THE JACKSONS SHAKE THE STAGE WITH TRADEMARK POP-FUNK AND LEGENDARY SOUL By Alison Elsner
A
fter forming in the mid-60s, The Jacksons, five brothers from Gary, Indiana, became one of the most popular groups in the history of music with charttoppers like “Shake Your Body (Down to the Ground)” and “Can You Feel It.” The spectacular
showmanship continues, with such songs as “I Want You Back,” “ABC” and “I’ll Be There.” The Jackson 5 made history in 1970 as the first recording act whose first four singles reached No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100. They ultimately scored 17 Top 40 singles. In 1976, the group, except for Jermaine, left Motown
for Epic Records where they added their brother Randy and changed their name to The Jacksons. Five albums between 1976 and 1981 produced the smash hit singles “Enjoy Yourself” and “Where Did Our Love Go.” The Jacksons’ unique brand of soulful pop-funk have made them one of the most beloved musical
acts of all time and reminds guests of the legacy of mega-star Michael Jackson. The Jacksons hit the stage at 8 p.m. on Saturday, August 25 at Fantasy Springs Resort Casino located at 84245 Inidio Springs Parkway in Indio. For tickets visit fantasyspringsresort.com
