Easy choice for me...
...JB all the way You dropped out of school before you got it down You h'year me? You dropped out of school before you got it down Now you ain't hip, you're the biggest fool in town Aaaaaw Get It Together Get It Together Get It Together Get It Together Aaaaaaw, Maceo Uh, blow now Ha, do the underdog Get on the log Do the underdog Uh, get on the log Git it, git it, shotgun Sock it, to 'em ha Classic. The J5 tune, although nice, sounds like Kiddie-Pop in comparison. tA  Tribal Disorder

I prefer the Jackson 5's version. "And When The Groove Is Dead And Gone, You Know That Love Survives, So We Can Rock Forever" RIP MJ 
"Baby, that was much too fast"...Goodnight dear sweet Prince. I'll love you always | |

This is a hard choice for me. I've liked the J5 version since way back in the mid 90's when I discovered it. I always loved the instrumentation and everything about it.
Then, I discovered the JB track earlier this decade, it blew me away. It sounds so raw, rawer then his other funk tunes around that time (Cold Sweat, I Got the Feeling, Licking Stick, Mother Popccorn). Those horns and guitar riffs are just ... PRINCE: Always and Forever

Definitely the J5 version. It is, and always has been, my favorite cut by them.
 
It's JB meets the Temptations. MJ's vocals are very Ruffinesque on that cut. I'm sick and tired of the Prince fans being sick and tired of the Prince fans that are sick and tired! | |
