Early life

Marlon David Jackson was born on March 12, 1957, at St Mary's Mercy Hospital in Gary, Indiana, the sixth child of Joseph's, who was a steel mill worker, and the Falcons, and his brother Luther Jackson, a Jehovah's Witness, and Katherine Jackson, a Jehovah's Witness. He was born seventeen and a half months before his younger brother Michael (born August 29, 1958). Marlon grew up, and he was especially close to Michael, who regarded him as the substitute for his missing twin brother, Brandon, who died shortly after birth. Marlon and Michael were a fun pair. "We were the jokers of the family," Marlon said. They'd often be in danger, but they'd been friends for a while.

By 1964, Marlon and Michael joined Tito, Jackie, and Jermaine, forming the Jackson 5. Katherine, mother, performed the piano and clarinet, as well as singing harmony with the brothers. The father, Joe, was in charge of the rehearsals, keeping them off the street and away from trouble. They have won singing competitions around the country, including New York. That was the start of their careers. Randy Jackson, the youngest Jackson brother, was unable to make the cut due to their name. He appeared on the television show "The Jacksons" in 1976, as well as other appearances. Marlon was nicknamed "the dancing best Jackson" because of his flamboyant dance moves, a term he himself adopted. Marlon was not the most prominent member of the Jackson 5 to be disgraced. On several of their hits, he appeared lead vocals. Marlon also performed conga and tambourine. Rebbie, La Toya, and Janet are three siblings in Marlon;

Personal life

Marlon and Parker have three children:

Marlon and Carol have six grandchildren, two from Valencia and four from Brittany.

"Maybe now, Michael, they will leave us alone," Marlon and his family said, addressing the crowd: "I would like for you to give our brother, my twin brother, Brandon." "I love you, Michael, and I'll miss you," Marlon said. Tito, Jackie, Jermaine, and Randy Jackson were pallbearers wearing a gold necktie, a single white glove, and sunglasses in honor of Michael, Marlon and his brothers.

“If your brother was sick and someone wanted to slander his name," Marlon said in a Rolling Stone interview in 2019. That's not him. That's not his character. We know our brother is correct, but there are no facts to back up these claims." "It's a quick money grab," he says. That's all it is.'

Career

Marlon and his brothers first signed as the Jackson 5 with Gordon Keith of Steeltown Records in November 1967, and their first single "Big Boy", was released on January 31, 1968. After the group recorded three more songs with the Steeltown label (on two records) they were signed with Berry Gordy of Motown Records in 1969. Not feeling that they were being paid fair royalties by Motown Records for their success as well as their desire for creative control, the Jackson 5 decided to leave the label and sign with Epic Records in 1975. Jermaine split from the Jackson Five to start a solo career at Motown, and was replaced by his brother Randy Jackson. Unbeknownst to the group, Gordy had trademarked the name The Jackson Five and did not allow the group to continue using the name when they left the label. Once signed with Epic, the group became known simply as The Jacksons. In 1983, Gordy asked the group to perform at the Motown 25: Yesterday, Today, Forever television special. In 1997 he was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1997 with his brothers. In 2001, he reunited with his brothers to perform for the Michael Jackson 30th Anniversary Special.

Like Michael and Jermaine, Marlon began a solo career, releasing the album Baby Tonight In 1987. Despite Baby Tonight reaching No. 22 on the Top R&B Albums chart in the United States, Marlon has not released another album since then.

Marlon was successful within real estate in Southern California. In 1999, Marlon started running the Major Broadcasting Corporation (MBC) along with Florida attorney Willie E. Gary, baseball player Cecil Fielder, boxer Evander Holyfield, and Alvin James. MBC was a religious network based in Atlanta. In October 1, 2004, they rebranded as Black Family Channel. In May 2007, the Black Family Channel was sold to the Gospel Music Channel, now known as Up TV. In 2008, Marlon and a board of new partners founded the Motherland Group, LLC bringing recognition to Badagry, Nigeria.

Marlon now runs Study Peace Foundation, founded in 2015, aimed to promote peace and unity in communities worldwide offering programs designed to engage children, adults and the elderly to live in peaceful environments. “As a community we all should know that promoting peace and unity would cause a chain reaction that children will observe. It all starts with what we make accessible to the children,” he said. The foundation went into a partnership with KaBOOM! (non-profit organization) to build playgrounds in New Orleans, Gary and Los Angeles.
