2. “I'll Be There” by The Jackson 5 - 1970

A soul song written by Berry Gordy, Bob West, Hal Davis, and Willie Hutch, which resulted in two U.S. #1 hit singles: the original 1970 recording by American vocal quintet The Jackson 5 and a 1992 live version by American R&B singers Mariah Carey and Trey Lorenz. The Jackson 5 interpretation was recorded for Motown Records, and released as the first single from their Third Album in 1969. Produced by the songwriters, "I'll Be There" was The Jackson 5's fourth #1 hit in a row ("I Want You Back", "ABC", and "The Love You Save"), making them the first black male group to achieve four consecutive #1 pop hits. "I'll Be There" is also notable as the most successful single released by Motown during its "Detroit era" (1959–1972).

Does Facebook make you sad?

Are you a member of this extremely popular social networking website? I bet you are, same here. It's been great being part of it, to be able to connect and reconnect with your love ones and friends. See their lives unfolding. I've seen my nephews and nieces as they grow-up through this website. Being thousands of miles away from home, this is one of the best ways of keeping in touch with them.

Recently, I came across this article "Why Facebook Makes You Sad?  Pictures posted on site can make people jealous of each others' lives?  According to this article, the more hours people spent on Facebook, the stronger was their agreement that others were happier. Looking at happy pictures of others on this hugely popular website gives people an impression that others are "always" happy and having good lives. While users will know that their real friends have ups and downs in their lives, all they have to go on with their fake Facebook 'friends' is a smiling picture. When that distorting effect is multiplied by the hundreds of Facebook friends that people don't actually know, it is easy to see how bitterness can fester, said the study.
