Diana Ross Presents The Jackson 5 is the debut studio album by The Jackson 5, released on 18 December 1969 by Motown Records. Despite the title, Diana Ross had a marketing role only — the brothers were actually discovered by Bobby Taylor and groomed by Berry Gordy and producer Hal Davis. The album produced their first U.S. #1 single, “I Want You Back”, and peaked at #5 on the Billboard 200.
