The Jackson 5 wrote and produced two songs for a group of sisters called MDLT Willis in 1974. The letters MDLT were the initials of their 1st names: Maxine, Diane, Laverne, & Tina. The songs were on a single that was released on Joseph's short lived label called Ivory Tower International Records. The record wasn't successful (#89 on the R&B chart) so the other songs the group recorded were never released.
