At about 1:20, the way Ali looks at Michael and says "my man", and smiles is a beautiful moment. Ali and Michael and J5 fans, check it out, I'm telling you it's priceless.

i love, love love how ali protected michael when the interviewer tried to drag him into ali's affairs

Mohammad Ali the greatest all time .Michael Jackson the greatest all time

his arm was around his waist like that because back then people didn't have such dirty thoughts, not everything was gay. A mans arms around the waist of another mans arms is just an arm around the waist

Michael was personally mentored by all the greats, both black and white.. And he put all he learned to good use. He really was special.

The best boxer with the best entertainer

Michael is listening so intently..

Muhammad Ali protected Michael and redirected the interviewer’s question to the the Jackson’s advisers, managers and poppa Joe. Love this man and his mission. RIP Ali, Michael and Mr. Jackson.

Thats Michael Jackson...Just to touch him is an honor..Thats Muhammad Ali..

This is so legendary.MJ and Ali !!! Two greatest ever.

Wow! Michael Jackson and Muhammad Ali in the same room! How is it the world didn't implode from the awesomeness of this!!!!!!

He may sound crazy but he's telling the truth.

OMG look at Ali and MJ...Ali really responds to him with genuine affection...Everyone who REALLY knew MJ were instantly drawn to him, and said he was very warm and loving, and even if they had just met him it felt like he was a long lost friend...How could you debate that he was so sweet :D

I feel like knocking out the interviewer because he keeps interrupting when Muhammad Ali is talking.

The Jacksons were so quiet and respecful♥️

I love how Muhammad Ali keeps interrupting the interviewer 😂😂😂.And his voice is hilarious

SO MUCH RESPECT FOR ALI, God bless him

Ali is so protective of Micheal. I love that. The greatest stands up for the greatest.

I loved when Ali said to Michael, "My man."

"...I'm tha boss, I'll go upside yo head.." 😆😆...Ali was a funny man!

I can't help but crack up. This interview is funny. But can I say All Legends in the building!!!

My hero pop king and boxing RIP.

4:24 "They ain't gon have hits all their life" well MJ actually did lmao

Mohammed Ali: "...one of them's here! come here man, come here!" Interviewer: "They'll come out a little later." Mohammed Ali: "NO, they're coming out now! I'M the boss ... come here, sit down here and show how pretty you is." Lol, hilarious. Love it.

Mohamed Ali is so handsome and well-spoken, but that Michael Jackson man he is so beautiful and gentle. I love this footage, nothing but gold and legends.

the interviewer is such a buzzkill. But I loved seeing Ali and Michael with his brothers

Muhammad Ali was pychic, because 8 years after that interview, Michael Jackson, Lionel Richie and others united to make We Are The World and help underprivileged across the globe, as Muhammad Ali foretold

My goodness Michael was so gotdamn appealing...women and even MEN couldnt keep their hands off him...Ali NEVER did let Michael go! My God he was like a huge ass magnet....him and Ali were pretty as hell!

you could see how the jackson 5 looked up to Ali like a big brother, this is so beautifull. ali always trying to help disadvantage people. i wonder have this dream of ali ever been meterialised?

anybody who has no respect for this man is just flat out IGNORANT! he's tellin the TRUTH! He was a very outspoken man and if he see somethin he don't like he will tell u! He defended our african american race! He's a true black hero! There are very few that are like this man.

it's cute how he is holding on to Michael like he is a little kid while he is 18/19 years old.

Rest in peace Champ

Look how excited and happy he is to see them! Pure love! This man was in love with black people! Beautiful!!!!!

So good to se Ali holding Michael Jackson like his son.

2 of the greatest of all men! #ALI #JACKSON #GOAT RIP 🙏 GENTLEMEN!

Man, I love the champ. I shook his hand when I was a kid. Will never forget that.

Muhammad Ali, he was so passionate about making a change. Looking up to someone like that it's no wonder Micheal Jackson is the greatest. These guys are so inspiring

Ali and the J5 showed each other mutual respect and true love. So beautiful to see.

This was a very big interview, letting people know that great minds think alike, " Helping to make the world a better place for the entire human race." Love it.

0:36 ALI : _"I'm the Boss!"_ 0:38 * MJ walk up to him with "I'm the Boss" vibes * 😂

lol ali said ''get over here show them how pretty you is''

Wow this is so amazing.... man how times have changed . Rip MJ and Ali . Both truly are THE GOAT

He is the greatest , he is like a father for Michael Jackson . :-)

Ali was never crazy but he was definitely radical about our people... black people.

“ery lil girl wanna marry one of em” 4:36 ❣️😂

*Michael walks in the camera shot* Interviewer “Hi Jermaine, how you doing?” 😂😂😂😂

Две легенды, двое великих людей которые всю свою жизнь старались сделать этот мир добрее и лучше, вы мои герои!

Just I love Ali and Jackson soooooo much....

I love Mohammad Ali such a good human being. May Allah place him in Jannatul Firdaus, Amiin. Love ❤️ from Malaysia.

everyone is touchy with michael.. i cant beleive it.. everyone has been so touchy with michael even when he was older.. quincy, gordy, ali, eddi murphy, etc..they all like touching mikeeeee... even kissing mikee in public, the director for beat it kissed him i think.. they are all babying mike..everyone's babying mike since the beginning...LOL mike is everyone's little cute baby even when he was grown up.. thats why somehow this could be a factor why mikee is such a baby

My 2 Heros' meet each other!!! Awesome michael jackson and Muhammad Ali . Sweet

He has his arm around him because he loves him! genuinely and purely loves him like an innocent little brother. the hyper sexualization gets worse every decade they want you guys constantly thinking sex sex sex and back then men were more comfortable in their sexuality and putting your arm around a young boy wasn’t “gay” also black people loved each other more back then because of the oppression they wanted show love and stick together. Don’t be stupid.

