The Jacksons

The Jacksons, an American family band that emerged from the steel town of Gary, Indiana, have left an indelible mark on the landscape of pop and R&B music. Initially coming to fame as The Jackson 5 under the Motown label in the late 1960s with the original lineup of the brothers Jackie, Tito, Jermaine, Marlon, and Michael Jackson, they later rebranded as The Jacksons when they moved to CBS Records in 1976, with youngest brother Randy Jackson officially joining the act. The group's dazzling performances and a string of hit songs such as "I Want You Back," "ABC," "The Love You Save," and later as The Jacksons, "Shake Your Body (Down to the Ground)" and "Can You Feel It," firmly established them as music icons and served as the stepping-stone for the youngest member, Michael, to launch his unprecedented solo career.

The discography of The Jacksons reflects their evolution from bubblegum pop to a mature blend of funk, disco, and R&B sounds that captured audiences across the world. Albums like "Destiny" and "Triumph" are considered by many fans and critics as quintessential examples of their craft, showcasing their superior vocal harmonization and infectious grooves. The band continued making music into the late 1980s, with their last album of new material being "2300 Jackson Street" in 1989, which included several members of the extended Jackson family. Despite personal and professional challenges, the enduring legacy of The Jacksons is celebrated through reissues and expanded versions of their classic albums, such as "Victory" and "Goin' Places," allowing new generations to experience the magic of their timeless sound.
