Jermaine Jackson:Ultimate Collection

Strapping his Fender Jazz bass guitar over a full-length fur-lined winter coat, a teenaged Jermaine Jackson, accompanied by the rest of the Jackson 5, is about to begin his work day. The year is 1972, and the only audience a street-clothed J5 has during a chilly winter afternoon rehearsal at Oklahoma City’s 16,000-seat indoor Myriad Convention Center is a skeleton crew of nonchalant roadies, various members of the J5’s opening act – a hitless, rag tag group Motown has recently signed that specializes in Top 40 covers called the Commodores (including an unknown future superstar named Lionel Richie) – and my childhood best friend Don Minnis and me. I’d read in black teen fanzine Right On! that if you showed up at a concert hall a few hours before a scheduled performance during what they called a “sound check,” that it was entirely possible for fans to somehow meet their favorite entertainer. Donny and I ditch high school class, sneak into a remarkably accessible and seemingly deserted Myriad Convention Center, and I’ll be damned if the Jackson 5 aren’t actually here – with Ronnie Rancifer on keyboards and cousin Johnny Jackson on drums – casually steam-rolling through a rendition of their latest Motown single, “Hallelujah Day.”
