Jackson 5

"Third Album" is The Jackson 5's third studio album originally released in 1970. The record made it to number 4 on the Billboard charts and number 1 on the R&B charts. It features hit pop single "I'll Be There" as well as "Mama's Pearl", Simon and Garfunkel's "Bridge Over Troubled Water" and more.

With worldwide sales closing in on six million copies, the 1970 Jackson 5 album "ABC" remains among the group's most successful. Containing two number one hit singles, both enduring classics, the album spent 50 weeks on the Billboard 200, peaking at number four.

Live In Tokyo is a bootleg CD by the Jackson 5 from the group's tour of Asia when they stopped in Tokyo on 22 April, 1973 at the Imperial Palace. This soundboard recording shows what they were about before Michael Jackson left the group, and shows the unity the brothers had at the time. Some of the dialogue they do with each other does not work fantastically with the Japanese crowd but it works for everyone else who get it, the it being brotherly arguments, fake or otherwise.

A stellar assortment of funky jams and sweet ballads sent this 1971 album to #11. "Never Can Say Goodbye" and the title tune soared up the charts; they join "I Will Find a Way"; "It's Great to Be Here"; "Honey Chile", and more, with truly amazing performances by young Michael.

The Jackson 5's exuberant and funky pop-soul hits made them one of the biggest pop phenomena of the early '70s, and as the Jacksons, they thrived well into the next decade with a record-breaking tour that enhanced their legacy of high-caliber showmanship. Launched to fame in 1970 with the consecutive number one pop hits "I Want You Back," "ABC," "The Love You Save," and "I'll Be There," the siblings were the last great group to come from Motown's hitmaking machine before Marvin Gaye and Stevie Wonder shifted the label's focus to more individual visions. A departure from the typically smooth and elegant Motown sound, their youthful music – combined with a merchandising juggernaut – inevitably got them tagged as a bubblegum group. They were far more talented than that genre label would suggest, especially with respect to lead singer Michael. Moreover, their material, while sunny and upbeat, didn't pander to its audience. When all but Jermaine moved from Motown to Epic in the mid-'70s, they gained creative control – though they had to change their name – and increased their number of Top Ten hits from eight to 11. The Jacksons scored one of the biggest disco-era hits with "Shake Your Body (Down to the Ground)" and appealed to rock audiences with the Mick Jagger collaboration "State of Shock." The latter hit coincided with the group's blockbuster Victory tour, after which the Jacksons, without Michael, would record one more studio album. Michael, Jackie, Tito, Jermaine, Marlon, and Randy (who had replaced Jermaine) last performed together in 2001, four years after they were inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, and eight years before Michael's death. Jackie, Tito, and Marlon have continued to tour well into the 2020s with many of their performances in tribute to Michael.

The only Christmas album ever recorded by the Jackson 5, this 1970 release has sold over three-and-a-half million copies and features the brothers' hit version of "Santa Claus Is Coming To Town" along with several other holiday favourites and a couple of Motown-style original Christmas songs. Most of the Motown artists found time to record one, sometimes two or three albums for Christmas, and the young Jackson 5 were obviously candidates for being added to the list.

When the Jackson 5 hit the ground running with the undeniable classic "I Want You Back" as their debut single, they exploded into almost overnight worldwide popularity, immediately becoming the biggest act on the Motown label. Their hot streak of hits and immense renown would mutate upward more than it would really slow down, with Michael Jackson's solo career becoming one of the most commercially successful in the history of music. Things wouldn't be as bright for Tito, Jermaine, and the rest as they were for Michael, but in those early days, they were all in it together and working together constantly. Come and Get It: The Rare Pearls is both evidence to the staggering work ethic of the band and a picture of a young group on an electric creative roll, collecting almost three albums' worth of unreleased material from those early Motown days, circa 1969-1973.
