Michael showed a prodigious talent for music from a very early age, often singing in front of his classmates at school. In 1964, aged six, he joined the group his older brothers formed called The Jackson Brothers and performed backing vocals and congas. By 1966 the family collective had renamed themselves The Jackson 5 and Michael and Jermaine had assumed vocal duties. They toured the Midwest extensively, even playing in adult strip joints.
