Diana Ross and The Jackson 5 – 1970

The astronomical rise of Motown legends the Jackson Five was indisputably intertwined with that of Diana Ross. The lead singer of the Supremes was credited with discovering the band of brothers before her solo career took off.

They performed as the opening act for the Supremes and their 1969 debut record, consequently, was titled “Diana Ross Presents the Jackson 5.” The diva is pictured in this January 1970 photo with the family singing sensations (from top left): Tito, Jackie, Jermaine, Michael (seated) and Marlon.
