P School | Never Can Say Goodbye

|
Words could never be anymore true. Song was recently flipped for Rhymefest's Man in the Mirror mixtape.
Last post for today. We will continue tomorrow with solo Michael and his gradual rise to becoming the king.

P School | I Want You Back

|
Classic tune from their childhood days. Used in another kid acts debut single years later.

P School | Dancin' Machine

|
The group continued well into the 70s. Here they are on the Merv Griffin show. J Dilla flipped the groovy tune for Q-Tip's The Renaissance with "Move."

P School | I'll Be There

|
Epic song for group that stands the test of time. It reigned again in the 90s when a certain pop diva covered it for her MTV Unplugged concert.

'91 | You down with O.P.P.

|
Naughty by Nature's slamming single featuring the "ABC" sample. I think this live performance is on Arsenio.

LIVE | The Roots debut single on Jimmy Fallon

|
Working second shift I miss everything between 2:30-11, and by the time Jimmy comes on, I'm knocked. So here it is. Real music lives.

P School | ABC

|
The hits keep comin', and the Jackson's keep influencing.

P School | It's Great to Be Here

|
I didn't know it then, but this classic tune was the backdrop to one of my fave tracks from the ladies of 702.

P School | Got to be there

|

1958-2009 | Michael Jackson

|
A simple text message changed my entire night. Michael Jackson has died of cardiac arrest. I read in disbelief and utter astonishment. The man. The legend. The most influential artist of our time. The King of Pop. The greatest entertainer next to James Brown. The Bad, Dangerous Thriller, whose music was Invincible to the test of time. He moonwalked Off the Wall to the top of the charts and still maintains the best-selling album of all time. HIStory is one we all know and will never forget. This weekend will be dedicated to the little boy from Gary, Indiana who captivated the world with his art, and more importantly, his heart.
