The stage lights burn hot in 1975. The host announces Jackie, who offers a confident nod. Tito swings into view with a laugh, his guitar ready. Marlon dances a quick, sharp step, smiling wide. Michael's thin frame holds a voice that rings out, pure and bright. Then the spotlight finds you—Isaac, the sixth Jackson. The crowd's roar swells as the band strikes their opening pose, the night crackling with the promise of their music.
