| Description | UNIMEDIA10007 - IMAGE 9991000704 - MICHAEL JACKSON was born in Gary, Indiana, the second-youngest brother of seven and the eighth of ten children of Joseph and Katherine Jackson. In 1966, after taking co-lead singing duties with brother Jermaine, the group's name was changed to THE JACKSON 5. The group played local clubs and bars, building up a following and eventually signing a contract with Motown Records in 1968. The group hit stardom, with their first four singles charting at number one on the Billboard Hot 100. Jackson also released and charted many solo hit singles as part of the Jackson 5 franchise, including the hits GOT TO BE THERE,BEN, and a remake of Bobby Day's ROCKIN' ROBIN..The group's sales declined after 1973, and the group chafed under Motown's strict refusal to allow the Jacksons creative control or input. In 1976, the group signed a new contract with CBS Records (first joining the Philadelphia International division and later moving over to Epic Records). Upon learning that the Jackson 5 had signed a contract with another label, Motown sued the group for breach of contract..As a result of the legal proceedings, which were complicated by the fact that Jermaine Jackson had just married the daughter of Motown president Berry Gordy, the Jacksons lost the rights to use the ‘Jackson 5' name and logo and also lost Jermaine, who wanted to stay in Motown. They changed their name to simply ‘The Jacksons,’ featuring youngest brother Randy in Jermaine's place, and continued their successful career, touring internationally and releasing six albums between 1976 and 1984, with Jermaine eventually re-joining in 1983, making them a sextet..In 1978, Jackson starred as the scarecrow in THE WIZ with former-labelmate DIANA ROSS playing Dorothy.The musical film's songs were arranged by famed producer QUINCY JONES, who established a partnership with Jackson during the film's production and agreed to produce his first solo album in four years.
