A little about me and this channel:
My name is James Aubrey IV and I just recently graduated college from Iowa State University. After college I decided to take a leap of faith. So I moved to San Diego California to pursue my passion for videography/ CZcams. Overall I'm a pretty chill person, outside of CZcams I like to longboard, dance, play video games, lift weights and hangout with my friends. I know that success on CZcams won't happen overnight but I'm willing to stay patient and put in the work to try to prefect my craft daily. This CZcams channel will be centered around my life after college. You will be able to see all of the ups and downs on my journey to success. So if you like the content make sure you subscribe so you can be apart of the Rome Life Family. (Let's build our own personal Rome's together.)
What is the Rome Life ? And What does it mean to be apart of it?
Rome Life is something I started during my Sophomore year of high school (one of the worst times in my life) it started off as me documenting my journey to recovery from my shoulder surgery but eventually it turned into a platform that I could use to encourage myself as well as others to chase our dreams.
Rome Life isn't just a saying it's a way of life and for the people who want to be apart of it have to realize that. Rome wasn't built in a day it took a lot of handwork time and most importantly patience. So you can't expect your dreams to be any different

Best Jackson Five performance, Who’s Loving You. Ive never to this day seen a child put in the feeling into any song like he killed that. It’a mindblowing .....
The one from the Ed Sullivan Show?
The Darkcloud yes! I love it!!
They have an album recorded at the Forum in 1970 and 1972 that is really good too.
If Michael did not perform up to his dad's standards he would have beat his ass :(
Shy M true. Joe was not a great father in many ways, as most of us whom know about Michael know. It was sad, & probably why Michael didn’t want to grow up as an adult or was child-like. However, Michael just embodies the soul of a someone well older then himself belting that song out as a kid, I think that his musical talent & singing abilities were not teachable, but a natural gift that he possessed his entire life.
Joe Jackson was the
Father. Tito is one of the brothers. Yes, he was strict and abusive.
I mean....but wasn’t he just a normal father back then
Sadly, no. Those boys were beaten and abused verbally and emotionally if they tried to just be kids or if their performance wasn't perfect.
Carolyn Cappitelli so you were there ?? All the older brothers said it was just tough parenting nothing abusive
M T like I said the younger ones said that and are you really gonna believe latoya after everybody in the family said she lied 😅😅😅😅
Ok....here's the thing and I'm not condoning what joe did, but men of his generation, that was how some of them raised their kids.....joe had to contend with gangs & drugs in gary in....so he did what a father did....keep his children away from that by any means necessary!!
I wasn’t alive then. From every older person I’ve spoken to and the documentaries, they all said even from back then they knew Michael was special the first time they heard him.
The guys knew they were backup singers to Michael.
Malloy Rodriguez...💯💯💯
Yes, we knew.♥️😎. I was 9 when I watched this back in the early 70s. I sat there with my mouth wide open listening to little Michael singing his heart out. He couldn’t be a human-he was magic. ⚡️
Joe Jackson is the father.
From left to right: Tito is on the guitar, Marlon is next to him, Jackie is the oldest, tallest in the middle, Michael, and Jermaine is on the bass.
It was always evident Michael was going to be a huge star, not a surprise to anyone who paid attention.
And when jermaine left the jackson 5, Michael’s brother Randy took his place.
The Jackson 5 - Who’s Loving You - Michael is 🔥🔥
Yes.
Double Yes!!
I love both these songs ....yet, as I get older, it does seem a bit strange that an 11 year old sings songs like who’s loving you and I want you back......🤔
Smokey Robinson’s song but Michael put it in the map!
“Stop, the Love You Save” is one of my Jackson 5 favorites.
One of my favorites too, you have good taste!🙂
Mine too, especially live at the forum I see why they stormed the stage
Man, I don't believe you have never hear of the Jackson 5, queen, beatles, Elvis. I just don't believe it. It is almost impossible for you to have walked this earth for the number of years, that you have been alive and not have hear any music.
Yeah...it's hard to take these "first time" reactions seriously...
