Does anybody know or could make a close estimate on a percentage scale how much of the J5's material are covers and how much are originals? Including Michaels solo motown work? I've always wondered this. It seems like most of it was covers. | |

Most of their early year material were covers. Hell, on their debut album, only 2 were originals (3 if you count "You've Changed" which is a remake of themselves.)

Looking at the unreleased material that's still in the vaults, Motown could easily release a "The Jackson 5 Sings The Motown Classics" boxset or seperate

They did so many great covers. "Stand!", "Ready or Not", the list goes on, but I think my favourite has to be "Ain't Nothing Like The Real Thing". It may not be as well known as the original, but I think it's by far the best version. It's musical perfection in my eyes/ears. |

Stand! Who's Loving You (I always get a chuckle out of Jackie wearing what looks to be a Brownie uniform) I Bet You [Edited 8/27/08 4:10am] I agree...these are my faves as well. SynthiaRose said "I'm in love with blackguitaristz. Especially when he talks about Hendrix."
