Jackson 5 (1971) Honey Chile

 Off their 1971 album Maybe Tomorrow, The Jacksons covered this song, originally performed by Motown label mates Martha and the Vandellas. The song is bright pop song opening with a farmyard feel complete with a cockerel crowing and country and western harmonica before some bombastic drums lead the song into it's orchestra lined groove. This with most Jackson 5 songs are showcases for the powerful vocals of a young Michael Jackson that belied his years. Still incredible that he was only 12 when delivering this stinging soul material about infidelity.