It's as if he's been bottle-fed nothing but Beyonce and not allowed to go anyplace where other music may have been playing. No movies, either.
@@jangoliocloney3441 Great observation.
I don't think its that hard, especially if the parents didn't expose them to the music. My Grandchildren though, they KNOW!!!! They parents knew because I did not make that mistake. They may not like it, but they know...lol
I used to feel the same way until I worked with youth groups. They may have heard of the bands, but many honestly don't know the music. I learned this when Michael died -- his music was playing everywhere, and they didn't recognize the songs. It's sad really.
I honestly don’t believe this is this guy’s first time hearing this song.
Impossible
Right😂😂 I’ve been hearing this song since I was like 4 years old and I’m 19 now lol
You could be right, I don't know the man or his struggle in life.
Everyone and they moms knows this
Right. How could you have not heard this? Have you lived your entire life in a cave?
Jackson 5 were so famous they even had a Saturday morning cartoon 😆
Yup!
You Are américan and you never heard of the Jackson 5 ? My God..
He didn't say he never heard of them, he said he he didn't know this song, but in your defense, in the voice of Maury Povich , THAT WAS A LIE!
american? which american? canadian, mexican, argentinian, bolivian, panamanian, columbian etc as they are all american or do you mean usa-sian?
@@robertobrien5709 triggered for no reason
People overseas knows the J5!! They were known world wide!!
Give the guy a break. He didn't grow up with this music.
All five of the Jackson 5 included Jackie, Tito, Jermaine, Marlon and Michael
Later Randy joined The Jackson’s. Then there are the girls Reba, Latoya and Janet. I should know I cut up many a magazine with them in
Correction it’s Rebbie not Reba
Thank, You.
Just to add one further. Marlon had a twin called Brandon who sadly died during childbirth. And they also have a half sister, as you know, Joe Jackson wasn't entirely faithful lol
The cartoons were also pretty good. Michael was the GOAT
I can never take any of these song reaction videos seriously. I cannot believe that an American never in life heard these songs. I don't care how old you are these songs are everywhere. It's just simply not logical.
We all knew Michael was very special. React to Who’s Loving You live performance and you will know too!
Dad Joseph just passed a few years ago. We found out when they were well grown that he was abusive the the whole family but especially Michael. He was a unsuccessful musician so I think it was jealousy and bitterness.
Jackie
Tito
Jermaine
Marlon
Michael
The Jackson 5 and The Osmond Brothers were the groups of my youth!
"Down by the Lazy River"...
Randy, the youngest brother, joined The Jacksons later. The name was changed to The Jacksons.
The details are on Wikipedia
They were very good friends with similar backgrounds especially Michael and Donny, very good friends.
Joe Jackson could have let the Jackson children live regular lives in Gary, Indiana, and seek work in the local steel mills and factories once they became adults. Industries that would eventually shut down. Where would they have ended up? That scenario would have deprived the world of the great talent the Jacksons had to share. Since he has taken the criticism from the early 90's right to the grave, he also deserves the credit because the boys just weren't going to be discovered and find fame and fortune through the Chitlin Circuit alone. Groups like the Jacksons and the Sylvers were never going to get weekly television exposure the way the Osmonds and Wayne Newton were. That said, the Osmonds themselves said that they were blown away when they first saw the Jackson Five perform, so much so that they abandoned the old Mitch Miller style show tunes they performed on the Andy Williams show and changed their act to match the contemporary music of that era, specifically the sound of the Jackson Five.
His dad didn’t give a shit about Michael all he cared about was the money he broke michaels nose 7 times 🤬🤬🤬
Jackson Five were great!!! Some more to check out are ABC, Dancing Machine, Blame It On The Boogie, and Shake Your Body
Their Dancing Machine was amazing. It was the song that really made the dance the robot really take off. It was when Michael Jackson really really made a name for himself and his dancing.
Yes.
@@valogden Back then him and Marlon been known for their dancing ever since he was little, camel walking doing James Brown splits and tricks with the mic, if you've seen some of his earlier tapes.
