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 | |

The Stevie Wonder 'album' wasn't a full album, just 3 or 4 songs. Stevie confirmed this himself when a member of the online Michael Jackson Archives FB group tracked him down a year or two ago. One of those songs was Buttercup and another was an older version of You're Supposed To Keep Your Love For Me, with Jermaine on lead and the brothers on backgrounds. | |

I've read about the J5 version a few years ago. 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.

That's what MJ said in his book. Jermaine stayed with Motown out of loyalty to his first wife, whom happened to be Berry Gordy's daughter. | |

Motown also sued the group and Joe Jackson and said that they owned the name "Jackson 5". That's why the brothers became "The Jacksons".

It was in 75 and they recorded their first album with CBS in 76. | |

Motown released Joyful Jukebox Music in 1976, which was unreleased J5 songs. I think they were trying to steal sales from CBS.

Jermaine married Berry Gordy's daughter.
Marvin Gaye married Berry Gordy's sister.
Didn't these guys know that those relationships could create 'conflict of interest' problems later on? | |

I guess Berry Gordy figured this out during the filming of Mahogany when he had problems with Diana, and also with her bum rushing her way into The Wiz movie, in which Stephanie Mills was said to be the original choice.

Dude was this close to getting fired from WWF in like 1996 and now is the Vice Presedent of the company. PRINCE: Always and Forever
