Where are the Jackson 5 today, besides Michael and Janet? Also, it was recently announced that Latoya Jackson has admitted that Michael stole the Moonwalk from a Soul Train dancer! This made me wonder if this is backbiting because Latoya may be the poorest of the group? And, so the OP popped into my head.

Janet and Latoya were not members of The Jackson 5. Only the brothers, and I’m not sure if it was all of them, were in the 5.

The original lineup was Michael, Jackie, Jermaine, Tito, & Marlon. Jermaine left in 1976 and was replaced by Randy.

Jermaine rejoined the group for their 1984 tour.

Nat X [Chris Rock], interviewing Joe Jackson [Sinbad]: “What you wanna hit Tito for?! Tito never hurt nobody!”

I’ve no idea why I find this hysterical.
