The Jackson Five (including The Jackson 5 ) and later The Jacksons was an American Soul - band , which celebrated its greatest success in the 1970s.
The band was founded in 1964 as "The Jackson Brothers" by Joseph Jackson and initially consisted of his sons Jackie , Tito and Jermaine Jackson . Their brothers Marlon and Michael Jackson joined in 1966, whereupon the band was renamed "The Jackson Five". Michael, who was initially seven years old, became the lead singer.
Musical career
Beginnings and successes
The Jackson Five quickly celebrated their first small successes, including winning several talent competitions. A short time later they received their first record deal with the small label Steeltown Records. Radio stations hardly played their first songs like Big Boy , so that their first record in 1968 at Steeltown was the last.
In 1969, he signed a record deal with Motown, the most important US soul label at the time, alongside Stax Records, and an appearance on the Ed Sullivan Show on December 14, 1969, which brought the Jacksons their national breakthrough. The first hit I Want You Back , with a total of two million records sold, went to number 1 on the US Billboard charts, as did the three following songs ABC , The Love You Save and I'll Be There .
In the early 1970s, the Jackson Five went on a world tour for the first time . In total, they released 13 albums on Motown by mid-1975.
Separation of Motown and name change
After separating from Motown Records, they got a new record deal with Epic Records in the spring of 1976 and called themselves from then on "The Jacksons" because the old naming rights were still with Motown. Jermaine stayed with Motown and was replaced by Randy . Motown was known for having songs written exclusively by professional songwriters. At Epic, the brothers had the opportunity to be creative themselves.
With Show You the Way to Go , however, they had their only number one hit on Epic, but the world tours in the late 1970s and early 1980s were groundbreaking. The Jacksons' songs were no longer the chart toppers as they used to be, but they were still successful worldwide.
In 1984 Jermaine returned to the Jacksons. From July to December 1984, the group again undertook a tour for the album Victory (Victory Tour) through the United States. Shortly after the end of this tour, Michael, who donated his tour earnings to charities, announced his resignation from the Jacksons, which actually heralded the beginning of the end of the Jacksons.
Randy, Jermaine, Jackie and Tito released the Jacksons' last joint album in May 1989, 2300 Jackson Street .
In September 2001 Michael Jackson celebrated his 30th anniversary as a solo artist with two shows in New York's Madison Square Garden . A well-known performance by The Jacksons took place, u. a. with a performance with * NSYNC to the song Dancing Machine .
In 2011, The Jacksons recorded a single with Japanese artist AI , only three of them left . The song Letter in the Sky was released on December 14, 2011 on the single Happiness / Letter in the Sky .
present
In total, they sold over 100 million records between 1969 and 1989. In 1997 he was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame .
To date, The Jackson Five and The Jacksons earn around $ 50 million annually with their songs, cover titles, compilations and other marketing rights. There is no more successful black music group, headlined Rolling Stone magazine in 2002.
