The Jackson 5, later known as the Jacksons, are an iconic American pop group formed in 1964 in Gary, Indiana. Originally made up of brothers Jackie, Tito, Jermaine, Marlon, and Michael Jackson, the group was managed by their father, Joe Jackson. As trailblazers for African American artists in mainstream music, the Jackson 5 rose to fame with their energetic performances and catchy soul-pop sound. After early performances on the Chitlin Circuit and two singles with Steeltown Records, the group joined Motown in 1968. They made history as the first act to debut with four consecutive number-one hits on the Billboard Hot 100, including I Want You Back and ABC. Over five years, they achieved numerous chart successes before moving to Epic Records in 1976, where they became the Jacksons and welcomed youngest brother Randy to the lineup. The group released several successful albums, including Destiny and Triumph, and iconic singles like Can You Feel It and Shake Your Body Down to the Ground. Members also pursued solo projects, most notably Michael Jackson, who became a global superstar. The Jackson 5 and the Jacksons are celebrated as one of the best-selling groups of all time, with over 150 million records sold. They have been honored with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame and induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Their timeless hits continue to influence generations of musicians.
