Michael Jackson still had some of his baby teeth when he first appeared on-stage with his brothers in Gary Indiana. He was barely five years old, and the Jackson brothers were pre-teen prodigies in that northern steel town, but it was Michael’s dynamism that catapulted them to worldwide acclaim. He was a star.

Joseph and Katherine Jackson had nine children between 1950 and 1966. Joseph was a steel worker who had been a semi-professional musician. His three oldest sons Jackie, Tito, and Jermaine, formed an R&B and before long, Michael and Marlon were part of the act. They were known as The Ripples and Waves, and the Jacksons.
There were a few records for smaller local labels and some local television appearances and talent contests. Before long, the Jacksons were opening for major acts like the Temptations and Jackie Wilson.
New Musical Express called Michael ‘The Sorcerer’s Apprentice of Soul, studying at the feet of the great in Harlem’s Apollo Theatre’. He observed closely, rehearsed more dedicatedly than his brothers, and realized early what it took to be a star.
