I still think “I Want You Back” is Michael Jackson’s biggest triumph. I never really liked his style as an adult (to be honest, I like his sister Janet’s songs better), but it takes a lot for someone as young as Michael — and the rest of the Jacksons — to pull this off at this age. I hope it had less of a role in later turning him into a weird Peter Pan-ish guy than everyone and their psychiatrist friends seem to believe.
Yeah, it’s cute. But that doesn’t mean it’s not a wonderful musical composition, executed with passion and in style, that could give the better part of the iTunes Top 100 (including today’s) a handsome run for its money.
