Have you heard The Jacksons cover of Doctor My Eyes..or Shirley Scott's cover of I Want You Back (curious amount of key changes though); June 26, 2009 10:29 AM

The last concert I went to was the Bad tour at the old Wembley stadium.; June 26, 2009 2:19 PM

P.S. One of my fave Michael moments is the way he sings the chorus differently the second time on I Want You Back.; June 26, 2009 3:47 PM
Davy H said...: Emmett, it's this one. I really enjoyed it.; June 26, 2009 3:56 PM
drew said...: have always been in 2 minds about Jackson. Always thought that he was a bit of a joke but also had some sympathy about the way he was portrayed in the press.

But the Jackson 5 did produce some classics.

Anyway, it's gin time.; June 26, 2009 9:19 PM
