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 carrier 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 will be out with his hip-hop
and rap music very soon. Daughter Brandi is now Jackie's
personal assistent at Jesco Records. |
