Quote of the day: "Because I think every child star suffers through this period because you're not the cute and charming child that you were. You start to grow, and they want to keep you little forever."

The Jacksons recorded their first two albums after leaving Motown in Philadelphia with Gamble and Huff songs and the Philadelphia International production crew. When the Jacksons came to PIR, they were transitioning away from the brand name of the Jackson Five.

In 1976 and 1977, Gamble and Huff produced and co-wrote songs for the albums The Jacksons and Going Places, as part of a double imprint deal with CBS/Epic Records, the Jacksons’ new label. Several hit songs came out of that production effort, including “Enjoy Yourself” and “Let Me Show You the Way to Go.”

I think about the good times We shared together Whenever I think of you Something goes through my mind, through my mind My heart starts churning I wanna see you again I think about the good times Nothing but the good times I think about the good times We shared together Oh, like holding hands Remember how we made our plans We used to dream on a star How did we get like we are

I think about the good times Nothing but the good times I think about the good times We shared together It's funny things don't always Go the way you want them to Although we're not together (Although we're not together) I treasure my experience with you Oh, like exploring love Moonlit sky above Learning how to give Learning how we should live Oh (Good times) (The good times baby) I think about it (Good times) We shared together Oh (Good times) Ain't nothing like the good times (The good times baby)

I think about it About the good times We shared together (The good times baby) Together, together I think about it (Long as we live) I remember, yes I remember (The good times baby) As long as we live I'll think about (The good times, baby) Yes, the good times The real good times (Holding hands) (Exploring love) (Learning how to give) (Learning how to live) (Learning how to love) (The good times, baby) (Good times) Good times (The good times, baby) Yes (Good times) The good times (The good times, baby) Yeah (Good times) (The good times, baby)


The Jacksons - Dreamer

[video=youtube;Ig2CuYYPszs]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ig2CuYYPszs[/video]

I guess I'll always a dreamer Dreaming my life away, dreaming my life away A romantic fool, that's what I am I think about you, all day long Though it's impossible, for us together Oh it's not real, a love I can't feel Guess I'll always be a dreamer Dreaming my life away, dreaming my life away I just can't wait, till I go to sleep I'll be with you, all night long Circumstances held me in a terrible face It's fantasy,

I just like to share these moments together Guess I'll always be a dreamer Dreaming my life away, dreaming my life away And nothing comes but sleep, to a dreamer And when you wake up the dream is gone away Guess I'll always be a dreamer Dreaming my life away, dreaming my life away Guess I'll always be a dreamer

Michael wasn't in the video, he didn't want to, it was a doll

^ You're right sabe… And I'm glad he wasnt either… no offense to the brothers but I'm not very fond of the video. At one point, where Jackie grabs onto an eye looking thing… Eeek...
