Jackie Jackson, the eldest of the Jackson brothers, has always been the steady anchor of the group. Back in the day, he was the smooth-voiced lead and tambourine shaker for The Jackson 5, adding that special charm to their performances.

After the Jackson 5’s culmination, the 73-year-old switched gears and became a consultant for his brother Michael’s estate. He’s been key in keeping Michael’s music and good deeds alive, working on projects like the Michael Jackson/Cirque du Soleil show. Even if he’s not always in the spotlight, his behind-the-scenes work keeps the Jackson name shining bright.

Tito Jackson, known for his lead guitar skills, was a cornerstone of The Jackson 5’s sound. His guitar riffs and smooth vocals helped define the band’s iconic style. Toriano Adaryll Jackson continued performing with the Jacksons even after the group’s heyday.

Tragically, he passed away yesterday at the age of 70 after a heart attack. His legacy lives on through his music and his sons, who perform as the band 3T. His influence on music and his dedication to his family make him a cherished part of the Jackson legacy.

Jermaine Jackson was a vital part of The Jackson 5, playing bass guitar, backing vocals, and sharing lead duties with Michael. After the group’s early years, he rejoined in the 1980s and helped them find new success.

He also made a mark with his solo hits, like Let’s Get Serious. Although he left the group again in 2020, (marking the end of an era), his musical contributions and influence on the Jacksons’ legacy are still notable.

But he didn’t completely leave music behind—he still pops up to perform with his brothers now and then. He’s also busy with his Study Peace Foundation, promoting peace and unity. His varied career shows he’s always ready to adapt and keep making a difference.
