Joseph and Katharine Jackson moved into a 672-square-foot home in Gary, Indiana in 1950. Together, they raised nine children in that tiny home and turned them into some of the greatest performers of all time. The couple had seven sons Jackie, Tito, Jermaine, Marlon, Brandon, Michael, and Randy. Sadly, Brandon, Marlon’s twin, died a short time after birth. The couple also had three daughters Rebbie, La Toya, and Janet Jackson. On May 29, the baby of the family, Janet, shared a special birthday message to her sisters who share the day six years apart.
