The Jackson Family

The Jackson Family is an American family of musicians and entertainers from Gary, Indiana. They are sometimes called the "First Family of Soul" or the "Royal Family of Pop".

The Jacksons are one of the most influential families in music history. In 1997 the Jackson 5 were inducted to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Michael was inducted as a solo artist in 2001, making him one of the few who have been inducted twice. Joining her brothers, Janet was inducted in 2019. Michael, Janet and the Jacksons were awarded stars on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in 1984, 1990 and 1980, respectively.

In 2009, a television series entitled The Jacksons: A Family Dynasty premiered on A&E, documenting the Jackson brothers dealing with the sudden loss of Michael and preparing for a Jackson 5 reunion tour.
