How many Xmas cds did the Jacksons do? Was it just the one? "Lack of home training crosses all boundaries." | |

Just the 1970 Jackson 5 LP. You can take a black guy to Nashville from right out of the cotton fields with bib overalls, and they will call him R&B. You can take a white guy in a pin-stripe suit who’s never seen a cotton field, and they will call him country. ~ O. B. McClinton | |

It seems almost impossible that the Jackson and their label in 1984, CBS-Epic, would not require that they do a new album for the holidays after their massively huge P.R. from their tour.
Don't you think? | |

I do not mean impossible as in there must be a low profile 1980s Christmas single or LP from them. I mean, it does not make sense in the hyper-opportunistic world of corporate pop music. | |

Well by then, MJ was certainly high-profile and known for being a Jehovah's Witness, so it would make no sense for 1984. When they did the Christmas album for Motown, it was as part of their mass appeal and image at the time. | |

They were working for themselves basically, so the label didn't really require them to make a particular type of album. They had the freedom to do what they want basically, post Destiny.
The Motown Christmas album, they werre working under Berry as tp for him. So whatever Berry said, goes. Berry wanted a Xmas record, so he got one, made in a week or so in the summer of 1970. PRINCE: Always and Forever
