Review.- Janet Damita Jo
Jackson (born May 16, 1966) is
an American singer, actress,
songwriter, record producer,
dancer, activist, and pop
icon.

Born in Gary, Indiana,
daughter of Katherine Esther
(née Scruse) and Joseph
Walter Jackson. She is the
youngest of ten children. The
family was of
lower-middle-class and devout
Jehovah's Witnesses. By the
time she was a toddler,
Janet's older brothers:
Jackie, Tito, Jermaine,
Marlon, and Michael had
already begun to perform on
stage at nightclubs and
theaters as the Jackson 5.

Review until Rhythm Nation
Era.- While initially having
apprehensions about starting a
music career, she did agree to
participate in recording
sessions with her family. Her
first recording was a duet
with brother Randy on a song
titled 'Love Song for Kids' in
1978. When Janet was fifteen,
Joe launched her recording
career by arranging a contract
with A&M Records.

After the limited successes of
her first two albums(Janet
Jackson debuted in 1982 &
Dream Street in 1984), A&M
Records hired producers Jimmy
Jam and Terry Lewis to
jump-start Jackson's career,
figuring that musically, she
would be a great match with
the duo. Before Jackson left
for the producers hometown of
Minneapolis, Minnesota, Jam
and Lewis were given the
blessing of Jackson's father
(her manager at the time),
with the promise that they
would not have Jackson's music
sounding like Prince, whom the
two had previously been
associated with.

Within months, Jackson, Jam,
and Lewis crafted Jackson's
breakthrough album, Control.
Released in February 1986,
Control the album spun off six
Hot 100 hits in the U.S., five
landing in the Top 5: 'What
Have You Done for Me Lately,'
'Nasty,' 'When I Think of You'
(Jackson's first number one
single on Billboard's Hot 100
singles chart), 'Control,' and
'Let's Wait Awhile' and the
Top 20 hit 'The Pleasure
Principle.' Most of the
Control music videos,
meanwhile, were choreographed
by Paula Abdul. The album went
to the top of the Billboard
200 album charts for two
weeks, and has sold more than
six million copies in
America.

In early 1987, Control
received a Grammy nomination
for Album of the Year, six
Billboard Music Awards, four
American Music Awards, three
MTV Video Music Awards and
three Soul Train Music Awards,
including Album of the Year.

The same year, Jackson took
another step toward
independence by firing her
father-manager, Joseph Jackson
(although the back of her 1989
album Rhythm Nation 1814 still
carried the logo for Joseph's
management company). Janet and
her older sister Rebbie
Jackson were the only two
siblings who did not
participate in the We Are the
World video.
In 1989, Jackson began
recording her fourth album,
Janet Jackson's Rhythm Nation
1814. 1814 referred to the
year 'The Star Spangled
Banner' was written; in
addition, 'R' is the 18th
letter of the alphabet and 'N'
the 14th, hence 1814. Though
executives at A&M wanted an
album similar to Control,
Jackson instead created an
album that, in addition to
songs about love and
relationships, had heady
socially-conscious message.

Rhythm Nation 1814 peaked at
number one on the Billboard
200 Album Chart as well as the
R&B Chart, sold six million
copies in the US at its time
of release, and became the
first album to spawn seven Top
5 singles: 'Alright,' 'Rhythm
Nation,' and 'Come Back To
Me'â?? as well as four number
one singles: 'Miss You Much,'
'Escapade,' 'Black Cat,' and
'Love Will Never Do (Without
You).' The album would not see
great success in the UK,
however, struggling on both
the album and singles charts
in that country.

In 1990, Janet became the
first artist to score a
number-one hit simultaneously
on the Billboard Hot 100 and
Mainstream Rock singles charts
with 'Black Cat.' Billboard
named Rhythm Nation 1814 the
number-one selling album of
the year. Jackson went on to
win fifteen Billboard Music
Awards, five American Music
Awards, four Soul Train Music
Awards, three MTV Video Music
Awards and her first Grammy
Award. The Rhythm Nation 1814
Tour had an impressive
attendance of more than two
million people and remains the
most successful debut tour by
any artist.

From 1986 to 2006, Jackson has
scored ten number-one singles
on the Billboard Hot 100 and
fifteen number-one singles on
the Billboard Hot R&B/Hip-Hop
Songs. She is also the second
musician with the largest
amount of number ones on the
Billboard Hot Dance Club Play
(the first being Madonna),
with seventeen dance
chart-toppers in total. In
addition to her commercial
accomplishments, Jackson has
won five Grammy Awards,
received a nomination at the
66th Academy Awards, received
a star on the Hollywood Walk
of Fame in 1990, and was
honored with the first
'mtvICON' tribute from MTV in
2001.
