Originally, there were five performing brothers: Michael, Jackie, Tito,
Marlon, and Jermaine.  They recorded for Motown as the Jackson 5.  When
they sought creative control, they had to leave Motown.  Jermaine, who
was married to the daughter of Motown's founder, left the group to stay
with his father-in-law's record label.  Jermaine's place was taken by
Randy, a younger brother.

Since Motown "owned" the rights to the name "Jackson 5," the group became known
as "the Jacksons."  "Victory" is the first Jacksons album that includes Jermaine,
so it has all six of the brothers.  Only five of them are on tour, however, since
one (Marlon, I think) injured his knee.

There are also two sisters, Janet and LaToya, but that's another story, right?
