4. The Jackson Parents
The Jackson’s were a working class family raised in
Gary, Indiana by there mother Katherine Jackson
and father Joe Jackson. They were occasionally
beaten by their father Joe for misbehaving.

5. Early Career
The Jackson first began to get into music when the eldest brothers of
the group use to play their father’s guitar without him knowing.
Listening to the radio while playing music was their thing. Michael
and Marlon were not allowed to play, but only to watch as long as
they don’t tell. Joe eventually discovered they were playing his
guitar after one of his guitar strings broke. He was very furious at
first, but he realized that the boys had talent. From then on Joe
started making plans to create a musical act for them. They were
signed onto Motown Records in 1969, and began achieving
immediate success with their first No. 1 single "I Want You
Back."The Jacksons released the Victory album in 1984, followed
by their wildly successful Victory World Tour.
