Michael Joseph Jackson[18][19] was born in Gary, Indiana, a part of the Chicago metropolitan area, on August 29, 1958.[20][21] He was the eighth of ten children in the Jackson family, a working-class African-American family living in a two-bedroom house on Jackson Street in Gary.[22][23] His mother, Katherine Esther Jackson (née Scruse), left the Baptist tradition in 1963 to become a devout Jehovah’s Witness.[24]She played clarinet and piano and once aspired to be a country-and-western performer, but worked part-time at Sears to support the family.[25] His father, Joseph Walter “Joe” Jackson, a former boxer, was a steelworker at U.S. Steel. Joe performed on guitar with a local rhythm and blues band, the Falcons, to supplement the family’s income.[26] Despite being a convinced Lutheran, Joe also participated in his wife’s faith as did all their children.[24] His father’s great-grandfather, July “Jack” Gale, was “a Native American medicine man and an (sic) US Army scout.”[27] Michael grew up with three sisters (Rebbie, La Toya, and Janet) and five brothers (Jackie, Tito, Jermaine, Marlon, and Randy).[28] A sixth brother, Marlon’s twin Brandon, died shortly after birth.
