Remember This Jackson 5 TV Show?....

I have just seen the VHS of their 1971 Going Back To Indiana TV Show. That medley they do is funky and the costume were tight. My favorite part was the basketball segment. So, has anyone ever saw this TV Show and ever heard the album?

The show premiered on September, 19 1971, a week after the J5 Cartoon's first episode.
Goin Back To Indiana reunited people like Bill Cosby,Bobby Darin,Tom Smother, Diana Ross and Basketball players Rosey Grier and Bill Russell.
The show was such a ratings winner that Motown issed a TV soundtrack album that went Gold.
The best part of the show is of course the concert recorded on May 1971 at the Market Square Arena in Indianapolis, Indiana.
The funkiest parts were the J5's renditions of Sly's I Wanna Take U Higher and the Interlude Walk On/The Love You Save.
Walk On is the only song of the Jacksons Motown catalogue in which they are credited as songwriters (with Suzanne De Passe).
