"This Day In HIStory" March 13, 1975 ~ The Jacksons Move To CBS Records

EXCERPT:
The move to CBS Records
In 1975, Joe had the group sign with CBS Records, in hopes of getting better royalties and more creative control, angered at Motown's refusal to allow the Jacksons to play their own instruments on record. Motown sued for breach of contract, and although they eventually let the group go, the Jacksons were forced to change their name to The Jacksons because Motown owned the 'Jackson 5' trademark. The Jacksons were also forced to trade Jermaine for youngest Jackson brother Randy, since Jermaine chose to stay with Motown and the Gordys. At first part of CBS's Philadelphia International division, and later moving over to Epic Records, the Jacksons continued releasing popular singles such as 'Enjoy Yourself' and 'Shake Your Body (Down to the Ground).'
