Look at those spins with a corded microphone. The talent to perform live with dancing and singing was tremendous.

So jealous of the people in the audience who got to see this live!!!! MJ was everything!!! ❤️🎼❤️

The man moves are so pure, so clean, the rhythm simply flows through him......there will never be another

There willn't be a singer better than M.J. in this world. MJ had it all in his music.

I love that so many young people (guys, too) love MJ and miss him, and that they see that no one today compares to him. There are a lot of talented people out there, but he was just one of a kind. His music added so much happiness and joy to the environment back then. We were so lucky!!

It's so easy to fall in love with Michael, isn't it?

I feel bad for my generation because music now isn't as good or better than MJ.

RIP to the man that wrote this amazing song, Rod Temperton. Prayers to his friends and family. "And when the groove is dead and gone, you know that love survives"

Man he's soooo good live. Not many artists these days can sing by themselves without auto tune....such a shame he's gone

Little did the world know at that time (in 1981) that Michael Jackson was about a year away from releasing one of the best albums of all time named "Thriller" Thank you M.J.

My fav song of MJ.

That's what I love about Michael, his live singing is so good that you'd think he's lip syncing. But he's great, not many artists can pull that off!

I feel bad for gen z because music now isn’t as good now. I am a gen z and this music is 🔥.

DUDE DO YOU ALL NOT SEE THIS... this man litterally spinned like 30 million times, kicked, shuffled his feet with a whole microphone cord all over the place. If that was me I would have wrapped my whole body up like a hostage situation but noooo.... Michael made it look soo damn easy

1:39 and 2:10 ... I mean granted the man had been dancing his whole life, the precision and execution

OH my those moves... Notice how sexy Michael is, when he is around Diana Ross. Those two had a chemistry, I don't care what anyone says, they were into each other. MJ is a KIng!

One of MJ's best songs, it just puts me in a good mood. I love his dancing and singing so much! ❤

Diana Ross and Michael Jackson were simply 2 of the most amazing performers ever. What a classic clip!

Carisma, talento, belleza y una sonrisa que cura todos los dolores del mundo. GRACIAS POR HABERNOS ENTREGADO TU ESENCIA GENIO!!!!!!!!!! I LOVE YOU

This man was, is and FOREVER WILL BE A LEGEND TO THE PLANET!

The control and the live experience! Could have done this performance blind folded! Never tripping or tangling up in his Mic cord! Very stage conscious!

Oh, MJ, you were a true artist! And you were also sadly misunderstood...the hurting is over, may you finally rest in peace!

Go 'head, King. This is how I always wanna remember him. A young man who only wanted peace and harmony. Great performance.

He was gorgeous.

Christ the man was good, what an absolute legend. His talent is so way beyond human understanding, god bless him and what he gave us:)

I might be the only one who believes that Michael and Diana did a little somethin somethin back in the day and Michael was seriously whipped afterwards.

Con un talento innato para la música, el baile, el dominio y la prestancia escénica, con un estilo único y arrollador, Michael Jackson es sin lugar a dudas una de las súper estrellas más deslumbrantes e icónicas del firmamento musical en la historia de la cultura popular norteamericana y universal.

michael is my inspiration as a man. Gentle, loving, cool, smooth, successful , swagged up and highly respecttful of women

Wow! The quality of the sound and of the image are as breathtaking as Jackson's performance!

You're right. He hugged Diana Ross like he wanted to swallow her entirely. I also never saw him hug another woman in the same way.

Artist, performer , singer. #MJFOREVER

The Greatest of All Time!!

He was PERFECT

My eternal idol...forever and always...miss you, Micheal

And when the groove is dead & gone. You not that L.O.V.E survives, so we can rock forever on!

I think I am ruined for life for any man after watching this one too many times :) I wish there was a version that was just close-ups of him singing, because he is just.so.Beautiful!!!!!!! Then again I'm mesmerized by the dance moves...*sigh*...nothing compares to you, MJ. Truly the best of everything that a human can be!

So amazing and at the same time sad. He was happy during this time.Look at the intimate setting...nobody was screaming at him or fainting or grabbing at him. Crazy how big he became. The most famous person in the world.

*Michael Jackson was the most gorgeous and beautiful man on Earth, still to this day, there's No1 like him and never be any1 like him*

wow he sounds amazing live! loveeee him!

this is a classic moment in music history. Michael jackson was simply the best live performer of all time, he is so crisp and amazing. Diana Ross cant quite keep up with him here but she is still so awesome and talented. These kind of amazing spontaneous events will never happen again.

I just love his gentle, tender low voice at the start of the song...it just oozes a very sexy but sweet vibe! 👑 King!

I was feeling like I was there cheering clapping my hands. Michael Jackson is the G.O.A.T.

what a fine vocal performance. I don't think MJ got enough credit for his vocal abilities... this is an awesome display of live vocal control......i've got this on REPEAT

He was in love with her, you can see it at the end!

Best singer in the word.

There will never be another.

70's-80's Michael was funky!!! 90's-00's Michael was modernly funky!!

Who had more swagg than MJ back in the day? NOBODY!

The goat

They are both having a lot of fun! Mike is such a Babe! And Miss Diana is gorgeous and glamorous. An altogether lovely moment. I so wish his whole life could have been like this!

Diana says I like singing your hits and Michael replies you have alot of hits of your own. Always a very humble man and he never forgot where he came from. Always a giver till the end. If you notice when MJ received awards he always complimented the presenter giving him the award on stage. There will NEVER be anyone that will even come close to Michael's talent. He will always be the KING OF POP.

