Yes, I remember Rankin/Bass used those silhouettes quite a bit on both THE
JACKSON 5 and THE OSMONDS cartoons (esp. in the opening title sequences).
My guess is they did that because they were much easier to draw if all
the animator had to do was the outline. So, it was probably a time-saving
(and money-saving) device. It requires less ink to just draw a silhouette.

I do. Gosh, that makes me feel so old. At least during that time Michael Jackson was awesome. Not the freak we now know him to be.
