Story 1
Brothers
Michael and Jermaine both used to play around lot, trying to make each
other laugh. You can see that in their TV appearances if you know to look
for it. They used to change the lyrics slightly to try to crack each other
up. For example, when they sing "I'll Be There " on the 1971 "Diana!"
special, Jermaine sings the line that's supposed to be "Build my world of
dreams around you" as "Build my world of strings around you" then he has a
really hard time keeping a straight face and he almost loses it completely
when he catches Michael's eye. Another time on the Flip Wilson Show when
they were singing the last part of "Never Can Say Goodbye," Michael jumps
up at Jermaine when he belts out one of his "OWs" and startles him. Then
the two of them giggle through the rest of the song. It's really cute (and
funny!). They were quite a pair back then.
