The Jackson 5, formed in 1964 in Gary, Indiana, were a groundbreaking American pop-soul group comprising brothers Jackie, Tito, Jermaine, Marlon, and Michael Jackson. Managed by their father, Joe Jackson, they captivated audiences with their dynamic performances and youthful energy. Their music blended pop, R&B, soul, funk, and disco, drawing inspiration from Motown legends like The Temptations and The Supremes. The group made history with their first four singles—"I Want You Back," "ABC," "The Love You Save," and "I'll Be There"—all reaching number one on the Billboard Hot 100 between 1969 and 1970. Their success not only launched Michael Jackson's illustrious solo career but also left an indelible mark on the music industry, influencing countless artists and earning them induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1997.
