The young Michael Jackson took co-lead singing duties w The young Michael Jackson took co-lead singing duties with brother Jermaine when the group`s name changed from "The Jackson Brothers" to "The Jackson 5" in 1966. The group eventually auditioned for, and signed a contract with, Motown Records in 1968.[24] They hit stardom with their first four singles, "I Want You Back", "ABC", "The Love You Save", and "I`ll Be There", which charted at #1 on the Billboard Hot 100, the first time ever a group had pulled off that feat.[23] As a solo artist, Jackson released a total of four studio albums with Motown, among them Got to Be There in 1971 and Ben in the following year. These were released as part of the Jackson 5 franchise and produced successful singles such as "Got to Be There", "Ben", and a remake of Bobby Day`s "Rockin` Robin". Between 1971 and 1975, Jackson`s voice "descended ever so slightly from boy soprano to his current androgynous high tenor." more >> << less
