I agree with you Carl,
Even in the early years they really kicked it and Michael was always dancing circles around his brothers throughout all the years.
Being so young and successful definitely has it drawbacks for some entertainers which usually come out sooner rather than later.
In Michael's case it seems to have been the opposite.
Although the brothers had talent, they pretty much rode on the back of Michael (IMO)
I can remember when it was a battle of the Jacksons and the Osmonds--Michael vs. Donny in the creampuff world of Pop back then in the late 60's and into the 70's.
The Tryrant that his Dad (Joe Jackson) was certainley didn't help matters much.
I think Katherine they're Mother was the only stability in the family--but in the end she pretty much let Joe's ambition and greed run the show.
I'm the same age as Michael and Donny and those early years surely bring back fond memories like they were yesterday-- a great time to grow up in.
