REBBIE (MAUREEN REILETTE JACKSON,
BORN MAY 29, 1950)
Before she and her sisters joined the Jackson 5
onstage in 1975, Rebbie's biggest contribution was
babysitting the large brood in Gary, Ind. She hit gold
with the 1984 song "Centipede" (which Michael wrote)
and went on to produce four albums, ending with
1998's Yours Faithfully for her brother's MJJ record
label. She is married with three children.

JACKIE (SIGMUND ESCO JACKSON,
BORN MAY 4, 1951)
He wanted to be a baseball player but quickly took to his
role as co–lead singer of both the Jackson 5 and the
Jacksons. Jackie produced two solo albums, 16 years
apart (1973'sJackie Jackson and 1989's Be the One). His
current project is launching new stars through his label,
Jesco Records. One longtime hopeful? His son, rapper
Siggy, a.k.a. Dealz.

TITO (TORIANO ADARYLL JACKSON,
BORN OCT. 15, 1953)
His official website, titojackson.com, says Tito's "mark
on music history ... has stood the test of time." But this
mark hasn't featured significant works apart from the
family's (though the site advertises a solo album and a
European tour in 2009). The late-night punch line
(Letterman is wont to joke about him) has focused much
of his musical energy on his three sons' band, T3.

JERMAINE (LAJAUNE JACKSON,
BORN DEC. 11, 1954)
At the memorial, he referred to himself as Michael's "rock" —
Jermaine publicly supported Michael during Michael's 2005 sex-
abuse scandal. Jermaine had a mildly successful solo career during
and after the Jacksons (including a duet with Pia Zadore). As
record sales dried up, he discovered reality television, appearing
on the U.K.'sCelebrity Big Brother in 2007 and producing a country
single on CMT's reality showGone Country II in 2008. Jermaine

LA TOYA (LA TOYA YVONNE JACKSON,
BORN MAY 29, 1956)
Her fledgling music career was soon overshadowed by
her popular fitness video (Step-Up with La Toya
Jackson) and provocative photo spreads: La Toya's
1989 Playboy pictorial was one of the biggest sellers in
the magazine's history. In 2007, she was a gun-toting
standout on CBS's celebrity-cop boot-camp show, Armed
& Dangerous. Out of respect for the Jackson family, the
filmmakers of Brüno made a last-minute edit to Sacha
Baron Cohen's movie removing an unflattering scene
featuring La Toya.

MARLON (MARLON DAVID JACKSON,
BORN MAR. 12, 1957)
Marlon left the Jacksons in 1987 to pursue a solo career
that seemed promising at first: "Don't Go," his first
single from the debut album Baby Tonight, climbed as
high as No. 2 on the R&B chart. But follow-up efforts
were less successful, and Marlon later made forays into
business ventures outside the music industry. At the
memorial, Marlon mentioned his twin brother Brandon,
who died in childbirth.

RANDY (STEVEN RANDALL JACKSON,
BORN OCT. 29, 1961)
The youngest of the Jackson boys, Randy thrived on the
piano and joined his elder brothers in the Jacksons after
Jermaine left in 1976. He went on to become a studio
musician and started his own label, Modern Records, in
1998.

JANET (JANET DAMITA JO JACKSON,
BORN MAY 18, 1966)
The youngest Jackson is the only one who has come close
to achieving Michael's solo success. Three of her albums
(1986's Control, 1989's Janet Jackson's Rhythm Nation
1814 and 1993's Janet) went platinum multiple times
over. Her forays into acting — from roles on Different
Strokes and Good Times in the '70s and '80s to her
movie debut in 1993's Poetic Justice — also proved
successful. In 2004, she ignited controversy over her
wardrobe malfunction at the Super Bowl and her secret
marriage to now ex-husband Rene Elizondo.

MICHAEL'S CHILDREN
Until the memorial, they often wore masks in public to
conceal their identities. But at the tribute, as her
brothers Prince Michael, 12, and Prince Michael II (also
known as Blanket), 7, stood quietly by, 11-year-old
Paris Michael Katherine broke their silence. In the
coming weeks, they could be at the center of a heated
custody battle: Debbie Rowe, the estranged mother of
Prince and Paris, has voiced interest in battling
grandmother Katherine for guardianship of all three
kids. (Blanket's mother is unknown.)

JOE AND KATHERINE JACKSON
They have been separated for years and have forged
drastically different relationships with their multiple
offspring. Joe was the force who brought the Jackson
family to its initial heights of fame, though allegations
of child abuse would surface in later years. Katherine
was the matriarch. "Every child thinks their mother is
the greatest mother in the world," Michael wrote in his
autobiography. "We Jacksons never lost that feeling."
