The Jackson 5 - I'll Be There (1970)

Today, Colonel Mikel Burroughs posted his daily quote topic, which (is/was) "Be There" Day... and to ride that quote phrase further, I remembered this next Music Interlude song by the Jackson 5 titled "I'll Be There"! This rendition was released in 1970 and has received 10,744,649 views since uploaded to YouTube on Dec. 30, 2017... The lead singer for the Jackson 5 was none other than a very young Michael Jackson...

I hope you all enjoy this flashback as well as the message this song conveys...

LYRICS:

"I'll Be There"

You and I must make a pact, we must bring salvation back
Where there is love, I'll be there

I'll reach out my hand to you, I'll have faith in all you do
Just call my name and I'll be there

And oh - I'll be there to comfort you
Build my world of dreams around you, I'm so glad that I found you
I'll be there with a love that's strong
I'll be your strength, I'll keep holding on - yes I will, yes I will

Let me fill your heart with joy and laughter
Togetherness, well that's all I'm after
Whenever you need me, I'll be there
I'll be there to protect you, with an unselfish love I respect you
Just call my name and I'll be there

And oh - I'll be there to comfort you
Build my world of dreams around you, I'm so glad that I found you
I'll be there with a love that's strong
I'll be your strength, I'll keep holding on - yes I will, yes I will

If you should ever find someone new, I know he'd better be good to you
'Cos if he doesn't, I'll be there

Don 't you know, baby, yeah yeah
I'll be there, I'll be there, just call my name, I'll be there

(Just look over your shoulders, honey - ooh)

I'll be there, I'll be there, whenever you need me, I'll be there

Don't you know, baby, yeah yeah

I'll be there, I'll be there, just call my name, I'll be there
