't sound right at all on the 'triumph' tour.

I will say that 'never can say goodbye' sounded great on Motown 25. the rest of the medley did too, but that was the last time. the group should have disbanded right after..


Michael's late teen voice was basically the same, if not very similar, to his early 20's one (my fave I don't see what difference re-singing those songs would make. I do think that 'one day in your life', 'dancing machine', and 'farewell my summer love' could have continued to be performed though..

Several, but I have to especially go with "Who's lovin' you" and "A fool for you".
