The Jacksons on Philadelphia Soul, from the Gamble/Huff archives. Show You the Way to Go is a song written by Gamble and Huff and released as a single in 1977 by The Jacksons on their CBS debut album, The Jacksons. It was their only number-one song for the group in the UK. Show You the Way to Go became a 1977 hit for The Jacksons, (formerly known as The Jackson 5) after their departure from Motown nearly two years prior. The move made it easy for the brothers to write and produce their own material. They spent a couple of years under the production and direction of Gamble and Huff was signed to Philadelphia International Records. This was one of the songs that the producers wrote for the brothers. This song was released after Enjoy Yourself, released a year earlier. Michael sang lead and background vocals. Marlon Jackson, and the rest of the brothers (without Jermaine Jackson) had backup parts. The song reached No. 6 US Billboard R&B chart, No. 28 US Billboard Hot 100 and No. 1 on the UK Singles Chart. After recording the album Goin Places in 1977, The Jacksons left Philadelphia International for Epic.
