“We got it from watching groups like the Temptations and Jackie Wilson,” Jackie says now. “We got it from our mom and dad they taught us a lot about the business. He can’t dance at all, but he could direct. We started harmonizing with Mother, that’s how we got started singing.”
The Jackson legend continues –the group got rave reviews performing at the Kentucky Derby last weekend. They have upcoming dates in Detroit, Atlantic City, N.J. and overseas. But you can catch them during the Allstate Tom Joyner Family Reunion August 28- September 1 in Orlando, Florida. “
This will be our first and we hear great things about it,” Jackie says. But he has one important priority aside from staging and rehearsal time.
“You’re going to have some good food there, right? “
