@GalaxyNexus1 Limited whatever. I like what I like, your criticism means nothing to me. It's music, not rocket science. So go on with your fancy words.
i grew up hearing the Troop version on the radio. as a lifelong MJ fan, i never knew the Jackson 5 did this song first. when i bought the Jackson 5's Moving Violation album, i saw the title of this song in the track listing, but i never thought it was the same song. i was stunned. i had a "really?!!" smirk on my face as i sat listening in disbelief at what i was hearing. Michael Jackson and the brothers did this song first. wow. and here i thought i heard everything. . .
This song was the Jackson 5's last charted single before they left Motown. If you look closely, you'll notice Jermaine is not performing with them during this Soul Train performance. Jermaine was the only member who decided to stay with Motown. With this move, Randy officially replaced Jermaine. Michael Lovesmith (who sang background vocals for Luther on his 1990 "Any Love" album) co-wrote this song with Brian Holland of the legendary songwriting trio Holland-Dozier-Holland. Michael Lovesmith also produced this song. Multi-instrumentalist Chuckii Booker produced Troop's cover version. Their version reached #1 on R&B singles like damonfisher commented, and it peaked at #47 on the Billboard Hot 100. What a way to pay homage to probably the most talented young boy band ever. Troop sang this with so much heart & soul. Thanks, Jack, for paying homage to this original & cover in one reaction.
I found out very recently that the Jackson 5 was the originators of this classic. I've only known Throop's version. Such a beautiful classic. Thank you, CRobb. Dope request!❤
Thanks for the history of this song. I was a little kid when it was released and actually got a free copy of it because I had a temper tantrum because my mom didn't buy the record for me that day. lol The manager felt bad and gave me the single for free. I remember watching them actually perform this song too. Troop did a great cover of this as well, but the original has special childhood memories for me.
I used to love this song growing up but once I heard Troops version I could never hear the old version the same way. Troop took the song to another level.
I think the Troop cover was so good for 2 reasons: 1. They didn't deviate to much from the original version. They really stayed in that pocket. 2. The track itself was at least a decade ahead of its time. It was made for 1990 when Troop did it. But that Michael...he will give you a sweet R&B ballad.
I loved that younger people thought that Troops version was a cover , but was not surprised that it was Micheal and The Jacksons . I was in high school when the Jacksons original was released .Old schoolers like me couldn’t hear Troops version without thinking of The Jacksons, but I liked it…
Chuckii Booker produced the Troop version (and played ALL the instruments), so it's worth checking out his stuff as well. Fun fact: He was the opening act (and musical director) for Janet Jackson's first tour 😊.
WOW, thanks for doing this, Jack.🌟 I think I anticipated this one the most of all. I really appreciate it. Such a special reaction when any member of the Jackson Family sings/performs, as fans, we are so honored. I really like both songs. Troop really did their thing on this cover, but you just can't deny Michael's vocals on the original & just acknowledging each & everyone of them should be done more, like you said these young boys were doing it all: singing, dancing, playing instruments - just legendarily talented.
@@gabrielmcdonnell8699You're welcome. I was waiting on this reaction, probably more than any other song request I made. Got more Troop songs I plan on requesting. Thanks for the shout-out.
Mike just killin it bit so fid troop with the love from the jacksons permission. One of my all times from both. Goosebumps. That "Jacksons" era, soooo underrated
Great reaction. Both songs are dope. I first heard Troops version back in 89 when it came out not knowing it was a cover then shortly after Heard J5's version. Both are dope in their own right. You can tell and Troop has said this before they were influenced by MJ and you can hear it in the vocals. Also shouts out to Chuckii Booker on production on Troops Version. Chuckii doesn't nearly get the props he deserves as a songwriter, arranger and producer.
I always say The Jackson 5 version is when you're slow dancing with a girl at a house party and the Troop version is when you have a crush on a girl and trying to GTD
The Jacksons have a song called "torture" written and produced by Jackie Jackson and trust me you would love the video. It's amazing and so is the song like once you hear it it's going to become a regular thing you listen to
