Early years

David Jackson, a born in Burton upon Trent, Staffordshire, England, lived his first year in Swadlincote, Derbyshire, England. He grew up in Portsmouth's Paulsgrove neighborhood, where he attended Portsmouth Technical High School. When Jackson was a boy, the family moved to Gosport, Florida. He learned to play the violin, but he soon switched to piano, prompting his father to install one in the hall of their Paulsgrove council house. Jackson began playing piano in pubs at the age of 16, and he also received a scholarship to study musical composition at the Royal Academy of Music in London.

Edward Bear, Jackson's first band, was formed in Gosport, and Arms and Legs was later renamed Arms and Legs. After two failed singles, the band split up in 1976. When he first joined Arms and Legs, he was still identified as David Jackson, but he later adopted the name "Joe" in honor of his apparent similarity to British television puppet character Joe 90, a brilliant child spy. At the age of 20, Jackson legally changed his name to Joe. Jackson spent some time on the cabaret circuit in order to make enough money to record a demo.

A&M Records signed Jackson's demo tape in 1978 and signed him to A&M Records. Joe Jackson's debut album Look Sharp! appeared in the New York City next year. It was a blend of rock, melodic jazz, and a new wave, with a vein similar to Elvis Costello and Graham Parker. Look Sharp! magazine, a Rolling Stone publication, celebrated the album's wide critical success in 2013: In a rundown of the 100 best debut albums of all time, number 98 is at number 98. "Is She Really Going Out With Him?" followed the album's success, as the debut single "Is She Really Going Out With Him?" followed. In five countries, the top 40 has ranked, and No. 1 has ranked No. 1 and No. In Canada, there are 9 people.

In 1979, the Joe Jackson Band released I'm the Man. The album had a similar musical style, and had encouraging, but not as strong, feedback. It did produce the single "It's Different for Girls," which became Jackson's highest charting UK single, peaking at no. 5. In 1980, Beat Crazy followed. In the reggae crossover, Jackson also collaborated with Lincoln Thompson.

Jackson recorded an album for the British power pop group The Keys in 1981. The group's only LP was the Keys Album. The Joe Jackson Band appeared on tour extensively before it fell apart. Jumpin' Jive is Jackson's sequel to an album of old-style swing and blues tunes, featuring songs by Cab Calloway, Lester Young, Glenn Miller, and Louis Jordan. "Joe Jackson's Jumpin' Jive" was credited to the album and the accompanying single release.

Night and Day, Jackson's 1982 album, became his first studio album to chart in the United Kingdom and US Top 10, peaking at No. 10.1. 3 (UK) and at No. 1: (USA) 4:8 (US) Two singles from the album, "Steppin' Down" and "Breaking Us in Two," were among the top 20 hits in the United States. Both "Real Men" and "A Slow Song" referred to early 1980s gay culture in New York City, criticizing its exclusivity and requesting for a slower song in the disco respectively. "Real Men" became a top-ten hit in Australia.

By 1984, New York had become Jackson's home base, and he performed Body and Soul on the album, which later said was "from the point of view of a relative newcomer." It had been the No. 1 in the United States, influenced by pop and jazz styles and salsa. "You Can't Get What You Want (Till You Know What You Want)" is the 15 hit song.

Jackson performed piano on Joan Armatrading's album Secret Secrets in 1985, and he worked with Suzanne Vega on the single "Left of Center" from Pretty in Pink's soundtrack in 1986. Jackson's new album, Big World, featured all-new songs live in front of an audience who was told to remain seated while music was playing. It was a three-sided double record that was released in 1986; the fourth side featured a single centering groove, with a tag announcing, "There is no music on this side." Will Power (1987), a big classical and jazz influence, set the tone for things to come later, but before leaving pop behind, he released two more albums, Blaze of Glory (which he performed in complete throughout his subsequent tour) and Lust & Desiree. On a tribute album for the English band XTC called A Testimonial Dinner: The Songs of XTC, Jackson recorded his version of "Statue of Liberty" in 1995.

Jackson dabbled in classical music in the late 1990s; he signed with Sony Classical in 1997 and released Symphony No. In 1999, he received a Grammy Award for Best Pop Instrumental Album, 2001. Night and Day II, his father's 2000 release, was followed by another album.

He reunited his original quartet for the album Volume 4 in 2003, which culminated in a lengthy tour. He was a co-cover of Pulp's "Common People" with William Shatner for Shatner's album Has Been in 2004. In 2005, he joined Todd Rundgren and the string quartet ETHEL for a tour of the United States and Europe. He left his New York apartment in 2006 partly to protest the rise of smoking prohibitions and moved to Kreuzberg, Berlin, Germany. It was there that he recorded Rain, his eighteenth studio album, with longtime collaborators Graham Maby and Dave Houghton; the album was preceded by a five-month tour.

Jackson's official website revealed that his sequel to 2012's The Duke will be completed in 2015. In comparison to North American tour dates, the album's title, Fast Forward, and track list were announced. The titular first single was available on his official SoundCloud page. The complete record was posted for a day before being taken down a day later.

"Fosterically Absolute," "Strange Land," and "Friend is a stranger." Jackson released the album Fool on January 18, 2019. "One of my inspirations for this album was the band I've been touring with on and off for the past three years," Jackson said of the album on his website: "The band I've been touring with on and off for the past three years." I've had many different brands in the past, but this one is special." On Jimmy Fallon's Tonight Show on Sunday, Jackson and the band performed "Absolently Undecie" on Jimmy Fallon's Tonight Show. Fool debuted in the top 20 album charts in Holland, Belgium, Germany, and Switzerland. It debuted at No. 1 in the United States and debuted at No. 1 on the charts. Billboard's Top Album Revenue Chart ranks 25th. It debuted at No. 1 on the Indie Albums Chart in the United Kingdom, debuting at No. 82. 13.

Jackson spent a few years in New York City, which inspired his 1982 album "Steppin' Out." "I don't like New York much these days," Jackson said in a 2018 interview. It's as if the city and I had a tense love affair and now we're just friends, but we still have to see each other to remain friends. Today I live in Berlin. "I knew in late '81 and 1982 is gone," a New Yorker says. Jackson lives in Berlin but also has homes in New York and Portsmouth.

Jackson was married to Ruth for two years, but the union ended in divorce and Jackson was later dubbed a "disaster." Jackson said in a 2001 interview with the Irish Independent that he was in a relationship with a male partner. In his autobiography A Cure for Gravity, Jackson had previously discussed his bisexuality. In the 1982 film "Reality Men," his concerns of possible homosexuality and same-sex attraction is explored.

Jackson has actively campaigned against smoking prohibitions in both the United States and the United Kingdom, releasing a 2005 pamphlet (The Smoking Issue) and a 2007 essay (Smoke, Lies, and the Nanny State) as well as recording a parody ("In 20-0-3") on the subject.

Jackson wrote A Cure for Gravity, a 1999 autobiography that he described as a "book about music, thinly disguised as a memoir." It follows his working-class upbringing in Portsmouth and charts his musical career from childhood to his 24th birthday. He said that it was not worth writing about when living as a pop star.

Hundreds of artists were among the work of art in the 2008 Universal Fire, including Jackson.