First time I've seen them was maybe a year or two before their first album was on the black teenage pageant that Hal Jackson (No relation) use to host, "It's Your Thang" was one of the songs they done
And "I'll be there."
I just can’t forgive you for not knowing The Jackson 5 . Like how? Were you born last night? Deaf? No you can clearly hear....I Just can’t.🤷🏽♀️
😂😂😂
It IS hard to believe he never heard of the Jackson 5.
I think he said he heard of The Jackson 5 but did not know this song. In fairness "I want you back" came out over 50 years ago. Which is before he was born. On the other hand the J5 were almost as big as The Beatles at one time. So a lover of music should be familiar with their most popular songs.
He’s not lying. Spend a little time to get to know his story. Not everybody’s life experience brings them to music I. The same way.
@@andersmartinson1750 nope he was lip syncing along with the song. He’s lying like all these other bull shit youtubers.
Sir.... you want me to believe that you’ve never heard of “I Want You Back”? I just can’t.....
his moves are too in tune with the music
ikr... it's ICONIC! literally.
James, you'll love their "The Love You Save" "I'll Be There" "Never Can Say Goodbye" "Mamas Pearl"
Michael had amazing stage presence even at a young age!....impressive..and he is dearly missed!!.....😔
Here is a soulful song I think you would like Bill Withers " Ain't No Sunshine"
Jerry Stoneking Jr. that is an amazing song! That and long cool woman in a black dress by the hollies
One of my favourites, ever! Also, I love, Lovely Day.
Love that song!!!
janprimrose yes to this
Also covered by The Jackson 5.
Are you kidding me? Have you never heard this before? Its legendary! 😂🌹💃
OH, YOU WOULD LOVE MICHAEL JACKSON'S SONG OR RATHER THE JACKSON 5 FROM 1972 MY FAVORITE: " GOT TO BE THERE"
I dug Black Ivory's cover but still can't touch the original, another good J-5 song was "One More Chance"
I remember watching the Jackson 5 cartoon in the '70s
The memory brought tears to my eyes. So sweet. So innocent; even w/a SOB father.
He made them all . . .
Michael was the best ENTERTAINER ever to grace this earth. R.I.P.
How do you not know about all these bands you listen to? Everyone has heard of the Jackson 5.
actually this younger generation 30 and under dont know old groups and bands
@@Mrcool19771 i feel like alot of them actually know about the older music, I know some personally. There are also alot of youtubers that know to.
@@Mrcool19771 is mostly those who are in their 30s and 20s. Since they missed out on the golden age of music the 50s-80s. They grew up in the 90s and 00s two shit decades for music
@@Mrcool19771 Sorry but I teach at a university and went to a graduation dance/celebration.
The DJ played the Jackson 5 (ABC if I remember correctly) and all these 20-somethings went CRAZY. They know old groups from friends, parents, grandparents, relatives, movies, TV shows, the internet, Spotify playlists, etc. Just look at the Guardians of the Galaxy movie soundtracks.
Yeah, although I can understand not knowing this artist or that artist...I get real suspicious of some "first time seeing" clips.
i know you capping on watching em for the first time bruh there's no way
if this don't get you movin' you're dead . best voice from a young kid i've ever heard
Not trying to be mean but this guy is asking us for information when he can Google it himself. He thought Tito was their father's name?😆 I think he's pulling our leg.
I was going to suggest this one. My favorite Jackson 5 song. A Motown marathon would do a body good.
The most talented person who’s ever lived. You should react to one of the many documentarys about Michael & the Jackson 5ive
Jackson 5 - "I'll Be there"
When I see this lovely young man so full of life and promise and remember his tragic life and death I am so glad there is still a record of his life.
His father teased him mercilessly about his nose even making his brothers call him "Big Nose" for years. Small wonder Michael had such a distorted self image.
Some time this October you have to showcase Michael Jackson's Thriller video.
I swear I wish these reaction channels would stop lying especially in the titles just for views. You had to be living under a rock if you don't know this.
Love watching you groove to this song. It’s the best.
