This was recorded after four of the original Jackson 5 left Motown to gain greater creative control. Jermaine stayed behind because he was in the awkward position of being married to Motown president Berry Gordy Jr's daughter. He therefore embarked on a solo career there while the remaining brothers switched labels and drafted in youngest brother, Randy. Had this decision not been taken, it is doubtful Michael Jackson would ever have been given the opportunity to become the icon he developed into. Marvin Gaye and even Stevie Wonder had to threaten to run down their contracts before Gordy would allow them to make the music their hearts dictated. Just imagine, no Off the Wall, no Thriller, no What's Going On, no Talking Book, no Songs in the Key of Life. It doesn't bear thinking about! Curiously, although Blame It On The Boogie was written by Michael Jackson, he is an English songwriter who happened to share the King of Pop's name. He wrote the song with Stevie Wonder in mind but was persuaded to record it himself using the handle Mick Jackson. At around the same time, people from The Jacksons new label, Epic, were looking for material, heard Mick Jackson's original in Europe and took a recording back to the group, who liked it and were no doubt amused by the strange coincidence. Mick Jackson wasn't about to miss the opportunity to have The Jacksons record his song and its predictable popularity played a large part in the chart success of his own version.

You should also check out their "Triumph" album with the excellent tracks "Can you feel It," "Lovely One," "Time Waits for No One," and "Walk Right Now."

He spanned a few generations. Paul McCartney’s collaboration was genius. I’m sorry he bought the Beatle’s songs though. That would hurt.
