For nearly five decades the Jackson family have captivated the world, becoming part of our musical fabric. From the moment  Marlon, Jackie, Tito, Jermaine and Michael’s voices combined to form the harmonious quintet known as The Jackson 5 and “I Want You Back” hit the radio-waves in 1969, our ears were transfixed, our hearts were transformed and we knew our lives would never be the same.

Centric is celebrating the legacy of the Jacksons with a weekend of programming that celebrates the lives and music of this incredible family. Discover the band’s humble beginnings and tune in to watch “The Jacksons: An American Dream,” then relive the final moments of the King of Pop as he readied his comeback in the pop documentary “This Is It.”

Don’t miss any of the exciting programming this weekend and help us show love to the Jacksons. Check out the full schedule below:
