== History ==
The brothers came from Gary, Indiana. Bobby Taylor brought them to Motown's attention in 1968; Diana Ross helped introduce them publicly in Los Angeles the following year. The success of 'I Want You Back' began a run of widely heard singles and television appearances.<ref name="jackson5-museum" />

== Music and repertoire ==
The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame describes their sound as drawing on vocal groups, contemporary R&B and classic Motown. Young lead singing and tightly shaped backing parts gave those resources a distinctive presentation. 'I Want You Back', 'ABC', 'The Love You Save' and 'I'll Be There' were the group's first four chart-topping releases.<ref name="jackson5-hall">[https://rockhall.com/inductees/jackson-5/ Rock and Roll Hall of Fame: The Jackson 5, sound and influence].
