Comment:

Like most adolescents, the Jackson 5 had their share of growing pains, chafing under Motown house rules and finally bolting (minus Jermaine) for new territory as just "the Jacksons." Hooking up with Philly soul architects Gamble and Huff proved to be a smart move, as they reveal in the laid-back, sunshiny groove of "Blues Away" (Michael's first-ever published song, incidentally). Funk spills out onto the dance floor in the hi-NRG disco of the following year's "Different Kind of Lady," complete with the kind of Vocoder-assisted vocals that another Ohioan, Roger Troutman, would build a career on. And we close out with a song that hints at Michael's imminent solo career and has taken on a special poignancy in the wake of his passing, the confessional "Bless His Soul," one of the rare instances in which Michael and Jackie share lead vocals.
