The Jackson 5 is an extremely popular quintet from Gary, Indiana. The group consisted of Jackie, Tito, Marlon, Jermaine and Michael. Their father, Joe Jackson, served as the group's manager and boss. The Jackson 5 is, arguably, the last great Motown act. A savvy and well choreographed group, they were the epitome of a teenybop band. In 1969 at the time of recording this act, Micheal was only 11 years old. Full of charisma and charm, he was adored by fans all over and it was obvious that Motown could profit by making him a solo act. This track topped both charts in 1969, making Michael the youngest person to ever be part of a #1 hit in the U.S. The Jackson 5 took the world of Motown music by storm releasing four consecutive number one hits. I Wan't You Back was the first.
