America’s greatest record label and global music icon---MOTOWN. Who would have thought back in ’59, when Barrett Strong sang “Money (That’s What I Want)”, that Hitsville U.S.A., our beloved Motown, would become one of the most renowned, groundbreaking record labels in modern music history -- and that we would be celebrating with great affection its 50th Anniversary in 2009. From their incredible team of staff writers, producers and studio musicians, to the amazing galaxy of artists — Smokey Robinson, Gladys Knight & the Pips, Marvin Gaye, Stevie Wonder, Diana Ross & The Supremes, The Jackson 5, the Temptations, the Four Tops, Mary Wells, Martha Reeves & the Vandellas and many more — Motown was, and still is, The Sound of Young America. The Motown Sound went worldwide in the 60s, and that sound still resonates today. With nearly 200 #1 songs worldwide, Motown’s hits continue to appear worldwide in commercials, TV shows and movies and remain an influence on today’s biggest pop and R&B stars. Imagine the musical landscape without the songs such as “My Girl”, “The Tracks of My Tears”, “You Are The Sunshine of My Life” and “What’s Going On”. These are the new standards. They represent the best of American culture worldwide. But Motown stands for more than just the music: it is a reflection of the hard work of dedicated individuals overcoming incredible obstacles to achieve great success. Berry Gordy Jr., a young African American man, founded Motown Records with a loan of $800 from his family. Through determination and support of the Motown family of artists, Gordy forged new grounds for minorities and made the “Motown Sound” a worldwide phenomenon adored by millions. It’s an “only in America” story. And everyone can sing along.

I Want You Back
The Jackson 5 Lyrics
Uh ohh
Let me tell you now
Uh huh
When I had you to myself
I didn't want you around
Those pretty faces always made you
Stand out in a crowd
But someone picked you from the bunch
One glance was all it took
Now it's much too late for me
To take a second look
Oh, baby, give me one more chance
(To show you that I love you)
Won't you please let me
Back in your heart
Oh, darling, I was blind to let you go
(Let you go baby)
But now since I see you in his arms
(I want you back) yes, I do now
(I want you back) ooh ooh, baby
(I want you back) Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
(I want you back) Now, now, now, now
Trying to live without your love
Is one long sleepless night
Let me show you girl
That I know wrong from right
Every street you walk on
I leave tear stains on the ground
Following the girl
I didn't even want around
(Let me show you now)
Oh, baby, give me one more chance
(To show you that I love you)
Won't you please let me
Back in your heart
Oh, darling, I was blind to let you go
(Let you go baby)
But now since I see you in his arms
(Ohh) (bum, bum, bum, bum-buh-bum, bum)
(Bum, bum, bum, bum-buh-bum, bum)
(Bum, bum, bum, bum-buh-bum, bum)
(Bum, bum, bum, bum-buh-bum, bum) ah, buh bum, bum, bum
(Bum, bum, bum, bum-buh-bum, bum) ah, buh bum, bum, bum
All I want
(Bum, bum, bum, bum-buh-bum, bum) ah, buh bum, bum, bum
All I need
(Bum, bum, bum, bum-buh-bum, bum) ah, buh bum, bum, bum
All I want
(Bum, bum, bum, bum-buh-bum, bum) ah, buh bum, bum, bum
All I need
Oh, just one more chance
To show that I love you
Baby (baby)
Baby (baby)
Baby (baby)
(I want you back)
Forget what happened then (I want you back)
Let me live again
Oh, baby I was blind to let you go
But now since I see you it is all
(I want you back)
Spare me of this cause
Get back what I lost
Oh baby I need one more chance, ha
I tell ya that I love you
Baby (Oh), baby (oh), baby (oh)
I want you back, ha
I want you back

When I had you to myself, I didn't want you around
Those pretty faces always made you stand out in a crowd
But someone picked you from the bunch, one glance was all it took
Now it's much too late for me to take a second look
[Chorus: Michael Jackson & Jackson 5]
Oh, baby, give me one more chance (To show you that I love you)
Won't you please let me (Back in your heart)
Oh, darlin', I was blind to let you go (Let you go, baby)
But now since I see you in his arms (I want you back)
[Post-Chorus: Michael Jackson & Jackson 5]
Yes, I do now (I want you back)
Ooh, ooh, baby (I want you back)
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah (I want you back)
Na, na, na, na
[Verse 2: Michael Jackson]
Tryin' to live without your love is one long sleepless night
Let me show you, girl, that I know wrong from right
Every street you walk on I leave tear stains on the ground
Following the girl, I didn't even want around
Let me tell you now

Baby, oh! Baby, oh! Baby, oh!
I want you back!

@Nagiwagi You were born in 1909? That's impressive, if somewhat unlikely.
