Jackie Jackson

Jackie Jackson doesn't get nearly enough credit, and honestly that's been the story of his whole career. As the oldest Jackson brother and a founding member of the Jackson 5, he helped build one of the most electrifying acts in pop history — and then watched his younger brother Michael become the biggest star on the planet. That could easily breed bitterness, but Jackie just kept showing up, kept performing, kept being the steady anchor of a family that went through more turbulence than most could handle. Getting inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1997 alongside his brothers was a well-earned moment of recognition for a guy who came out of Gary, Indiana with nothing but talent and drive. There's something quietly admirable about a person who plays the long game, holds the family together, and never seems to need the spotlight to feel whole.
