The Jackson 5 on ABCs Hollywood Palace
Five brothers from Gary, Indiana stepped onto ABCs Hollywood Palace for their first national TV appearance 57 years ago. Diana Ross introduced an 11 year old Michael Jackson and The Jackson 5 during the set. They opened with Sing a Simple Song before sliding into Can You Remember. Then they dropped their brand new Motown hit I Want You Back. This performance is described as rewriting the rules of television. It signaled the arrival of the next chapter in music. History didn't just happen that night it sang and danced.
