What was the title of The Jackson 5’s first album released by Motown in 1969?

The Jackson 5’s first Motown album was titled Diana Ross Presents The Jackson 5. Motown released it in December 1969, using the title to associate the new group with superstar singer Diana Ross.

The album included “I Want You Back,” the group’s debut single and first US number-one hit. It also contained “Who’s Lovin’ You,” a cover of the Miracles song that showcased Michael Jackson’s lead vocal at age 11. The record introduced the brothers’ energetic blend of soul, pop and youthful choreography.

Despite the album title, Diana Ross did not form the group or serve as its regular manager. Motown’s marketing connected her name to the group’s introduction, while Berry Gordy’s label developed their national career. The group’s subsequent albums included ABC and Third Album, both released in 1970.
