Big Boy (song)
"Big Boy" aka "I'm A Big Boy Now" was the first single ever released by The Jackson 5 (The Jackson Five), in January 1968, through Steeltown Records.〔 The group produced and played instruments on many of their Steeltown compositions, including "Big Boy". The song was neither a critical nor commercial success, but the Jackson family were delighted with the outcome nonetheless.
The Jackson 5 would release a second single with Steeltown Records before moving to Motown Records. The group's recordings at Steeltown Records were thought to be lost, but they were rediscovered more than 25 years later. They were remastered and reissued in 1995, with "Big Boy" as the promotional lead single.
==First record deal and lead single==
The Jackson 5 began their career performing at talent contests, which they would often win. During a performance at Beckman Junior High, the group were brought to the attention of Gordon Keith — the owner of Steeltown Records, a company based in the group's hometown of Gary, Indiana. Keith signed the children to a limited record deal. The band recorded with their instruments and a backing group on the weekends. Michael Jackson sang lead vocals on the majority of tracks and the brothers produced much of the material themselves, including the track "Big Boy", which took a few hours to record and was written by Ed Silver.〔〔 The group were paid three cents for each record sold, which was split equally amongst the five members. The group released their first single "Big Boy" on January 30, 1968. It was backed with the B-side "You've Changed". The brothers would go on to perform "Big Boy" at numerous strip clubs throughout their early lives.〔〔
