1）Music's Takin' Over:
作者：Carstarphen/McFadden/Whitehead
时间：Recorded 1977 Epic/CBS record
歌词：
Music is a teacher
That can teach you right from wrong
If you listen closely (well)
There's a lesson in the song
Music is a doctor
That can cure a troubled mind
Listen to the music (say it again)
The rhythms and the rhymes
Chorus:
('Cause) Music's takin' over
Music makes you dance
Music's takin' over
Just give music a chance (say it again)
Music is a comfort
When you're all alone
Just turn up your music
And you don't need nobody home
Music is a power
People depend on every day
They make their decisions
By the records that they play
[Chorus]
Let's dance, let's dance, let's dance
Music is a sound
That makes the boys and girls get down

说明：一首欢快的快节奏的歌曲。主要讲述的对外面世界的憧憬与尝试做飞机旅行不同新地方的欢快的心情。曲风属于70年代末80年代初的风格。MJ对自己声音的运用与对音乐的把握非常到位。典型的JACKSONS的快歌。MJ的"I I I "的唱法已经有他后期典型演绎的雏形。
也许有一点是描述JACKSON兄弟四处巡演的经历。作为他们巡演的配乐也很合适。
3）:Different Kind of Lady
作者：The Jacksons
时间：Recorded 1977 Epic/CBS record
歌词：
If you want me
I'll be there in a flash
If you need me
Well that's different at last
Say it-no delay
Cause everything I do
Is always up to you
You got me saying'
Woo woo woo woo woo woo woo
I'm here to please you
In every way I can
To prove to you
That I'm your only man
Trying, no denying
Cause everything I do
Is always up to you
You got me sayin'
Woo woo woo woo woo woo woo
Chorus:
I searched this world
For a different kind of girl
I caught myself going girl shopping
No matter what I do
I keep running back to you
Saying you're all mine
Different kind of lady
The way I love you
In case you'd like to know
You're a lady
And that's a different show
You're meant for me
That makes you different, you see
Cause everything I do
Is always up to you
Cause you're a different kind of lady
Cause you're a different kind of lady
Cause you're a different kind of lady
[Chorus]
If you want me
I'll be there in a flash
If you need me
Well that's different at last
Cause you're a different kind of lady
Cause you're a different kind of lady
[Repeat and fade out]
说明：Jackson兄弟自己创作的歌曲,讲述是取悦女孩之类的东东。歌曲本身一般,词曲都相对一般。值得一听是MJ的声音。听着MJ唱歌的声音还是比较愉快的。
4）:Even Though You're Gone
作者：Huff, Leon; Gamble, Kenneth
时间：Recorded 1977 Epic/CBS record
歌曲欣赏：
歌词：
[Chorus]
Gotta find a way somehow
Nothing's gonna stop me now
Gotta find a way somehow
Even though you're gone
Things don't look as bad
As they did yesterday
Every minute I get
Stronger somehow ... some way
'Cause I gotta keep on living
I got the will to survive
Even though I feel so bad
So bad inside
[Chorus]
All the plans I had
I've got to give them up
And start a new
Making plans for one
Instead of making plans for two
From now on I'll be thinking
Thinking 'bout myself
It'll be a long time
Before I love somebody else
[Chorus]
I depended on you
For everything
Oh, I really trusted you
How could you do me the
Way you did
You really let me down
[Chorus]
说明：歌曲轻灵流畅,MJ的声音有一种清澈的质地。个人觉得这首歌不输给后续"Off the Wall", "Thriller"中的抒情歌曲。在Jacksons时期，MJ已经具有他后续颠峰时期的抒情演唱功底。如果MJ后续没有走快节奏有点ROCK& Roll风格的快歌路线的话，他也可以成为一个成功的抒情类的流行歌手。
歌曲描述女孩离开后，男孩惆怅忧伤的心情。不过虽然歌词有点忧伤，但MJ的演绎没那么消沉，清新流畅。很悦耳的一首歌。
