On this day in music history: September 12, 1973 - “G.I.T.: Get It Together”, the seventh album by The Jackson 5 is released. Produced by Hal Davis, it is recorded at Motown Recording Studios in Hollywood, CA from April - July 1973. The album marks an important transitional point in the J5’s career. The project will see the group moving away from their original bubblegum Pop/R&B sound to a more Proto-Disco/Funk sound. It will spin off three singles including the title track (#2 R&B, #28 Pop) and the original full length version of “Dancing Machine (1 R&B, #2 Pop)”. The track “Hum Along And Dance” will become a dance floor favorite in clubs and is adapted as an early Hip Hop staple for the songs’ extended breakdown. The original LP pressing features a die cut cover with the initials “G.I.T.” cut out to reveal a picture of the group on the albums’ inner sleeve. “G.I.T.: Get It Together” will peak at number four on the Billboard R&B album chart, and number one hundred on the Top 200.
