We all know that there are only 5 members of the Jackson 5. Many fans remember Michael being the youngest boy of the family and Janet the youngest girl. It turns out, we were all wrong and there were 6 members of the Jackson family, and the youngest brother was named Randy!
Randy Jackson appeared with the band many times from as early as 1965, bringing their member count to 6.
People are stating that he doesn’t seem fully connected to the family and is missing from many group photo’s (strange). Given the popularity of the Jacksons, it is hard to accept that most of the public would be unaware of an entire member or one of the brothers.
The video below is an eye-opener and I think you will find it intriguing.
No way! It’s always been Jackson 5! That’s so weird! 😂

I don’t know how old this post is, but I only started hearing about this Randy Jackson until a few years ago. There was no Randy when I used to watch them on TV in the 70s.

I recall Randy appearing with his brothers in 1971 officially. He was on the Jackson 5 tour from 1972 playing the congas. He became an official member in 1975 when Jermaine left the band, and they went from the Jackson 5 to The Jacksons.
