This had to be my favorite album!I really fell in love with Michael's voice at the tender age of 12(now I'm 16).The first song on the album "Got to be there" had to be my favorite,favorite song then.It made me feel magic,it had me mesmorized.I would just have this feeling come over me every time I would listen to it,like you wouldn't believe.The other songs I liked were "Ben","With a child's heart","I wanna be where you are","We're almost there" and "Music and me".I remember listening to that cassette alot when I was younger.I really enjoyed it.It brings back so many memories for me.If you want to listen to some nice (young) Michael Jackson songs (along with his brothers),get this album.It's nice!

This is a collection of songs from Michael Jackson's solo work for Motown. The early hits like "Got To Be There", the brilliant "I Wanna Be Where You Are", "Rocking Robin" and his first solo number one "Ben" are variations of his work with The Jackson Five. They were produced by The Corporation and they are tremendous singles. Some of the later work like "Happy", "Just A Little Bit Of You" and "One Day In Your Life" are not up to high standards of the early work, but are still quite good. If you want to get an idea of what a young Michael Jackson sounded like, then this is a great place to start.

I really love this album and I'm sure everyone who listens to this will like it too. His voice is so clear and pure. I love all the songs in this album, especially Ben, With a Child's heart, Happy, One Day in Your Life, Music and Me, Morning Glow He really can sing any high notes and I think, nobody at his age can sing that good. When I hear Music and Me, it made me cry. It's really worth it! GBU Michael Jackson

If you are a fan of old school Michael Jackson, this album is a MUST have. I am not kidding you. I own every single Michael album (including quite a bit of J5 comps) and this collection is my favorite. His voice will melt you. It is a superb mix of the innocence that caused us to fall in love with him and the beats that you can't help but dance to. I would have to say that a large majority of the album is slower, emotional music, so if that is your liking, this is for you. If you prefer the musical stylings of his "Thriller" and "Bad" albums, HIStory would probably be a better choice. Quite a bit of this music is featured on his Moonwalker documentary video, which is where I first heard a lot of the songs and absolutly had to have them! A couple of songs are works with the Jackson Five, but most are Michael solo. Also features my ABSOLUTE Michael favorite - Music and Me.

This is a good collection of Mike's early work, though it can not compare to his later success. Neat to hear the changes in his voice from the first track to the two 1975 tracks. A personal favorite on here is MORNING GLOW, a sweet sad song (nowhere near as much as BEN is). Even if you're not a hardcore fan of Mike, this is a good enough collection to taste some of his solo Motown work.

Michael Jackson is the best entartainer ever. Everything he does is gold. I do hope one day people who now think wrong about him will change their opinion. He deserves more than the title "King of Pop", 'cause throughout the years he managed to give a new sens to what music means. I ask people who share my opinion about this great artist to mail me at: victor_p@starnets.ro

This album reveals Michaels purity and natural tallent at his young age. He has always been very proffessional and any album that he has made is the best of his work. He makes it that, he makes sure its the best of his and his bands ability. Hes the best

This Motown Compact Classics release is Michael Jackson at his vocal best, early in his career when all of that pent up emotion poured forth in the lyrics of his songs, rather than the dance videos that accompanied them. From the beautiful Got to Be There and With a Child's Heart to the lively and very successful cover of Rockin' Robin, this collection will have you singing along almost immediately.

One caveat: Anyone who has ever had a pet rodent should approach the ballad "Ben" with caution. You'll be in tears before its halfway through.

Hearing Michael back in the day is worth every cent.his voice is very Soulful and on-point.Got to be there is timeless as is I wanna Be where you are,Ben,One day in your Life,with a child's heart etc..Michael Jackson is one of the Greatest Artists the WOrld has ever Known or seen.he has been on top of his Game for 3 decades.there will never be another Michael Jackson.The King Of Pop is truly a one of a kind Talent.His Genius&Legacy is TImeless.
