Janet Jackson
As the youngest member of the famous Jackson family, it’s no wonder Janet Jackson rose to stardom on Good Times. She also appeared in Fame and Diff’rent Strokes. When Jackson was sixteen, her father arranged a record contract, and her self-titled debut album, Janet Jackson, released in 1982.
While her brother Michael became a legend, Jackson has had tremendous success as a musician. She is known for her provocative and socially conscious records as well as her elaborate stage performances. As one of the best-selling musical artists in the world, Jackson has sold over 100 million records.
The Jackson 5
After signing with Motown in 1968, the Jackson 5 became the first group to debut with four consecutive number one hits: "I Want You Back", "ABC", "The Love You Save", and "I'll Be There". Although each of the brothers released solo albums, Michael Jackson was the most successful. The group was honored with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in 1980.
