A
lot of people see them as a simple boy''s group playing bubblepop music and
having had several hits in their early career, but does not dedicate a special
interest.
Other people, like us, consider them as a key step in the career of the greatest artist of all time. The 4 successful debut singles (I Want You Back, ABC, The Love You Save and I'll Be There) are only the visible part of an amazing musical iceberg.
The Jackson 5 are a legacy. The legacy of a family who worked hard to reach the summits. The legacy of soul music. The legacy of Show Business and entertainment.
"We're here to entertain you ..." said the song from the album "Joyful Jukebox Music".
40 years later, their music is still there to entertain us.
Certains les voient comme un simple groupe d'enfants jouant de la musique bubblepop et ayant eu plusieurs tubes en début de carrière, mais ne vouent pas un intérêt particulier.
D'autres les considère comme une étape clé de la carrière du plus grand artiste de tous les temps. Les 4 succès des débuts (I Want You Back, ABC, The Love You Save et I'll Be There) ne sont que la partie visible de l'iceberg musical époustouflant que constitue le répertoire des J5.
Les Jackson 5 c'est avant tout un héritage. Celui d'une famille qui s'est battue pour atteindre les sommets. Celui de la soul music. Celui du show business et du spectacle.
"Nous sommes là pour vous divertir..." disait la
chanson de l'album "Joyful Jukebox Music". 40 ans après,
leur message est plus que jamais d'actualité.

The Pearl
Before
it became the hit we all know, Mama's
Pearl was entitled Guess Who's Making Whoopie with Your Girlfriend,
a curious song title for a young leader... All the lyrics had to be modificated,
the instrumentation was also changed to become the version that was released
as the 3rd track of the side 2 of the Jackson 5's Third Album! Exclusive from
jackson5abc.com!
Written and composed by... The Jackson 5
In 1974,
the Jackson 5 wrote and produced a song called "What's Your Game".
MDLT Willis sang this track on this 7' single, and performed on Soul Train.
It's a nice funky track. We don't know if it was written by every brother,
or just 2 or 3 of them... Just listen, and tell us what do you think about
that.
The Jackson Find
This was supposed to be the story of the Jackson Five’s first single, cut
in Chicago in 1967. But while writing it, Jake Austen picked up the trail
of a tape nobody knew existed: the earliest known studio recording of Michael
Jackson and his brothers.
