portrayed his father as a young teenager in the miniseries . The song "My Sharona" was later parodied by the Dead Kennedys with the song "Pull My Strings" which included lines such as "I'll make my music boring, I'll play my music slow, I ain't no artist, I'm a business man, No ideas of my own". In 1992, he, Margaret, and Suzanne de Passe produced The Jacksons: An American Dream, an award-wimming and higly-rated miniseries about the history of The Jackson 5. Jermaine, Jr. They continue to tour and thrill fans with their high energy rock and roll performance. Jermaine converted to Islam after a visit in Bahrain in the 1980s. They have since re-united and in 2001 put out their studio album Normal As The Next Guy and their live DVD Live From The Rock N'Roll Funhouse. He also has a daughter named Dawn (her mother is unknown). After subsequent albums, though, the backlash against The Knack led to their break-up.

All of his marriages ended in divorce. The Knack's power pop and hard rock influences earned them much critical credibility. Jermaine was married three times, first to Hazel Gordy (mother of Jermaine, Jr., Autumn and Jeremy), then to Margaret Maldonado (mother of Jaimy and Jourdyn; common-law marriage), then to Alejandra Genevieve Oiaza (mother of Jaffar and Jermajesty). Music critics hated disco, which dominated the music industry at the time, and were, at best, coolly receptive to other developing trends like hip hop and heavy metal music. His biggest hit is "When The Rain Begins To Fall", a duet with Pia Zadora (1984). "My Sharona" was an international hit that earned the band comparisons to The Beatles. Jackson was nominated for Best R&B male vocal performance Grammy award for the Let's Get Serious album. The Knack were a Los Angeles-based rock band that rose to fame with their first single, "My Sharona", in 1979 (see 1979 in music) from their debut album, Get the Knack.

When the Jackson 5 left Motown, Jermaine left the group and stayed at Motown, as he was married to Hazel Gordy, the daughter of Motown owner Berry Gordy). Like Michael, Jermain also began a solo career concurrent to his tenure in The Jackson 5, and had a hit with the 1972 Shep and the Limelites cover "Daddy's Home". Jermaine was the co-lead singer of The Jackson 5, after his brother Michael, and sings notable parts of “I Want You Back”, “I’ll Be There”, and "I Am Love". Born to parents Joseph and Katherine Jackson, Jermaine became a member of the Jackson 5 with four of his other brothers who were signed to Motown Records in 1969.
