"This Day in HIStory" September 24, 1971 ~ The J5 was on the cover of Life Magazine

On September 24, 1971, the Jackson 5 was on the cover of Life Magazine, with a story entitled "Rock Stars at Home with Their Parents."

The Jackson 5 pose with their parents, Encino, Calif. in 1970. Unlike the other stars featured in LIFE's story, the Jackson brothers — Michael, Marlon, Tito, Jermaine, and Jackie — experienced fame as kids, and still lived with their parents (father/manager Joe and mother Katherine). At the time of LIFE's shoot, they were the hottest act in pop, skyrocketing in 1970 with "ABC" and "I'll Be There," and had just moved into an expansive new house. Published on the Sept. 24, 1971 cover of LIFE.

With their parents standing by, 13-year-old dynamo Michael (front left) and his brothers Jackie, Marlon, Tito, and Jermaine straddle their motorbikes by the pool. "It was very controlled," Olson says of the shoot. "As I remember, they followed my requests to a T, and were incredibly polite. The dad was pretty stern." Indeed, Joe — who had been a crane operator in Gary, Indiana, just three years before — hinted at the relentless drive toward fame that Michael would later regret. "It wasn't hard to know they could go on to be professionals," Joe told LIFE of his young sons. "They won practically all the talent shows and I wasn't surprised when they did make it."