The better question is "Who thought this kid could Moonwalk?" He freakin' moonwalked, man. Gotdam.
Turbo taught him
@@GaryTisdaleFungkSta1 Jeffery Daniels taught him
Tito was one of the brothers Joe Jackson is the dad
Jacksons Five - "ABC"
I remember how amazing it was seeing Michael perform on TV when they first started.
Michael was so adorable and professional beyond his years!
The Jackson 5 use to have a cartoon on Saturday mornings when I was a kid. Also saw them in concert in philly for their Victory tour. It was awesome!! People were dancing in the aisles, singing, loved every minute of it.
Michael Jackson- ""Don't Stop 'Til You Get Enough""
I'm not tying to be disrespectful and I really kinda like your reactions, but: Sometimes (or most of the times actually) I keep asking myself whether you have been living under a rock to never have heard these songs before in your whole life...
I'm learning that is true of many in his generation. I did not know that either. I'm glad that some are going back and learning music history.
Has to because howwwww do you not know J5 when they crossed over to even white audiences
"A dad named Tito"
YOU GOT YOUR FACTS ALL THE WAY MESSED UP 🤣
He stole the show the first time he ever stepped on the stage! You wouldn’t believe how popular this band was with everyone back then!
ok, whew....so glad you know who Michael Jackson was. Had me worried there for a second.
Their Dad, Joe Jackson, was terribly abusive. He was beyond "strict." He didn't tolerate anything less than pure perfection. A horrible man, in my opinion. GREAT reaction.
He was so abusive that Michael is the only son that said he was. Tito even said himself “I like the way my daddy raised me, I raised my son the same way” and Jermaine and them said he wasn’t abusive 😂😂
If Joe Jackson hadn't pushed the boys the way he did, the world would have never heard of the Jackson 5. The road to success was hard and the odds were against them. They weren't getting television time like the Osmonds were every week and or a Vegas venue like Wayne Newton. The Chitlin Circuit they performed through was largely ignored by the mainstream media (with a few exceptions) while they perfected their stage act in the '60s. Since people continue to give Joe Jackson a lot of $h!+ even though he is now cold in his grave, he deserves the praise for making them practice, practice, practice, because they had to be perfect in order to even be mentioned in the same breath as the Osmonds.
The children of Joe Jackson contradict what you say...beyond strict? and just how would you know this?
I am amazed that Michael’s look in this video didn’t catch on.
LOL. Looks like they're all wearing Kermit the Frog collars.
I am about the same age as MJ. I can tell you that almost every black kid and young person had that look. The J5 had a breakfast cereal commercial and they had an animated Saturday morning Cartoon
I can remember (vaguely, I was very young) when Alpha Bits cereal had a box with a real working Jackson Five flexi music disc on the back panel - you could cut out the disc from the cardboard box and play it on your record player. But I have to say, I don't remember a lot of kids walking around looking like the Jackson's in that video - I could be wrong, though!
@@victorsixtythree If you're talking about the outfits, no
That was stage wear
More Michael reactions please!!
I can feel it, and thank you for bumping the audio! I was entertained
"Long train runnin"by The Doobie Brothers
I used to watch The Jackson 5ive show after my nap when I was 2. I feel lucky that I was alive for that. I also went to the Jackson Reunion tour. Love them.
Remember the reaction you did to Diana Ross? She's the one who "discovered" them after little Michael walked up to her and sang one of her own songs to her. She fell in love and helped the boys start their career.
They were discovered by Gladys Knight. She send a tape over to Motown, but were rejected. A year latter Bobby Taylor took them to Motown to meet Gordon (who had rejected them earlier) and they were signed within a year. NO Diana Ross.
@@sergioalexisadasme136 that's true. Just because diana was huge they asked her to introduce them for publicity. She had nothing to do with getting them into Motown
@@andreadeamon6419 Correct. That "Diana Ross discovered them" story was totally made up by Motown publicists and P.R. people. Diana's career needed a boost about that time as well. And it also shows how poorly regarded Gladys Knight was by the Motown people.
