My First Love
I grew up with the Jackson 5 - not literally but listening to their music and fantasizing about being Michael Jackson's girlfriend like millions of other little girls. When they performed on the Ed Sullivan show (yep, just dated myself - to the young 'uns I am old but to me, I am forever young) I heard the other girls in their apartments screaming and ran up to see them dancing and looking oh so cool in those now laughable outfits.  Back in the day though, that was styling and profiling. This was music without auto-tunes, played with real instruments and without synthesizers that emulated other instruments. Real talent reigned. And so, when I came across this poster, I really wanted it. Now I do wish it was larger and there wasn't a mark on Marlon's handsome face - which means the seller should charge a lower cost - but I will frame this poster and keep it. I might have to get one for my sister who crushed on Marlon with his fine self! Is it worth $12.95? No. I don't think so. But I'm not unhappy that I have it and it brings me back to a time when I listened to the Jackson 5 and looked foward to their next song. God bless Motown!