RIP to both of them

2 Greatest of all Time! You’ll never see that Again NEVER NEVER NEVER!

Both hardworking and full of inspiration legends...THE G.O.A.T

The greatest of all time✊... Now I understand why is the greatest👊 RIP Ali 🙏

I am a Christian which means I accepted Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior and I model my life after Him. Throughout my entire life I have always respected and appreciated Mr. Muhammad Ali. As a child I was moved and inspired by his confidence and powerful rhetoric.Mr. Ali continues to give immeasurable joy to this world. "

Michael Jackson was a great humanitarian ..he gave away 359 million dollars... & no one knew until he died! Mj was listening to Ali..even if the reporter thought Ali was bs! Mj believed Ali. still missin' Mj :(

Wow I didn’t know Muhammad Ali was chill like that it’s great I like how honestly he talks

Thank you JUSTLUVUS for posting this historic footage "1977 interview of muhammad Ali with The Jackson 5 Part 1". I know that our beloved Mr. Michael Joseph Jackson was listening very carefully to Mr. Ali who talked about many important social issues of that time and issues that continue to exist. Michael saw himself as an citizen of the world. He indeed was an embassador of the world. Mr. Ali has always had a mammoth, charismatic, passionate personality. As a child I was in awe of Mr. Ali.

History in the making... So refreshing... real people humbly talking about real things that mattered 👍

#Ali and #J5 were some good looking brothers in the day. Whew👏👏👏👏

Michael is 19 years old there and he is like a little kid :DDD

A person like Ali should become a president, then the world will be a better place

Look at Ali man he was just the greatest ever

RIP muhammad ali

And this is one of the reasons they poisoned him, he was for his people.

Black people looked good back then and act so cool and loving. What the hell done happen now.

The King of Pop and the King of boxing oh god! 🔥🔥

RIP MJ and Muhammad Ali🙏🙏Amen

Caramba é como se agente voltasse, no tempo, vendo duas Lendas! Ali é Jackson.😢🇧🇷

WOW!! THE KING & G.O.A.T IN ONE ROOM!!! AMAZING.

Ali was also a great comedian 👏

Two legends crossing path

omg he is loud he said '' come on sit down and show them how pretty you are'' lol

No words can explain this historic interview??💓🌹✋😘😭 Epic (Infinity)

Love this man . yes brothers need to support each other. economic power.

シンプルで熱いまっすぐなアリの言葉。その後マイケルも世界を変えた。あなたたちが本当に大好きだ！Muhammad and Michael are the great persons in this world. Love you guys!

Brother Muhammad Ali spoke some very powerful & much needed words here!!! Pay attention! Then move on what he said = group economics!!!

Ali more than a legend

Oh my god! Muhammad Ali is making that interviewer work!

Wow, Ali didn't let the interviewer get a word in edgewise! I like that, the less time you give to interviewers to talk, the less stupid questions they get to ask. ...Ali started something good here, something I think MJ continued. Few people acknowledge how much Michael stood up for the rights of black artists.

LOL. I can't get over how Ali is just talking and the Jacksons are just sitting there looking like "YEAH WE JUST GONNA LISTEN RIGHT NOW".

Woah. I feel like a tornado just spun me around and spit me out after listening to Ali. He was going a mile a minute. I wonder what MJ was thinkin'. I got the impression the interviewer didn't like Ali. Loving Ali and MJ in the same room.

Very nice vid...It kind of makes me teary to think of the way both Ali and MJ's lives ended up...Ali "silenced" by Parkinson's and MJ... :( All of them were very beautiful black men..TY for the upload..

Mohammed ali was brave inteligant never afraid of telling the truth about hw black people need to help each other and black rich individualls to wake up and do something fr their own communities and make black people get togethor in order to be connected to each other , that was muhammed ali may Allah grant u his paradise , amen

"yall pretty"

This is fantastic, and also the first time i've viewed and heard this idea. What happened? Where is the hotel? What happened to all the celebrities that were going to kick in; invest? It's still very possible. Thank you. Mr. Ali may very well be the greatest in many aspect of the living. Unfortunately, something happened along the way. The right people (financial investors) never got together and/or agreed on anything. No architects, builders, philanthropists, entrepreneurs and etc, came together to make that idea into a reality. So sad. Too many ideas, dreams and ambitions never saw the light of day. Together we stand. Divided we fall. It still applies.

Love Mohammed Ali!...R.I.P. Champ! Miss you man!

"Every little girl wanna marry one of 'em" ain't that the truth! Every big girl too :) lol

Unity is a beautiful concept that can be a reality!

The 70s were so cool! Such a sense of unity & pride! Those days are pretty much over sadly!

Rip Michael & Ali Allah yerhamo

Hahaha @ "y'all pretty" lol he got that right - they are pretty... those Jackson boys are so good looking, they got the "pretty" genes from their mama :) especially Mike!

I love Ali. Ali always said that he was a pretty man. He acknowledge other good lookin' men. There ain't nothing gay about that. Ali was alot of things, but gay isn't one of them.

Great video a classic

Thanks!

Two Goats .Too much power

"Every lil girl wanna marry one of them" lol ain't that the truth.

Black Excellence!!
