ARTIST BACKGROUND

About The Jackson 5

The Jackson 5 developed as a family group in Gary, Indiana, with Jackie, Tito, Jermaine, Marlon and Michael Jackson. Talent shows and club performances preceded their move to Motown. Bobby Taylor worked on early sessions, followed by Los Angeles recordings with the label's songwriting and production team. I Want You Back, ABC and I'll Be There established their early repertoire, while the brothers also began distinct solo careers.
