Rare Photos of Michael Jackson With Sisters Janet, Latoya and Their Mother Katherine for Jet Magazine, 1979

The Jackson family, both as a musical group and as solo artists, have achieved success in the field of popular music from the late 1960s and onward. They are sometimes called the “First Family of Soul” or the “Royal Family of Pop,” especially following the success of Michael and Janet Jackson, the former of whom is frequently dubbed the “King of Pop”.

Regarded as the most popular members of the family are Michael and Janet, both of whom have had highly distinguished solo careers and are often hailed as two of the most influential pop and R&B artists in history. All nine of the Jackson siblings have gold records to their credits with La Toya holding the distinction of being the first Jackson sister to attain one (awarded by the Syndicat National de l'Édition Phonographique for “Reggae Night”, which she co-wrote for Jimmy Cliff). Janet is the first black female to receive the Billboard Icon Award.

The Jacksons are one of the most influential families in music history. In 1997, the Jackson 5 was inducted to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Michael was inducted as a solo artist in 2001, making him one of the few who have been inducted twice. Joining her brothers, Janet was inducted in 2019.

Michael, Janet and the Jacksons were awarded stars on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in 1984, 1990 and 1980, respectively. In 2009, a television series entitled The Jacksons: A Family Dynasty premiered on A&E, documenting the Jackson brothers dealing with the sudden loss of Michael and preparing for a Jackson 5 reunion tour.

These rare photos captured beautiful moments of Michael Jackson his with sisters Janet, LaToya and their mother Katherine for Jet Magazine in 1979.
