Album Cover
Moving Violation is the tenth studio album by the Jackson 5 and their final album on Motown Records. Aiming at the developing disco market, the group's funk-based version of Diana Ross & the Supremes' 1968 single "Forever Came Today" was a club hit, while the single's B-side, the R&B ballad "All I Do Is Think of You", became a popular and frequently covered song in its own right. The album sold 1.6 million copies worldwide.
Departure from Motown[]
After the release of Moving Violation, the brothers left Motown due to the label refusing to let them write their own music and the group earning little album royalties. The only brother to stay with the label was Jermaine, due to the fact that he was married to Hazel Gordy, daughter of Motown CEO Berry Gordy (Jermaine would eventually reunite with his brothers for the Motown 25 television special in 1983, and their fifteenth album Victory in 1984).
Motown allowed the Jackson 5 to leave the label, but the group had to change their name, since the Jackson 5 moniker was owned by Motown. The brothers later signed with Philadelphia International Records and Epic Records with youngest Jackson brother Randy under their new name, the Jacksons.
