It's noted that this was one of the only songs in Motown that recording the song Michael started doing his famous vocal hicop but of course Motown didn't want the Jackson 5 showing any control.
His voice was clearly changing at that point. He's "Lil' Mike" when he hits the high notes...but "Grown Mike" when he hits the lower/softer notes. My parents also bought me my first Jackson 5 album in 1973 ot 1974 "Get It Together."
It's amazing how his voice didn't loose it's magic when it started changing. Most magically beautiful voice forever. Love the style too :) And love u the most Mike!
Michael Jackson is my Boaz, Michael is my first and only love; the love of my life. Michael, always the right words so much passion in the word. I love you with all my heart, Michael!
This song was perfect for MJ b/c his voice was in transition. You could here there's more bass when he sings the verses but he coud hit the high notes during the chorus and adlibs. I love it!!
goodness gracious, Michael had a nice but even at fifteen. What a kind and gentle amazing human being that will be tremendously missed throughout the entire world. How many of us can say that about ourselves. The power that Michael had was extraordinary to say the least. All the things he had to endure, none of us will never know. But Michael Jackson will never be forgotten. He left us a legacy that others will try to imitate, but can never duplicate. Love, Forever and Always.
I can't get any sound from it, even though i've checked my speakers. I really wanted to see him sing it. Anyway, I've got every Jackson 5 album now, and working on the "Jacksons", I listened to every song since I missed all Michael's music while growing up, and only remember the "hits" they had. I came to this song, and it blew me away, how perfect Michael was in voice right on this song. It was a Wow moment for me. What can I say? It's beautiful, amazing, etc.
Liebe, diesen Song ( It's too late to change the time ) von denn Jackson 5, besonders wie Michael Jacksons bei der 1:05min da tanzt, das sah richtig super cool aus.
IT IS TO LATE MICHAEL BABY BECAUSE I WOULD GO BACK TO MY CHILDHOOD IN A HEARTBEAT YOU WOULD STILL BE HERE AND NOT A GLOBAL SUPER STAR JUST A BLACK TEEN IDOL BECAUSE WHEN YOU WERE KING THE LIES AND THE INDUSTRY KILLED YOU 😭 BECAUSE TODAYS ENTERTAINMENT HAS NO TRUE RAW TALENT AND NO TRUE MUSICIANS OR SINGERS NO TALENT IN TV PROGRAMS HORRIBLE FAKE REALITY TV AUTO TUNE RAPPERS AND SINGERS CRAP COMMERCIALS 😡 I WAS 3 IN 1974 I SO REMEMBER MY PARENTS WERE HOLDING ME AND WATCHING THIS WITH MY BROTHER AND 2 SISTERS ON THE LIVING ROOM SOFA ✊🏾
@Ladysugarshaft That verse right there hit me hard, because I been wanting to go to New York city and make something of myself, but I'm a little scare, shy, a little insecure of myself.
Full,effect of his chemical castration here. Horrible what that father did to him, but the only modern day example of that castrata vocal ability. Beautiful voice but he never had a chance to decide for himself if it would be worth a lifetime of infertility. Child abuse like we have not seen in a hundred years. What a phenomena he was. So much ability and angst and talent and drive all mixed up with a screwed up body chemistry. I hope he knows how much we appreciated his sacrifice and how sorry we are for his pain and struggle. What a life. So misunderstood.
