"Big Boy" was the first single ever released by The Jackson 5, in January 1968, through Steeltown Records. The group produced and played instruments on many of their Steeltown compositions, including "Big Boy". The song was neither a critical nor commercial success, but the Jackson family were delighted with the outcome nonetheless.

The Jackson 5 would release a second single with Steeltown Records before moving to Motown Records. The group's recordings at Steeltown Records were thought to be lost, but they were rediscovered more than 25 years later. They were remastered and reissued in 1995, with "Big Boy" as the promotional lead single....

January 30, 1968 - The Jackson 5's very first single "Big Boy" from Steeltown Records was released. It is the earliest known studio recording of Michael Jackson and his brothers, cut in Chicago in 1967. The song was neither a critical nor commercial success, but that was the brothers first record. From here, it seemed, anything might be possible. It would have been a very memorable moment when they gathered around the radio to hear the broadcast for the first time. Michael later recalled: " When it was over, we all laughed and hugged one another. We felt we had arrived. This was an amazing time for us as a family. I can still feel the excitement when I think back on it."

There is a slightly earlier version of this that was recorded at One-derful Records in July '67 with the Jacksons playing more of the instruments, I don't think it has been released anywhere as of yet
