The Early Years: Births and Beginnings
Let's kick things off with the patriarch of the Jackson family, Joseph Walter "Joe" Jackson (born July 26, 1928). Joe, now in his 90s, is the father of the famous Jackson siblings and the driving force behind their musical success. He was a former boxer and steelworker who turned his attention to managing his children's careers.
The first of the Jackson children to hit the spotlight was Maureen "Reebee" Reillette Jackson (born March 29, 1950). Reebee, now in her 70s, was the first Jackson sibling to perform professionally, paving the way for her younger brothers and sisters.
The Jackson 5: Born and Raised
The Jackson 5 was formed in the late 1960s, with the core members being Jackie (born May 4, 1951, now in his late 60s), Tito (born October 15, 1953, now in his late 60s), Jermaine (born December 11, 1954, now in his mid-60s), Marlon (born March 12, 1957, now in his mid-60s), and, of course, the youngest and most famous member, Michael (born August 29, 1958, who would have been in his mid-60s if still alive).
The group's success skyrocketed in the early 1970s, with hits like "I Want You Back" and "ABC." They were the first group in history to debut with four consecutive number-one hits on the Billboard Hot 100.
The Jackson 5 Become the Jacksons
In the mid-1970s, the group changed their name to The Jacksons, and Randy (born May 29, 1961, now in his late 50s) joined the band. The group continued to dominate the charts, with hits like "Shake Your Body (Down to the Ground)" and "Don't Stop 'Til You Get Enough."
Michael Jackson: The King of Pop
While the entire family was talented, Michael Jackson truly became a global phenomenon. Born in 1958, Michael's solo career took off in the late 1970s with his groundbreaking album "Off the Wall." His 1982 album "Thriller" became the best-selling album of all time, with hits like "Billie Jean" and "Beat It."
Michael continued to innovate and push boundaries throughout his career, releasing albums like "Bad" and "HIStory," and iconic music videos like "Scream" and "Black or White." Despite his passing in 2009, his influence on pop culture is still felt today.
The Next Generation: Janet and the Younger Jacksons
Janet Jackson (born May 16, 1966, now in her mid-50s) followed in her brothers' footsteps, becoming a pop icon in her own right. Her albums like "Control," "Rhythm Nation 1814," and "The Velvet Rope" are still celebrated today.
The younger Jacksons, Rajon (born August 29, 1971, now in his late 40s), Brandi (born March 15, 1974, now in her late 40s), and Taj (born August 4, 1973, now in his late 40s), have also made names for themselves in the entertainment industry.
