Talk:I Want You Back

message: Why is so much space devoted to one of the less distinguished covers of this song? Many more interesting covers (Lake Street Dive's street corner performance debut, the version cut from Glee_(TV_series), etc. There are too many covers to cover, so best include none, or point to a separate article with a list.

message: Did the song "I want you back" have any social, political, or economical influence in it; was it influenced by (or was it influencial in) society, politics, or the economy?
:No...it's simply an accessible, bubblegum pop record sung by a kid group. For Motown songs that had social, political, or economical influence, look at the work of Norman Whitfield and the acts he produced (The Temptations, The Undisputed Truth, Edwin Starr). --FuriousFreddy 23:22, 31 May 2005 (UTC)

message: Hey, to the one who edited the original "I Want You Back" page to make it a page about Corey Hart's different version, please do the song under this title: "I Want You Back (Corey Hart song)" so there won't be no difficulties. The song was recorded in different versions under the same title by other artists and since the Jacksons' first version was the one people know. I think it's safe to create a new page just for Corey's song alone. Thanks. -- BrothaTimothy
:Actually, no; any information on any cover of the Gordy/Mizell/Perren/Richards composition "I Want YOu Back" should be in this article and this article alone. We had a huge issue last year with fans writing seperate articles on different cover versions of songs. --FuriousFreddy 15:41, 7 August 2006 (UTC)

message: Please discuss the specific issues you have with my recent changes.  As the edit summary indicated, what I did was "organize into sections, cut back on peacock terms, annotate external links"--none of which qualifies as "unconstructive" as you said on my talk page. 72.244.200.36 (talk) 20:08, 18 May 2008 (UTC)

thread_title:  Instrumental Cover Version 

message: The "I Want You Back" single by "The Jackson Five", is a 1969 song by the Jackson Five (introduction says Jackson 5) released before the album "Diana Ross Presents The Jackson 5" (infobox has the song coming "from the album"). Motown signed The Jackson Five not the The Jackson 5 in March 1969. The 1968 titled song in infobox, source [3], is a Steeltown label song by "The Jackson Five", not a Motown label song (infobox has one label, "Label-Motown"). — Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.165.84.140 (talk) 00:48, 22 October 2015 (UTC)

message: The personnel list has unreferenced claims of these musicians, maintenance tags are three years old. Having said that, I'm gonna go ahead and delete them for now, until reliable sources are found stating that they played on the song.--2601:153:881:3D60:989C:476D:B562:7A0E (talk) 20:30, 24 October 2020 (UTC)

message: I personally think that, instead of repeating the same citations throughout the list for each of the musicians, it probably would be better to just say "Credits adapted from Michael Jackson All The Songs and AllMusic" as the list itself would look cleaner/tidier and be easier to read, so I'm gonna go ahead and do that.--2601:153:881:3D60:5C85:97F1:B82C:960B (talk) 20:44, 15 October 2021 (UTC)
