“All the Things You Are”
Date range assessed by Jackson5ABC forum user “jaorecords”’ analysis (archived), where he estimated to the best of his ability, based on how MJ's vocal sounds in relation to other songs, other tracks’ confirmed recording dates, and the producers working on the tracks at the time, the recording dates for tracks where a recording date has not yet been publicly released. Date will be updated if more official information comes to light.

The amazing thing about his talent in those days, he would learn a song by hearing it three or four times and he would know the song and record it perfectly. One example of the great singer he was naturally, was when we recorded the standard classic “All the Things You Are” by Rodgers and Hammerstein, which is difficult to sing in the first place with so many chord changes and vocal range. He would hear it, run through it a couple of times, and sing it perfectly.
