Diana Ross hosted a party for approximately 350 guests at the Daisy Club in Beverly Hills, where Motown Records introduced
The Jackson 5 to music industry figures, the music press and Hollywood society. The event created the mistaken impression that Diana Ross had discovered the group; according to the source,
Gladys Knight had actually recommended them to Motown. The Jackson 5 also performed that night at the first Miss Black
America pageant. The group subsequently lived up to the expectations and became one of the biggest acts of
1970.
