A World Dream

Por: Helládio Holanda

Jackie, Tito, Marlon, Jermaine, Randy and Michael. Only one of them left very early, the lead vocalist Michael Jackson, yet the sheen, the legacy of the band The Jacksons, formerly known as Jackson 5, remains alive forever! The Five Brothers from Gary, Indiana, United States, have always been very close. The brothers formed the band with the exception of Randy who joined the band in 1976 when the group became The Jacksons and were hired by Sony, Jermaine stayed on the old record label, remained 5 members but named The Jacksons. In 1984 at the last meeting in "Victory", Jermaine joined the band and for the only time we had all the brothers reunited, in this case the Jacksons "Six" if we could call it that. The band that packaged successes from 1969 to 1990, brought historical hits like "ABC", "I'll Be There", "I Want You Back", "Dancing Machine", among others by the former Motown label between 69 and 75, after this period continued to pack hits such as "Blame It On The Boogie" "Shake Your Body" "Can You Feel It" "State Of Shock". The Jacksons were and are phenomena of success. Today they are back, doing their last tours around the world. In 1992 the TV brought the series "American Dreams", for the author of this work, they went from an "American Dream" to a "World Dream".
