(1971)"Maybe Tomorrow" was a hit single recorded by American soul family quintet The Jackson 5, in 1971.
The ballad was originally supposed to have been sung (possibly in a different production) by Sammy Davis, Jr. but for various reasons, the entertainer could not get on the schedule to do the song and the song was then given to the Jackson 5. It peaked at #3 on the Billboard Hot R&B Singles chart, and at #20 on the Billboard Hot 100. It is the first single by The Jackson 5 not to reach the top five in the charts.
"Maybe Tomorrow" was included on the Jackson 5's album of the same title, and was later sampled by rapper Ghostface Killah on his 1996 song "All That I Got Is You".
