Janet Jackson
Live Music: Funk, Pop, Soul
Sister of her more famous brother Michael, Janet Damita Jo Jackson is the youngest of the incredible Jackson family.
She launched her solo career aged 16 with a self-titled album, but faced criticism for her limited vocal range. By the time she released third album 'Control' she was in her stride. Record producers Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis helped her to incorporate RnB, rap and triple swing.
She signed her record-breaking recording contract with Virgin Records in '91 and released 'Janet' - her first outing as a sex-symbol - and starred in a film 'Poetic Justice'.
She is ranked by Billboard Magazine as one of the top ten best selling music artists of all time having sold over 100 million albums worldwide.
