Jermaine was nominated for the Grammy Award for Best Male R&B Vocal Performance for his 1980 album Let's Get Serious. When The Jackson 5 left Motown, Jermaine left the group and stayed at Motown. It sold over one million copies by March 1973, and was awarded a gold disc. Like Michael, Jermaine began a solo career while still a member of The Jackson 5, and had a hit with the 1972 Shep and the Limelites cover 'Daddy's Home'.

In 2001, he reunited with his brothers to perform for the 30th Anniversary Special. He stayed with the group for their final album, 2300 Jackson Street, in 1989. Jermaine also participated in the band's Victory Tour. After the success of the broadcast, Jermaine rejoined the band to record the album Victory which featured all six brothers on The Jackson's album cover. Several years later, in 1983, Gordy asked the group to perform at the Motown 25: Yesterday, Today, Forever television special.

Once signed with Epic, the group became known as The Jacksons. Unbeknownst to the group, Gordy had trademarked the name The Jackson Five and did not allow the group to continue using the name when they left the label. Jermaine split from the Jackson 5 to start a solo career at Motown, and was replaced by his brother Randy Jackson. Others argue that Jermaine's marriage to Motown founder Berry Gordy's daughter Hazel, whom he married in 1973, was the reason. However, Jermaine decided to stay with Motown Records, citing loyalty to the company as the reason. Not feeling that they were being paid fair royalties by Motown Records for their success as well as their desire for creative control, the Jackson 5 decided to leave the label and sign with Epic Records in 1975. Jermaine performed as part of the group for six years. As the co-lead singer of The Jackson 5 after his brother Michael, Jermaine sang notable parts of 'I Want You Back', 'ABC', 'I'll Be There', 'The Love You Save', 'Dancing Machine', and many other Jackson 5 songs. After the group recorded three more songs with the Steeltown label (on two records) they were signed with Berry Gordy of Motown Records in 19. Jermaine and his brothers first signed as The Jackson Five with Gordon Keith of Steeltown Records in November 1967, and their first single 'Big Boy', was released on January 31, 1968. Jermaine graduated from Birmingham High School in Van Nuys, Los Angeles, California in 1973. Jermaine would continue to provide some leads over the years. Jermaine became the original lead singer of the Jackson Brothers-an earlier incarnation of The Jackson Five until 1966, when younger brother (Michael Jackson) began singing lead. While his father worked long hours as a crane operator, Jermaine and his brothers, Tito and Jackie, secretly practiced their own songs using their father's guitar. But their large family and lack of money ended their dreams with Katherine becoming a housewife, and Joseph, a steel worker at nearby Inland Steel Company in East Chicago, Indiana (his parents lived there before they moved to Gary in 1950). His father Joseph had musical aspirations, playing guitar with his brother’s band, The Falcons, and Katherine was a passionate pianist and singer. His siblings are Rebbie, Jackie, Tito, La Toya, Marlon, Michael, Randy, and Janet. He is the fourth child born to Joseph and Katherine Jackson. Jackson was born Decemin Gary, Indiana, after his brother Tito Jackson. He also produced and recorded duets with American singer Whitney Houston in her early years as a recording artist, and was a producer for the band Switch. Jermaine also had a solo career concurrent with his brother Michael's, and had a number of top 30 hits throughout the 1970s and 80s. He rejoined the group in 1983, and has remained with them since, through various breakups and reunions. When the group left the Motown label and reformed as 'The Jacksons', Jermaine stayed with Motown, due to loyalty to Motown founder Berry Gordy, whose daughter he had married, and was replaced in the group by youngest brother Randy.

He sang the lead on some of their songs and had featured vocals on many others, including many of their biggest hits like 'I'll Be There' and 'I Want You Back'. He was a member of The Jackson 5, a singing group composed of him and four of his brothers, from 1962 to 1975, where he was the second lead vocalist (after brother Michael) and played bass guitar. Jermaine La Jaune Jackson (born December 11, 1954) is an American singer, songwriter, bass guitarist and member of the Jackson family.
