La Toya Jackson was born in Gary, Indiana, the fifth of nine children born to Joseph and Katherine Jackson. After her mother became a devout Jehovah's Witness in 1966, Jackson, along with her siblings, was indoctrinated into the religion. Jackson would spend most of her time (alongside her mother) evangelising door-to-door.[1] By 1974, Jackson was brought into the spotlight with her family after her father arranged the family to perform shows in Las Vegas and in other cities.[2] By 1979, Jackson and her other sisters Rebbie and Janet formed a short-lived group, though they never sang live together and eventually broke away due to arguments over the direction of the group and lack of available rehearsal time. [3]The next year, Jackson began work on her first solo album.
