Sigmund Esco "Jackie" Jackson, born May 4, 1951, is an American singer and songwriter best known as a founding member of the Jackson 5's.

Jackie is the second child of the Jackson family and the oldest Jackson brother.

Early life

Sigmund Esco Jackson was born in Gary, Indiana, on his mother Katherine's 21st birthday in 1951. Samuel Jackson, his grandfather, gave him the name Jackie. Michael, Michael, Marlon, Tito, Jermaine, Randy Jackson, and his sisters Rebbie, La Toya, and Janet were born in a two-bedroom house in Gary, Indiana, a manufacturing steel city south of Chicago. Joseph's father worked at a steel mill, but he and his brother Luther played in an R&B band called the Falcons at night. Katherine, their mother, is a Jehovah Witness. She played clarinet and piano. Joseph, Joseph's father, formed the Jackson Brothers singing group, which included Jackie and his brothers Tito and Jermaine. Marlon and Michael, two younger brothers, were involved in various perceptive games.

Since Katherine discovered that Michael could sing, Joe made Michael the lead singer forming the Jackson 5 by 1964. The brothers rehearsed every day after school following Joe's example, keeping them busy and out of danger. Joe knew that their talents could bring them out of Gary. "There wouldn't have been The Jackson 5 without her," Jackie says of his mother Katherine. Katherine used to sing harmonies with the brothers. The company emerged professionally within two years, after deciding with Motown in 1968. Jackie wanted to work in professional baseball long before he opted to work with Motown.

Personal life

They had two children:

When Jackie had a affair with pop star Paula Abdul in the 1980s, he was the subject of media coverage. Lela Rochon dated actress Lela Rochon from 1989 to 1991.

Jackie Triggs, his second wife, married him in 2001. They then divorced. On December 31, 2013, Jackson married Emily Besselink, his third wife, who gave birth to twin boys, Jaylen and River Jackson.

The Jackson brothers, Jackie, Tito, Marlon, Jermaine, and Randy wore gold necktie, a single white glove, and sunglasses while honoured Michael on July 7, 2009 at Michael Jackson's memorial service. Jackie has spoken out in response to Michael's allegations that he knew my brother but not like that." Michael was a troll in the family's story, and it was made simpler now because the American legal system has no statute that shields the deceased against slander, according to USA Today, February 27, 2019.

Career

Jackie had a great singing voice when she appeared. He had the most natural, clear, and singing voice of all the brothers. In some of the Jackson 5's hit singles, including "I Want You Back" and "ABC," he appeared briefly. Jackson's role as a singer and songwriter increased after the Jackson 5 left Motown for CBS Records in 1976. On Michael's top-ten Epic song "Enjoy Yourself," he performed lead vocals and also added composition on six of the band's albums with Epic. During the Epic years, Jackson's voice shifted to a lower tenor vocal style. "Can You Feel It," Michael's co-written book "Can You Feel It," became a worldwide hit in 1981. When Michael embarked on a solo career, Jackson began to perform more lead vocals. Jackie on her 1984 album Victory, was the lead on the song "Wait" and wrote the single "Torture." He sustained a knee injury during rehearsals, which delayed him from beginning the Victory Tour in 1984. Jackie recovered well enough to appear on the last leg of shows in December 1984 in Los Angeles, where Michael revealed he was leaving the company. Marlon left the company in early 1985 as well as in early 1985. During this period, Jackie, Tito, and Randy became session players, singers, and producers.

Jackie, Randy, Tito, and Jermaine reunited and recorded "Time Out for the Burglar," the film's theme tune. The single was a minor R&B hit in the United States, but it had more success in Belgium, where it reached the Top 40 for two weeks in a row. The Jacksons also sang backing vocals on Tramaine Hawkins' 1987 album Freedom's Tito-produced title track. The Jacksons set out to record their last album, 2300 Jackson Street, on which Jackie and Jermaine split leads. Despite the Randy and Jermaine-led hit "Nothin' (That Compares 2 U)," 2300 Jackson Street failed to chart. Randy did not participate in much of the album's sales as he was promoting the album in the United States, leaving Jackie, Tito and Jermaine alone to market the album mostly overseas. Each brother went back to solo projects afterward. Jackie and his brothers put on a reunion performance with Michael in 2001, just years removed from the limelight, at Madison Square Garden during his 30th-anniversary special.

Jackie Jackson's first solo album Jackie Jackson was released in 1973. In late 1989, Jackie signed with Polydor and released his first solo album in 16 years, Be the One. The album was a minor success, peaking at #89 on the R&B charts, earning it at #89. The first single, "Stay," was a Top 40 R&B hit, while the second single, "Cruzin'," was a moderate success.

Jackie founded and operated two record companies, Jesco Records and Futurist Entertainment, Las Vegas, 2002. In 2007, his son Sigmund, Jr., also known as DEALZ, launched a mixedtape on Jesco. Jackie, Tito, Jermaine, Marlon appeared in Jackie Colton's 2009 film The Jacksons: A Family Dynasty, which Jackie executive produced. In 2012, the quartet began their first tour since "viscence" in 1984. After meeting Lya in Las Vegas in 2015, Jackie signed EDM meets Hip-Hop musical pair "Gold Lemonade" composed of France born DJ/producer Lya Lewis and Caribbean rooted frontman Jvgg Spvrrow and his label Critically Amused. Jackie also signed artist D.B.L., a longtime friend of The Jackson family.
