This was a very interesting documentary. I don't get why they keep mentioning Diana, wasn't like she pulled the strings [[blame Berry, he told her to go along with it). But anyway, I always wanted to hear more so from Gordon about how and why the Jacksons abruptly got out of their Steeltown contract to sign with Motown.
If I recall, wasn't Gordon able to keep the Jacksons from recording for Motown because they [[the Jacksons) had agreed to do an album for Steeltown?
Also I saw a very INTERESTING piece in this documentary about Joe Jackson being physically abusive to Katherine and sexually abusive to his kids but I felt like "nah I don't think I should post that because that'll be too much".
So I'm gonna leave this here. It's over an hour. Let me know your thoughts.
I wonder if the Jackson 5 had signed with Atlantic, would they have been as big of a deal as they were in Motown? Maybe Berry knew Atlantic wouldn't care for five singing black kids since Aretha, Wilson Pickett and Led Zeppelin were the only acts they were really supporting then.
