Biography
Jackie was born Sigmund Esco on May 4, 1951 in Gary, Indiana exactly on Katherine's 21st birthday. Because he is the oldest son, he was most aware of the start and success of the Jackson Five. His childhood was taken away, but Jackie enjoyed this way of life also. Jackie had fun on the contests they joined. Sports was another hobby of Jackie. When he was 19 he gave up a promising American Football carreer for music. Besides, the incredible huge success of the Jackson 5 and The Jacksons. Even though Jackie plays instruments like guitar and piano, he only sings on songs by The Jackson Five and The Jacksons. He is the lead singer on songs like “Wondering Who” and “Wait”. Jackie also made some solo albums. In 1973 Motown released his solo debut called simply Jackie Jackson. This album was a rare piece of recording by Jackie, apart from the Jackson 5. It took Jackie 16 years to make another album. In 1989 Be The One was released. This album contains the singles “Stay”, “Be The One” and “Cruzin”. In 1989, The Jackson brothers made a comeback with their album 2300 Jackson Street. Jackie listens to music of other artists very much. He adores old soul but also modern music. Jackie is concerned about the fact everybody can be a star. The fact you need to be good looking to star in a video. Nobody's making real music anymore. Jackie married Enid Spann in 1974. They divorced in 1987 and Enid died several years ago. They have a son Siggy and a daughter Brandi. Brandi did some modeling. A few years ago, Jackie founded Futurist Entertainment, and Jesco Records is a division of that company. He’s trying to launch new stars, as well as his son Siggy aka Dealz who makes his hip-hop and rap music.
