La Toya Yvonne Jackson (born May 29, 1956) is an American singer/songwriter, actress, businesswoman and television personality. The fifth
child of the Jackson family, Jackson first gained recognition on the family's variety television series, The Jacksons, on CBS between 1976
and 1977. Thereafter, she saw success as a solo recording artist under multiple record labels in the 1980s and 1990s, including Polydor, Sony
Music and RCA, where she released nine studio albums over the course of fifteen years. Her most successful releases in the United States were
her self-titled debut album (1980) and the 1984 single "Heart Don't Lie".
Jackson's recording career began its decline in the 1990s as a result of her controversial marriage to her entertainment manager Jack Gordon,
who she was allegedly forced to marry against her will. Amid erratic behavior on Jackson's part and widely publicized claims by the Jackson
family that Gordon had brainwashed her against them, her career was significantly impacted under his management. Jackson and Gordon
divorced in 1997 and after a period of public seclusion, she returned to the music industry in 2004 with the singles "Just Wanna Dance" and
"Free the World", which saw success on the Hot Dance Club Play chart in the United States. In 2011, she was a contestant on the fourth
installment of The Celebrity Apprentice and released an extended play, Starting Over, which is her most recent release to date. From
2013 to 2014, Jackson appeared in her own reality television series on the Oprah Winfrey Network, Life with La Toya, which aired for two
seasons. « hide |
