Says SONGFACTS

In this song, a man tells his former lover that he will always be there for her, and that even if she finds someone new, she can always go back to him. This statement of unconditional fealty makes it one of the more touching and romantic songs of the era, sweetened by the innocence of Michael Jackson’s voice – he was just 11 years old when he recorded it.
Michael Jackson is on the lead vocal, with his brother Jermaine coming in on the bridge (“I’ll be there to comfort you…”). This was typical division of vocal labor in the group – their voices provided a nice contrast.
Backed by the Motown machine and the prodigious talents of Michael Jackson, The Jackson 5 went to #1 on both the Hot 100 and R&B charts with their first four singles, starting with “I Want You Back” in 1969. Two more uptempo songs came next: “ABC” and “The Love You Save,” followed by “I’ll Be There,” their first hit ballad.

The group never landed another #1 on the Hot 100, but stayed on the charts throughout the ’70s (they became “The Jacksons” in 1976). Michael Jackson had his first #1 as a solo artist with “Ben” in 1972, then reached new heights with his albums Off The Wall (1979) and Thriller (1982).
Four different writers, each with a very different role, are credited as composers on this song. The first rendition was written by Bob West, an associate of Hal Davis, who set up the Motown office in Los Angeles. Davis tweaked the song, then had another songwriter, Willie Hutch, work on re-writing the lyrics. Davis pitched it to Motown boss Berry Gordy, who made his own changes and took a songwriting credit.

Gordy also co-wrote the first three Jackson 5 hits, but with the team of Freddie Perren, Fonce Mizell and Deke Richards, which he called “The Corporation.” All of these early Jackson 5 songs were recorded in Los Angeles using session musicians from the area.

LYRICS

“I’ll Be There”

You and I must make a pact
We must bring salvation back
Where there is love, I’ll be there (I’ll be there)
I’ll reach out my hand to you
I’ll have faith in all you do
Just call my name and I’ll be there (I’ll be there)

And oh, I’ll be there to comfort you
Build my world of dreams around you, I’m so glad that I found you
I’ll be there with a love that’s strong
I’ll be your strength, I’ll keep holding on
(Holding on, holding on, holding on) Yes, I will. Yes, I will

Let me fill your heart with joy and laughter
Togetherness, girl, is all I’m after
Whenever you need me, I’ll be there (I’ll be there)
I’ll be there to protect you (Yeah, baby)
With an unselfish love that respects you
Just call my name and I’ll be there (I’ll be there)

And oh, I’ll be there to comfort you
Build my world of dreams around you, I’m so glad that I found you
I’ll be there with a love that’s strong
I’ll be your strength, I’ll keep holding on
Hoo-hoo (Holding on, holding on, holding on) Yes, I will. Yes, I will

If you should ever find someone new
I know he better be good to you
‘Cause if he doesn’t, I’ll be there (I’ll be there)

Don’t you know, baby, yeah, yeah
I’ll be there, I’ll be there
Just call my name (I’ll be there), I’ll be there
Just look over your shoulders, honey! Ooh
I’ll be there, I’ll be there
Whenever you need me (I’ll be there), I’ll be there

Don’t you know, baby, yeah, yeah
I’ll be there, I’ll be there
Just call my name (I’ll be there), I’ll be there
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
I’ll be there, I’ll be there
