It was said that the family patriarch Joe Jackson wanted his brood to eclipse that of the Osmonds and in that was a mission accomplished in every conceivable way.  They were a huge force in the 70’s and much of their music remains well known today.

A very successful Singer/Songwriter throughout the 70’s, Jackson Browne combined angst and sensitivity to become a beloved musical star.  His political singing has also kept him relevant and in the public eye.
