If you've got an extra £2300 in your pocket, you can buy a limited edition print of this wonderful photo taken by Lawrence Schiller in 1969 of the Jackson 5 dancing on the beach. Or, if you're poor like me, you can just be satisfied that someone verified the year this was taken and enjoy the jpg.
This beach scene seems to be cropping up frequently right now.It was featured I hear on the Biogrpahy programme and of course in various tribute magazines when he died. I actually like these pictures as they look so happy.

for the record
I first saw it in Life magazine after Michael died. I like Michael and Marlon's matching outfits, and that Jermaine has his beloved striped trousers rolled up past his knees. And, yes, they do look happy.
ReplyDeleteYes, this picture popped up shortly after Michael died, I think.
ReplyDeleteI really wonder why this shoot wasn't used before... I love it! The beach, the sea... the long shadows on the beach which means it must be sun set or sunrise.
Strange that not many other pictures of this shoot popped up. I think I have just 1 other where they're all jumping. Michael jumped too early and he's already 'landed' but he's laughing soo hard, they're all laughing!
I haven't seen the jumping one. If you have it would you be willing to upload it to the J5 Collector Facebook page at:

I always thought this photo was in 1970 judging by their afro size.
ReplyDeleteI did too but the photographer said it was 1969. And it's really only Tito whose hair looks a lot longer. Guess we usually saw him with a hat that first year.
