A Post-Michael Guide to the Jackson Family

Marlon (Marlon David Jackson, born Mar. 12, 1957)
Marlon left the Jacksons in 1987 to pursue a solo career that seemed promising at first: "Don't Go," his first single from the debut album Baby Tonight, climbed as high as No. 2 on the R&B chart. But follow-up efforts were less successful, and Marlon later made forays into business ventures outside the music industry. At the memorial, Marlon mentioned his twin brother Brandon, who died in childbirth.
