Ooooh, girl, then you didn't get to live the excitement of seeing this in 1972 for the first time, and picking which fine Jackson brother was just "right" for you! Of course, we did it by age, and I was supposed to like Tito, since he was exactly my age, but I was secretly into Jackie (that older man thing began early for me!).Those were to days, when you watched your family's one TV, to see what the styles were, and then went out and tried to copy them...oh, those "cool" neck scarves and paisley shirts...see what you missed?!
This just breaks my heart. Joe Jackson messed up those kids. Only Tito seems to be okay.
One day when I was around 6 or so my dad came home from work and asked my mom what was wrong. I was sitting in front of the TV crying because I loved the Jackson 5, esp. Michael, so much.
I was supposed to marry Michael and now I can't even look at him. :(

This is one of my favorites from the Jackson Five. Lots of good memories came flooding back watching this. Thanks!
