The Jacksons – Now

After a 17-year long break, the Jacksons reunited in 2011 to celebrate their brother’s solo career (the late Michael Jackson). They also performed as part of the group’s Unity Tour. A while ago, their brother Randy retired, but the rest of the Jacksons remain active, performing at different events and venues and touring the world.

Janet – Then

Janet is the youngest member of the Jackson family. She may have performed on variety shows with her older brothers, but Janet preferred acting more than singing. On the Good Times sitcom, she played the frightened and battered child named Penny, who lived in the same neighborhood as the Evans family, one of the biggest roles she played when she was a little girl. Fame and Diff’rent Strokes are also other hit shows where Janet appeared. She managed to have a singing career of her own as well.
