Jackson Brothers Set Record Straight on Joe Jackson

0:00On April 23rd, Jackie Jackson and Marlon Jackson just set the record straight on their dad, Joe Jackson. The guy who managed the Jackson 5 didn't force his kids into music like some folks think. Instead, the brothers say they dreamed of being entertainers from the jump, and Joe spotted their talent early on. Back in 1964, Joe saw Tito messing with a busted guitar and hooked him up with a new one. That sparked the group with Tito, Jermaine, Jackie, plus Michael on Kongas, and Marlon on Tamarine. A talent scout named Evelyn Lahaye even suggested calling them the Jackson 5, and they started hitting talent shows and clubs. Fans have long debated the family story, but Marlon wants everyone to get that the Jackson's are like any big family full of ups, downs, trials, and learning to agree to disagree. This all ties into clearing up those myths. Now, the upcoming movie Michael dives into Michael's rise from Jackson 5 days to Pop King, spotlighting his ambition and family life.
