Rebbie Jackson, born on May 29, 1950, in Gary, Indiana, is a notable American singer and solo R&B artist. She is best known as the eldest member of the iconic Jackson family, which includes music legends such as Michael Jackson, often referred to as the "King of Pop." As the first of ten siblings—nine brothers and one sister—Rebbie grew up in a musically inclined household that significantly shaped the entertainment industry.
At the age of 18, Rebbie made the decision to marry her childhood sweetheart, Nathaniel Brown. Their marriage on November 30, 1968, sparked tension within the Jackson family. While her mother supported her choice, her father opposed it, believing that early marriage could limit her opportunities in show business.
Despite these familial conflicts, Rebbie enjoyed a long and stable marriage. She and Nathaniel Brown had three children: Stacee, Yashi, and Austin Brown. Stacee later gave birth to Rebbie’s first grandchild, further extending the close-knit family. The couple remained married until Nathaniel’s death from cancer on January 6, 2013, a rarity in an industry often marked by marital instability.
Although she had aspired to sing from an early age, Rebbie’s professional music career began after her marriage. Her debut album, Centipede, was released in 1984 and marked a significant breakthrough. The title track, written and produced by her brother Michael Jackson, became a major hit—reaching No. 4 on Billboard’s R&B chart and entering the Billboard Hot 100 at No. 24. The album brought her widespread recognition in the R&B genre.
She followed up with her second studio album, Reaction, in 1986. Produced in collaboration with her brother Tito Jackson, it included tracks that charted modestly and helped solidify her place in the music world. In 1988, she released her third album, R U Tuff Enuff, featuring the moderately successful single "Plaything."
