After 40 years in the business together, Jackie, Jermaine, Tito and Marlon, have sold more than 250 million albums worldwide.  Now, the brothers have a new lease ontheir own careers as they prep material and rehearse for the 40th anniversary celebration of The Jackson Five.

Jackson, Jackie Jackson, Tito Jackson, Marlon Jackson and Lori Gomes.  Co-Executive producer is David Rupel.  Supervising Producer is Anthony McLemore.  Executive producers for A&E are Robert Sharenow, Scott Lonker and Stephen Harris.