Still one of my favs, huge Jackson 5 fan always loved their version and but Troops version came out when I was in high school when I had my first true crush boyfriend so I always feel all lovey doves inside when I hear it😂I literally rewounded this cassette to this song😂❤
I’m not gonna lie, I am a die hard MJ fan all day errrrrrrday, but I actually favor Troop’s version better than the Jackson 5… Best cover ever done!!! 🙌🏼
The song was originally issued as a B-side to the Jackson 5's disco version of the Supremes' "Forever Came Today" in June 1975. That month, the group announced that they would leave Motown for Epic Records, however, they still remained under contract to Motown until March 1976.[2] Jermaine Jackson, the song's second co-lead vocalist, left the group and remained with Motown, with Randy Jackson officially replacing him. (Credit: Wikipedia) That is why, even though you see "5 brothers" on stage - that is not the original "Jackson 5" (it is minus Jermaine... but plus Randy on bongos). However, you can still hear Jermaine's contributing vocals on the track in this Soul Train performance.
If you want to make some women of a certain age fall out in remembered teenaged infatuation, play the very beginning of the TROOP version from the Cd. The intro is highly recognizable and acts as a time machine.
Grew up on Troop’s version without knowing the original until my parents put me on. Michael & Jermaine’s vocals are classic and undeniable. But Troop took it to another level. Who remembers the B5 version 😐
A little footnote about this J5 performance. Jermaine wasn’t in this performance but young Randy was. This same 5 would later be known as The Jackson’s
if you want to hear the Jackson play their instruments listen to the Jackson 5's Hum Along and Dance. It highlights solos from Jermaine Jackson on Bass and Tito Jackson on Electric Guitar.
Thanks Jack Reacts for giving the Jackson 5/Jackson's their flowers! I've seen them with Michael (Victory Tour) and after he passed and they are very talented. Jermaine and Tito don't get enough credit for their instrument playing.
I'm so glad to hear a reactor giving the entire Jackson 5 their flowers. They were all so very talented Tito,Jackie, Marlon,and Jermaine were giants in their own rights. When I was 11 The Jackson 5was the first concert I would ever see. Funny Note: Jackie broke my 11 year old heart when found out he was married.I was supposed to be Mrs Jackie Jackson. ..in my mind anyway lol
I prefer Troop’s version bc it’s 🔥 and I heard it first. I was born in ‘71 and growing up, my pops played The J5 at times (even in the 80’s) but never their original of this song. This was a cool format; hope the comparisons are revisited on occasion.
🤯Hold up! This was a remake? I thought Troop"s version was an original recording. Wow! I'm gotta be biased and vote for Troop, since their version is the one I grew up with. Mom was a huge fan of Troop, so she played the heck out of that song.
Young Bro! So glad you’re reviewing this song! It’s one of my top 5 J5 favs! Michael sings his azz off on this one! Fun fact that I don’t think you caught… The vocal besides, Michael’s was Jermaine, who had just left the group. That’s when they brought Randy in to take his place. You continue to surprise me with how astute you are about this music for someone, so young… And I agree with you about the J5 being underrated as a group… and not just back up for Michael. Your listeners might disagree with me, but the J5 version of this song is the best of the two! Keep up the good work, young bro… I’ll be watching! ❤️🙏🏽
Lmao the bad thing about so Soul train sometimes is the lip synching, Jermaine was the other voice singing but he wasn't there so u just hear him throughout the track lol. Should definitely react to some Jermaine stuff, he had plenty of big hits of his own.
This came up on a tik tok this song and I forgot that the Jackson 5 did it 1st don't give me wrong I love the Jackson 5But troop did their thing on the song
Unpopular opinion. I think the Jackson 5 version better, captures the heart and soul better. People confuse the modern instrumentation as better. You can see even Troop studied MJ's vocal stylings and phrasing.
What about their version do you like more? I grew up in the early 90s and it seems like ppl are more familiar with the Troop version, it might be more nostalgic, so they prefer it. To me, they did too many runs and just too much in general. You prefer that part?
🚨Do you have a favorite song/video? Send it through this link and I'll react to it! 🎵: streamlabs.com/jackreacts904/tip
One of the best covers ever made. That's why Troops version went #1 R&B. Troop is criminally underrated. Those brothers sang.
My absolute favorite cover of this song
I agree with you 100%I agree with you 100%
Your music literacy sounds limited.