Actually it was Glady knight she saw them first and sent them too Motown , where they used Diana Ross n the tv to promote J5
no diana didn't not discover jackson 5 they had been brought to the attention of motown through gladys knight. then barry gordy had diana introduce them to the world. they had been introduced to james brown 1st but he felt they need to be older
I was born about the same time that Michael was. He was about 10 when all of this started. and, you're right, it was obvious back then that he was very talented. I remember my mom saying "God help that child when he grows up. He is not getting to have a childhood." He did pay a price for that and tried to recapture some of what he missed. (For example, he built his own amusement park on his property.) He once said that he is most comfortable on stage and would sleep on stage if he could. Very talented people often suffer because they don't fit into the world the way the rest of us do. He was certainly one of them.

The greatest entertainer of all time....Michael was at his best when he was performing with his brothers...one of a kind... All of them are legends
OMG I had such a crush on Michael...I had his posters on my walls....sigh
My first love in 5 th grade , Michael Jackson ❤️ The Jackson 5 were Fire!🔥 with young Michael as lead singer, what greatness! their music is still relevant today along with Michael’s music, it will live on forever! Rest In Peace Beautiful Michael! I love you !
I was six when the J5 came on the scene. Even high school kids liked them because of the older brothers. They were the soundtrack of our lives really.
Lulu--- To Sir With Love
One of the most iconic bands in history that produced a true legend- Michael Jackson, the King Of Pop! Tito, Randy, Jermaine and Marlon were Michael's brothers, his fathers name was Joe Jackson ;)
My dad always loved the Jackson 5, but he died in 1980 and never got to see how great Michael became.
Joseph Jackson was the matriarch of the family. Jackie is the oldest brother, then Tito (far left on guitar), Jermaine (far right on guitar), Marlon, Michael, Randy (baby brother who joined the Jacksons after they left Motown while Jermaine stayed).
A few things:
1. The Jackson 5 in the early '70s were a HUGE. They were a bit of a teeny bopper/bubble gum group, but the difference between them and others in their lane is that songs like "I Want You Back", "ABC", and "I'll Be There" have had staying power, unlike other teen idol songs from that time. I mean, no one remembers songs by David Cassidy (who was also a huge bubble gum contemporary) but the Jackson 5 still gets airplay. It's good time, innocent, kiss-on-the-cheek music, but interesting in it's own way. Heck, just listen to the bass line in this song...it's a groove for the ages that doesn't get old.
2. There's a reason why MJ was the lead of the group and a future GOAT, even though he was the youngest of the brothers. Just look and listen to him in this video. He's already charismatic, smooth, and that voice...wow. The brothers can be a bit pitchy when they sing their parts, but Michael? Nope. Natural gifts, coupled with the tyrannical disciplinary rehearsal methods that his father demanded of him and the group, made MJ the diamond that he was. We all miss him. RIP Michael.
Thanks for making me use my head to remember the words! Singing along. ❤️
Who are they......WHO.....ARE....THEY....
Oh noooo baby what is you doin’ 😫😫😫
Oh! BTW ... I agree with everyone on "Who's Loving You" on the best J5 song but I always loved when Michael sang "Ben".
I see this is old, but had to say I don't think I'll ever get tired of listening to J5. I'm a year younger than MJ. I had posters of the Jackson 5 in my room lol What a musical genius & yet what a sad life he had. See, money doesn't buy happiness 😢.
What a music genius.
No we knew something special was happening.
Now we realize how blessed we were to grow up with him.
Berry Gordy signed the Jackson Five to Motown and was instrumental in getting Michael to open up and become the star. Dad Joe who was very abusive and domineering was very jealous of Gordy's influence over the boys and got them to leave Motown. Jermaine, the bass player, was married to Berry's daughter and refused to leave, and Gordy owned the name Jackson Five, so they got little brother Randy to join and changed their name to the Jacksons. That's why during the Victory reunion tour there were six of them, because both Jermaine and Randy were with them.
