The Jacksons

Tito, Marlon, and Jackie Celebrate 50 Years of Chart-Topping Music

Jackie, Tito, Jermaine, Marlon, and Michael — five brothers from Gary, Ind., known originally as The Jackson 5 and later The Jacksons — earned the status of pop royalty in the music world. With over 200 million records sold from their Motown recordings alone, including chart-topping hits “I Want You Back,” “ABC,” and “I’ll Be There,” The Jacksons have delivered an array of timeless classics that continue to resonate with fans worldwide.

The Jacksons transitioned to Epic Records in 1976 — unleashing a new era of all-time favorites, such as "Enjoy Yourself," "Blame It On The Boogie," and "Can You Feel It." Their influence spans generations and has inspired several boy bands and artists including Backstreet Boys, New Edition, *NSYNC, New Kids on the Block, the Jonas Brothers, One Direction, and more.

In 1980, The Jacksons were honored with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame and a string of music accolades followed. They were inducted into The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1997, and the Vocal Group Hall of Fame in 1999. At the BMI Urban Awards in 2008, The Jacksons were honored as BMI Icons; and in 2016, “ABC” was inducted into the Recording Academy’s Grammy Hall of Fame along with “I Want You Back.”
