Music Break: The Jackson 5

Michael
From 1964 to 1989, the Jacksons played from a repertoire of R&B, soul, pop and later disco. During their six and a half-year Motown tenure, The Jackson 5 were one of the biggest pop-music phenomena of the 1970s and they were the first act in recording history to have their first four major label singles ("I Want You Back", "ABC", "The Love You Save", and "I'll Be There") reach the top of the Billboard Hot 100. My favorite tidbit is that the group helped launch the career of one of the greatest performers to ever grace a stage: Michael J. Jackson.
Bonus: The Jackson 5 Performance at the Motown 25!
