The rich tapestry of Pop will always have one name woven with the brightest color - Michael Jackson. It is not just his revolutionary music, other worldly dance moves, or his tragic personal story, but the impact he created with his work and the legacy he left. His spirit was unbreakable even in the face of adversity, and the same spirit can be seen in his family members. Michael Jackson and his siblings grew up in tough conditions, which made them resilient and ambitious for greater things in life.

However, his siblings rarely get any place in conversations about his life, even though they were a significant part of it. 

Between 1950 and 1974, Michael Jackson's parents, Joseph and Katherine Jackson, had 10 children: Maureen (Rebbie), Sigmund (Jackie), Toriano (Tito), Jermaine, La Toya, Marlon, Brandon (who passed away as a baby), Steven (Randy), and Janet, including Michael Jackson. Outside of the marriage, Joe Jackson also had another daughter, Joh'vonnie.

A better portion of the Jackson siblings - Rebbie, Jackie, Tito, Jermaine, La Toya, Marlon, Randy, and Janet - was born with musical talent, but their paths varied from quiet perseverance to the brightest spotlights. Growing up in Gary, Indiana, Michael Jackson was the brilliant lead in The Jackson 5's early success, which propelled the family into stardom. The group that included the Jackson brothers gave legendary singles such as ‘ABC’ and ‘I Want You Back.’

However, as the siblings grew older, the family band broke up and gave way to successful and a bit turbulent solo careers. The others got a mix of personal hardships and artistic aspirations, while Michael Jackson reached previously unheard-of heights. Michael Jackson’s brothers had their fair share of ups and downs, but they all contributed equally to the revolution of Pop in that era.

While this was all about the Jackson brothers, what about the sisters and their professional careers?

Together, the sisters - Rebbie, La Toya, and Janet Jackson - stand for the notion that women can thrive in a male-run dynasty, with their quiet dignity, rebellious assertion, and world-conquering talent. Although the three of them achieved varied degrees of success, and Janet Jackson by far exceeded her two elder sisters, they all managed to leave their mark and become an equal part of the Jackson royalty in the world of Pop.

Ultimately, the Jackson siblings are more than just Michael Jackson's siblings. They are the creators of a lineage that changed mainstream music. The siblings' talent for music and their journey might be seen in the new Michael Jackson biopic currently in the theatres. They all have left an indelible mark with their music, and it should be celebrated along with the legacy of the King of Pop.
