Biography
Early years Born in Gary, Indiana to Joseph and Katherine Jackson as a twin, his older twin brother Brandon died a stillborn after an emergency c-section surgery was performed on Katherine. Marlon was born several months premature. As a baby, his older brothers Jackie, Tito and Jermaine formed an early incarnation of what would be The Jackson 5 in 1962. Within two years, Marlon and younger brother Michael joined the group initially as percussionists. According to sources, Marlon was told by his father Joseph that he couldn't sing and wasn't as skilled a dancer as younger brother Michael. While he eventually danced, he was required not to sing during the early years of the Jackson 5 until the group was signed to Motown in 1968. This article is about the city. ...

The Jackson 5 -
In 1969, the Jackson 5 scored the first of four consecutive number one pop singles during their tenure in Motown. While brothers Michael and Jermaine were the main leading attractions of the group, all five Jackson brothers took turns singing lead in various songs. During the early years, the group was influenced by the multi-vocal leadings of The Temptations and Sly and the Family Stone. During the Motown years, Marlon co-sung lead in the group's 1970 hit, "I'll Be There" where he ad-libbed holding on besides Michael, Jermaine and Jackie. Marlon also had a co-lead spot in the cover of Funkadelic's "I Bet You", he also sung co-lead on their covers of Sly and the Family Stone's "Sing a Simple Song" and "I Want to Take You Higher". It wasn't until 1973, however, that Marlon started taking more lead spots on the Jacksons' songs such as "Hum Along and Dance" and "Mama I Got a Brand New Thing (Don't Say No)". Eventually a dispute with Motown led to the group's split from the label in 1976 to sign with CBS Records leaving brother Jermaine to leave the group. The Jackson 5 (also spelled The Jackson Five or The Jackson 5ive, abbreviated as J5, and later known as The Jacksons) was an American popular music quintet (and briefly a sextet and quartet) from Gary, Indiana. ...

Later years After the inclusion of youngest brother Randy and the group's name change to the Jacksons, Marlon took the place of Jermaine as one of the group's co-leaders often taking Jermaine's spot when singing older hits at concert. The group's later albums, Destiny and Triumph, returned the brothers back to the top of the pop charts. Marlon took a special co-lead spot on the Jacksons' album track "Give It Up" from their Triumph album playing a second tenor contrast to brother Michael's falsetto lead. The return of Jermaine to the group in 1983 after their reunited performance at Motown 25 led to a new album and tour, both titled Victory in 1984. Despite the success of both the album and tour, monetary problems and rumored accounts of the brothers' egos led to the collapse of the Jacksons as a group. Michael announced his exit from the group at the end of the tour while Marlon stunned family members a year later and announced his split from the group leaving the Jacksons as a quartet of Jackie, Tito, Jermaine and Randy. The Jacksons later confirmed their breakup in 1990. Marlon didn't participate in much of the Jacksons' final album, 1989's 2300 Jackson Street though he and Michael were featured on the title track, which became an R&B hit. Marlon issued his debut album, Baby Tonight, on Capitol Records, which was only a modestly successful album. As far as playing a pivotal role in his brothers' careers, he produced songs for all three of his sisters, producing Janet's 1984 album, Dream Street, which featured the top ten R&B single, "Don't Stand Another Chance". He also produced a song on Rebbie Jackson's debut album, Centipede.
