An Angel's Voice

Jackson 5's flip sides such as "Who's Lovin' You," a knockout performance by Michael with all the hallmark of a great soul artist, illustrated his remarkable maturity. It seemed inevitable that young MJ would spin off as a solo artist. The aching ballad "Got To Be There" was his first solo single, released October 7, 1971, and it shot to no. 4 on both the pop and R&B charts. His debut solo album Got To Be There was released in January 1972 and reached the pop Top 20. The LP also spun off "Rockin' Robin," a cover of a fifties smash that hit no. 2 pop and R&B, and "I Wanna Be Where You Are" (top 20 pop/no. 2 R&B)... Michael's solo biography
