Jackson family
The Jackson family are an American family from Gary, Indiana whose members are among the most successful and influential figures in modern popular music. Sales clerk/housewife Katherine Jackson and steel mill worker Joseph Jackson (ex-member of an R&B band called The Falcons with brother Luther) raised their nine children in a two bedroom house. Their mother but not their father was a Jehovah's Witness. Well-known for being strict, Joseph Jackson was later accused by his children of abuse.

Each Jackson child found some level of popular success in the R&B, pop, and blues musical scenes. The five oldest brothers in the Jackson family each served tenures in an R&B/soul band known as The Jackson 5, which was the best-selling act on Motown during the early 1970s. After 1976, when youngest brother Randy (Steven Randall) replaced Jermaine, the band became known as the The Jacksons. Among the six brothers, Michael and Jermaine went on to have significant success as solo performers, with Michael becoming the most successful solo performer in popular music history, according to the Guinness World Records[1]. Rebbie and LaToya Jackson enjoyed brief periods of modest musical success, while Janet followed Michael's path into superstardom.
Many of this generation of the Jacksons' children have gone onto success in solo careers, the most notable being 3T: the three sons of Tito...
