While still living in their tiny home in Gary, brothers Jackie, Tito, Jermaine, Marlon and Michael formed a musical group that became known as the Jackson 5.

By 1968, the Jackson 5 signed with Motown Records and quickly became a pop-music phenomenon with hits like "I Want You Back," "ABC," "I'll Be There" and "Never Can Say Goodbye." In 1971, the family moved from their home in Gary to a compound in Encino, California, called Hayvenhurst.

After leaving the Motown label in 1975, the Jackson 5 changed their name to the Jacksons and continued producing hit singles like "Shake Your Body (Down to the Ground)."

Michael began his solo career while still with the Jackson 5 and released his LP Thriller in 1982—to date, the best-selling album of all time. It was the beginning of a wildly successful career that transformed music for the next several decades.