Same here. I never knew
I'm 54 and i never know this either I just heard troop version north philly
Same here
Michael Jackson was pure magic on stage. I miss him so much RIP.
I love both versions! Beautiful lyrics!🔥 Troop's cover has a different energy. I love their voices & delivery. They covered it perfectly! 🔥👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
I recently found out Jackson 5 made the original. I love Troop’s version.
This song was the Jackson 5's last charted single before they left Motown.

The whole Jackson 5 has never been underrated by me. I've always seen them as a whole group and excellent. They all stood out.
Thank you CRobb for the requests!!!

Absolutely FACTS re: Chuckii Booker. Dude was a beast.
Michael was a cutie!❤❤❤
Yaasss
YES HE WAS 🤗
I always say The Jackson 5 version is when you're slow dancing with a girl at a house party and the Troop version is when you have a crush on a girl and trying to GTD
GTD? If a man plays Troop's version for a woman who's interested, then he'll get more than the digits. He'll get those draws, too!
Both versions are stunning💖
TRULY BOTH HAVE A PLACE IN MY HEART🤗
The Jacksons have a song called "torture" written and produced by Jackie Jackson and trust me you would love the video. It's amazing and so is the song like once you hear it it's going to become a regular thing you listen to
TROOP is criminally underrated.
OMG! I’ve loved this song by Troop forever. Had no idea the Jackson’s did it originally. Love your channel Jack. Full of surprises. 🔥
Still one of my favs, huge Jackson 5 fan always loved their version and but Troops version came out when I was in high school when I had my first true crush boyfriend so I always feel all lovey doves inside when I hear it😂I literally rewounded this cassette to this song😂❤
I love love MJ but Troop’s version will always be my favorite 😂🩷 A group named B5 also did a version in like 2004. Good times.
I love both versions. But the J5 version gives me goosebumps & I picture myself in the song.
yes!!
One of my favorite remakes EVER. Troop did a fantastic job with this one.
B5 did this song too for the 2000s version which is what I grew up on and they did good on it
I’m not gonna lie, I am a die hard MJ fan all day errrrrrrday, but I actually favor Troop’s version better than the Jackson 5… Best cover ever done!!! 🙌🏼

I grew up with the Troop version. I like their arrangement bit better. Did a BUNCH of slow grinding to this song at dances. 😂

TROOP all day and night!
Grew up on Troop’s version without knowing the original until my parents put me on. Michael & Jermaine’s vocals are classic and undeniable. But Troop took it to another level. Who remembers the B5 version 😐
Freshman year of high school... was in love with La Sandra S..... great memories. Hope you are well wherever you are.
Love Jackson 5 version but troops version has a special place in my heart ❤️ 💙 😢
This song is straight fire to this day. I’ve got to go download this. Thank you again CRobb!
You're welcome. 🙏

