The show included some of Michael Jackson’s later pieces of music, including ‘Thriller’, ‘Billie Jean’, ‘Smooth Criminal’ and ‘Man In The Mirror’ to name but a few.  It also took the audience on a trip back through time to the 60’s and featured a complete set of songs from The Jackson 5 founded in 1964 in Gary, Indiana, by Joe Jackson, as well as by brothers Jackie, Tito, and Jermaine, with younger brothers Marlon and Michael joining soon after.  The Jackson 5 performed in talent shows and clubs on the Chitlin’ Circuit, then signed with Steeltown Records in 1967 and released two singles.
