"Who's Lovin' You" is a Motown soul song, written in 1960 by William "Smokey" Robinson. The song has been recorded by many different artists including The Miracles 1960 original version, The Temptations, The Supremes, Terence Trent-D'arby, Brenda and The Tabulations, John Farnham, Human Nature and En Vogue. The most famous version is attributed to The Jackson 5. 12-year-old singer Shaheen Jafargholi performed the song at Michael Jackson's public memorial service in July 2009.
The most famous cover of "Who's Lovin' You", and the one most future covers were based upon, was recorded on August 7, 1969 by The Jackson 5. Michael Jackson was the lead singer on this recording, with his brothers Marlon, Tito, Jermaine, and Jackie on background vocals; Bobby Taylor of The Vancouvers served as producer. The Jackson 5 version of "Who's Lovin' You" was one of a number of early recordings the group made at the Hitsville U.S.A. recording studio in Detroit, Michigan, with the Funk Brothers on instrumentation. Just after recording this song, Berry Gordy moved the entire Jackson family to Los Angeles, California to record the hit pop songs he would co-write for the group with The Corporation.
"Who's Lovin' You", which was included on the first Jackson 5 LP, Diana Ross Presents the Jackson 5, was issued as the b-side to The Jackson 5's first single, "I Want You Back", released on October 14, 1969. The single went to #1 on both the pop and R&B charts.
The Jackson 5 performed this on their first Ed Sullivan Show appearance.
