As a PR stunt Motown Records decided to leak to the press the untruth that Diana Ross was the person who discovered The Jackson 5 (she was introduced to them). Ross formally introduced the family collective to the public at a Beverly Hills club called Daisy on August 11, 1969. Michael left the audience spellbound. Their first Motown release – and their only single from their album Diana Ross Presents The Jackson 5 - 'I Want You Back' reached number one in the US in January 1970.
