The Jackson 5 was a band of brothers made up of Jackie, Tito, Jermaine, Marlon, and Michael Jackson. They were born in Gary, Indiana and performed together from 1964-1989. They started in 1964 as the "Jackson Brothers" and performed in talent shows under the management of their father Joe Jackson. In 1967, they signed to Steeltown Records and released multiple singles before switching to Motown, a larger and more well-known record label. In 1970, the release of singles such as "I Want You Back" and "ABC" brought the Jackson 5 lots of success. They then went on very successful tours and became Motown's most popular group. The groups appeal to both the youth and the African-American community gave them a very large following. They were the first black group to gain such a large following of white people. Their performances were unlike others, as they had powerful vocals mixed with funky beats. Their huge success, however, came crashing down as Michael and Marlon started solo careers and the band's new records did not gain as much popularity as the ones before. In 1985 the band went their separate ways, short after Michael starting his solo career in 1983. The Jackson Five have been a huge influence on many artists, including NSYNC, New Kind on the Block, The Backstreet Boys, and even Beyoncé. They were also inducted into the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame in 1999. The Jackson 5 showed that talent has no color, and people from all races can enjoy a good song.
