Big Boy (song) - Leaving Steeltown

Leaving Steeltown

The Jackson 5 would release a second and final single through Steeltown Records — "We Don't Have To Be Over 21 (to Fall in Love)". The two singles were to be supported by an eleven track studio album but it was never released. On July 26, 1968, the group signed a contract with Motown Records. However, as the group's Steeltown contract had not yet expired, the new contract could not be fully executed until March 11, 1969. Motown Records tried to get the group out of their Steeltown contract, and ultimately succeeded with a financial settlement.

Famous quotes containing the word leaving:

    Great is the art,
    Great be the manners, of the bard.
    He shall not his brain encumber
    With the coil of rhythm and number;
    But, leaving rule and pale forethought,
    He shall aye climb
    For his rhyme.
    “Pass in, pass in,” the angels say,
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
