The Jackson 5, often simply referred to as The Jacksons, are a quintessential American family music group that emerged from the mid-1960s' soul and pop scenes. Initially composed of brothers Jackie, Tito, Jermaine, Marlon, and Michael Jackson, they first caught the public's attention after winning a major talent show in 1966. This victory led them to sign with Steeltown Records and, subsequently, land a contract with Motown Records in 1968. It was under Motown's wing that they skyrocketed to fame with their first four singles ("I Want You Back," "ABC," "The Love You Save," and "I'll Be There") consecutively hitting No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100, an unprecedented achievement that established them as formidable forces in the music industry.

The group’s performances, characterized by energetic dance moves and impressive harmonies, became a defining image of the era's pop culture. Michael's extraordinary talent as the group’s lead singer, coupled with the choreography and vibrant stage presentations, contributed to their status as icons of the 1970s. Beyond their remarkable string of hits, The Jackson 5 left an indelible mark on music history through their groundbreaking impact on Black musical artistry and their influence on a generation of artists to come. Their music continues to be celebrated and rediscovered by new audiences, as evidenced by the release of archival materials and live recordings, such as those from The Ed Sullivan Show, which showcase the raw talent and energy that catapulted The Jackson 5 into the annals of music legends.