Why can't all guys be like Michael? :/ This world would be a better place.

So pure. So Beautiful. The ultimate entertainer of all times. Like King Solomon, there will not be another like him.

He was the most fantastic performer i have ever seen...danced...sang...and made you laugh and smile and kept you mesmerized!!!I have never had any other performer do that yet other than Michael and probably never will.......Rest in peace Michael and know that you are missed...........

mike ... hay dios... no puede haber persona mas dulce que el .. GENIO!!

The real MICHAEL JACKSON...

The goat in a class by Himself nothing more needs to be said.

This is a magical video to see Michael with Diana singing and dancing together having a wonderful time!!!I remember that this was my favorite song to dance to at the disco :-)Michael was the greatest entertainer of our time and is missed and will always be missed.....RIP Michael....You will never ever be forgotten!!!!!!!

MJ had it all, looks, dancing ability, singing, why he did not stay like this we will never know. That Pepsi commercial in 84 when he burned his scalp set him in a different direction and changed him. THE Best Entertainer Ever. Amazing home grown talent from Gary, Indiana, self taught, he gave it his all in concert, a joy to watch. No.1 in my book forever, he was a perfectionist.He is missed, his music was by far and still is way better then the music out today in 20.

God I wish I could have witnessed him live with my own eyes man!

I would give anything to go back in time to see this performance live in person.

Michael Jackson performing is always great, breath-taking, but there is something else here. Great music, man! Soulful, beautiful, swinging. Everything falls into it's place, if you sensitize yourself, you will realize this singer is really listening to the musicians, letting them shine, shining with the beat and not overdoing anything. Just amazing basslines that dialogue with him in between the spaces. Stuff of refined people, very intelligent... and very rhythmic. Great taste!

Moment magic!

i can see his personality in his dancing is starting to shine

im a grownass man, straight, and even a little homophobic at times... but gaahttdaaamn props to the guy near MJ for holding his composure, even I wouldve fuckin melted

PEAK Michael Jackson.

i wish he could have been stuck in this time, so he didn't have to feel the harshness of the media and fame, i wish he was this happy, and performing like a boss, at least he's at peace now

It's great to read on so many sites how many young people love and miss Michael, and that they see that no one out there today compares to him. There are a lot of talented people out there making their mark, but he was truly One of a Kind. His music playing on the airwaves all the time added so much happiness and joy to the environment back then. We were so lucky!! But thank God for KZfaq!

My favorite MJ song, just great!

One of my favorite performances...and the way he hugs Diana..oh boy, it tells everything... Michael U are PHENOMENAL!!! We love U our dearest MJPAN

i still cant believe he's gone......................

When Mike rolled that coat sleeve up, yo ass was in for a show.

king of pop all time

They are both having a lot of fun! Mike is such a Babe! And Miss Diana is gorgeous and glamorous.

0:14 ^ Girl, close your eyes Let that rhythm get into you Don't try to fight it There ain't nothing that you can do Relax your mind Lay back and groove with mine You gotta feel that heat And we can ride the boogie Share that beat of love I wanna rock with you Dance you into day I wanna rock with you We're gonna rock the night away Out on the floor There ain't nobody there but us Girl, when you dance There's a magic that must be love Just take it slow Cause we got so far to go When you feel that heat And we're gonna ride the boogie Share that beat of love I wanna rock with you Dance you into day I wanna rock with you We gon rock the night away And when the groove is dead and gone You know that love survives So we can rock forever, on I wanna rock with you I wanna groove with you Wanna rock With you, girl Rock with you, rock with you, yeah Dance the night away I wanna rock with you, yeah Rock you into day I wanna rock with you Rock the night away Feel the heat, feel the beat Rock you into day I wanna rock Rock the night away🎤🎶

Rock With You is my favorite Michael Jackson song Amazing performance by Michael and Diana

This is the best MJ looked, why could he not stay like this, If he stayed like this he would still be living today in 21.He was amazing, what a talent he was.

mj and diana rocked the night away after that ;)

Immortal legend...

MJ is Perfect!

Michael felt the music and gave it movement and THAT was his power of he had!!!NObody will ever have the moves and the grooves that Michael did!!!!!!You will always be the BEST Michael...RIP my friend :-)Thanks for posting this as it is also a tribute to Diana Ross who gave the Jackson five their start...God bless you all :-)

this was the happiest time of his life.. you could see it

You gotta luv how the audience was so in-tune, and was clapping along to the music. That's how live performances are supposed to be!!

Best of the best !

Lindo voz, lindo sorriso, lindo desempenho ,ele é lindo em tudo.Michael eu te amo.

Michael is SO ADORABLE!!! He is so sweet and sexy at the same time- a rare quality!! I love you Michael,and I always will....

Wow!! he sounded just as good live !!!

😢😢😭😭😖 love you Michael Jackson music

Best song ever!!!!! There is not a day that goes by that I do not listen to it. We truly miss you Michael, love you.

sexy sexy sexy ... what a stud ... gorgeous Michael ... no one can take his place

Purest voice . Such talent . Just an awsome force of nature

God I love all of Michael Jackson's song when he was black those were some classics man.

2:12-2:26 Lawd have mercy...those moves! Givin' me the vapors *Swoons* He was soooo beautiful in this clip! Yes a man can be beautiful....MJ was one man who could truly be called that.

Had this special on video years ago and it was brilliant!

I haven't seen this one probably since Diana Ross' special came on CBS in the early 80's, it's great seeing this again.

I can totally imagine Michael being in Heaven just like this, decked out in white, smiling, dancing, singing.

Epic Live Vocals on this one Mike keep rockin it
