Summary: Can It Get Any Better??
Comment: The Jackson 5 will always remain my favorite artists of all time. This album contains all of the hits from Motown. There all here, "I Want You Back,ABC,The Love You Save,I'll Be There,and so many many more. I grew up listening to songs and still love them today. An when the group disbanded, I did not being a fan. I am also a huge fan of Michael & Janet as well. Two of the greatest concert givers of all time. I wish I would of been old enough at the time to see the Jackson 5 live. Hopefully, they will do a reunion album and tour one of these days. I know Michael will be releasing an album later this year, so I am awaiting that. The only flaw I have with this album, is that it does not include the 1971 #1 hit "Ben". As for that, this is a perfect collection from the Jackson 5. I recommend this to you!

Summary: fine retrospective of The Jackson 5
Comment: The Ultimate Collection by The Jackson 5 really gives us a generous potion of the best from a great group. The Jackson 5 never sounded better; and their fans will love this retrospective!
"I Want You Back" starts off the album with a late `60s/early `70s rock flavor to it that is absolutely irresistible. The melody is quite catchy and little Michael Jackson sings his heart out. "ABC" continues in the same vein; and again Michael sings the main vocals while the rest back backup vocals, harmonizing and adding their own lyrics at just the right intervals. Moreover, listen for "The Love You Save;" this number was always one of my very favorites by The Jackson 5 and I think you'll like it, too.
"I'll Be There" switches gears completely to feature The Jackson 5 performing a soft and sweet love song that impresses me very much; and "Never Can Say Goodbye" is another beautiful ballad that proves just how special The Jackson 5 really were.
"Got To Be There" focuses on Michael who sings this beautifully; and the musical arrangement makes good use of the drums and percussion. Michael never misses a beat, either! "Rockin' Robin" again focuses on Michael and this tune has a great soft rockin' beat that I really like. Great guitar work on "Rockin' Robin," too!
"Get It Together" has that funky `70s sound and the group sounds as great doing this as they did when I first heard it; and "Dancing Machine" really shows The Jackson 5 batting this one straight out of the ballpark! Again, I am very impressed.
The album ends with a remix of "It's Your Thing;" this 1995 remix will appeal to fans of rap and hip hop; but you'll still hear Michael squarely in the spotlight.
Of course, time will never erase the memories of The Jackson 5---they were too big and successful for that. It's also wonderful to listen to a rather young Michael Jackson singing his heart out and leading their adoring audiences wherever he wanted them to go.

Summary: Who could argue ...???
Comment: Timeless pop and soul when Michael and family were more into the sound and less into weirding us out.Classics.Feed it your kids, if you can get the Ipods out of their ears.

It's hard to think of a more quintessential pre-disco-era supergroup, and this really is the ultimate collection of the Jackson 5's finest. From the super-sweet "I'll Be There" (which went on to become one of the most-covered songs in recent history) to the peppy pop of "I Want You Back," the period's essence is in every single high note. The Afros, the bell-bottoms, Michael pre-identity crisis, it's all there and so much more fun than anything any of the clan has done since. This is a great party album: classics like "ABC," "Never Can Say Goodbye," and "Rockin' Robin" sit alongside more jazz-influenced tracks like a cover of the Isleys' "It's Your Thing," and are guaranteed to keep all feet on the dance floor. --Rebecca Wallwork
