At Home with the Jacksons
Shortly after the family was settled in their second California home in May 1970, they posed for a series of photos that included band members, Johnny Jackson and Ronnie Rancifer as part of the family. I bought these photos several years ago from the Right On! magazine archives. In the first photo you can see that both Randy and Michael are unhappy with Janet, and Mrs. Jackson is completely distracted by something happening off camera to her right in the first two photos. By the third photo, Johnny, Ronnie, and Tito seem to be having their own private party.
the Jacksons lived at this house for a period of one whole year. May 1970 - May 1971. the house was even the subject of a Creem article. i'm really fascinated and love pictures of the family and their homelife during this era. you can feel the togetherness. it's a shame that Rebbie is not in any of these pictures, she was living in Owensboro, Kentucky briefly at this time i believe.
ReplyDeleteI have one really early picture of Rebbie with Jackie and Marlon, but it was taken inside Hayvenhurst. And I think she was in the big family photo from the Life magazine spread, wasn't she?
ReplyDeleteFamily photos with all nine family members are hard to come by. It seems that either Rebbie or Jermaine was missing.
could someone please tell what was the number of the house on Hayvenhurst jackson? Since ja a Hug
