The Jackson 5 and Bach: "I Want You Back"

The 1st number one hit for The Jackson 5 – “I Want You Back” – was written in the remote 1969. It didn’t take long for the song to get into all possible charts, billboards and best-song-lists. The popular song with the lead vocal by the young-young Michael Jackson made it to the Hall of Fame and became of the 500 greatest songs of all time, according to the Rollin Stone.
