About Jermaine Jackson

Jermaine Jackson is an American singer, songwriter and bassist. He is best known for being a member of the Jackson family. From 1964 to 1975, Jermaine was second vocalist after his brother Michael of the Jackson 5, and played bass guitar. In 1983, he rejoined the group, now known as the Jacksons, where he consistently played with the group during periods of activity, before departing again in 2020.

While Jermaine did not usually sing the lead vocal on the Jackson Five's biggest hits, he is featured on "I'll Be There" and "I Want You Back," among others. When four of the brothers left Motown Records for Epic Records in 1976 and had to rename the family act The Jacksons, Jermaine, who had just married Motown founder Berry Gordy's daughter Hazel, stayed at Motown and was replaced in The Jacksons by his youngest brother, Randy. Jermaine had a solo career concurrent with his brother Michael's and some top-30 hits until the 1980s, produced and recorded duets with Whitney Houston on her debut album in 1985, and was a producer for the band Switch. After seven years he rejoined the Jacksons and remained throughout their various breakups and reunions.
