Blues Away

 The A-side to The Jacksons Album comes to a halt with Michael Jackson's very first song authored by himself! It's not much. But a start to what would become the most famous celebrity on Earth!



- Jackson 5 Lyrics

Living Together

 From their Philadelphia Record Label comes "Living Together" off the album-The Jacksons. An easy-listening soft-tempo groove.



Lyrics | Living Together lyrics

Show You The Way To Go

 "Show You The Way To Go" is The Jacksons(eponymous album) second single. Their first #1 hit on the U.K. Charts. And no wonder. Michael's buoyantly infectious vocals and The funky riffs really says it all.

Strength of One Man

 A sound so common in the 70's. This mid-tempo Love Ballad can be found on The Jacksons LP-Their fist since leaving behind Motown.



- The Jacksons Lyrics

Dreamer

 Coming down as #9 on the album-The Jacksons, now this really is a quintessential solo of Michael Jackson! An easy-listening Ballad by the soon-to-be King of Pop!



- The Jacksons Lyrics

Style of Life

 The Jacksons Album comes to a close on a mediocre note with "Style of Life". Apparently, The Jacksons weren't getting their desired creative control. So eventually, Joseph took them to Epic Records(where Michael would remain the rest of his life).

Lyrics

Yeah, yeah, ye-ha, yeah
My love

(Verse 1)
Here I am reaching out for ya,
But there's nothing to reach for.
'Cause my mind don't believe what my eyes have seen,
The blames you gave.
You know (You know),
and I know nobody wants you with your, wishy-washy ways.
Your mama raised you from a child,
Spent no time worth while
And I feel, you really come to nothing no

(Chorus)
You've got to change, your style of life.
You've got to change, your style of life.

(Verse 2)
Ooh there you go, saying "I think I love ya,
But it's a matter of time."
I have told ya, and told ya how bad I wish to hold you,
My feelings have doubt in mind.
You know (You know), and I know, that you can do better,
Tomorrow's a brand new day.
I have tried to make you change, but you remain the same
And I feel, you really come to nothing, no.

(Chorus)
You've gotta change, your style of life
You've gotta change, your style of life

(Bridge)
You and me, baby
Haven't been together but so long.
Now you're acting like you own me,
Hey baby, that's so wrong.
You...hate to suffer for what you get.
My love don't come easy.
Why don't you change, baby please, please.

(Chorus)
You've gotta change, your style of life (u gotta change)
You've gotta change, your style of life (turn around)
You've gotta change, your style of life (mmmm)
You've gotta change, your style of life (mmmm)
You've gotta change, your style of life (mmmm)
You've gotta change, your style of life (mmmm)

Music's Takin' Over

 The opening sequel to The Jacksons CBS record-Goin' Places. There's a great rhythm to the sound. But towards conclusion, it get's a little stretched and a bit redundant. Maybe there's a radio edit to this? Otherwise, it's great to listen to Michael Jackson's crispy voice.
