Jackson 5 songs where Michael isn’t the lead singer? -j5

I consider myself a pretty big fan of Michael Jackson and while I like a lot of The Jackson 5/The Jacksons songs, I’m definitely not an expert on their catalog.

It’s common knowledge that Michael was the lead singer on most Jackson 5 songs (and particularly hits), but which songs had the other brothers on lead vocals instead?

One that comes to mind is The Christmas Song. Jermaine had such a nice voice and did a great job on it. Are there other songs like that?

-j5 Justice for Randy!

He’s the only brother not inducted into the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame. Yes, he wasn’t technically a part of the original Jackson 5, but he was an unofficial member playing the bongos! JMHO

What do you think of Dangerous?

Michael Jackson's album Dangerous is a MASTERPIECE, so I decided to make a short about it!

Tell me in the comments what you think of the album, how you rank it in his discography, and what your favorite song from the album is : )

Jermaine eyebrow scar-j5

I was just browsing old J5 pictures when it really stood out to me that Jermaine circa 1970 has a cut/scar going across his right eyebrow

TIL: Michael Jackson and Stevie Wonder were actually third cousins, and Stevie broke down in tears singing “The Way You Make Me Feel” after Michael’s death

What is your favourite Jermaine Jackson solo record?

I think Dynamite is his best solo effort, but You Said is my favourite.

Jermaine’s song escape from the planet of the antman.

Personally, i think this song is great and Jermaine’s vocals blend in well with the lyrics. What do you think?

Does MJ have the most ICONIC 3 album run with Off The Wall, Thriller and Bad?

Michael Jackson has one of the most ICONIC 3 album runs in music history in my opinion.

Off The Wall, Thriller and Bad are all classics, but I want you to tell me in the comments if you agree with me and what other 3 album runs are close to MJ's : )

How much did Jermaine and Tito play on stage -j5

Obviously they both had their guitar and bass on hand the whole time so I was wondering how much of the instrumentation they were actually playing back then.

-j5 The Jacksons: Triumph Album

I’m always disappointed that the era of Triumph isn’t talked about enough when referring to Michael Jackson’s career. Or even the respects of the brothers. They are so talented and contributed so much to that album. All of them wrote composed and produced. Randy and Jackie contributed heavily also in the writing process. And in my opinion Triumph has some of Michael Jackson’s greatest work. I’m not one to skip anything Michael but this is 100% a no skip album. One of his and their most underrated pieces! I was disappointed that in the movie (or any conversation)there is no mention of it. This was such a strong time for Michael coming off of Off The Wall pouring his creative young mind into this album totally got him ready for Thriller. He displays so much range in his performance it’s just so amazing. What are some of your favorite songs? Mine has always changed. But it’s usually “Give It Up”. If you have not listened to this album thank me later.

J5 - Anyone thinks this song from Jermaine makes you laugh?

Maybe it’s the background vocals that gets the attention.

Had the honor of meeting Jackie and Marlon last night after their incredible concert😊

It was a quick meet and greet but they were so kind to me :) I told Jackie happy belated birthday and he thanked me and shook my hand, and then I shook Marlon’s hand as well. I still can’t believe I met them, they put on an amazing show as well!!!
