Randy Jackson joined the Jackson 5 in 1976
Randy Jackson officially joined the Jackson 5 in 1976 at the age of 15.
There are two different men by the name of Randy Jackson. The American Idol judge was NOT in the Jackson 5. He was was born in 1956. The other Randy Jackson, born Steven Randall Jackson did often travel with his brothers, but did not join the group until Jermaine left in 1976 and the group became The Jacksons because Berry Gordy would not let them keep the name The Jackson 5.
The original Jackson 5 consisted of Jackie, Jermaine, Tito,Marlon and Michael. Rnady Jackson joined the band after Jermaine married Berry Gordy's daughter Hazel Note: Jermaine was not with the band after they switched from the Motown label to CBS records. He felt that the move to CBS would compromise his loyalties to the Gordy family.
Their reaction? It was expected that he would join his older brothers and sing with them.
No. At the beginning of the Thriller music video he clearly states that he is not. Even after that he did not join one.
He was the best singer, so the group decided to make him the lead so their music would sound as good as possible. Answer: Michael Jackson was an adorable child who could dance, and had a child's high pitched voice. Joe Jackson decided he could use those things to promote the group. Also, at the time the Jackson 5 came out, there were a lot of Brother/Sister groups like the Carpenters, Donnie and Marie, etc. Having a cute kid out front set them apart from the rest.

He was either 6 or going on 8 years old.
there are only 6 brothers in the Jackson family, the youngest is Randy, he couldn't join the group cause he was too young. When the group desided to leave Motown, Jermaine also desided to leave the group (or actually the group desided to leave Jermaine). At that time randy was old enough to join the brothers who were called 'the jacksons' now.
The Jackson 5 began as a group in 1964. Jackie is 66 (born Sigmund Jackson, May 4, 1951) Tito is 64 (born Toriano Jackson, October 15, 1953) Jermaine is 63 (born December 11, 1954) Marlon is 61 (born March 12, 1957) Michael died in 2009 at the age of 50 (born August 29, 1958). * Randy, who took Jermaine's place in "The Jacksons," is 56 (born October 29, 1961).
