Moving Violation is the tenth studio album by the Jackson 5 and has sold 1.6 million copies worldwide,[6] it was their final studio album on Motown Records, released on May 15, 1975. Aiming at the developing disco market,[7] the group's funk-based version of Diana Ross & the Supremes' 1968 single "Forever Came Today" was a club hit,[8] while the single's B-side, the R&B ballad "All I Do Is Think of You", became a popular and frequently covered song in its own right.[1]
The album was arranged by Michael Lovesmith, Arthur G. Wright, Dave Blumberg and James Anthony Carmichael, with Lovesmith and John Bahler being responsible for the vocal arrangements. John Kosh was the album cover's designer with photography credited to Jim Britt.