5）:Jump for Joy
作者：Biggs, Cynthia; Wansel, Dexter
时间：Recorded 1977 Epic/CBS record
歌词：
People have misunderstandings
Of what life is all about
They put values in the wrong things
And in happiness they lose out
’Cause being happy is a feeling
This is all a frame of mind
And every moment you feel sad and blue
You could be having a real good time
Why don’t you jump for joy and be happy
Why don’t you jump for joy and be glad
If you just try it, you’ll fell better
And have the best time you ever had
Why don’t you jump for joy and be happy
Why don’t you jump for joy and be glad
If you just try it, I’m sure you’ll like it
And have the best time you ever had
Do it, do it, do it, do it
There is no sense in worrying
’Cause that won’t solve a thing
Chances are whatever’s worrying you
Is not as bad as it seems
Being down won’t last forever
’Cause nothing stays the same
You will have a bright tomorrow
There’s always sunshine after rain
Why don’t you jump for joy and be happy
Why don’t you jump for joy and be glad
If you just try it, I know you’ll like it
And have the best time you ever had
Why don’t you jump for joy and be happy
Why don’t you jump for joy and be glad
If you just try it, I know you’ll like it
And have the best time you ever had
You just got to, you just got to
Come on, yeah, come on, yeah, yeah
Why don’t, why don’t
Why don’t you jump for joy
Why don’t you jump for joy, yeah, come on
Why don’t, why don’t
If you just try it, I’m sure you’ll like it
And have the best time you’ve ever had
Why don’t you jump for joy
Come on
Why don’t you jump for joy and be glad
If you just try it, I’m sure you’ll like it
And have the best time you’ve ever had
6）:Heaven Knows I Love You, Girl
作者：Gamble/Huff
时间：Recorded 1977 Epic/CBS record
歌曲欣赏：
歌词：
Chorus:
Heaven knows I love you girl
I've never felt this way before
Each day I love you more and more and more
People always stare at us
When we're together
Cos we laugh and joke and
Always have a ball
We're friends and that makes
It so much better
We respect each other too
I was lucky the day
I found you
Chorus: Heaven knows I love you girl
I've never felt this way before
Each day I love you more and more and more
I've found a little place for us
To go and be alone
Let's fix it up the way we want
And call it home sweet home
Our love is priceless
It's so so rare
We believe in the same things too
Oh I was lucky the day
The day that I found you
Chorus: Heaven knows I love you girl
I've never felt this way before
Each day I love you more and more and more
Jermaine:
Precious is a love
That's based on truth
No words can ever describe
The way I love you
You know when two hearts beat as one
When two minds think as one
They can overcome any obstacles
And always stay together
Chorus: Heaven knows I love you girl
Heaven knows I love you girl
Heaven knows I love you girl
Heaven knows I love you girl
说明：一首轻柔动听的情歌。相信很多人都愿意听到MJ唱出那句＂Heaven knows I love you girl＂。值得一遍遍反复听的歌，歌词清新真挚，MJ演绎出了温柔的感觉。
7）:Man of War
作者：Gamble/Huff
时间：Recorded 1977 Epic/CBS record
歌词：
You think that your way
Is the best way of all
You don’t know everything
So you don’t know it all