One of the greatest covers of all time. 🎉

Check out the version by B5. Also, the beginning of Doja Cat’s “Agora Hills” samples this song.
Troop 💞💞💞💞💞💞💞💞💞
Troop did a great job. The Jacksons original is the best 💯
I'm embarrassed to say that I had no idea it was originally a Jackson 5 song. 😳
I didn’t find out until some time in the 2000’s on Pandora. ☺️
Pasadena CA ! I went to school with 3 of them in middle school , and one in high school . RIP Reggie
Another great reaction when I first heard this song it was Troop version a favorite
I didn't know they did this song first, good information
🤯Hold up! This was a remake? I thought Troop"s version was an original recording. Wow! I'm gotta be biased and vote for Troop, since their version is the one I grew up with. Mom was a huge fan of Troop, so she played the heck out of that song.
I thought the same. J5 did this first? Wow
I grew up on both but Troops version was better
Yes
I did not know the Jackson 5 song that song!
Classic song…it will always be covered
Troop-Spread My Wings
Ultimate classics! Troop did their thing. I wish Mint Condition did a cover…nonetheless both hits! Now we need a 2023 Drill version.
Man I miss King MJ 😭😭😭
I love both because MJ and Allen are always gonna do it for me.
Thank U My Brotha So So Much I Really Appreciate U...One Love Fam.
Its Ok to like or love Both the major difference is just the 70s & then late 80s production !!!
The Troop version was my jam in Jr. High
Young Bro!
So glad you’re reviewing this song!
It’s one of my top 5 J5 favs!
Michael sings his azz off on this one!
Fun fact that I don’t think you caught… The vocal besides, Michael’s was Jermaine, who had just left the group. That’s when they brought Randy in to take his place.
You continue to surprise me with how astute you are about this music for someone, so young… And I agree with you about the J5 being underrated as a group… and not just back up for Michael.

Salute to the original, but troop made it an R&B anthem 💯
Troop also did. Before that guy you named and Drake's weak self
Troop did the best version but we love J5 as well
The troop version is a 80s song
Don’t forget B5’s version🫡
Nah.
Unpopular opinion. I think the Jackson 5 version better, captures the heart and soul better. People confuse the modern instrumentation as better. You can see even Troop studied MJ's vocal stylings and phrasing.
I like this version better as well Michael killed it troop was good too.
They weren’t lip syncing!!
Sweetie..yes they were 🤔🎙️
You gotta react to I will always love you by troop
Although I like the Troop version a little better, respect for recognizing the original and the genius of J Dilla.
React to The Jacksons-“2300 Jackson street”.
Os dois sao bom mais prefiro com os. Jackson
As much as I love the Jacksons, Troop's version is better to me.
Please react to the JACKSONS
Walk right Now
With lyrics ❤😮
Troops version is better to me. Maybe because i heard it first back in the day and didn't hear the original until years later.
i think all covers by Troop are better than the originals.
Hey Jack, I’d like to request you react to B5’s 2004 remake of this same song to hear your thoughts on all 3 renditions.
B5 covered this too
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
You should have added the b5 one
I got one for you - The Jones Girls who can I run to and Xscape version as well listen to them both
Bro! I need u to stop posting so I can go to bed🤣🤣🤣
Lol, yeah I ended up watching Jacks reactions till 1am, now finishing watching them on Monday morning.
Doja Cat samples Troop's version on Agora Hills..
I love Michael Jackson but B5 sing this song the best
React to stuck on you by Lionel ritche and stuck on you by 3t
I’m say this The Jackson 5 verse is better, Mike song from the heart. He pour his heart out for that one he was singing about ( Dianna Ross) 😮.
Please do react on my cover of Michael Jacksons Best of joy thank you so much
Do the B5 Version!
No offense but The Jacksons was my favorite over the cover by troop but troops version is still good
What about B5 version?
Please leave the B5 version in 2005
What about the b5 cover of this song all I do
PLEASE REACT TO BOOM BY ANJULIE
As a 90’s baby, the Troop version was better
i like troop version better
B5 also covered this song when they were children. It's arguably better. You should watch the video.
Hey there what about Z-RO song call I’m so Houston 🎶 and it’s a guy from Houston his name is Krino song call Houston is🎵
J5 version can’t be beat. Sorry.
I've always liked Troop's version better
Me too
What about their version do you like more? I grew up in the early 90s and it seems like ppl are more familiar with the Troop version, it might be more nostalgic, so they prefer it. To me, they did too many runs and just too much in general. You prefer that part?
