Synopsis

Amazon.com
If Michael Jackson had retired instead of going solo and umpteen-platinum, he would still be a revered figure in pop and soul history for the action-packed singles he cut as the diminutive, Frankie Lymon-like frontman (sic) for one of Motown's true trailblazing acts. Some would argue he was never better. More extensive anthologies of the Jacksons' hit-laden career have been compiled since this stopgap disc was issued in 1971, but this is still where listeners can get the primordial prime 5 (alas, without those awesome dance steps) without having to wade through some pretty uneven LPs. Highlights include the infectious "ABC" and "I Want You Back," the emotional "I'll Be There," and "The Love You Save," a phase-shifting tour de force. --Don Harrison

CD Reviews

Way back when
06/16/1999
(4 out of 5 stars)

"The Jackson 5 had three or four songs that are indispensible in a good pop collection. They were very talented and precocious singers, with good Motown material and some funky production. Better, indeed, than any child stars since."
You Can't Go Wrong...

"You cannot go wrong with a Jackson 5 greatest hit collection, unless you're not a Motown fan or a bubble gum fan. I always liked the Jackson 5 but didn't own any of their albums until well after 1991/1992. With my falling in "love" with Michael Jackson & his music, I also started buying Jackson 5 and the Jacksons. 11 tracks of fame for the Jackson 5. Some more fame than others but great nonetheless. Anywhere from Never Can Say Goodbye to I Want You Back and of course I'll Be There is on the album. It surely brings you back!! :-)"
