Maybe Tomorrow is the fifth studio album by The Jackson 5, released in April 1971 by Motown Records. Lead single “Never Can Say Goodbye” reached #2 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100. The album showed the group’s range expanding into smoother soul territory at the same time as Michael was preparing his solo debut.
Jackson 5 Christmas Album is the fourth studio album by The Jackson 5, released on 15 October 1970 by Motown. The first holiday album from the group features their now-classic versions of “Santa Claus Is Comin’ to Town”, “Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas” and “I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus”. It reached #1 on the Billboard Christmas Albums chart.
Third Album is the third studio album by The Jackson 5, released on 8 September 1970 by Motown Records. Released only three months after ABC, the album includes their fourth consecutive U.S. #1 single, “I’ll Be There” — making them the only act in history to have their first four singles all reach #1 on the Hot 100.
ABC is the second studio album by The Jackson 5, released on 8 May 1970 by Motown. The title track became their second U.S. #1 single, knocking The Beatles’ “Let It Be” from the top spot. Two further singles — “The Love You Save” and “I’ll Be There” — also reached #1, making ABC the engine of one of the most extraordinary debut runs in pop history.
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.
Break of Dawn,” a sensual and romantic ballad from Michael Jackson’s Invincible album, showcases his signature vocal delivery and heartfelt lyrics. The track, co-produced by Jackson and Dr. Freeze, stands out for its smooth instrumentation and intimate themes, making it a fan favourite among his lesser-known works.
Forever, Michael is Michael Jackson’s fourth and final solo studio album for Motown Records, released on 16 January 1975. The album marked Jackson’s emergence into adolescence with a more sophisticated sound. The lead single “We’re Almost There” reached #7 on the U.S. R&B chart and #54 on the Hot 100. “One Day in Your Life”, initially overlooked, was rereleased in 1981 and became a #1 hit on the UK Singles Chart.
Music & Me is Michael Jackson’s third solo studio album, released in April 1973 by Motown Records. Coming after the chart-topping Ben, the album underperformed commercially with no U.S. top-40 singles, peaking at #92 on the Billboard 200. Despite the limited success, the title track and the Stevie Wonder cover “With a Child’s Heart” remain fan favourites.
Ben is Michael Jackson’s second solo studio album, released on 4 August 1972 by Motown Records. Recorded when Jackson was 13, the album takes its title from his recording of the theme from the 1972 horror sequel Ben (about a killer rat). The single reached #1 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 — Jackson’s first solo chart-topper — and earned an Academy Award nomination for Best Original Song.
