<P> As the Jackson Five became Motown's main marketing focus, the label capitalized on the group's youth appeal, licensing dozens of products, including the J5 heart logo located on Johnny Jackson's drum set, the group's album covers, stickers, posters and coloring books, as well as a board game and a Saturday morning cartoon series produced by Rankin / Bass . In view of their lack of covers on otherwise predominantly white teen - oriented magazines including Tiger Beat and Seventeen, a black publication, Right On!, began in 1971 and initially focused heavily on the Jackson 5, with at least one of the five members adorning a single cover between January 1972 and April 1974 . In addition, the Jackson 5 appeared in several television specials including Diana Ross' 1971 special, Diana! . Later that September, they starred on their first of two Motown - oriented television specials, Goin' Back to Indiana; their second, The Jackson 5 Show, debuted in November of the following year . During the Vietnam War period, the group was often joined by Bob Hope on USO - benefited performances to support military troops . </P> <P> In order to continue increasing sales, Motown launched Michael Jackson's solo career in 1971, with the single, "Got to Be There", released in November of that year . Following several top 40 follow - ups, Michael's 1972 song, "Ben", became his first to top the charts . Jermaine was the second to release a solo project; his most successful hit of the period was a cover of the doo - wop song, "Daddy's Home". </P> <P> By 1972, despite Michael and Jermaine's solo successes, the Jackson 5's own records began plummeting on the charts . Partially credited to the changing musical landscape, the Corporation, which had produced most of their hit singles, split up in 1973 . Focusing their attention on the emerging disco scene, the brothers recorded the charted song, "Get It Together", followed by their hit, "Dancing Machine", their first to crack the top ten since "Sugar Daddy" nearly three years before . Despite those successes, most of the Jackson 5's follow - ups were not as successful and by 1973, Joe Jackson had grown tired of Motown's uneasiness to continue producing hits for the brothers . Joe began producing a nightclub act around his sons and daughters, first starting in Las Vegas and spreading throughout the states . </P> <P> By 1975, most of the Jacksons opted out of recording any more music for Motown desiring creative control and royalties . Learning that they were earning only 2.8% of royalties from Motown, Joe Jackson began negotiating to have his boys sign a lucrative contract with another company, settling for Epic Records, which had offered a royalty rate of 20% per record, signing with the company in June 1975 . Absent from the deal was Jermaine Jackson, who decided to stay in Motown, followed by his marriage to Berry's daughter Hazel . Randy Jackson formally replaced him . After initially suing them for breach of contract, Motown allowed the group to record for Epic, as long as they changed their name, since the name Jackson 5 was owned by Motown . The brothers renamed themselves, simply, the Jacksons . </P>
