Who is Jermaine Jackson?

Jermaine Jackson is an American singer, songwriter, and bassist, best known for being part of the famous Jackson family. He was a member of the Jackson 5, where he was the second lead vocalist after his brother Michael and played bass guitar. Jermaine stayed with the group from 1964 to 1975, left for a while, and then rejoined in 1983, performing with them until 2020.

Unlike Michael, Jermaine didn’t often sing lead on the Jackson 5’s biggest songs but did sing on hits like "I'll Be There" and "I Want You Back." In 1976, when most of the brothers left Motown Records to form The Jacksons, Jermaine stayed with Motown because he had married Hazel Gordy, the daughter of Motown's founder, Berry Gordy. He was replaced in the group by his younger brother Randy.

Jermaine also had a solo music career and recorded several top-30 hits in the 1980s. He worked with Whitney Houston on her debut album in 1985 and produced music for the band Switch. Despite some periods away from the group, he stayed involved with the Jacksons during their reunions and breakups over the years.
