Grateful For Music Challenge Day 14
Song(s): It's Your Thing, 2-4-6-8, Maybe Tomorrow & I Will Find A Way
I know I said I was just going to be "doubling" up on songs per post buuuuut....I think it's going to be more like quadrupling up! So many songs, so little time!!
I Will Find A Way
Artist: Jackson 5
Who wants a week dedicated to all things Michael and his brothers!? 🙋 I DO! Therefore, you do too. Since I'm the MASTER of this blog, mwuhahahaha!! 😈😉
I'll probably be doubling up every post all week long because there's just so many great songs to share! And I discovered most, if not all of these songs this year!
It's Your Thing
Little Mike KILLS it on this funky track!! 🤩 He has so much SOUL for such a little guy it's crazy!! This was a song Michael sang very early on in his Jackson 5 career. After people heard him belt his little heart out to this Isley Brothers cover, they must have known he was destined for greatness!
It's your thing (It's your thing)
Do what you wanna do
I can't tell you
Who to sock it to
It's your thing (It's your thing)
Do what you wanna do
I can't tell you
Who to sock it to
And if you want me to love you, maybe I will
I need you woman, it ain't no big deal
You need lovin' just as bad as I do, now
Make's me no difference now, who you give your thing to
It's your thing (It's your thing)
Do what you wanna do
I can't tell you
Who to sock it to
It's your thing, girl (It's your thing)
Do what you wanna do
Don't let me tell ya
Who to sock it to
So, it's your thing (It's your thing)
Do what you wanna do
I can't tell you
Who to sock it to
Hit me band
So, it's your thing girl (It's your thing)
Do what you wanna do
No doubt about it
Who I'm gonna sock it to
From a LIVE performance for Miss Black America, 8-22-69 🤯
They weren't even discovered yet! He is performing with the charisma and talent of someone THREE X's HIS AGE!! KING! 🙇
The quality is awful but you still get to witness the raw talent that little boy had inside of him from so early on! 😍
I FINALLY FOUND THIS ON YOUTUBE!!! 😍🙌
This INCREDIBLE mash up of Hanson's Look At You/It's Your Thing from one of their 2020 streaming concerts is the greatest thing EVER! Taylor is singing with EVERYTHING HE GOT!! This performance was a stand out and it's incredible how naturally Look At You flowed into this song. I know the video is long but I highly recommend you watch the whole thing in it's entirety. If you really want to just skip to It's Your Thing, you can find it at minute mark 3:40 🙄 Even though you totally miss the awesomeness of the transition.
2-4-6-8
The song itself is so cheesy but so catchy! I love it! "I may be a little fella but my hearts as big as Texas
I have all the love a man can give and maybe a little bit extra!" 😂😂 HE'S SO FREAKING CUTE!! 😍 It's probably just me since I'm such a mega-fan, but I hear a lot of baby Taylor Hanson in Michaels voice on this track, especially the first verse! Hanson have mentioned numerous times how Michael and the Jackson 5 were big influences on them, especially when they were first getting started, so I'm not surprised Taylor, who is the most soulful and passionate brother, was doing his best to imitate young MJ early on!
2-4-6-8, who do you appreciate
Please say that boy it's me
2,4,6,8, who do you appreciate
I'm the one who wants to be your baby
2-4-6-8, who do you appreciate
Get up early to see you in the morning but you just past me by
If I were Jack Horner sitting in the corner with you I share my pie
I past your homeroom wishing you were my own room
Every time I looked inside
I sit here hoping someday you'll notice the look here in my eyes
2-4-6-8, who do you appreciate
Please be my pride and joy
2-4-6-8, who do you appreciate
I wanna be your lover boy
I may be a little fella but my hearts as big as Texas
I have all the love a man can give and maybe a little bit extra
Ooh be my girl
The best time of day for me is at recess
That's when you talked to me
I think I'm the boy you like the best
I want more than a friend to be
He wanna be your fella just trying to tell ya but you pay him no mind
He's no price charmer still he keeps trying girl you're so unkind
I can love you really really love you, I can tell at just a glance
I can please you really really please you girl give me half a chance
2-4-6-8, who do you appreciate

Maybe Tomorrow
It's ridiculously cheesy but Michael gets so passionate (especially near the end) I can't help but appreciate and love it!
I don't know how many stars there are
Up in the heavenly sky
I only know my heaven it's here on earth
Each time you look into my eyes
The way you do, baby
Thank you, thank you, baby
My beautiful bird, you have flown away
I held you too tight, I can see
You're all I need to get by
No one else could make me cry
The way you do, baby
You are the book that I read each day
You are the song that I sing
Gonna sing it to you
You are the four seasons of my life
But maybe tomorrow
You'll change your mind, girl
Maybe tomorrow
You'll come back to my arms, girl
(Maybe she will)
You're all I need to get by
No one else could make me cry
The way you do, baby
Come on
You are the book that I read each day
You are the song that I sing
Gonna sing it to you
You are the four seasons of my life
But maybe tomorrow
You'll change your mind, girl
Maybe tomorrow
You'll come back to my arms, girl
You are the book that I read each day
Sing it, sing it
You are the song that I sing
Sing it, sing it, sing it
You are the four seasons of my life
But maybe tomorrow
You'll change your mind, girl
Maybe tomorrow
You'll come back to my arms, girl
You are the book that I read each day, yeah
You are the song that I sing
Gonna sing it to you
You are the four seasons of my life
But maybe tomorrow
You'll change your mind, girl
Maybe tomorrow
You'll come back to my arms, girl
Oh, baby, I need you
Listen to me, girl
You are the song that I sing
You are the four seasons of my life
But maybe tomorrow
You'll change your mind, girl
Maybe tomorrow
Jermaine on lead vocals! Obviously, I'm always going to love Michael most but let's give credit where credit is due. ALL the brothers contributed to this super-star group and had the talent to do so! This tune is so funky and catchy to me, again, despite the cheesiness, I I love it!
One little kiss
Led to another and another and another
Then, ooh, I wanted you
And I feel those good vibrations
Deep inside my soul
Telling me that you're my goal.
But if I'm stepping out of line
If my words don't seem to rhyme
It's because I'm falling head over heels in love with you
Darling, please don't turn away
Open your heart and let me stay
And I will find a way.
Oh, trying to get to you
Is like trying to get a little cat down from the top of a tree
You're scared of me
But believe my ladder to love
Is strong and it will never break
Your little heart will be safe.
But if I'm stepping out of line
If my words don't seem to rhyme
It's because I'm falling head over heels in love with you
Darling, please don't be afraid
Open your heart and let me stay
And I will find a way.
But if I'm stepping out of line
If my words don't seem to rhyme
It's because I'm falling head over heels in love with you
Darling, please don't be afraid
Open your heart and let me stay
And I will find a way.
But if I'm stepping out of line
If my words don't seem to rhyme
It's because I'm falling head over heels in love with you
Darling, please don't be afraid
Open your heart and let me stay
And I will find a way into your heart, girl.
[Repeat and fade]