You don’t respect a man
For the way that he feels
You can’t make people do things
Against their will
Man of war
Don’t go to war no more
Why don’t you
Why don’t you study peace
Man of war
Don’t go to war no more
Study peace
’Cause peace is what we need
Just because your army
Gives you strength
Gives you might
Truth is gonna win
Wrong will never conquer right
Every man has a right
To think and be free
You’re like a spoiled brat
You want everything you see
Man of war
Don’t go to war no more
Why don’t you
Why don’t you study peace
Man of war
Don’t go to war no more
Study peace
’Cause peace is what we need
You think that your bombs, guns and planes
Make you a big man
When you attack and invade
On another man’s land
Trying to make him be
What you want him to be
Make him do
What you want him to do
Make him say
What you want him to say
It wasn’t meant to be that way
You think your way
Is the best way of all
(Saying)
You don’t know everything
So you don’t know it all
(Everybody)
You got to respect a man
For the way that he feels
You can’t make people do things
Against their will
Man of war
(Saying, saying)
Don’t go to war no more
Why don’t you
Why don’t you study peace
Man of war
(Tell everybody)
Don’t go to war no more
Study peace
’Cause peace is what we need
说明：一首反战歌曲，虽然是以很温柔方式唱出的。歌词劝导人们不要去参加战争，尊重其他人的意愿与自由，不要要炸弹、枪炮、飞机等去侵占他人的土地，迫使他人服从。
虽然歌曲不是MJ写的，但可以看出从很早时候他就在思考或受到相关事情影响（能让这首选入专辑，就说明JACKSONS兄弟认同这首歌中的理念）。
也许与美国70年代鲜花与枪炮等学生运动的大背景环境影响，以及John Lenon "Give peace a chance"等活动影响，才有这样的歌。
但世界和平的理念，之后贯穿了MJ一生。也许可以从这首歌可以看出部分源头，以及JACKSONS对此所做的努力。
后续的Jam、Heal the world, History,Earth song等歌曲中，MJ应该对相关问题进行了进一步的思考。这也许是MJ后续虽然成为超级明星，站在世界之颠，但仍能保持清醒谦逊的部分原因。
8）: Do What You Wanna
作者：The Jacksons
时间：Recorded 1977 Epic/CBS record
歌词：
Chorus:
Do what you wanna
And do it
Whenever I convince you
Stick to it
Keep on striving
Towards your goals
If it's right
Don't let it go
Live the life
You wanna live
Don't be phony
Just be real
People-be yourself
Don't be nobody -nobody else
[Chorus]
Don't let nobody
Fool you around
Tryin' to turn your life
Upside down
Just be strong in your field
And when you reach the top
Happily you will live
People-be yourself
Don't be nobody -nobody else
[Chorus]
[Instrumental]
People-be yourself
Don't be nobody -nobody else
I'm telling you people-be yourself
Don't be nobody-nobody else
Goin' Places (1977) 专辑评论：
这是JACKSON兄弟离开摩城后的第二张专辑。从这张专辑中可以看出JACKSONS/MJ音乐风格已经开始成熟,已经具有了部分MJ后来单飞时"Off the Wall"与"Triller"中慢歌的风格与水准。MJ也在那时形成了一些自己标志性的演唱方式的雏形，比如在歌曲间隙中加上一些“啊”“哦”之类发声，以及对自己声音的一些运用。
MJ对抒情歌曲的演绎与把握，在那个时候也已经基本成型，后续改变不是很大。不过坦率地讲，MJ最擅长演绎的，还是一些表现悲伤、别离、孤独感的抒情歌曲，有一种发自内心深处的感觉，很容易引起共鸣。而他演唱表现欢乐、深情类的抒情歌曲，相对就没有那么突出。
不过JACKSONS/写歌的水平当时还不怎么样，专辑中他们自己创作的两首歌"Different Kind of Lady" 与"Do What You Wanna"，都相对比较一般，没有达到能让人耳目一新或传唱的水准。
在JACKSON兄弟离开摩城后，几乎在他们每张专辑里，都有一些关心世界、呼吁和平友爱或励志的公益类型歌曲。一方面说明JACKSON兄弟具有的社会责任感，以及他们的价值取向，MJ所处的成长环境；另一方面说明MJ并不是在成为天皇巨星后才开始做这些，这是一直贯穿MJ生活，从他是个少年时就在做的事。
不过，说MJ对爱情的把握，没有怎么听出来。“Heaven Knows I Love You, Girl ”歌中MJ唱出了温柔的感觉（如果他想的话，他能成为一个温柔的好情人），个人觉得这是这张专辑中最好的一首情歌。“Find Me a Girl”唱出了孤独感。除此之外，其他的情歌基本没什么感觉，他们自己写的"Different Kind of Lady" ，本身歌曲写得很一般，MJ的演绎怎么说呢，反正不象情歌。
