The recording, \u201cBig Boy,\u201d features nine-year-old Michael Jackson flaunting his already flawless vocals while his brothers play all the instruments and sing backup vocals. Steeltown Records, a small independent label in Gary Indiana, released the group\u2019s debut single, and it was a regional hit, selling over 10,000 copies. A mere one year later, The Jackson 5 went on to sign with Motown Records and become the international superstars we know them as, changing the landscape of music forever.<\/h2>\n<h2>Serving as a relic of musical history, the master recordings of \u201cBig Boy\u201d were thought to be lost for over 25 years. In 1995, the Jackson\u2019s family friend and Steeltown\u2019s former co-owner, Ben Brown, discovered the tapes in his kitchen pantry and reissued the single via Inverted Records. However, <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.rollingstone.com\/music\/premieres\/big-boy-jackson-5-original-onederful-20140930\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">until 2014<\/a>, the only way this recording could be heard was via CD, 45 or cassette tape &#8212; none of which were easy to come by. Now, thanks to our partnership with Secret Stash Records, \u201cBig Boy\u201d has found a home at Marmoset and is available for listening and licensing. We are incredibly humbled to represent this rare and iconic song, and can\u2019t wait to see the creative ways it\u2019s used with picture.
