Jackson 5 received "Singing Group of the Year" by NAACP They Won a NAACP honor award four years 1970, 1971, 1972 and 1980.
I wonder how it would have turned out if they had moved to Arista or whatever.It is also rumored that he has spoken to a number of other major record companies, such as RCA, Atlantic and Arista, which under the chairmanship of Clive Davis, former president of Columbia, would like to lure Stevie Wonder into his nets
A lot of those 1960s & 1970s music & variety TV shows such as Soul Train were shot on videotape, and you can't really make an HD or 4K of that. Videotape was not invented when WWII was going on. Everything from that period was shot on film. Film can be scanned into HD, although maybe not as well with smaller size film like 16mm or less."Why is it so hard to find HD quality videos of the Jackson 5, but I can find crystal clear videos from WWII?"
Yeah, but I posted the YT quote bc it made me laugh.A lot of those 1960s & 1970s music & variety TV shows such as Soul Train were shot on videotape, and you can't really make an HD or 4K of that.

Film is really a series of individual photographs that can be scanned today. It's like when you take a picture on a film camera, you can get a paper print as a 4x6 or an 8x10. Tape does not have photos it's just a strip with magnetic material on it, you can only make a straight copy of it in the same quaity. it cannot be made larger like film reels. Technically it can be done, but you would just be losing picture quality by blowing tape footage up to a larger size. It won't be HD. Also a lot of those music performances on Youtube are from people who taped them from TV on VHS, maybe even tape copies like 3rd or 4th generation. They are not from the original footage, which are owned by TV networks, the producers of the shows, or even private collectors who bought them when studios were throwing them out. In some cases employees took the tapes/film instead of throwing them in the trash or destroying it like they were told to do. If it wasn't for people recording TV shows & made for TV movies in general when VCRs became popular, the footage wouldn't be online in the first place and most of it is very unlikely to be released on home video like DVD or Blu Ray, especially the more obscure stuff.
Very underrated song
Jackson 5 / Can You Remember
Today is National Album Day and this year they are focusing on debut albums. So I thought I'd post a song from the first J5 album.
This information is fascinating to me.THE BILLBOARD 200 ALBUMS CHART (U.S.A)

Wasn't around at the time obviously, but I believe most teen girls at the time were crazy about Jermaine, or so I've read. Michael was the most popular as a performer, but Jermaine was considered "the hot one" by many, partially because he was older and also the co-lead singer. Again, this is just from what I've read.Also, how well known (by name) were all the brothers? I feel like most bands only a couple standout members are usually known by name to the general public, so I'm curious how that looked with the Jacksons.
Really? I always thought Jackie was "the hot one"? lol I have no idea. I'm just guessing based on things I've read/seen. They are all handsome guys! No surprise to me there.Wasn't around at the time obviously, but I believe most teen girls at the time were crazy about Jermaine, or so I've read.

As for the other ones, I'm not entirely sure. Though I believe I saw a Jackie fangirl once lol.
Yeah perhaps. Could be confusing things here.Really? I always thought Jackie was "the hot one"? lol I have no idea. I'm just guessing based on things I've read/seen. They are all handsome guys! No surprise to me there.
See that's what I mean, I do think Michael was seen as like "the most talented" perhaps but since he was the youngest member during the J5 era, a lot of teen girls went for the older brothers. Maybe some very young girls, say age 11-13, had like a "baby's first crush" on Michael but that was probably it.I think we overplay young Michael’s popularity a bit. The older brothers all got hard cheers on stage as well because they were actually old enough to fancy. No 16 to 20 year old teens were gonna start swooning for 12 to 14 year old Michael.
Don’t forget Jermaine scored a top 10 solo hit in the same era as Michael’s solo hits. He was big.
I never noticed that sound til you mentioned itGreat performance.
I would still like to find a perfect rendition of that concert's audio, and complete.
(That "USB connected*" sound at 3:08 is ... well ... out of place )
*Or is it "USB disconnected"?)
