My GirlThe Jackson 5

I've got sunshine
On a cloudy day
When it's cold outside
I've got the month of May

Well, I guess you'll say
What can make me feel this way?
My girl
Talkin' 'bout my girl

I've got so much honey
The bees envy me
I've got a sweeter song
Than the birds in the trees

Well, I guess you'll say
What can make me feel this way?
My girl
Talkin' 'bout my girl

Ooooh, Hoooo

Hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey

I love my baby
She makes me feel proud
I'll climb the highest mountain
And say it out loud

I don't need no money
Fortune or fame
I've got all the riches, baby
One man can claim

Well, I guess you'll say
What can make me feel this way?
My girl
Talkin' 'bout my girl
Talkin' bout my girl
I've got sushine on cloudy day
With my girl
I've even got the month of May
With my girl
My girl

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.
