[ABOUT THE SHOW]

Echoing the city-wide celebration of 2017 of Aretha Franklin, which included in her honor as well as a mayoral key to the city, this year The Jackson 5 will be the honored legend. In addition to the hundreds of performers, the Jacksons themselves - Tito, Marlon, Jackie, and Jermaine - will perform live, outdoors and free-to-the-public. The mesmerizing highly polished 75-minute show also highlights brother Michael's legacy through the use of revolutionary digital technology.

[ABOUT THE JACKSONS]

Signed to Motown Records in 1969, The Jackson 5 recorded their first number one hit at Hitsville, U.S.A. on West Grand Boulevard, forever linking the Jackson family and the City of Detroit. Under the guidance of Motown CEO Berry Gordy, the Jacksons were among the first groups of black American performers to attain a crossover following and went on to release hit after hit, essentially transforming the musical landscape and bringing the world’s attention to Detroit.

Their infectious brand of funky pop-soul was a definite departure from the typically smooth, elegant Motown sound, as befitting the group's youth and the dawn of a new decade. That youth, coupled with the merchandising juggernaut that sprang up behind them, led to global acclaim. To this day, their music still holds up extremely  well as some of the most vibrant mainstream pop/R&B of its era.
