THE OSMONDS & THE JACKSON 5

Jan. 21, 1973

Why did “teenyboppers” make heroes and millionaires of two rock ’n’ roll outfits: The Osmonds and The Jackson 5? Parade’s analysis reduced the groups’ popularity to this: “safe” sex appeal. And here we thought it was because of their hit songs, like “One Bad Apple” and “I’ll be There.” Michael Jackson went on to win 13 Grammys.
