Description

Boogie is a compilation album of both of previously released and unreleased tracks by the American band The Jackson 5.  It is released after the release of the Jacksons studio album Destiny in 1979.  Boogie is considered the rarest of all Jackson 5/Jacksons releases.
Released January 16, 1979 Recorded May 1969 – April 1973 Genre Bubblegum pop and soul Length - Label Natural Resources and Motown Producer Hal Davis & The Corporation

In 1979, the Jacksons moved up in the Top 10 with the album Destiny, released by Epic, and the hit "Shake Your Body". Michael began recording Off the Wall this year. And Motown wanted to cash in on the newfound success with Boogie on the label "Natural Resources".

Five of the seven songs are unpublished productions Hal Davis, some are in the line of "Pride and Joy" in on "Joyful Jukebox Music" as "I Was Made To Love Her" and "Love's Gone Bad". The sweetness of "One Day I'll Marry You," following the sessions for "Never Can Say Goodbye" might have its place in albums like Maybe Tomorrow and Got To Be There. "Oh, I've Been Blessed" is produced by Bobby Taylor, recorded in the early beginnings of Motown group. "Penny Arcade" is the vein of "Lookin' Through to the Windows".

Boogie, along with Joyful Jukebox Music, were distributed for a very short period, and the album remains the rarest of the Jackson 5. In 2004, it was available for a limited time from Hip-O Select, to compliment the Motown's 2001 "2 Albums on 1 CD" re-issue set of the Jackson 5's albums, on which some of these songs were issued as bonus tracks. Although only 5,000 copies were pressed, the album contains the previously unreleased full 15+ minute take of the song "Hum Along and Dance."[1] It is currently available for purchase on iTunes.[2]
