Joe Jackson –
Talent manager, musician, bad dad.
July 26, 1928 – June 27, 2018.
Aged 89 years.
Most recognized for: A failed blues guitarist, Joe desperately needed a way to cash in on all the kids he mysteriously couldn’t stop having… so he made them dance & sing. His merciless rehearsal schedule and belt-wielding motivational tactics would become the topic of more than one Oprah interview many years later. But, the beatings paid off. The Jackson 5 were a success and Joe was able to live comfortably off of his well disciplined brood… until he caught himself a case of the Swayzes.
