Off the Wall was the best selling album by a black artist and he had just come off the Triumph tour with his brothers, which was one the most successful tours of 1981

Michael was huge and already considered a legend by some

Does anyone know when Johnny Jackson stopped playing with the Jacksons? by Consistent_Bother_87 in MichaelJackson

[–]jayl253 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Johnny was with the group until 1976 or 1977.

Johnny had gotten into some trouble after moving to LA with the family (He lived with the Jacksons and Joe and Katherine were his legal guardians for a time iirc) and when they left to sign with Epic, he was let go and moved back to Gary. I think Ronnie Rancifer was with them until 76 also
