- Gordon_Keith_(producer) abstract "Gordon Keith was the first person to sign a recording contract with Michael Jackson and the Jackson 5 and release their records. Most notable of the four Jackson Five tracks he produced for his Steeltown Records label of Gary, Indiana, is Big Boy. It sold regionally in the Chicago-Gary area in early 1968. It was recorded in November 1967 on the South Side of Chicago, which, as the home of the vibrant Chicago Soul sound of the time, had many fine session musicians, songwriters, and production studios. Keith signed the Jacksons to a management and recording contract on November 23, 1967, at a time when, oddly, not one of the very numerous labels in the region would take them on.The quality and potential heard in the Big Boy recording were such that Jerry Wexler of Atlantic Records sought out Keith to make a deal with him to distribute it on ATCO, and ATCO distributions of this Steeltown recording are still in existence, as are the preceding version on Steeltown alone. The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum owns a copy of one of the Steeltown recordings of Big Boy/You Changed, which was produced by Keith, and this 45 record was on display there in 2010. Keith from Gary, was a vocalist himself. He and four partners founded Steeltown Records with each able to record and sign local talent themselves in and around Gary, Indiana. The quality of the music and dance scene in East Chicago, Indiana and elsewhere in and around Gary was very high. Vivian Carter, founder of VeeJay Records, and The Spaniels, a prominent Doo-wop group, are examples of Gary's musical culture. Keith states that each partner discovered, signed, and took the responsibility and any profit for each signed individual or group, using Steeltown as an umbrella to promote name recognition. Keith points out that he had himself went solo as a vocalist because he wearied of the lack of discipline and commitment of so many of the young vocalists he sang doo-wop songs with. Therefore he was looking not only for talent, but talent with a disciplined professional attitude and commitment.".
