It took a while for her to access stardom. Jackson had the help of her siblings, who rallied around her to make one or two contributions, and in no time, she released several tracks that were hit songs.
Her 1984 "Centipede" song was the first to become a hit. The singer's other albums include "Reaction," "RU Tuff Enuff," and "Yours Faithfully."
A decade ago, she shared her opinion about a tragedy that befell the Jackson family.
Jackson shared three kids with Nathaniel, and their children happen to share a similar interest in entertainment as their mother.
Two of her daughters, Stacee and Yashi, founded a girl band, and are performers. While the singer's son, Austin, is a solo musician.
Jackson lost her life-long love, after forty-four years of being together, in 2013. After his fight with cancer, Nathaniel passed on. It was a tragedy for the family.

Recently, Austin honored his father on a day that should have been the deceased's birthday. He featured an image of his dad and mom and wrote: "...This picture is how I'll always remember him right beside my mother always..."
The 70-year-old has not made any comment concerning her husband's death. However, a decade ago, she shared her opinions about a tragedy that befell the Jackson family.
