I'll Be There
Jacksons · Other Songs - Jacksons
You and I must make a pact, we must bring salvation back
Where there is love, IÂ’ll be there
IÂ’ll reach out my hand to you, IÂ’ll have faith in all you do
Just call my name and IÂ’ll be there
IÂ’ll be there to comfort you,
Build my world of dreams around you, IÂ’m so glad that I found you
IÂ’ll be there with a love thatÂ’s strong
IÂ’ll be your strength, IÂ’ll keep holding on
Let me fill your heart with joy and laughter
Togetherness, well thatÂ’s all IÂ’m after
Whenever you need me, IÂ’ll be there
IÂ’ll be there to protect you, with an unselfish love that respects you
Just call my name and IÂ’ll be there
If you should ever find someone new, I know heÂ’d better be good to you
Â’cause if he doesnÂ’t, IÂ’ll be there
DonÂ’t you know, baby, yeah yeah
IÂ’ll be there, IÂ’ll be there, just call my name, IÂ’ll be there
(just look over your shoulders, honey - oo)
IÂ’ll be there, IÂ’ll be there, whenever you need me, IÂ’ll be there
DonÂ’t you know, baby, yeah yeah
IÂ’ll be there, IÂ’ll be there, just call my name, IÂ’ll be there...
About I'll Be There
"I'll Be There" by The Jacksons stands as a cornerstone of their 1970s pop-soul repertoire, defined by its infectious rhythm and the group's signature vocal harmony. Released during a period of immense commercial success, the track exemplifies the band's ability to blend R&B sensibilities with mainstream dance-pop appeal. While often associated with their later hits like "I'll Be There" (1983), this song reflects the era's characteristic sound where the Jacksons were redefining the boy band format with mature songwriting and polished production. The recording captures the dynamic interplay between the brothers, showcasing their technical proficiency and emotional delivery that became a hallmark of their discography. It remains a testament to their influence on the evolution of family-oriented pop music in the late twentieth century.
