About the Jackson 5

The iconic first family of pop music created their band in 1965. They hailed from Gary, Indiana. Led by their father, Joe, the five Jackson brothers recorded their first album in 1967. It would be just a few short years until the brothers were discovered by Motown, and the rest is music history.

Jackie, Tito, Jermaine, Marlon, and Michael were the first Motown group to have four consecutive number one songs. Michael soon emerged as the breakthrough star, and he would go on to have the best solo career of all the brothers. Two sisters also made a name for themselves as musical artists.

The music of the Jackson 5 has become a part of the American musical landscape, crossing genres and enduring to the present day. Although Michael passed away in 2009 and Randy no longer performs, the remaining brothers continue the Jackson 5’s musical legacy.

Nothin’ (That Compares 2 U)
1989, 2300 Jackson Street
Each partner should choose some songs that express devotion for the one they will marry, and they should make those songs an important part of the wedding ceremony. This one can be played at the reception, or some may want to have it played as the newlyweds are introduced as husband and wife for the first time.

‘Cause there ain’t nothin’, ooh
And I do mean nothin’
No, no, no, nothin’ that compares to you

Can You Feel It
1980, Triumph

There are a number of emotions that couples feel on your wedding day, and this song is a reminder to celebrate every one of those feelings. Playing this song at the wedding reception is a way to engage your guests and help them achieve the same depth of feeling.
All the children of the world should be
Loving each other wholeheartedly
Yes, it’s all right

Lovely One
1980, Triumph
A young woman never looks better than she does on your wedding day, and some wedding songs were meant to honor that. This is one of those songs, a powerful love ballad that will let her know how beautiful she is.

You are my, you are my
You are my lovely one

One Day I’ll Marry You
1979, Boogie
Today is that day, the day that all the hopes and dreams of many young women and men are accomplished. Let yourself be reminded of all the reasons that you fell in love with your new spouse, and raise a toast to forever when the DJ spins this Jackson 5 classic hit.

One day we’ll marry
I mean it baby
One day I’ll marry you

Show You the Way to Go
1977, The Jacksons
When we enter into marriage we express a certain amount of vulnerability, and we acknowledge that a life partner is needed to help us through. That sentiment is likely why some couples choose this as the song for their first dance as man and wife, and why others use it as a part of the processional.

Follow me, my friend
Let me show you, come on
Let me show you the way to go

You’re My Best Friend, My Love
1976, Joyful Jukebox Music
The person that you choose to marry should be your best friend as well as your forever love, and they need to know that is how you feel. The Jackson 5 say it better than most of us ever could in this song from the height of their popularity.

‘Cause if our love affair should end
I know I’ll never find a friend
As great as you, girl, I’m glad it’s true

All I Do Is Think of You
1975, Moving Violation
This is a song that sums up those feelings that are common in the early days of falling in love, and it has been used by many couples during various parts of the wedding celebration. You might want to dedicate it to your new spouse at the reception, and maybe you could even sing it with the band.

So what are you gonna do
(Ooh, baby)
Hey, little girl I love you so

Forever Came Today
1975, Moving Violation
Every wedding needs the right song to conclude the day, and this one makes for the perfect send-off. As you depart the wedding chapel remember that the vows you have taken are forever.

When you walked into my life
And made my lonely life
A paradise
It came today
Forever came today

I am Love
1974, Dancing Machine
This song is lyrically similar to many of Jackson 5’s greatest hits, expressing the theme that love surrounds all things and all people. It can be a very nice song to play before you and your partner light a unity candle.

My arms will hold and be with you
Your whole life through
‘Cause I am love
And I’m in love with you

Love Song
1972, Lookin’ Through the Windows
Keeping things simple is never a bad idea on your wedding day, and love songs don’t come much simpler than this. Even though the message is straightforward there is a depth of emotion that can help you set the proper mood if you play this as the guests begin to arrive.

I’m so happy to hear the one song
Just too good to be true
Gonna dedicate this love song, this love song to you

Little Bitty Pretty One
1972, Lookin’ Through the Windows
This song is reminiscent of many early Motown hits, and it will be appreciated by those of a certain age who remember the heyday of the Jackson 5. It is a dance tune that is best saved for reception dancing, but you can also play it to spotlight the bride and her wedding party.

Little bitty pretty one
Come on and talk-a to me
A-lovey dovey dovey one

I’ll Be There
1970, Third Album
This love song by the Jackson 5 has been covered by many other musical artists such as Mariah Carey, and it still has the power to make your wedding guests swoon. This is a song that should be shared by the newlyweds as a special dance, perhaps the first one they will enjoy as a married couple.

Togetherness, girl, is all I’m after
Whenever you need me
I’ll be there
