Editorial Reviews

Chock full of hits and nicely assembled, this two-CD collection focuses on Michael before he left the Motown cocoon, hooked up with Quincy Jones, and changed the sound of black pop with Off the Wall. Does the relatively safe vibe and the less-than-groundbreaking nature of the music make these songs any less enjoyable or memorable? No way--especially for boomers who grew up with MJ. All the hits are here, from the chirpy smash "Rockin' Robin" to the yearning "Got to Be There" (check those high notes!) and a handful of J5 tracks (chief among them the impassioned "I'll Be There"). For fans of R&B and for Michael-maniacs, this is a must. --Amy Linden

5 out of 5 stars Memories of a young Michael Jackson.......2007-01-17

This is a superb CD with many selections of Michael Jackson during his preteen years and younger. The mellow of his voice as he carries each song is extraordinary. I would recommend this to all of his fans.

5 out of 5 stars " Great compilation from a young Michael Jackson".......2006-10-01

I believe that a lot of Michael Jackson's earlier albums have really been overlooked. This compilation should still be availabe. Mike as a kid can sing better than 99 pecent of the artist out right now - which is a shame. I don't know why most people don't give him credit for a lot of his work as a child and teenager. I think Motown need to stop playing and reissue the indiviual albums because they really are great.

5 out of 5 stars I love Him always will Period........2006-01-21

No one on Earth or any other planet can make me change the way i feel about this amazing super star Michael Jackson.I will continue to buy all his cds until the world ends.Iam absoluety proud to have this cd as part of my prestigious collection.Extremely highly recommended to all the wonderful fans who share my admiration of this living Legend.

5 out of 5 stars Jammin'.......2004-06-04

Michael was an incredible child prodigy. These 2 CDs I think summs up the reason why the Jackson 5 were so extremely popular and gives the basis for why he himself became the megastar that he became. I was really taken aback while listening to these songs and just couldn't believe someone so young had that amazing ability. I could have cried when I thought about what he has become and then thought about the reason, this wonderful music and all the hard work he had to do at such a very young age. But moving on, some of my favorites are mostly on the 2nd Cd, Music and Me, One Day in Your Life, Happy, Call on Me and many more. The Jackson 5 classics are I'll Be there, Never can say goodbye and an unknown J5 song, Too Late to change the Time (which is wonderful). This compilation is a must for MJ fans and for anyone that wants to hear some great soul music from Motown.

4 out of 5 stars Heaven Sent.......2004-04-10

I have been a fan of Michael's ever since he began. These songs bring back such good memories. However, I think the J5 songs could have been left out, and replaced with other Michael songs. Either from albums or previously unreleased stuff. Small complaint though. "Love is Here and Now You're Gone" has always been one of my fave songs, I think Mike's version outdoes the Supremes. "We've Got A Good Thing Going" also is a highlight. It suprises me that I still love and want to listen to these songs. The songs taken from the "Forever Michael" album also are great. I would love to see that album on cd with unreleased cuts. I know there has to be some of those lying aroung Motown vaults. Funny how, if I never hear "Billie Jean" again, it's ok with me. But these songs, are the songs of my childhood and preteen years and sound as fresh today as 30 years ago.