Technically he didn’t own them.. because if he DID he would have stopped them from singing their old songs. Like he did to Florence Ballard from the supremes. Jermaine actually didn’t want to leave Motown because he felt it was home and how they got their start... because hazel Gordy told him basically that business is business and she would be with him regardless.
@@ceeceedior21 Motown owed the nsme; Jackson 5
Dad's name was Joseph who just passed a few years ago which is also Michael's middle name. That's why his production company was MJJ productions (Michael Joseph Jackson)
The Jacksons should be celebrated as truly the first family of music. The Jackson 5, Micheal, Janet and various other siblings combined have produced well over 100 Billboard Hot 100 hits. Not to mention the combined amount of album sales and royalties paid. No other musical family comes close and this will mostly likely never happen again.
From left to right, you got Tito on bass, Marlon, Jackie, Michael, and Jermaine on guitar...Joe was the father. Later on their youngest brother, Randy, joined the group.
I'm 14 and I know who the Jackson 5 are I grew up on music like that and now I know ten times more old music than any of my friends lol
Jermain, Jackie, Marlon, Michael and Tito on the Guitar!!!!
ok - I love the J5 and Michael is the king - BUT - neither of the two Jacksons are actually playing the guitar - the guitar and bass are being mimed to the Wrecking Crew (the world famous studio musicians who backed everyone in Motown and countless others)
Janet and Latoya were the sisters who had separate singing careers
@Maiden Watkins They LEARNED to play their instruments - just like the Monkees eventually did (yes, I know that they could play but for instance Mickey was not a drummer before the show) - but when they started out they did NOT play live - it was all pretend playing with backing tracks to the Wrecking Crew. Yes, they did learn - but they sure weren't playing here.
@@jamesrawlins735 😆 You hear how many chords the rhythm guitar is playing but all I see is Tito playing that Ab octave riff
When I saw the Victory Tour back in 84' at least Jermaine was playing but damn Tito had his guitar slung to his side most of the concert while the other guitarist done most of the work, I know the bass on the recording is by Wilton Felder the saxophonist for the jazz group The Crusaders.
@Maiden Watkins It was Tito who started messing with Joe's guitar
Youngest to oldest: Michael, Marlon, Jermaine, Toriano (Tito), and Sigmund Esco (Jackie)....Their monster father was Joseph. Michael hated having Joseph as his middle name.
Tito was the oldest brother, Joe was their father and yes he was a very tough dude....
Guitar: Tito Jackson (Joe was the name of their father)
Bass: Jermaine Jackson
Vocals (Center): Jackie Jackson
Vocals (Left): Marlon Jackson
Lead Vocals (Right): Michael Jackson
A few years later, Randy Jackson was added on Auxiliary percussion (specifically Bongos) and then a full replacement for Jermaine when he left in 1975. After 1975, they signed to CBS record, ditching Motown, and changed their name to The Jacksons. Jermaine married the Motown CEO's daughter so he stayed with them. Michael officially went solo in 1972 but he really broke away in 1979, but didn't officially leave the band until 1984.
Now THAT is pure Michael Jackson!!
Yes. I've watched the movie and documentaries of the Jacksons. Their father was into music and michael's brother tito kept playing with his fathers guitar without him knowing. His father gave him a old fashion butt whoopin when he found out but then realized that his son's had talent when it came to music and he put the group together and kept pushing them to perform. They didn't have normal childhood's
Jackie, Tito, Jermaine, Marlon and Michael. Their strict father was Joseph. Later when they became the Jacksons, Jermaine stayed with Motown and the youngest brother Randy joined the Group. They have 3 sisters, Rebbie, LaToya, and Janet is the Baby. Marlon had a twin that died.
Joseph and Kathleen Jackson (their parents) had nine living kids: Rebbie, Jackie, Tito, Jermaine, LaToya, Marlon, Michael, Randy, and Janet. Jackie, Tito, Jermaine, Marlon, and Michael were the Jackson 5. Later on, they would become the Jacksons when Jermaine leaves the group to become a solo artist. The initial group the Jacksons are Jackie, Tito, Marlon, Michael, and Randy. My favorite J5 track is Looking through the windows and there's a youtube video of them performing this in Paris that's excellent. PS they had a TV show variety show in the 70's you can look that up on youtube too.
