Motown’s most consistent hit machine during the early 1970s was the Jackson 5 fronted by a very youthful Michael Jackson as lead vocalist. This compilation covers all their 1970-71 hits. (US:12 UK:26)
“Because of their hit singles oriented approach to the music business, Motown Records fostered a lot of ‘singles bands’ who performed these amazingly brilliant pop songs, but whose albums numbered too many and had too much filler in them. It's these kinds of bands that are best consumed in the form of a Greatest Hits album.”
“If you're looking for an accessible, easily digestible music history lesson then this album should be your first stop. It's short, sweet, and lovely.”
“The Jackson 5 may have provided very sugary mainstream pop music, but that doesn't prevent these songs from being unbelievably melodic, expertly written and fantastically performed.”
“The Jackson 5 released many songs that are indispensable in a good pop collection. They were very talented and precocious singers, with good Motown material and some funky production. Better, indeed, than any child stars since.”
“One of the best albums of all time. There music never goes out of style. I grew up on these songs and I am having fun singing along.”
“This is a great LP. I am a huge fan of the Jackson 5 and Michael Jackson and I always find myself dancing to this stuff. It is outstanding. This album covers the best songs from their earliest period.”
