Never Can Say Goodbye/ J 5 or Isaac Hayes

Which version do you like better?


I like both versions but its just something about the way Michael sings it. Its one of my favorite J5 songs. So I'll cast my vote for J5.

Prince believes he is a musical prophet that has been chosen by Jehova to guide his fans to the "truth".

Besides The Jacksons' original, I like THIS version:



dancing jig

Tupac "Makaveli" Shakur (RIP 1971-1996) & Michael Jackson (RIP 1958-2009)

2 men that had their lives taken away the moment they were speaking out AND rebelling against the dark side of the music industry once too often.

Black Moses always put his groovy spin on songs. Ike could take a 3 minute song and stretch it out to 15 mins and kill it smile I am partial to both versions

Don't forget Midnight Soulstice with DJ Pari and Mr. Felty http://wrir.org This Friday "Dancefloor Jazz"

Isaac Hayes by a LOOOONG shot.

Love is just like the faucet
It turns off and on
Sometimes when you think it's on baby
It has turned off and gone

Oh hell yes! Michael killed it with the vocals on that song at Motown 25. I wish he/J5 had recorded a proper studio version as an adult.
