Oh, I’ve Been Bless’dThe Jackson 5

Released: January 16, 1979

Oh Oh I’ve been blessed
Someone Heaven sent
Someone I can’t forget
Oh Oh I’ve been blessed
With a smile that’s true come forth for you
I used to walk down a crowded street
With a broken heart and love I’ll repeat
Just wasted years Just tasting tears
I was so confused and then I met you
And that heavy load that i used to bear
You said bring it to me, bring it to me
You said darling
Oh I’ve been blessed
From the day we met til I marry ya
Oh Oh I’ve been blessed
With a sunny sky
And a girl thats mine
Just like a bird with a broken wing
Into your arms I gladly came
You smiled at me and I fell in love
In a minute I was torn apart
And a sound was heard that shook the earth
It was my heartbeat
Tears beckon oh oh
Move on out teardrops move on out oh
I’ve been blessed
Someone heaven sent
Someone I can't forget
Oh Oh I’ve been blessed
With a smile thats true come forth for you
Oooh oh truly truly truly truly yeah
All the booksmen that have walked this land
You can find true love as safe as a map
All the man just make your plan
We can walk together making plans forever
Ooooooh oh I wanna know haven't you been blessed?
Love forever
Ooh Oh I’ve been blessed
Ooh Ooh Oh I’ve been blessed

The Jackson 5

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.
