Nation To Nation
All The World
Must Come Together
Face The Problems
That We See
Then Maybe Somehow We Can Work It Out
I Asked My Neighbor
For A Favor
She Said Later
What Has Come Of
All The People
Have We Lost Love
Of What It's About

I Have To Find My Peace 'cause
No One Seems To Let Me Be
False Prophets Cry Of Doom
What Are The Possibilities
I Told My Brother
There'll Be Problems,
Times And Tears For Fears,
We Must Live Each Day
Like It's The Last

Go With It

It Ain't Too Much
It Ain't Too Much For Me To

The World Keeps Changing
Rearranging Minds
And Thoughts
Predictions Fly Of Doom

Has Come Of Age
We'll Work It Out

I Told My Brothers
Don't You Ask Me
For No Favors
I'm Conditioned By
The System
Don't You Talk To Me
Don't Scream And Shout

She Pray To God, To Buddha
Then She Sings A

In The Temple
You Can't Hurt Me
I Found Peace

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to The Jackson 5's song Jam Session are a call for unity and peace across the world. The first verse reminds us that all nations, all people, must come together to face the problems that we see in the world. The hope is that with enough effort, we can work it out. The second verse reflects on the changes happening in the world and how predictions of doom abound. It's acknowledged that there will be times of trouble, but we must live each day like it's our last. The chorus encourages everyone to "go with it" and jam out, because it's all going to be okay.

Wow, Joseph's pretty good on that guitar! I can see where Tito gets his talent from!

@fremontirvingtonlow1 The Some Girls/Michael the Lover that was released on 45 on the Dynamo label (much larger label than Steeltown) was obviously overdubbed and cleaned up from some earlier tape, probably in 1969 after "I Want You Back" hit. It has a string section, the strings sound clean, but the orig. drum kit (not the overdubbed bongos) and vocals sound distorted and ragged. I have a blue Steeltown "21" 45, and a red Atco-imprinted "Big Boy" as well as the Dynamo "21"/Some Girls 45.

Did Motown buy up these songs? You've changed is on Diana Ross Presents the Jackson 5. I saw the pre-Motown CD at Rasputin's Records, where I live. I am going to buy it.

I'm resently interested in getting and most original copy of "big boy" as i can find. first I found different online info online as follows [An ex-engineer, who engineered on all the sessions, has confirmed the Jackson 5 recorded eight songs for Steel-Town, only six of which have been released, including: • Big Boy. • You’ve Changed. • We Don’t Have To Be Over 21 (To Fall In Love). • Jam Session (the version on the B-side of Big Boy). Two of the six released songs are unconfrmed -

@JPLGDAPL His mother said that Mike wanted to sing like Jermaine. I guess, that of all of the brothers, Mike really looked up to Jermaine

fremontirvingtonlow1

Two of the six released songs are unconfirmed, but are probably: • Some Girls Want Me For Their Lover (aka Michael The Lover). • I Found A Love.] Me again, So that would mean this song is on the flip-side of "Big Boy" but wait. Then on few other sights, show the discography of Steeltown released first release was "big boy"/"You've changed" so I think this credits you right as the 2nd release, so why is this the only blue label I've seen? and why is there other 1st releases w/tagging label-

fremontirvingtonlow1
