Hum Along and Dance is a song written by Norman Whitfield and Barrett Strong for Motown. The song was originally recorded by Motown group The Temptations. It would be covered by other Motown acts Rare Earth and The Jackson 5 . The song appeared as the closing track for side A of their 1973 album G.I.T.: Get It Together. Motown did not allow the Jacksons to play their own instruments or write and produce their own material, and the lack of creative freedom would cause the group to leave for CBS Records within two years of making this recording.
