Best Answer

Gladys Knight saw the Jackson 5 at an amateur contest. She informed Berry Gordy of their awesome talent. It was not until another Motown star mentioned them to Berry that he took notice. Diana Ross did not discover them but because she was Berry Gordys mistress at the time and sought fame at any cost, she was given the credit.
