The Jacksons

BIOGRAPHy

The Jacksons, originally known as The Jackson Five, are an American music dynasty. Hailing from Gary, Indiana, founding group members included Jackie Jackson, Tito Jackson, Jermaine Jackson, Marlon Jackson and Michael Jackson. Active from 1964 to 1990, The Jacksons Five played from a repertoire of R&B, soul, pop and (in the 1970s) disco. During their six-and-a-half-year Motown tenure, The Jackson Five was one of the biggest pop-music acts of the 1970s, and the band served as the launching pad for the solo careers of their lead singers Jermaine and Michael. The Jackson Five/The Jacksons have sold 100 million records worldwide, making them one of the best-selling music artists of all time. With their departure from Motown to CBS in 1976, The Jacksons were forced to change their name, and Jermaine was replaced with younger brother Randy, as Jermaine chose to stay at Motown. During these years, they continued to have a number of hits such as “Enjoy Yourself,” “Shake Your Body (Down to the Ground),” “Show You the Way to Go” and “Blame It on the Boogie.” Their success continued into the 1980s with hits such as “Can You Feel It,” “This Place Hotel,” “Lovely One” and “State of Shock.” After Michael’s death in June 2009, the group embarked on a 2012 reunion tour. Along with their immense catalogue of classic hits, The Jacksons have also been honored in the Grammy Hall of Fame and the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
