After winning a local talent show, The Jackson 5 signed to Steeltown Records in their native Gary in 1967. Michael was nine years old at the time. During their brief time with the imprint they released tracks such as the above 'Big Boy' and 'We Don't Have To Be Over 21 To Fall In Love'. The still impossibly young Michael was fast becoming the perfect showman and was promoted to frontman at around the time they signed for legendary label Motown Records in 1968. (Image: WENN.com)
