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".

I've liked every version that I've heard, but the original is still the best. It's my favorite J5 song. music

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

The most supreme version of course is by The Communards / Jummy Summerville

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.
