Television Appearance J5 / Motown

The Jackson 5 appear on Diana Ross's first solo TV special. They perform "The Love You Save" and Michael also appears in comedy sketches with a tongue-in-cheek Sinatra impersonation singing "It Was a Very Good Year".

Songs: The Love You Save
People: Michael Jackson Jackie Jackson Tito Jackson Jermaine Jackson Marlon Jackson Diana Ross

The Jackson 5 reunite on television with Diana Ross for her first solo TV special. They perform “The Love You Save”, and Michael takes a comic turn impersonating Frank Sinatra to “It Was a Very Good Year” — an early hint of the older-than-his-years stage persona he would carry through the next decade.