REACT TO
Michael Jackson - I Wanna Be Where You Are (Live) (1972)
The J5 hit America like a hurricane ! They had three consecutive number one singles on their first album. And it was obvious even then that Michael was something special. If you watch old interviews from this period, he's even more charming and funny than in his Moonwalking period. I wasn't surprised that he hit so big in 1983, because I remembered how big he hit in 1969.
When Rolling Stone did their first '100 best singles of all time' list in the early 80's, "I Want You Back" came in at number two, second only to "I Want To Hold Your Hand" and just ahead of "Satisfaction". By that time I'd pretty much forgotten just how good it was, so I pulled out my old single, blew off all the dust, and cranked it up. It wasn't great, it was even better ! I sure has hell haven't forgotten it since.
Maaaaaaaan! When they started dropping these singles, they LIT UP THE CHARTS!! The other thing was you felt so proud as a black person that they were so popular with everyone :) This group help us feel good about ourselves coming out of all the upheaval of the Civil Rights Movement era. People just wanted to have a good time!
Saw them in concert about this time at Louisiana Tech when I attended there. Who knew what a huge star this little boy would become
from left to right; Tito; Marlon; Jackie; Michael and Jermaine. Later on their younger brother Randy joined them when he was older sometimes. MJ...fantastic. Many have mentioned watching him sing Who's Loving You. I can only find it on Ed Sullivan's show and it's with a few more of their songs. Fantastic performed by Michael. btw, their Mother, Katherine made many of their stage costumes.
Joseph was the father,the brothers starting with the oldest to the youngest-- Jackie, Tito, Jermaine, Marlon, and Michael.
Don't forget miss Janet.. she came later, but a star as well
The two sisters were Janet and Latoya. Not part of the Jackson 5 of course. But there was The Jacksons 5+1 later. Randy was the last to join
The pay were massive - stratospheric. They quickly became a permanent part of the heavenly firmament.

This was voted by Rolling Stone Magazine as The Best Debut Record of all time that was released in 1969. This was from their Goin Back To Indiana Special around 1971. It was done by a Songwriting Team called The Corporation where one of the Members Alfonso "Fonce" Mizell is also a distant cousin of Jam Master Jay of Run DMC and The Ronettes (Be My Baby).
You should react to songs by Jamiroquai - Virtual insanity, Cosmic girl, Deeper underground, Little L, Feels just like it should, Canned heat, Love foolosophy. Are some great ones to get started with
Michael was only about a year older than me. I so loved watching the Jackson 5, when I was so very young. I was amazed that a child my age could do what he did. You should check out the videos of when they began. Michael was younger than this.
The first of 4 J5 songs to reach #1 on the Billboard charts in 1970alone (for a lot of bands, 4 #1 hits would be a solid career) - followed by "ABC," "The Love You Save," and "I'll Be There." All these are highly recommended in the comments with good reason. Great stuff!
I just love listening to these with you!!
Best kid singer of all time--MJ was sublime.
The Jackson bros from l to r are Tito on guitar, Marlon on vocals, Jackie on vocals, Jermaine on bass and lead vocals, Michael on lead vocals. Joe Jackson was their dad.
Joe Jackson was their father, Tito was one of the brothers. Who else remembers watching the Jackson Five cartoon on Saturday morning? Michael and his brothers travelling around the world getting into trouble and out while singing a song. It was a blast. Tito, Jermaine, Jackie, Marlon, and of course Michael were their names. For my request, The Devil Went Down to Georgia by The Charlie Daniels Band.
A brilliant dance tune of theirs, when they were older, is Blame it on the Boogie. Also, please have a listen to Kenny Thomas - Outstanding. Smooth and soulful, gorgeous music.
Joe Jackson was the father. From left to right, the brothers are Tito (on guitar), Marlon, Jackie, Michael, and Jermaine (on bass). I'm lucky (old) enough to have seen them twice!
