Biography
Driven by their father Joseph Jackson's disciplined regime, the Jackson 5 became a musical phenomenon, creating some of the most perfect soul pop music ever recorded. Initially spotted performing by Gladys Knight and the Pips' pianist Bobby Taylor, the brothers Jackie, Tito, Marlon and Jermaine Jackson followed in the footsteps of the great Motown bands of the 1960s, scoring US Number 1 hits with their first four singles and going on to sell over 150 million worldwide. Led by future "King of Pop" Michael Jackson - who was just six when the band began - the classic tracks "I Want You Back" (1969), "ABC" (1970), "I'll Be There" (1971) and shot the brothers to fame before they later embraced disco and funk as The Jacksons when Motown moved to CBS in 1975. As Michael became a huge solo star in his own right, the band eventually split in 1989, reforming briefly in 2001 for a one-off TV special from New York's Madison Square Gardens celebrating 30 years of Michael's solo career. He died on June 25, 2009 at the age of 50. On September 15, 2024, Toriano Aradyll "Tito" Jackson also died at the age of 70.
