The Jacksons are wrapping up their 50th anniversary celebrations with this stunning retrospective tome that traces their career from the little-known, pre- Motown single Big Boy, through their extraordinary success as pioneering teen idols, The Jackson 5, before maturing into The Jacksons and suffering the departure, rise to global icon and later, death of Michael. Though the Jacksons’ ragsto- riches story has been told countless times, The Jacksons: Legacy is the first time it has been delivered from their own perspectives – with Jackie, Marlon, Tito, Jermaine and Randy each giving their side of the story, lending it an authenticity and intimacy which has been missing from previous accounts. While not shying away from tragedies and tough times, the book is ultimately a celebration. As fascinating as their story is, the lavishly illustrated book’s major strength is the images featured – many never seen before. Culled from the family’s personal photo albums as well as five decades’ worth of professional portraits, rare performance shots, backstage access, magazine covers and memorabilia, the book is a treasure trove of captivating memories. The Jacksons: Legacy is a perfect tribute.
