    Michael was scary talented upon reflection. He wasn`t just a kid with a cute voice. He had more control of his voice than most seasoned professionals. A God given talent. This was the title song for the sequel to the film "Willard" called " Ben".

      There's an interview with Donny Osmond when Michael Jackson reached out to him while he was in his motorhome driving throughout the country with his family because he was stressed out from all the celebrity and Donny Osmond invited him to come over with his family and stay with his family for a while hang out at the pool and just have some normal family time because life was stressing him out but he never took him up on it. I think in that way Michael Jackson was very much like Elvis Presley he had a tough time accepting help from other people and destroyed himself.

    Now, sir - I'm SURE you didn't "suck" in your competition! The Jackson family was LOADED with talent, but it was evident even at such a young age, Mr. Michael Jackson got the lion's share. The movie, "Ben", which this song was written for, was released in 1972, & was the sequel to the movie, "Willard", released in 1971. Ben was the highly intelligent, but EXTREMELY sinister rat star of both. You may want to binge-watch them back-to-back some dark & creepy night, sir! Couple of my fave Jackson 5 songs you may want to check out if you haven't already, sir: "I Want You Back", which is a banger; & "I'll Be There", which my late husband & I chose as one of our wedding songs. Thank you, sir, for this trip down memory lane, with all its many stops!

    Hi Harry blessings from the northwest in the United States. There's an interview with Donny Osmond when he said that song was originally written for him to record but that they were on tour so they couldn't record it and then they gave it to Michael Jackson to sing and it was a huge hit and the movie is really good too. There's another interesting point there's a song that the Osmonds had a big hit with called One bad Apple which was originally written for the Jacksons and for some reason they couldn't record it or they didn't want to do it and the Osmonds made it a huge hit. There's a good video of the Osmonds doing One bad Apple and if you play that then you can bring up the story and I think would be very interesting to your followers on this channel.

    This is one of those rare moments where the Generation X person tells a story in the song. Nhe was born in 1958, the start of the Generation X, so in his formayive years he was heavily influenced by the baby boomer.
    Fraces Yip, a famous Hong Kong singer and a former Cathay Pacific air hostess, sang this son beautifully back in the mid-70s with all the rhythmic highs and lows. She is a baby boomer.
    Just like Tracy Huang the Taiwanese singer which I mentioned in one of your other videos, Fraces Yip the Hong Kong singer is still singing.
    I think you can check out Rracy Huang's Emotions and Francis Yip Speak Softly Love for a change of East Asian singers singing English songs. Your patrons would flip hearing their renditions. Tracy Huang is also a baby boomer.
    Actualpy they had such gentle voices in those songs that I recommended above that they even sound better the original singers. In fact you MUST do a reaction to these two songs one day.
