The fourth straight #1 single from the Jackson 5 was also Motown’s biggest US seller before the label officially moved from Detroit to L.A. in 1972. It once again featured an 11-year-old Michael Jackson on lead vocals. Michael had been told by Berry Gordy to toss in “just look over your shoulder” as a nod to the Four Tops’ “Reach Out I’ll Be There” but he said “shoulders.” That would’ve required quite a feat of body contortion to look over both simultaneously, like something out of “The Exorcist.”
