Ohhhh label me love so you can find me easy
Open me up girl any time that you need me
And when you find out the way you are you won’t have to look too far
I’ve been waiting, displaying the love that I’ve been saving

When you walk alone remember I’ll be waiting
With a heart and soul that’s all yours for the taking
Sitting here on the shelf hoping that you will help yourself
Your love moving, and grooving, here I am so start your choosing

The Jackson 5 were originally formed in 1963 under the name, The Jackson Brothers. The founding members were Jackie, Tito, Jermaine, and Marlon. Michael would join the group as the lead singer a year later, a move which pushed Jermaine to sing the backing vocals and play the lead guitar.

After participating in a series of talent shows, they entered the professional music scene in 1967, signing with Steeltown Records and releasing ten singles. In 1969, they left Steeltown Records in order to sign with Motown.

In 1975, most of the Jacksons had opted out of recording any more music for Motown, expressing desires to have creative control over their songs, as well as royalties. Learning that they were earning only 2.8% of royalties from Motown, Joe Jackson, the father and manager of the group, began to negotiate a lucrative contract with Epic records, which offered a royalty rate of 20% per record. The deal was completed in June 1975. As Motown owned the name The Jackson 5, the group simply renamed themselves The Jacksons.
