The Jackson 5 signed with Motown Records in 1969. They left the label in the mid-1970s because of family tensions, a contract standoff, and frustration over Motown’s refusal to let them write and produce their own music. The group then moved to Epic Records as the Jacksons. They released The Jacksons, their first album with Epic, in 1976. Jermaine Jackson, who married the daughter of Motown founder Berry Gordy, stayed with Motown as a solo performer, and the youngest Jackson brother, Randy, replaced him in the group.
