21. Katherine Files for Divorce

Posted by vivomi.com - Adm on Thursday, June 10, 2010, In : the Michael Jackson Book Collection 

21. Katherine Files for Divorce 
 
Katherine Jackson had tolerated many years of unfaithfulness from 
Joseph. She knew he was cheating on her. Everyone knew. Joseph 
had been on the road with the boys for years and having brief 
encounters with their groupies. Not only had her friends told her, 
several of Joseph's more audacious girlfriends had telephoned the 
house over the years to brag about their encounters with him. ‘I 
don't want those women calling the house,’ she would scream at 
Joseph, ...

20. Rockin' Robin and Ben

20. Rockin' Robin and Ben
 
By winter of 1972, Motown had released two more solo singles by 
Michael Jackson, the first being ‘Rockin' Robin’. While Michael 
twitters his way through the song, the session player bangs out the 
easy ditty on the piano to create a song that was irresistible. 
‘Rockin’ Robin' became an even bigger success than ‘Got to Be 
There’. The song peaked in the same position for Michael as the 
original did for the late Bobby Day, at number two. 


One early record of M...

19. Groupies

19. Groupies 
 
Young Tito Jackson may have been off the open market, but Jackie 
and Jermaine were young, single and ready to explore whatever 
fame might bring their way in terms of female companionship. 

 
Joseph had been a terrible example to them in the past, and he 
didn't improve with time. In fact, when the boys became famous, 
he starting having liaisons with their fans! With him as their guide, 
was there any reason to think the brothers would act in a 
responsible manner? By 1972, the older ...

18. Tito Marries

18. Tito Marries 
 
Along with their incredible success in the music industry came, for 
the Jacksons, the inevitable lure of available women. Women of all 
shapes, sizes and colours began to proposition them, appearing 
backstage after concerts and offering to do all sorts of ‘favours’ for them. 
Though Michael and Marlon were too young, Jermaine and 
 
Jackie saw no reason not to take advantage of their young fans' 
overworked libidos. Tito wasn't really interested in groupies, 
though. He just...

17. Growing Up in the Public Eye

17. Growing Up in the Public Eye 

 
 
It's always tempting, when dissecting a person's life, to go back in 
time and assign blame for the way things turned out, but it's not 
always fair. Certainly, Joseph and Katherine had the best intentions 
when they were raising their family, and didn't intend to harm their 
children. It's the rare parent, one would hope, who purposely sets out to completely screw up his kids' lives. If Joseph had told his 

brood to forget about show business, and focus on lives...

16. Michael's First Solo Record

Posted by vivomi.com - Adm on Thursday, June 10, 2010, In : the Michael Jackson Book Collection 

16. Michael's First Solo Record
 
Joseph Jackson always had his eye on the competition, namely the
Osmond Brothers, a family group from Salt Lake City, Utah. In
June 1971, MGM Records released ‘Sweet and Innocent’ by the
youngest member of the group, Donny Osmond, as a solo act.

That record's success all but guaranteed him teen-star status in the
predominantly white teenybopper magazines. Because of their
colour, The Jackson 5 could never be perceived as teen idols in
those magazines, desp...

15. Joseph and Katherine Buy an Estate

15. Joseph and Katherine Buy an Estate

 
On 5 May 1971, after the boys returned from another national tour, the Jacksons moved into their large estate at 4641 Hayvenhurst in Encino, California, the one in which Joseph, Katherine and miscellaneous other Jacksons (who aren't Michael and Janet) still live today.

Joseph and Katherine purchased the property for $250,000; they moved in a day after Katherine's forty-first birthday.
Katherine had asked Joseph not to sell the two-bedroom home in Gary, ...

14. It just kept gettin' better…
 
The Jackson 5 made their first concert appearance as a Motown
attraction at the Philadelphia Convention Center on Saturday
evening, 2 May 1970. Despite their terrific record sales, no one
could have guessed how popular they had become in barely five
months. More than thirty-five hundred screaming fans mobbed
Philadelphia International Airport hoping to catch a glimpse of the
young brothers. Only a huge force of Philadelphia's finest and
airport security offi...

13. 'ABC' and 'The Love You Save'

Posted by vivomi.com - Adm on Thursday, June 10, 2010, In : the Michael Jackson Book Collection 

13. ‘ABC’ and ‘The Love You Save’

 
By the end of 1969, Michael Jackson, now eleven years old and reunited with his mother, was a bubbly, energetic and happy youngster. ‘All I want now is to see how far we can go as a family,’ he told Soul magazine reporter Judy Spiegelman. ‘I like show business, Hollywood, and all that stuff, the things people like Berry Gordy do to make you look good. I'm real excited about things.’

In December, Motown Records released the brothers' first alb...
