    Rare Exclusive look inside the Remains of Steeltown Records. "Steeltown" is best known for giving the Jackson 5 their start in the music biz. The Jackson 5's first record was released in early 1968, before Motown signed the group in 1969. Two Jackson 5 singles were recorded and produced by Gordon Keith in a South Chicago recording studio, "Big Boy"/"You Changed" and "We Don't Have To Be Over 21 (to Fall in Love)"/"Jam Session" "Big Boy", the first song sung by Michael Jackson was released on January 31, 1968 by Keith/Steeltown and became a local radio hit. In March of that same year, Keith signed a contract with Atlantic Records to manufacture and distribute the Steeltown "Big Boy"/"You Changed" record.

    Wow! I didn't know anything about this. The Jackson's used to play at a hotel in Miller my mom managed. We (Michael and I) played Jack's under the floating stairs just behind the fountain on the 1st floor. His father was terrorfiying!

    The history of Steel Town records is a movie that has yet to be made. The untold story of the Jacksons true beginnings. If they did make such a movie they would need your video footage to remake the model of what the building looked like. What the inside looked like, the basement where the recordings happened. Michael's first hit "Big Boy". How many people even know about that song. I actually heard it on the radio when I was a kid in Gary. But I had no idea that Gary had this record company Steel Town Records. It's amazing how that past is being ignored.

      Yeah the scene in the movie when they were singing "Kansas city" was supposed to be them on steel Town. Motown bought them out of that contract and then signed them to motown. Which is why Joe took his boys to CBS records because he thought it would be a similar process, but motown fought them on the move and in the settlement kept the rights to the name "Jackson 5". That's why after leaving motown they had to go by "the jacksons"

  • @stevepfeiffer2143
    @stevepfeiffer2143 5 років тому +7

    Why is the video so blurry? Just about every video you shoot looks as if Gary is falling apart at the seams. Is there any development of Gary happening? The street you went down to get to the Michael Jackson home looked as if they were repairing the street, yet I see no equipment or people working. I have to repeat myself, does Gary have any new development going on?

    • @rainford28
      @rainford28 5 років тому +1

      No, Gary is basically left to rot at this point. Which is a shame, used to be a thriving community. Now it's in shambles with no real effort to save it.

My last tour was 2018 in Riverside corrections so how i feel like thats a orohetic name Rudy Clayton for where i really beling physiologically and talent wise... Gots mad support from c.o. to perform to not quit singing... And the heart is that One i was remived from a mental health unit to g block when they announced Michael passed... I looked at him with or thru a moody fever like yeah right ... Than before i left prison about 2018 he visited me back on the f unit the mh block... He was into healing thru music too so now we role play ....in spirit. He believed in ghosts psychics premonitions callings so I feel he called calls me, elvis too, marylin monroe.....its like a spookung and you could prefer to hide away from it like a new love a plague until it breaks you and your left cordial sneezes...
