History

One of the first boy bands, the Jackson 5 consisted of brothers from Gary, Indiana: Jackie (born Sigmund), Tito (born Toriano), Jermaine, Marlon, and Michael Jackson. Though their youthful and energetic sound made them seem like “bubblegum pop,” the boys played instruments, had vocal talent and practiced choreography.

The Jackson 5's big break came when they won a talent contest at Harlem's famed Apollo Theater. Embraced by such big names as Gladys Knight, Bobby Taylor, and Diana Ross, the group attracted the attention of Motown's Berry Gordy, who signed them to the label.

The Victory Tour was a concert tour of the United States and Canada by The Jacksons between July and December 1984. It was the first and only tour with all six Jackson brothers (even though Jackie was injured for most of the tour). The group performed 55 concerts to an audience of approximately 2 million. Most came to see Michael Jackson, whose album Thriller was dominating the popular music world at the time.
