Some people might consider me to be an American superstar. All in know is that I was born in Gary, Indiana in 1958 and have been entertaining audiences nearly my entire life. My father, Joseph Jackson, had been a guitarist but was forced to give up his musical ambitions following his marriage to my mother, Katherine (Scruse). Together they prodded our growing family's musical interests at home. By the early 60s my older brothers Jackie, Tito and Jermaine had begun performing around the city; by 1964 Marlon and I had joined in.
