In memoirs, Joe described his father as strict and domineering and said he had a very lonely childhood, despite having many siblings. Long before he was one of the most successful managers in the music industry, Joe had dreams of becoming a boxer. In 1949 he married Katherine Jackson and together they had 10 children. It was in the '60s that Joe began working his children in the music industry and first formed the Jackson 5. When the band first formed, it was just Joe's eldest three sons, Jackie, Tito, and Jermaine. Eventually, Marlon and Michael were added to the band. The group began in the early '60s, but Jacksonmania didn't happen until 1970 when "I Want You Back" topped the Billboard Hot 100. The group quickly became Motown's top performing artist and Joe worked as the group's manager.

Joe worked as a manager for his children. Aside from his sons, Joe also notably started Janet Jackson's career when she was just 16 years old. Joe's reputation and media image were tarnished in the '80s when news outlets released claims his children made about his abusive behavior. There was a rumor that while he managed his children, they were not allowed to call him dad, but were instead forced to call him Joseph. Even though Michael was one of the first children to detail his father's abuse, he honored his father every year with a Joe Jackson Day at Neverland Ranch, and he even forgave his father before his death.
