The Jacksons – Now

After a hiatus of seventeen years, the Jacksons reunited in 2011 to celebrate the solo career of their brother (the late Michael Jackson). As part of the group’s Unity Tour, they also performed. Their brother Randy retired a while ago, but the rest of the Jacksons remain active, performing at various events and venues, and touring throughout the world.

Janet – Then

Janet is the Jackson family’s youngest member. She may have performed with her older brothers at times on variety shows, but Janet preferred acting more than singing. One of the biggest roles she played when she was a little girl was on the sitcom Good Times, where she played the frightened and battered child named Penny who lived in the same neighborhood as the Evans family. Other hit shows where Janet appeared are Fame and Diff’rent Strokes. She also managed to have her own singing career.
