The legendary producers filmed interviews they carried out with Jackson and his brothers while recording the Jackson 5′s first post-Motown albums, The Jacksons and Going Places, in the mid-1970s, and now they’re releasing the unseen footage on their website.
The short film features an interview with the Jacksons, which took place a day after they met their hero Muhammad Ali.
And there’s a very sweet moment as Michael starts interviewing house producer Dexter Wansel’s two-year-old son on camera, asking, ‘Is that your daddy? Is that your Daddy right there? Let me see you dance. Can you dance? You can’t dance? Can you sing? He can’t dance, Dex?’
The film footage has brought back wonderful memories for Gamble & Huff.
A joint statement from them reads, ‘Michael was a great and wonderful artist and performer. We were privileged and honored to record him and his brothers here at Philadelphia International Records… We know his music and legacy will live on for a very long time.’

Singer and actress Vanessa Williams is speaking out about the death of Michael Jackson and explains that the late star’s influence on music and dance will live on long after his death.
“The music will live on,” she says. “His talent was endless, and luckily we have it on film to enjoy for eternity…People are interested in dance because they see someone like a Michael Jackson doing a move that inspires everybody, watching him to want to copy it and perfect it.”
Williams also tells ET about her experience playing former Motown Records executive and CEO of de Passe Entertainment Suzanne de Passe, in the 1992 mini-series “The Jacksons: An American Dream”
“It was great to be a part of such a wonderful story,” she says. “To play Suzanne de Passe she is the consummate woman who has done it all, and as a businesswoman survived in the industry for years, and truly is the one that gave Michael his opportunity. When Motown returns to the Apollo and 25th Motown Anniversary, those were all ideas that she came up with. So it was great to be able to play her.”
