Jackson 5

The Jackson 5 were an American music group formed in 1964 in Gary, Indiana, consisting of the five brothers: Jackie, Tito, Jermaine, Marlon, and a young Michael Jackson. They started performing locally before being discovered by the Motown label.

The group signed with Motown Records in 1968, a move that introduced them to a global audience. Under the guidance of Motown, they achieved unprecedented success and became a crossover pop sensation.

Their very first single released under Motown, "I Want You Back," hit number one on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1970. This made them the first recording act to have their first four singles reach the top of the charts.

Yes, when the group left Motown Records for Epic Records in 1976, they were forced to change their name due to trademark issues. Jermaine Jackson stayed at Motown, and the group became known as The Jacksons, with younger brother Randy joining the lineup.
