The Jackson Sisters (not to be confused with the Cincinnati-based group of the same name and unrelated to the Jackson Five) were an American family ensemble specializing in soul and disco, established in 1971. Although their roots trace back to Compton, California, their main operations were centered in Detroit, Michigan.
History
The lineup featured Jacqueline Jackson-Rencher, Lyn Jackson, Pat (Olivia) Jackson, Rae Jackson, and Gennie Jackson. Throughout the 1970s, they recorded under Prophecy Records and enjoyed moderate recognition. Their popularity experienced a resurgence almost ten years later amid the burgeoning rare groove movement in the UK. A significant portion of their repertoire was created by songwriter Johnny Bristol. Their notable track "I Believe in Miracles" was initially composed and performed by Mark Capanni in 1973; however, his rendition was released a year subsequent to theirs. Capanni also authored "A Day in The Blue." The song attained position #72 on the UK Singles Chart in June 1987.
